Don't worry I'll zipp all static meshes that I've got and send it to you

First of all I would like to apologise for copying a post from unrealsp.

These are (beta)weapons in maya/blender which will be in our mission pack. Also Delacroix asked a great code writter to convert one of great weapon project. But it will be surprise . These meshes which I show are work of NW Creation Team. I and MarcinBBlack we are modeling it, Gregaras is scripting them.

Minelayer:


Flamethrower: (looks a bit lame - this is beta picture; gived to MarcinBBlack my modeler and will be refixed)


Stinger Minigun:


Sniper rifle of UMS Army:


Shock Lance: ( a weapon created by Skaarj Mercenary science units which are working for NEG/UMS forces - this is a weapon that is created to be hand-to-hand fighting.





I think that's all for now.

Please contact me on PM

Major update to project:

Skaarj_Slayer official now as mapper and 2th. storyline design.
Also there is beta version of other than my maps.
Gregaras showed me the Canyon map - very very good done map, I think it will be great in final version.

Watched a little bit from your video: Honestly... unimaginative and extremly simple sometimes even doom 1/2 like geometry.
Terrain: "perfect" cliffs with somehow the same height NEARLY anywhere? (2d shape editor, I guess)
Those long sometimes straight looking canyons or skaarj tech facility corridors are really boring in my eyes.
Either you should take care of gameplay varities (small craters with wooden planks on it - but not just simply "added" into the landscape), forcing the player to take an other direction for a few seconds or whatever. The indoor part also looks to simple designed. Nothing great.
Or you add more details resulting in eye candies to overlook the gameplay aspect. I know thats not DM but sp modder seem to think they dont have to care about some design rules while creating their levels. I even think its a mistake to start with single player overall if you are new in the level design business, so NOT if you have switched the engine for example. Mapping experience is something which will never get lost, no matter if you switch the engine e.g. from ID tech to UEngine or other way around.
The better aspects seem to be those placed towers (somehow Turok like, nice idea) for example but overall:
first impression somehow 3 of 10 points (below average)... it just looks more like a typical UT monsterhunt map, extremely spammy with enemies and simple build.
But I tell you something: In my early mapping years I also tried to make some kind of total conversation, I still cant believe some people had faith in me, since I was much worse than the mappers I somehow hired. Crazy times. However project failed anyway, it was too much, just the typical "beginners" dream of something awesome huge.

Unreal levels dither to me between e.g 5 points (Sunspire) and maybe 8,5 points (Bluff Eversmoking). If Aztec would have made into the game with beginning terrain, then that would be my favorite.

Dedication is always good. If you can make it through it, then you learned something and got better at it. Even the worse projects (and I'm not saying that about this one) are a learning experience. Plus, you're open to critics, which makes you even more likely to progress.

So yes, be proud, there is no shame in any project, awesome, good, average or bad, if you put your heart into it
