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.

Maybe some people have links to good articles on leveldesign theory ?

For example gamasutra features, like http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20030603/licht_01.shtml

useful articles like that are hard to find, the ones on the TeamShambler site spring to mind though

Shouldn't the curve be flexing while the spike is piercing it and not before?

True, but this looked more jelly.
wanted a spark in it, and more rushy...
with the id comes the others.

I posted a bigger one, but the same name
returns me the stamp folio-size.

I'M SO INSPIRED!

With a little more effort those could have been haiku.

(Also, when you see it say "this feature is only available to registered users," don't get discouraged -- the feature you were expecting is still available, and the only thing you can't do usually is weird stuff like save your searches, build image sets for others to view, etc.)
