The pack is looking great! I've been keeping an eye on this one.

Are the textures suitable for a first-person spaceport or only isometric?

I like how larger-than-life these look. Just imagining taking a moon buggy on a drive through the halls/ramps

Hi, I have stepped away from FPS games it's boring. So strictly top down you could do 3rd person angles as well, I briefly flirted with creating a separate roof but that limits various things especially the animated stuff I have in mind.

I should probably give fair warning it is going to be at least another 2 months perhaps 3 months before I consider this a completed project, the goal is a simple one 600+ entities and be able to create 10 unique levels out of it. Quality needs to be excellent, easy to use, and be able to make interesting levels, keep your eyes peeled going to be fun time ahead.

Understandable, it's nice to see that there is an ever-growing variety of GG game styles that can be done.

Keep up the good work, this looks like it'll be your largest pack yet!

Here is more or less the base corridors.Before the additional stuff is added, would like to spend tomorrow and the rest of today, adding additional window variations, 2 or 3 additional variations should do the trick.After which I am looking at a turret gun, and a couple of additional goodies

It does look really good WOI.

Can I suggest that you turn the terrain off via a trigger at the beginning of the level? I can imagine you would see huge speed boosts and it would give the impression that the player is out in space.

Cheers

Jay.

@unfamillia

Thanks mate !

It's a space base, will be adding rock formations that snap to the outside perimeter, still massive amounts of work to be done, this is just a teeny tiny bit of whats to come. But I guess users can turn off the terrain on their own.Performance is going to be an issue with guys at the lower end of the spectrum but I will put proper notice

It is going to be super exciting, finished up a corridor with a side door that will allow snapping to additional walls that you use to build your own rooms, ramps and stuff.

For testing purposes every thing is one big cluster, which is doesn't have to be, but the it does look pretty awesome in a big cluster like that.

Pretty hard to show without a video, but will show two screens, will do a video when I am happy with the walls.

But a special corridor with a side door, that perfectly snap with some walls to make any room you want and or size.

@Bored of the Rings

Thanks mate.

In other news, I ran into a unexpected surprise, was the intention of using the side door corridor and special room walls as separate entities that compliment the main corridors.Due to the similar design they actually fit directly onto the main corridors, the foot pieces didn't line up correctly, so fixed that up this morning so now , windows and the corridors line up with the walls, and extend what you can create even more

So perhaps a vid later today

Additional trim does pretty well, Also added bits so that the drop off on the sides isn't that obvious.

A rare FPS vid, ( I actually got lost once, not use to FPS.)

I am warming up to the idea off adding a separate roof entities, to enclose the sections, it entirely depends on the demand.Things like the meat grinder won't work.If people want it they need to speak up.

What about doing a glass ceiling pieces for areas like the "meat grinder"?

Those window walls look perfect for keeping the player in view with isometric.

That looks awesome WiD, nice work. I think that would make a great FPS kit as well as 3D isometric, however if you're going to put a roof on it I think the walls need to be just a touch higher, they don't look quite tall enough for FPS.

Whatever you do i'll be buying it, this would make an awesome multiplayer arena.

Thanks guys !

@Belidos
Nope the are tall enough, default AI height is 80 and I always work with a level height of 125, more then enough for jumping.

One thing I did notice is just how stupid the zombies are.

That's cool. Personally I always work to 135 otherwise it feels as if you're brushing your head on the ceiling when you jump. But then again I feel the default jump is too low too, and always increase it, so I suppose it's just a matter of personal preference.

and yes, zombies are very stupid, they don't seem to react quick enough, and their pathing tends to make them bump into walls.

Now the fun starts working with the deformers, and internals walls, I want to make a window version, but it might end up costing close to 10K polygons will have to wait and see.

There you have it folks a bendy wall, will likely try and do a raised one, managing the division of the model and the deformer can be trick, this one however posed very little problems and pretty much perfect adds a little extra some thing.

Adding windows didn't turn out to be that expensive.But that is the last curve to go in a raised curve or any thing like it would simply cost way too much.

With that added, means it's the final screen for the weekend, and the last entity for the evening.

Wow it's actually gone faster then expected, I expected that this part was going to be weeks away. But I am finally at the part of adding the additional window colours, and will be swapping the _I maps with red, green and blue next, on the window frames, after which I will finally tackle the door glass.

It also means I am done with the base set, (100 odd unique entities building blocks) Decided on doing it in parts, other wise it will be too large to handle all at once, and gives me the opportunity to create some thing entirely different. Will be adding a top down scifi cave system next that doesn't rely on the base set but will still fit the relative theme, and then an outdoor scifi set, this is also to reduce costs for the end user.

What I like about this set it doesn't need actual lights sources every thing is basically building in for your convenience.

Finished all the re textures.

In the process of looking and adding odds and ends to finish off the set, for example didn't like the way outside bends end abruptly.With a camera height of 500, 800 no or little terrain is visible.

Tested with 300, it's too low, 500 is the min I feel, but you can play around with the setting till you get some thing that works for you.

Final result, this is what the rest of the roofs will look like now that the base is done.I like the contrast between the roof and the corridor, I think that is what I didn't like in the first attempt, the darker scheme is better.

Still not happy with the roof, feels like a hack job having the roof separately, so I am using the bases meshes and doing it properly so it will be an entirely FPS designed model pack

Going to have a bit of fun this weekend with, rendering and unique UV's, got a bunch of creative commons textures to play with so should be epic.There always seems to be one or two stray uv's. So want to get the correct settings done and make the work flow easier, using unique uv's allows not having to use atlas textures and you can have 100's of different textures on individual polygons, even layer or mask them.

Additional floors is always important, added several variations, So far every thing is going to be extremely low polygon, the highest so far is this one at 432 polygons, the side rooms might add up a bit more, but I don't think it will be over 1500 polygons per room, so you will be able to go nuts, with super large levels.
