Quake3World

There isn't really an appropriate forum for this exactly, so, instead of creating an entire thread, I'll just post it here, since you're design-minded folk. If you would like to give me feedback, you can just PM me instead of clogging up this thread with OT stuff.

It's a website I'm making for work:

Thanks!

P.S: Shadow that is looking good! Maybe adding some higher-intensity lights with more saturation, or just some variation in color in general would be a good thing I think.

Would look more corporate/business/academic if the background is switched from black to white. Black is gaming/personal/myspace, white is corporate. It's neeeeeearly a universal truth.

If that gives you trouble meshing it with the space theme, a maths-related BG image might be easier to get onto white...

Engine roughly based on a B-17 Flying Fortress.

Next part of shots of what I’m working on right now.

Are those 16 units steps? I hate that on q3, the view smoothing doesn't handle them very well.

You can cheat and add 8u steps with clip. Still looks a bit wonky though.

I also don't like 16u steps. They look too large and blocky. Lookin' good otherwise, Shadow.

Thanks, as I mentioned earlier, it's an old map, from times when I still did such big stairs . And I don't really want to change it now.

I've always liked 10-12u stairs.

Here's something I'm working on for Weaver:

TRaK, weren't you at quake2world team?

Yeah, I'm still part of the quake2world team, but at this point q2w is near enough to a proper release that there really isn't much left for me to work on. Basically, all we need is a a decent playermodel, ctf sounds, and some relatively minor code fixes/stabilization.

Speaking of which, if you're a character artist or musician/sound designer, http://www.quake2world.net/

very nice shadow, I'm digging the atmosphere

Wow, that's looking nice! I assume it is a ctf map!?

Heh, that's very nice. Did you get the inspiration while checking maps with r_lightmap 1? Sometimes I felt tempted by those looks

yep, ctf... getting back into the mode

You should make the RA area larger then. Many fights will take place there

There are plenty more screenshots on my website if you are interested in seeing other angles. The images are designed to be darkish and moody and could appear too dark for some people. I tested them with several friends and this was the most popular brightness setting. If you have any favourite images or feedback on screenshot brightness levels, please let me know. The map is just a visual doodle with absolutely no gameplay ... screenshots only!
