Alien Resurrection

[Puritan]

Taken from DNR:

As promised in another thread I'm in the development of yet another map in the Alien quadrilogy.
Nostromo was my first attempt to recreate this wonderful movie series for Duke 3D.

I decided to drop remaking the second movie,Aliens, because I think this movie has been used in Duke 3D maps just enough.

The third movie, Alien 3, is on my drawing table for now. I have to stroll in circles around my table for a while trying to figure out how to make a Duke 3D recreation appear playable...

This time I decided to start off with Alien Resurrection where the scientist pestered the Aliens captured inside the tube with freezing gas just one time to much.....


***

A side note:

Alien Resurrection takes place on the largest starship in the Alien quadrilogy; The USM Auriga.

(I know some of you already are thinking  : Oh no, don't let this su*@%" start up yet another huge level!)

Don't worry friends; I'll keep it within the limits of Mapster32 

(Merlijn: I wont forget the underwater part  ).

From the docking bay area:

Inside the  build (1024 sect,4096 sprites) or mapster limits (4096 sectors,16000 sprites ) ?   

A huge level does'nt suck if it's deserved by a good gameplay.But 'its true than usually huge levels are borin' because player is usually lost 

[Puritan]

I'm close to 2000 sectors by now 

[Forge]

I like huge levels with lots of exploring. Far from boring for me.

I just don't like it when you throw a switch on one side of the map and have to figure out that it was one of a hundred doors clear on the other side of the map that opened, then having to do that back and forth with no clues.

[Merlijn]

I agree. I just played Roch Island again and while it looks great, it suffers exactly from that problem.
Anyway, looking forward to this map, the screenshots look good.

From my old Duke's carreer which i've waste spent a lot of afternoon from my lifetime,i can say than the worst is :

_A maze of streets whith just stupid buildings,no detailed.

The average is :
_A stupid gameplay with f****ing stupids switchs.

The better is
_Roch serie   

So pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease Puritan...do not fall on the "stupid switchs" vortex.
That cancelled a lot of my games 

PS : french mappers are the best 

[Puritan]

As you might know, this is a map that is heavily inspired of the fourth Alien movie...


No streets. No low-detailed buildings. No Roch sprite work copycat action . No switch hunt.


Just my attempt to re-create the locations/ gameplay from the spaceship USM Auriga

[Arghantyl]

Well,i hope you will make the deal 


To help you,i have played a long time ago a mod which contains "aliens" creatures art from the movie.
I think you gotta throw a look on,it could be amazing for a mod.
I can attach the files if you want   

[Puritan]

Thanks but no thanks.
You are referring to Devastators map maybe?


This time it will be a vanilla map.
The precursor had lots of sounds from the original movie.

[Arghantyl]

No,i meaned creatures from the movie.The creatures art were goods but the mod suffers from poor maps and stupid boss remakes.

But it's ok,just do not be touched  by the stupidae switchas sickness

Time for a small update of work in progress:


An intersection in the reactor area of USM Auriga





Lower cargo bay area:

Nice texturing and trimwork

[Helixirr]

The second pic is the best one. Consistent texturing, trimwork & design. Have to agree with Forge.

More screenshots, please! 

[Arghantyl]

Do not make more screenshots.

Who knows my anger when someone  waste my pleasure to play a such great map

Still planning to release it before christmas?
