Sunder - Map20 Appears, finally.

[Insane_Gazebo]

Made some fairly major progress on Map 16 recently and I just remembered I hadn't actually posted these shots here. Whoops!

 

Map is at about 44k lines right now and I've still got a bit to go, detail wise.

 

Map15 is about finished now, minus some final tweaks. That said, multiple attempts to create a reject table to (hopefully) improve performance have failed, but it's a fair way off before I release these maps to everyone here, so I do hope someone with more node/reject table knowledge than me can figure something out. 

 

Map31 is finished gameplay wise, it just needs a few final visual tweaks.

Overwhelmingly artistic

Digging that map31 shot. We are in 2019 and I'm still a sucker for color themed maps heh.

Even with everything else going on in those screenshots, my favorite aspect is actually those incomplete floorboards in the middle shot. They just add so much personality!

 

Also, great use of Otex!

Whoa!  I just noticed that.  Are those...3D floors???

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

No, those are dark wood textured pits. Sunder is a Boom-compatible wad now.

It's just hard to see on my screen.  But yea, I can see it upon closer examination.

Jeepers shit, those screenies.

This colour is beautiful tbqh. Best thing (visually) I've seen in Sunder so far, hands down.

 

So have you replaced the default blue range with the baby blue in the map15 shots and the default green range with this new turquoise? Is the outdoors area of map01 now this colour as well?

Boom compat? So this means I_G can use height transfers to smooth out bumpy floors?????

That's right :D When I changed Sunder's palette originally, it was just to get the blues working nicely in Map15. Turned out that had some changes to the greens as well I wasn't initially aware of, but I think they look really nice and certainly helped give Map31 an interesting feel.

While I probably won't be going back to fix bumpy floors (I'd like to think they're just part of difficulty of my old levels now), I'll probably make bumpy stuff a lot less extreme than I used to. That said, yes, I've been trying to get the hang of Boom features and they've been rather useful so far, so expect to see a few of them. :)

Found that some doors in old maps will close at wrong time and places and make you stuck :(

[Death Egg]

Since that new green replaced the old green I'm curious to see what MAP01 looks like now.

 

Also I remember you mentioning wanting a new monster at one point, is that still on the cards?

[frooben]

Dude don't bother making more difficulties for the babies - just focus on making this the most hardcore mapset for the veterans to grind their teeth on (or keyboards for that matter).

[Nirvana]

I'm doing a testing stream of map 16 if people were interested in seeing what Gazebo has been up to:
 

 

[Nirvana]

And we're going again today!:
 

 

[Insane_Gazebo]

Map 32 (previously Map 17) is almost ready to be tested...

[dobu gabu maru]

Mmmm dunno, looks relatively sane... best thing to do is upload the new maps to us so we can confirm your credentials ;)

[elend]

Finally. Gazebos.

 

Looks gorgeous, albeit a bit dark. But I think that's a vignette around the picture. Hurry up and finish.

HOLY SHIT SUNDER HAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD!

Welcome back from the dead, Insane_Gazebo!

Thanks for the enthusiasm, Glaice. :)

Probably great that you missed some of my earlier screenshot posting - you won't have to wait as long as the others who noticed the original bump :)
(The map I posted a (very dark) shot of is the last map I have in mind before a final polishing pass and release.)

Damn, those are some Insane_Gazebos.

 

I'll see myself out.

[Ribo Zurai]

Question, where will be the stopping point for the wad? Will you attempt to do all 32 of them or is it 17(32?) the end?

This is oddly creepy and unnerving in a sort of "Ghoulzebo's Forest" way.

[DooM5L4Y3R]

Reminds me of a thing I read.

Just a quick bump to show an early shot of Map17 (for those who missed my little mapping streams), and to say the new update should be here very soon!
