dm_tower

hey all...

This is the first HL2DM map ive made that I thought was worth releasing. It's a relatively small map designed for no more than 10 players.

I'm hoping its not too dark... I created that sunset effect almost by accident, and i didn't want to get rid of it.

BTW, those things with the blue beam arcing on them are teleporters. You step in one with a blue beam and you come out on one without a blue beam.

I'd be interested to know what people thought of my first serious attempt.

Simple design, yet very nice looking. The sunset works wonders to bring out a nice look to the map.

Very good for a first. Even for a fifth! Sixth even?

Looks pretty spiffy, but isn't there already a map named dm_tower?

 

[Lord_PackRat]

yeah i think there is... :hmph:

...its a pretty generic name, and i only thought to check after id uploaded the map and posted about it...

the map formerly known as dm_tower...

...eheh... my map's full name is Tower Arena, but i shortened it to dm_tower for simplicity. but seeing there already a few maps out named Tower, i changed it back to Tower Arena.

(PAF need to put the file up first, so it may be a while before that link becomes active...)

a valuable lesson... if your map name sounds generic, google it first.
