Coming Soon - Arena_Paradise

[Balmung]

After my several successes of My first Map Arena_IronGrid, and my Watchtower Retexture, As well as other several half-done maps, I'm going to be putting in all my efforts into this new map

What is the map?

The map will be Arena_Paradise, based on a tropical island setting in a remote part of the world.

The idea concept itself came from a good friend of mine webmessia, and this map production wouldn't be possible without him,

What are we likely to see on the map?

The map is going to consist of 3 main islands, On the middle island will be a control point with spawns on the other two main islands.

The map will be using mainly the Egypt Textures and models.

I'm also deciding whether to add an under ground section between the two span islands and the CP island to increase the actual walkable space.

In addition to this will be water, lots and lots of lovely water. But don't swim too far out into that deep blue yonder, Or that nasty Hurt Trigger will come for you.

When is the map likely to be finished?

Considering I've got no school until september, I should be able to focus alot fo time on the map, You can expect is by at most the end of June, I know thats a long time for a map, But I've still got several exams I need to study for.

I'll update with screenshots as the map starts to take place.

If anyones got any ideas I'd love to incorporate them in some way.

Tip:

Never post a thread when you just started it

Especially when you don't have ANY content to show.

It crashed when I tried to load it in game >_< I'll take another time.

And It doesn't matter if I have screenshots or not right now.

We need POC

And we need a good first impression. Coming back to my hint:

post shitty pictures = lost first impression -> nobody cares any more

Hey Yo, Topic for my map, Take arguments elsewhere.

[Heinix]

Nice map! looks awesume!

[Balmung]

Seems you guys have trouble understanding English. "Coming Soon" as in, I's not made yet, I'd love to post a picture of a skybox, water and a spawn room, OR I could wait until I can take bitter pictures and post them. Now Hush yer gums.

[EmRA]

You post "Coming Soon" when you have pics.

[BlueYoshi97]

Why do you complain about pictures, he already said he can't make images of how the map will look like in the end because he didn't finish it yet. That's why he explains how it will look like.

[EmRA]

No, I'm saying he should have pictures before he makes a topic about it.

[Balmung]

No, I'm saying he should have pictures before he makes a topic about it.

When people first start making a film, they don't bring out trailers because they haven't filmed any of yet. Same applies here. So EmRA Stop being a faggot to me about in TF2, on steam and here. :/

[The Lazy Peon]

I like this idea- lots of palm trees would be nice.

Also, be sure not to have TOO much water. Some would be an excellent change, whereas too much will break up the fighting to much.

I love the idea though, and let's stop arguing and let the man go to work.

I agree with Emra

Movies =/= Mapping

You can get the idea with a movie. But we don't know anything about how you map. We know something of a movie. And movies have trailers? And even then, they just announce them. Not posting any info on it.

There is actually a tropical tf2 map there> http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=53250

Have a look at it and make original things to not fall in the déja vu.

I've played that map. It's simple, but fun for a while.

Well good thing An Arena map is only 20 minutes in a cycle. :/

Now either say something constructive or

I think it's a good idea Balmung.

Boter and EmRA, if you're going to complain that much just leave the topic and don't look back, you're only wasting your time fighting a battle not worth taking part in, because at the end of the day, you're both entitled to opinions and fighting over opinions is stupid.

Back to the map, I very rarely play the TF2 servers, but I might come on a few times to play some maps, this one sounds quite good

I'll be interested to see how this turns out, as there arent any maps on the current arena mapcycle which are like this.

GET MAPPIN' SON.

[Firehawk]

We dont need pictures to see, right now. it's still in construction. and besides... the discription tells us alot of the map how it is going to be. and it gives enough impression to look at this topic several times

anyway, Good Luck.

EDIT: put: STAY TUNED. on the end of the discription people will visit this more times

[TheGreenGrasshopper]

I can kinda imagine the map, in my head, which is not yours lol.

I'll only say good luck in not quiting before it's finished

[Balmung]

Progress is pretty slow. Hammers throwing serveral fits. But It'll get there.

[CyriusG]

Can't wait for an update because this seems like a fun map just by reading about it!
