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.

But you couldn't walk around on the outside of the tower in mexx9.

Also in Prince of Persia: The two thrones, the last level is climbing around on scaffolding at the top of the tower of Babylon.

Let's discuss towers in games!

The Adventures of Lolo!

Hmm

Well, the coolest tower game I'm aware of is Tower Toppler (DOS). There was also some cool levels like that in Pandemonium and Castlevania Bloodlines.

Ys, Too

I'm not saying you should build a whole, friggin' LEVEL around it. I'm just saying you could have a few of those in the background of a Q2 map and it might work.

Towers

Hi, I am after some source code for QRally or Quake Rally. Has anyone got them on a dusty harddrive? Cheers

That HalfLife 2 Game Had A Neat Tower In It.

They called it a Citadel, but everyone knows those are shorter and more crenelated.

Meh.

#778 posted by Text_Fish on 2007/03/15 13:29:34

The inside of the tower was quite disappointing though.

As Im Sure Others Here Do

when I get bored i sometimes read up on famous pieces of architecture/landmarks/and monuments of grand proportions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ca'_d'Oro
hell yeah

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_of_Victory
I don't care what it represents or that it was cast from Hussein's own arms, it's rather impressive (stainless steel :o)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olympus
yeah it's not architecture so what. Can one not be inspired by a legendary place such as this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoysaleswara_temple
I think other images of the Hoysala temple have been posted, but imho reading up on these places just makes them even more interesting.

fuck while you're at it just check ALL the shiva temples

"summon a demon" is really cool.

Cool artwork in general.

Navigation On That Last Site

is annoying as hell. My first thought when clicking a link should not be "gee I wonder what this does."

Summon a demon is nice and creepy. You could create a whole game menagerie with the 'random' button.
