I made this map while bored a few days ago. My inspiration was a TWHL Rooms entry i remembered.
When i started mapping i first made a large open map, but that wasnt quite interesting. So i closed it up a bit and added a fountain/sounds.
The grass sounds like snow, but what the heck
Made in ~8 hours with bug testing. Hope you enjoy it.
Credits to Raver for fountain and inspiration.
Ive first started with a "Viking 8" project im still working on with similar layout / looks. From it i pulled out the base for this map than expanded it.
I liked the idea of the design in the Rooms project thats why i made mine map this way. I dont remember did i extract the fountain or made it my self, since i started viking 8 project 3 years ago (kinda semi very dead project, didnt progress much since than).
So to answer the question shortly, no the map wasn't made by any one else but me. It only looks similar.
Cant remember how did i get the textures either since i created a viking 8 wad.
And thanks Captain T
Excellent work pulling off the dojo theme! a couple ideas for improvement:
-reduce the scale of the main fountain, and give the bottom of it a more cylindrical shape, or add some more trims to it to make it a little fancier, considering it's the centerpiece of the map.
-fix the wood textures grain, so it faces the right direction on your planks(simply click on the edge of the board and then alt+apply the texture and it should line up perfectly every time)
-lighting is fine, but it would be nice to see more contrast in the map by having some of the darker areas a bit darker, and maybe add some variation in the color on the interiors or something(i know it's a small map)
anyhoo really nice map, 4 stars.
