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.

Historical Note:

architecture in america at that time was very much "take europe's buildings and make the windows bigger," which shows in those images pretty well.

Pretty cool article about how a map author modded q3map2 to allow for all sorts of new mapping techniques to be used.

Nice screenshots too :)

I yelled in unashamed triumph from the depths of my chest for every drop of Niagara's sweet bukkake that stung my face and trickled down my cheeks.

Silly humans polluting decaying factory with dumb graffiti. At least have the decency to paint about azathoth and the old ones.

Heh

it's too bad becuase they reduce half-life-2-quality inpsiration down to kingpin-quality inpsiration.

Kingpin...

Isn't that the game from 1997 made by Markus Fly?

This guys goes into a crazy amount of detail in designing these alternate Earths, and other fertile planets:

(ignore the fact that when he gets to the "biology" section, these planets always seem to be inhabited by furries.)

A lot of it reminds me of my days playing SimEarth in high school. I also liked to draw imaginary land masses and coastlines and stuff, and loved the made-up maps that come with fantasy novels and console RPGs.

And since I'm working on an MMORPG, i actually got to imagine and draw maps during the early pre-production phase of the game.

Maps are cool.

So apparently it was bought by a porn company, no doubt because it's full of dungeons and stuff.

If they open it up for tours, maybe I'll go there sometime.

Lol
