I thought Nexuiz looked great right up to the point where I played it and saw that it was Warsow with weapon bloat and the cool movement removed.

Non-linear Design

#20420 posted by ZealousQuakeFan on 2011/05/26 15:20:20

Also I was thinking about linearity recently myself, mainly because my levels so far are all extremely linear, so I'd be curious what Quake maps people think are a good example of non-linear design.

Stark Monstrosity - Has teh nonlinearity. Also Slave. You make a loop with two or three things which have to be done in a certain order so that you can unlock the next area (or two areas simultaneously ;).

Slave To The Machine

Could have sworn I'd played Slave but I loaded it up and it rang no bells :p will check it out then :)

didn't Day of the Lords have some nonlinearity in parts? I can't remember but i think you could visit the 4 corner towers in any order...

Also e1m5 is a good basic example of giving you two tasks and you choose the order to do them in.

JPL Had A Non-linear Map...

Forcing prisoners to play WOW is cruel and unusual punishment

The trading of virtual currencies in multiplayer games has become so rampant in China that it is increasingly difficult to regulate.

Yeah, I suppose only the government or correctional services could take responsibility for such cruel and.. oh, right.

I was saying in the first post that I see the Chinese government as enforcing torture in their correctional system, when governments are supposedly the ones who look after the people.

Yes, a bit naive.

That is a rather fascinating article. I will now talk to the Germans in British tones, and to Brits in German tones from now on. Linguistics is a fun subject, isn't it? :)
