Scorched Castle

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

Hey, because of the 20 brush level design contest over at leveldesign.nl, I decided to join it, it seems I am the only one who made a singleplayer level of the 20 brush limit in just few days. Also the level ws not allowed to have any decoration or deco meshes.

The main version is for UT, but the level at "forUnreal" is for Unreal, so you can play it in Unreal as well.

There is a bug of looping sound mover under galaxy which I didn't notice but it is beacsue of the nature of the sound, since it is set to be a looping one by default.

I did submit it although not all that I planned ended up in the level due to limited time. I planned to make a large battle arena in the end with lots of monsters, that didn't get made, but I think I made intersting small level nonetheless.

There is end in this level, it is when the screen says loading, although of course the next map doesn't exist, but there are mutators like dzmapm and tpmutator out there which you can use to link the maps together with any map you want, especially in coop.

Cool! Can we get a screenshot, I'm curious to what a 20 Brush SP map looks like

You can get a video too, but it is a spoiler, don't watch if you will not play it, since it is complete playthrough:

This. Map. Is. Absolutely. F***ing. Awesome.

Heavy inspiration by Unreal Alpha. Good. Looking forward to more.

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

Thanks. Yeah I got inspired by the old Unreal shots. I almost thought I will not make it in time and I had to take almost a day of rest after submitting it and I have trouble sleeping recently or waking up too often and it was heavy on me.

Not sure when I will make sequel to it or something, perhaps I can include it within a larger project or within Unreal PSX remake, it would fit I believe. Since they were supposed to use the textures, there is swamppsx package which is basically castle1 low res. No map used it, or at least not the ones that were recovered.

The video doesn't work inside the Spoiler tag on Linux, it makes it flash and not respond. Do you really need to put the video inside a spoiler tag since you need to press the button to play it in the first place?

Then just copy the link out of it, duh.

Yes I have to, becasue some people will just click on it without reading the text above.

Nice use of 20 brushes and I also love the Alpha-inspired look.

Might make a 20-brush "Alpha-map" of my own..

Making a prefab of a large area can come up to a single brush and you can build a big map of 20 brushes that way.

The issue is the surface limit there and also BSP bugs that come up with merging too many brushes together. If I had more time to make it I would make it larger and better. They allowed some late participants to supply it two days later, if I knew that I would not hurry with it so much.

It scored a second place at UT Reviews:

With a score of 65.
