Hey look! It looks like the fungus that was growing on the screenshot thread has fallen off and turned into a topic!

Title: "Paradisio"
Author: Starscream
Difficulty: Depends how far you can expand your mind...
Description: So when somebody mentioned the word "Void", I instantly thought of this idea of a map, kind of styled after the whole portal thing in Hexen, just much more.... odd. It will have 4 different zones with a key you need in each, with a hub-type thing in the middle which lets you choose which one you want to go to next.

Episode: Episode 5
Screenshots:

This is the hub-type thing I talked about. A WIP.

I love those floating island things, how they taper into stalactites. It's something I was vaguely planning to do on my map with a floor portal outside.

This looks brilliant, really awesome Though I'd suggest a different sky for the "WIP Hub", that looks totally lame

When can we play this level?

Sorry for my amazing absence, yet I have been doing some heavy study for my exams and the usual real life tripe, yet now I have 2 whole months off!

First step, I will try to get these maps done as fast as possible, and fix up the errors with my other map. Terribly sorry for the wait, but I hope it will be worth it!

Yay, studies can be a pain

Looking forward to the map, I am sure the wait will be worth it.

Updated that start room a tad, just for a little more feel.


If you can't tell, the skybox constantly changes colour and brightness so it is tripped out.

How do you do that? A script that restarts after every n tics?

In a way, yes. The whole script consists of the brightness going from 0 to 255 to 0 again, before it restarts. Every time it restarts, a new colour is picked. Sometimes it seems to screw up and the colour changing and light fading becomes off time, and looks even more tripped out.
It is the same style of change that is used in Cyb's Void.wad, just edited in some of it's variables.

Awesome
