Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Sedlec Ossuary

For those who don't know, Sedlec Ossuary is a very popular burial spot, so popular that bodies had to be exhumed to make room for new burials, and the bones of the deceased are used to decorate the place.

Would be sweet if you could specify a design you wanted your own bones to be placed in.

"Could you arrange me in a sort of pile with five bones poking straight up? Make the middle one taller too."

It's not much to look at right now, but with a little more drab and less lighting it could be a pretty cool area.

If this doesn't look like a new FPS I don't know what does.

Wow that's like a Quake level in real life with inappropriate lighting. Nice find.

Haven't read this yet, might be bollocks, might be good: http://altdevblogaday.com/2011/10/19/boss-design-tips-from-a-combat-designer/

Anyways, be careful with that link. There are multiple game design related posts by different developers each day and you can lose a lot of time.

#1735 posted by Spirit on 2011/10/19 21:28:15

read it and I recommend it if you care about boss monster design (should have mentioned the topic above). interesting tidbits.
