Subway UT3 Map

[sarge mat]

Hey guys
I am just posting an update on the map I have made a good bit of progress with it and made some models and textures for it. BUT I am not happy with how it’s looking or playing, so I am more or less going to strip back and start again. I learnt a lot while I was developing what I did and it’s taught me a lot more about level design.

I am really looking forward to ripping it out and making something a lot better, some things had just not been nailed down at the start and where really effecting how the map played.

So I will post an update on how it’s coming sometime in the next few weeks.

hey sarge, sometimes is better to just start over....you've seen my map, how it was before...sometimes we just need to see things with fresh eyes. good luck and don't give up...
looking foward to see your updates.

Yeah sometimes I do that. I would often take a few looks at some concepts or some reference shots and ... well ... wing it, really.

I think modelling things directly from reference is the best way to get things looking right. Don't take my method lol

Were you worried about the size/gameplay of it. I thought from the shots provided it looked a little small. Maybe better for DM/TDM.

Looking great though. I'm assuming you will keep the textures/assets

It was too small and yet too big at times. I found there was just no room really to run around much and not enough different areas. The new concept I am going for has a lot more space to play with and divides the level up a lot better.

I should point out, the train and bench in the screens I posted where ones that shipped with unreal it’s self. I have a nice wall and ground texture that I made myself that I will most likely carry over and use. I made some models which are fine and just need some texture work done to improve them so I think I will totally re-texture them.
