Level Design Degeneration

[KiCk3R]

Keep in mind guys. When its in a Development Stage, its in a non-finished product.
So seeing blobs of light and plain textures is going to be that way at the moment!

But later on, we start adding the bits and bobs of the map. And i can get down to serious detail

Haha!... yeh sure thing RoBoT. You can pinch it after Degeneration comes out. Although, you need to ask Asnipe first.
But i don't think it will be a problem.

 

[fabi]

any news on this one?

 

[KiCk3R]

Yup, shes still in development.

In the process of

-Building
-Story Line
-Voice Acting

And maybe (if i can get hold of the right person)

-Cutscenes

Expect a working Alpha eiether the end of this month, or next month.

You go man! Best mapper I've ever seen (no offense to anyone else), your Hive map was a true masterpiece.. can't wait to see this one, and I look forward to the final version of the hive for KFRetail!!

 

[Zetsumei]

can't wait for it.

I hope you test it a little bit on servers as well to make sure that all files work correctly on a redirect even if its 100mb

 

[nath2009uk]

I thought you were able to do cutscenes Kick3r?

 

[TomboPukka]

Well something interesting is going on that is all

 

[KiCk3R]

She Be A Comming!!!

Watch out for Wave 1

 

[Sheezwack]

I'm a bit confused, how will a map like this work to escape the airport, won't you just be running from trader to trader throughout the airport?

Is it possible to make the map so there is a start and finish as opposed to running back and forth? Can you choose the order of the traders or something?

 

[Ninjakitty]

It's quite obviously a story map like the Hive was.

 

[Maksimus]

Very impressive! want to have tested, we wait for the release of the gg!

 

[Sheezwack]

It's quite obviously a story map like the Hive was.

But he said it was for the competition? I assumed those maps had to use the same general mechanics that KF was designed for - or is it anything goes (story mode maps seem more like a mod for KF)?

 

[Ninjakitty]

Nope. Nothing in those rules say anything about no story maps.

 

[Sheezwack]

Nope. Nothing in those rules say anything about no story maps.

Well not specifically, I suppose it depends how you interpret this rule:

All maps must:
implement all standard Killing Floor gameplay functionality (multiple traders, playerstarts, ZED spawn volumes, etc)



I wouldn't have thought a story mode gameplay was part of the standard KF gameplay, since random traders is a core part of the gameplay - but I suppose it's good if they still allow it.

He might want to get clarification just to be sure though, I wanted to do something similar but thought it might not be within the rules.

 

[TomboPukka]

Actually ninjakitty you are wrong it is normal Killingfloor survival Sheezwack you are correct

 

[KiCk3R]

Actually...

Its going to run both!

Wave based (sticking to the rules)
And Surprise Spawns (sticking to the map creativity)

Anyway, Theres some HOT stuff comming your way

 

[Griever]

K1Ck3R are u god? Damn, I've played and seen tons of custom maps, but TheHive is the best of all, what a masterpiece! Now you making this?? Ur godlike, way to go!!!! Me want this map!!

u gonna win the contest for sure.. no doubt

 

[Sheezwack]

They have updated the rules for the competition, you can now include custom gamemode maps so you can do anything you want! Go nuts!

 

[KiCk3R]

This Sheezwack speaks the truth.

Degeneration will go ahead as planned as a STORY MAP

Anyway guys just an update.

We got some excellent scenes kicking in this map, not so much the... oh... another clot BANG. ... Another clot BANG.
Its incorporating my own "AI Director"

If your s@@@ hot at taking down specimens. More will come.
If you take them down... harder ones come.
And if you take them down, youl get what i like to call "The Fast Gezza's"
We have some modified specimens that run quicker that you.

And if your planning on running fast to get through the map, youl get owned much faster.

So with that in mind. We will have a First Release (Single Player) Before 31 July.

And a Multiplayer version for "the second wave" Where we will change the map in terms of layout and story / scripting / gameplay.

Comming soon guys!

I hope you read the rules. Only KF and RO textures can be used. I hope thats what you used.
