Description
A few screens to illustrate some drastic changes I have made to the 'Labwork' chapter. New floor textures, added detail, and a drastic redesign of the structural supports.
The red text on the left scrolls on the holo-screen :P And its all information pertaining to the current situation.
So do you mean these will help you or just kind of tell you "the lab is quarantined due to virus outbreak" ?
Most times you just see random stuff thats unrelated or illegible. If its intended to be of any help to users, you'll want to keep it as a theme and be sure users will know to read them and not bypass them as just *level dressing*.
I wont force the players to stand and read scrolling text to get crucial information. I think that would be annoying after a while. It will be more of an optional thing; mostly because I know some players will stop and read them so I dont want random stuff on there. Players WILL have to pick up the DataTabs to get info, but still not be forced to actually read the info if they just want to speed through the Mod (though it will help with some of the puzzles)
I want this to be flexible for players, because I know some people inherently skip cutscenes, text and anything that stops them from barreling through games like a runaway train. If thats the way they want to play, I will accomodate that while maintaining all the little things and details other players like to have.
Ten times better than previous maps! This is great. :D
Thanks a lot! I was hoping for a vast improvement :) Now, I have to go and rework all the stuff I did in the very early screens, in the engineering areas. The quality of that stuff and this contrasts too much; but it will undoubtably lead to a much higher quality Mod in he end.
this rusty old thing doesnt fit the starwars corridor too much
Nope, and it wont be in the final build, because its actually a pipe from the canals in HL2 that was modified to be a melee weapon :P
This is just stunning.
