A better video of the rollercoaster

http://www.xfire.com/video/4d5e44/

Additionally the large structure you see is going to be a large building with multiple layers. Partly, is it's going to serve as a vertical haunted house in a part of it, and placed on top are other buildings that serve as ride stations, etc.

The bottom of it serves as the battle area for zombies v humans. I know the mountain sides look terrible, but I promise this place will look awesome by time the map is released. I will work periodically on this area as it isn't an actual enviroment, and won't update the main topic post with info on it until I feel like It is official. Feel free to submit ideas for rides, additions. I have not finalized what will go in yet, so feedback is appreciated.

Nice animation! I must say however, the textures still look pretty bad..(Stretched/tiled). Maybe you could patch those up abit.

Smallish update: http://www.xfire.com/video/4d6ec3/

A walk-through of a Haunted house attempt of mine. Upon uploading the video was when it dawned on me, I should make it a ride and not a walk through, so it will be similiar to the rollercoaster except slow and with things that will pop out at you, plus more fog and other stuff, will lower the rumble effect to make it bearable.

As for the textures mentioned, do you mean my rollercoaster track textures?

I meant the wall/building/mountain textures. It would not be that bad if the rollercoaster got a new reskin also. :)

The design doesn't bring to mind a roller coster for me. It looks like it functions like one in the vid, but I always picture something like this. Lots of support beams, gracefully curving track, etc., and a coaster like a chain of carts rather than a boat.

Perhaps this will be somewhat more comfortable..

That looks a lot better, though whatever you're riding appears to be at different heights off the tracks at various points.

Why is the texture so stretched on so many objects? I kind of feel like I'm poking and prodding a bit too much, but still, the question stands. Sorry about it.

Some progress...

The new (WIP) HUD display.

Going for a theme that unifies with pre-existing styles of the map.
Hidden/Spoiler:
New Health-Ammo pickup

Image

Ammo
Image

Health
Image

Drain (depletes all energy, minimal harm to health)
Image

Poison(harms health over time)
Image

Death(instant kill)
Image


Adrenaline needle(supplies health over 15 seconds and fills energy bar)
Image
Aiming for release before Halloween.

-Edit- I've already changed the hud but feel free to comment and suggest on how to improve it.

Perhaps you could remove the bikini-wearing stick-armed torus-headed...ah, person? It doesn't seem to fit very well, and as a HUD object it doesn't really support the health/stamina bar.
