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.

a) I want to have czg's manbabies
b) Valve must have based hl2 entirely on reference from this very site. Exhibits:

I didn't comprehend Lun's post on first read, and I clicked the links thinking it was a tech demo of some new valve engine... :O

Yes

That's an entirely reasonable assesment and I can clearly see how what I said could be construed as such by a sober, clear-headed individual.

Well, To Be Fair

the image of manbabbies does take a little time to shake before you get to point b).

Manbabbies?

Er, a collective of Barbra Streisand impersonating transvestites, maybe?

The internet needs broadcasting technology. (Or active proxies as people from different timezones start following links)

when somebody complains about a crappy map / game which is just plain corridors and stupid enemies, I can just say that "you just don't understand, it is perfect! A masterpiece of the hayden tunnel inspired".
