UTMC - Derelict Space Castle - Submerged Ruins

Conpatshe

Hey guys

Here are my 3 initial thumbs for my entry.

My idea is a space castle which has fallen from orbit and crash landed in this eerie marshland, which has began to claim the castle.

Nice work man, the first one really has that Unreal Tournament feel to me.

Thanks alot! After re-evaluating my approach, I've found I'm going to look at capturing the theme a bit more rather than the level itself. I've developed more thumbnails and the larger one here with the larger one being my personal choice

starting work on colours a bit here

An update on colours and some development.

I've taken away the random shapes that were meant to be debris, I had trouble trying to make them read as debris. I've also added in a figure to try and sell the scale.

Damn, that really jumped up a few notches, looking good so far.

Thanks a bunch James, really apprecaite it!

Now I'm back with another update, I've added in a second building, and tried to make the second one a sort-of sniper tower where the player can cross that bridge connecting the two. Though this means the other crashed part would need to be a bit more open plan to justify it. I've also removed the river as I didn't think it was reading quite as well as I'd hoped

Great sense of depth, looking great.

Hey Spig, Thanks alot man, this task has really tested my ability in that regard.

Here is another update, I really enjoy telling a story in my pieces, I've added in another figure to be a hunter. Following this fellow who has discovered this crashed facility. Aswell as tweaked the facility itself
