Title: disco level
Post by: fromhell on December 08, 2011, 01:24:23 AM
Layout could base from the OA logo

it'd be a small 'dumb' arena, less jumping emphasis, probably weapons: sg, pg, lg, gl

It'd have lots of mapobjects (i might have to make)

lots of shader experimentation

It could even be called 'club nub'!!!!!!!!!1

A gimmick map? :P

I had an idea a couple of years back about a 'gimmick-map' where the majority of the structure consisted of moving objects. What really annoyed me, though, was the fact that the q3 code makes you jitter when you stand on a rotating platform - even when the path you take is perfectly determined and predictable. Think interlocking cogwheels and such.

Speaking of gimmack maps how about one like the movie “Cube” where the map is one gaint cude and inside are smaller moving cubes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teaOH3B91eA

Also I think a kind of fun map would be one like the hell maze in the movie Hellraiser
(pictured below)

You're not the only one with that idea:

Map from the film: http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=2026 (http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=2026)
Map that's inspired by that kind of gameplay (works better than the first one): http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=1986 (http://lvlworld.com/review.php?id=1986)
