Notice: Because the deadline is the 15th I'm afraid I won't have enough time to make the map as high quality as I'd like. So if there is a room that seems just plain in some places, you know why.


I'm making this post in regards to this. In this post you can check on the progress of my 'Christmas at the Academy' map. I’ll update it as much as I can with news and screenies. Comments and criticism are welcomed.

Notice: Chances are, I will have updated the rooms in the pictures and things will have changed, even if just a little bit.


Enjoi the pictures! And again, criticism is welcomed, it is a competition after all. :)

And as far as patches go. I haven't had much experience with them, but Virtue said he might try and make me a tree. :P

Update!

NOTE: As you can plainly tell, there is a palm tree in the inner hallway. Obviously that's supposed to be a christmas tree. But, until/if I (virtue is also helping me) can find a christmas tree model I have the palm tree there just to show, like, where the christmas tree is supposed to be. And if we can't find a christmas tree model I'll have to take that part out.

I may have been playing Ocarina of Time too much, but it does vaguely remind me of the entrance to some Zelda dungeon :P

Wow :eek: looks great Pinkster :D Snow!! Really like the central building/gazeebo thing, with the chrimbo lights, very swish. Can't wait to see more :)

Critisism wise i can't think of much, but some of the areas around the stairs and ramps look a little empty, like they need grass or something there just to make it look more interesting, not sure. To think of anything else would just be nitpicking, and i'm sure you are already planning to add to this, after all this is the 'first draft', goodluck with it dude!


Planning on adding? Or already added? ;)

Glad you like it. :D

Tip of the day xD:
To make snow, and to make it not to fall everywhere (like not in buildings) make brushes, with system/weather texture applied to it, and in each of those brushes put fx_snow


And thanks for the tip. But I have my own method. ;)
