Title: gm_theisland
Post by: jimonions on March 22, 2011, 05:59:58 PM
For the sake of releasing another map and improving on something I did way back I have decided to redo my island map from scratch. The old one failed in all the areas that I was going for. It also gave me a chance to try out my palm tree model

completely noded + strider nodes
maximum map size available for hammer
1 island, maybe adding 1 more
-----
2 islands
3d scrolling clouds

look out for more updates

Shit, son... that's NICE.
You should make a slightly smaller one, then modify it for TTT :>
Like, add a few huts, a watch tower, and an underground base or something. Would be perfect.

Not really, but just not detailed enough. (Very few weapons/ammo/only a lighthouse and a few houses/etc.)

Doesn't Japan have different child labor laws?

Even in most US states, it's legal to work if you're 14 or older.

Who gives a shit? His portfolio is better than most "professional" mappers today.

Just because he has talent, doesn't mean he can go apply for a job in that category.
You still need qualifications, no matter what you do.
