Shoots.

kind of my take on the "r_speeds be damned" concept (though on a much more subdued scale)

Something I'm working on involving custom textures and a sort of abstracted look for a level. This is the general look of the level. I'm keeping the more interesting things to myself for now. 

pretty cool idea Willem, although now I'm really wondering what the textured version will look like. 

of this doom2 level i was doing a while ago, but never finsihed because i had no ideas. just made because i was bored :)

Neat, I like that! Could be some cool possibilities there. 

Those shots remind of me of p0rtal :) 

I like the cel-shaded style Willem, reminds of Warsow a bit.

I actually like Fern's Mondrian 'suggestion', possibly add some random primary colour surfaces (ie, keep the majority as white squares with black outline, but replace a few of the white squares with red/blue/yellow/etc (still with black outlines ofc)) 

I'm reserving color for specific purposes. You'll see! It's all part of a plan... 

I was going to say, use color for a purpose, not to just to make the map more colorful. 

Add more rainbows. 

You heard him, Asaki.

I suppose the door for planes are in the back of the shot... though... 

Remarkable enough there were a lot of people complaining there were no planes in Doom's Hangar.
Now you're worried how to get them out!

I wonder if there's no func_train to make them fly and shoot them out of the air with a trigger_multiple spawning the pilot . 

shoots look cool

Lunaran:
They used the secret where the wall lowers and opens to the courtyard with the slime pit/armour in the middle. 

"Charlie 9er, you are cleared for runway 2 over"

"Charlie 9er confirm, opening hangar doors now"

*dozens of attendants begin grunting against the walls until someone finds the trigger* 

are go!

Now I'm obliged to get some doors in. 

awesome takeoff procedure 

Looks like my placeholder textures (though mine are coloured). I've been half tempted to actually do a map like that rather than adding "proper" textures, since it does look kinda cool (hey, it worked for Warsow anyway). 

A 'The Cube' theme being talked about a while back - lots of func_train rooms. Could fit the texture theme. 

still working on this melee mod. :P

so, just a little intro here:
max health = 500 now
regeneration: 100health + 200health over 12sec
invisibility: monsters can't attack you (for 10sec)
shift: teleport forwards (through monsters or telefragging them) 384 units
bind: make either a fiend or scragg your pet (they get stronger attacks, follow you and attack normal monsters)
damage you take is also split with the minion, although atm that's not very useful since they only attack monsters.

at this point, i have two choices:
1. combat based around hordes emphasizing positioning, crowd control, AoE and maneuvering
2. combat based around 1 or 2 monsters emphasizing debuffing, good footwork, cover and spell/energy conservation.

pets work for either large or small group combat. for example fiends hit multiple targets, scrags poison huge groups.

testing out horde combat atm, even without any AoE attacks. just lots of moving around, scrambling for cover as well as trying to stagger cooldown use so you always have a 'bailout' available.

the idea i'm going for is something like diablo where you're given a framework of spells/abilities and then thrown in a situation where you need to work out how best to use said spells/abilities. ie: this test map which is just about 15 shamblers and 20-30 hell knights in a small room with moderate cover.
