Mine doesn't really take advantage of the void theme, it's more like a normal id-style map floating in the void. I noticed everybody builds some sort of platforms first, hmm, I pretty much built the walls first and filled in later...
I tried doing some things gameplay wise that didn't work out, partly because the idea wasn't very good and partly because of technical reasons. I would very much like to code my own progs for this, but it's not going to happen. What remains is just a rough indication of what I wanted to do. My scale also got out of hand, and is pretty hard to fill with standard id monsters. They work best in really cramped places. You can sneak up to Vores and shaft them before they notice you... :-/ Like with most RMQ maps, there is the problem of huge singleplayer scale being bad for deathmatch. You've got to run around a lot until you get to frag someone. There are solutions, but in this particular map it's a bit awkward. My motivation is pretty low as a result. I want to finish, that's pretty much all. Lessons learned, though. That's just Darkplaces. Looks the same in any other nice engine (with 24 bit texture support) though. I mapped with Blender, loving it.

i think i can beat the deadline... i�m having more time now... but the start was hard :| Trinca: Proof that brown works best in games (also, tried and true theme) ;-)
Spirit: Going experimental visually? What's the deadline again? Oh, and does this have to be a pakfile? That would remove the possibility to play it in a mod, which I would like to strictly oppose.
Yeah, I always liked that.
End of the month, it's somewhere up in the thread. It does not need to be a pak, but for the weapon removal through the start map it needs to be in its own folder. You could always copy or link the files to a mod or id1. Which is alarming because mappers block has me in the grip of its cold icy fingers.
But I wont let that stop me. There will be a map! From me. On the 30th.
