Lethal Stigma is a multiplayer role-playing first-person shooter for the Source engine. Taking place in the Half-Life 2 universe, LS immerses the player in a familiar world with four exciting gamemodes and a boatload of unique features.
Some initial screenshots of Lethal Stigma's default map selection. All of them with the exception of ls_ravine (which is of my own creation) are legally edited and recompiled versions of HL2 or HL2DM maps whose VMFs are available to anyone who owns a Source game on Steam via Source SDK. This is because I'm the only one working on this project at the moment. I'm aware this isn't the best policy to be taking, but I can assure you that each map is just as fun as the next and work quite well with Lethal Stigma as far as I can tell.
Are you modifying the original DM maps while making your own?
Indeed, that is what I plan to do. I'm not a fantastic mapper, but I'm also not a ****** one, so I'd rather modify some HL2 and HL2DM maps (legally of course, as the ones I am editing are freely available in Source SDK) while creating my own at the same time to ensure there are plenty of maps for people to enjoy before the first public beta release.
Brilliant!
Please make it so the maps are heavily modified, to the point where you can hardly recognize em :D
Hehe, yeah, I plan to do that for future releases. Initially though they will probably remain the way they look in these screenshots mostly just for the private beta, but I'll strive to make improvements and alterations to the maps as I get more suggestions coming in to match Lethal Stigma's fast-paced gameplay.
