played the first one... was really shit.
this is what you're talking about right: http://blendogames.com/older.htm (at the bottom)

there is a train sequence but it's little more than running across the top of 6 cars while monsters spawn behind you.

i was thinking more where you're fighting through the cars themselves with different types too (cargo ones, passenger ones, fancy passenger ones, etc...) where monsters can break in through windows or in the case of cargo containers, open those side doors or something. 

Maybe it hasn't aged well, but that unit was very good, according to my memory. 

Experimenting with both a different visual style and also hammering out bugs in the OBJ->MAP convertor.

With each version, the 4th was great. I think that's the one with the Makron as a crime syndicate boss, and more involved train stuff.

Also I stole an idea from it 'telefragged' :) 

Minecraft has taught me that wooden floors and lava don't mix. What about flagstones?

I hope you've got some eerie sounds for that void as well :D 

 

Haha, never even thought of that ... lava and wood. My general feeling is, "Fuck it, it's Quake" - but who knows. 

Break up some of the wood and have lavaballs bounce from below. 

Looks very Doom-ish! 

it was... ok.

also Quake2 engine has bizarre physics. Like the way you bounce all over angled floors or how you will slide down even modest slopes, not to mention to way you will step up on a ledge if you jump towards it. 

YES. That is all. The finely crafted... almost delicate brushwork looks fantastic. More please! 

Or Burton-y, if you like. 

3 and 4 are very good. 1 and 2 not so much. 

cannot wait for this map. 

Cool..! 

Cool stuff. Also lol, clearly Willem is doing this to procastinate work on the UT. 

The obj->map converter works both ways and he's converting all Q1DM's into UT4 maps as we speak. 

then Epic will finally manage to have a good deathmatch level in one of their games. 

Hah! Truth be told, I'm off work this week so I'm hoping to get some real work done on this project. We're moving into our new condo today, so starting tomorrow morning I should have days of time spread out before me to work on stuff ...

The convertor is working well enough. It's very delicate however and I don't totally understand why. Probably my lack of programming skills. But it works well enough to get shapes converted and that's all I need for now.

Now I just have to decide on a visual style and start putting some sort of playable map together that works well with my mod ... Argh! 

Willem that looks shit hot 

Agreed. Super awesome style keep at it pleas 

Trying to squeez an Ogre!
Hope he don't get bored. 

The bit of the Vermis we don't see? 

I realize this is a little OT for this forum so feel free to ignore me, but if any of you play any CS:GO I'd really appreciate your feedback on this map I've been working on! 

looks nice, but I can see that the texture is really broken on the tower in shot #5.
Can't really comment on gameplay as I don't have the game.
