WMC03: Biophilia

Worlds of darkness hidden among tech-bases that harbor primordial secrets. Biophilia is an ode to the blackness of the night, to the forests of the ancients, to the forgotten gods and to a life of secrets among the darkness. Where once there was progress, now only the bones of a lost science remain. Tech-bases surrounded by forests, outposts in the middle of the night, caves that hide the eyes of the beast, secret bases lost among the trees, etc. This is Biophilia, the fear, the love... to live in eternal darkness.

Wait until the full project is done. It's looking glorious! :D

[VanaheimRanger]

There is also a partial map I've submitted that someone is welcome to claim and finish if they want.

And now people know what the screenshots I posted in the other thread were from ^_^;

[Morpheus666]

We'll release the first version after doing some playtesting looking for bugs, errors and the alike. It usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks after hitting the deadline.

I've really enjoyed mapping for this so far, even though I'm not super knowledgeable in UDMF. The other maps are definitely looking great, and I speak for myself when I say think mine is turning out okay.

[Doom_Dude]

Been having a good time working on my map for this.

 

Remila always digs up snazzy textures to work with, which is a nice change because I tend to not use many custom textures from other sources as I tend to make my own.

[Esperpento]

Wow! It looks astonishing! I can't wait to play it!
