Man the map looks so AWESOME, I really hope you can get it done soon so we can start "testing it" If its plays as good as it looks you have to do "Offices-UK"

Offices is supposed to connect directly to Biolabs, why not combine the two into a single map? That would be something interesting and very different.

Looking good IJC guys.

My initial thoughts so far:

- Lighting needs to be "moodier" - I know you're still tweaking things.
- The Horzine floor texture seems excessive, it's everywhere. Not sure if it's feasible to mix it up a little? It just looks too repetitive. That or add some grunge here and there to break things up?

I like how you're going for an almost 1:1 remake. I recognise all the areas you've shown in the screenshots. Are you going to add any extra areas or are you being strict on the layout?

Overall, looks very nice so far. Keep at it.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I tried this back in the KF1 times however there were some pathing problems and the gameplay got very slow. I did not spend too much time on it so this might be very possible now.
However we want to get this map 100% fionished before we start another project

Actually these are good ideas.
Yeah we are still optimizing the light to get it into the direction you suggested. Atm many lights which are destroyed in the old labs are now enabled due to KF2 destructable lights. Its actually quite hard to find a spot betweent good initial lightning and how the map looks after all the destructable lights are destroyed.
Concerning the floor: For the beta version we will release the map with this floor but it's no problem to change it during beta testing and add some "destroyed" or different areas of the floor.
We might also make an extended version of the map with more areas. Maybe even an elevator which connects the labs with some kind of entrance area or the first part of the offices (ideas are always welcome )

It should not take too long till we release the first Beta version

I hope that means like, within a week. This remake looks Fantastic Four/Four.

 

[FluX]

Holy crap guys, this is awesome.

 

[Jack-Carver]

Thanks!
Yeah within a week might be very possible. We just redid the whole lightning and added some "special effects.
The map now has a very creepy kf mod 2.0 feel to it imo.

This is beautiful.... It will be on my server being played by my friends the moment it is released :O :IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2:

Oh Yay. Oh Yay. Ohh Yaay.

I look forward to this, very, very much, spacious areas and claustrophobic passages sounds wonderful. Would also love the original (if possible, of course) sinks+cabinets on wheels you could nudge about, maybe create temporary physics-based barricades?

When will this map release? been what 2 weeks?

 

[-=Ivan=-]

The release got a bit delayed as I got sick this week. The map is nearly finished. We just need to do some minor tweaks.

I am not sure why hours matter in this case though? That does not define the actual experience one has with the game.
I often try to find bugs to report in any game I am playing.

I am interested, but who would not be with a map looking this good?
