Yavin IV: Plateau (released)

Post by acryptozoo »

Hello Gametoast
this is my newest map creation that has been in the works
for quite abit
------------Yavin IV: plateau-----------------
its a map based on yavin iv with a table top mountain in the center wiht a small forest surrouning it and after that vast grasslands sorrounded by moutains and a few warer bodys
small story: imperials land rebels defend :wink:
dosnet feature too much custom stuff except sky,fish and birds
10 cp's so far

Progress:about 60%-90%
map itself:99%
planning: 99.99999999%
nodes: 80%


To do:
add local sides: units done need to make the level
some more props/ cover in the grassland
make landing camp for imps / base on plateau for rebs
mabye add some more cps
other things
ideas? requests? things to add ?

Sides: im with stock for now
idk if ill do custom tho

Beta testing: 1st beta will be out in a couple days,soon hopefully need to get some stuff done, closed

When I read "Yavin" the first thing that popped up in my mind was jungle, then I saw the author of the thread, and zack, I had this one pic in mind where Yavin was inside the atmosphere of Yavin IV. :P

Looks very good and with nice environmental touches.
:thumbs:

Yay for lobster thing btw.

Uhh you have a lot of bloom going on there. Personally it reminds me of screenshots of other games that use tons of bloom to make it look "realistic". Not that it's that bad but I think turning down the bloom a little would actually make the sky look better. Other than that great map!

that looks great!
the mountains in the fourth pic look pretty unnatural having the same hight though.
and you shoudl use a groundtexture with higher resolution, plus you should probably brighten it a bit, it looks kind of unrealistic right now in my opinion.
