[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Jungle Gym:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][Note: The whole hurricane gimmick expanded upon in the W.I.P. is entirely optional][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] There's a bit more grandiloquence going on in the W.I.P. thread, but what Jungle Gym is in basic is an automated ecological research facility, not quite derelict but undisturbed. Though built and maintained by researching humans, they only ever interact with Jungle Gym at its periphery, delicately gleaning information by the various bits of measuring equipment hidden throughout. An eye-contact-avoiding relationship like a zookeeper might have with the predators he looks after. But when seized as an arena for the unreal tournament, this precaution in a predators enclosure analogy becomes even stronger. Elaboration on ideas not captured in the more highly finished images can be found in the thumbnails following them.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]1. Measuring equipment failing to disguise itself as the branches and knots of a tree. Half garden half jungle.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]2. A whirring electrical box painted in camouflage to its surroundings. Power supply to the cloud positioning fans behind it. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]3. Air vents between the stalactite ceiling of a cave.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]4. Contrived rock formations too ideal to occur naturally such as those seen in polar [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]bear enclosures and fish tanks alike. [/FONT]

Good idea. Already made a summary post in my own thread so I can have something that I can access quickly.

Here is my (what I wish would be a) submission in case anyone cares. :P

Here's the summary of my work/concept, it portrays an old highrise industrial facility built in the middle of a big city.

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Obsolete[/FONT]

WIP

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]Obsolete would be a map set on a cluster of garbage propelled into a decaying orbit around a cooling sun (hopefully this dim sun could also serve to soften the light on metal reflection). Entirely automated, Obsolete would also probably fall within the derelict facility set as newly produced Liandri compacting equipment cube and stack bricks of outdated or otherwise irreparable equipment (mining machinery, tournament causalities, etc.), lifting off, as would be seen in the skybox, just as the metal of these moon-sized cubes start to glow from the heat.

1. Of the structured side of Obsolete. Trenches; a place for flak cannon spawns. Possibility of crane arms adding and repositioning cubes, an evolving maze.

2. Demonstration of crane functionality. A platform in the air, an obstacle on the ground.

3. An industrial sized garbage disposal. Whirring sparks when parts or Liandri are dropped in, blood for everyone else.

4. The end of a scrap conveyor belt, a waterfall dropping from the structured side of Obsolete, back into the unstructured. A semi-sentient crane pecking over scrap piles on the right, sifting with its beak for Liandri carrion.

5. A show of all the colors and textures of a scrapyard. Brass dunes of spent rifle casings. Jagged, unrefined plates of mining equipment. Color:

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]zinc/cobalt = blue[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] brass = yellow/green[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] copper = brown/orange/red[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif] steel = white/black '[/FONT]

6. A metal forest made of magnet cranes picking for magnetic material over hillocks of scrap.

Gonna go ahead and post my stuff here too. Hopefully they sort out the early submission issue soon!

Three shots from my level, which is based what was once a robust factory which harvested heat from active volcano runoff. Now it's starting to fall apart, and you have to fight amidst the chaos. First image is the level entry point and the one area that's still somewhat operational. Second and third show the chaotic journey through the rest of the level, which is full of environmental hazards- such as the out of control trains that pass by on the rails constantly, not to mention piping hot magma spouts.

FirebornForm · Aug 2014

Just keep posting stuff here, to make it easy for a "Pseudo" mod I'll just make a giant font saying the deadline is over when the time actually hits. Don't worry guys I know when the deadline actually is and I'll be watching the clock.

1 and a half hours left!

UTMC - Jawbreaker

Not as polished as my other submissions, I still feel Jawbreaker's concept is concise enough to still be appreciated. WIP.

jcheongart · Aug 2014

Wonder why it was closed early? Haven't had much time but here's what I got.

Ashenwraith · Aug 2014

Ran out of time!

Only had a few hours:

FirebornForm · Aug 2014

ferndogg001 · Aug 2014

so was the contest closed early... well anyways, heres my submission.

The Paragorn IV mining station on the moon of Augustus has been nonoperational for a few years now. The Liandri location scout in the sector took full advantage and purchased the location knowing that it would be a great addition for the tournament.

My concept has the bridges moving up and down while Pods carrying players zoom by from side to side.

While I comb through the forum for finals people failed to submit or couldn't due to the mistake here's some more.

and I think thats EVERYONE! I went through the whole forum and tried to leave no one left out. A lot of people might have forgotten to submit and maybe im "Doing their job for them babysitting" but well. I want to see everyone get their shot, even if it means more competition.

I couldn't post either:

We don't because the forum mods and people at Epic are sleeping but we'll do our best to make sure it counts.

I'm basically counting the clock, and being the unofficial judge for this thread.

10 MINUTES LEFT until the actual deadline.

Gharkash · Aug 2014

Thank you for your work man.

ferndogg001 · Aug 2014

Thanks Fireborn and everyone else that is keeping the thread alive.... hope it counts.

FirebornForm · Aug 2014

THE DEADLINE IS OVER.

No more submissions past this point are going to count! Even though we're running this unofficially, we still want to abide by the rules.

If you want to share your concept with the community after the deadilne is over, well it won't count for the contest but people would love to see new concepts over on the official UT forums in the environment art section.

Yeah, thanks for keeping time Fireborn, hopefully Polycount recognizes these submissions I know we've all worked hard and now that it's over, we can FINALLY take some time to appreciate what everyone else has done in this final week whirlwind!

FirebornForm · Aug 2014

Totally, there was some really awesome stuff people squeezed in at the last second. Things like that are always a given in contest deadlines but still really surprising results in some cases
