Here it is!

No it's not the final map. But it's an update! And that's a start.

For those that don't remember, myself and my team of two others at Odd Man Out Studios have been working on an Unreal Tournament 3 map. The map is a remake of Halo 3's Valhalla.

So we've got a rough draft of the base done and work on the terrain has begun. I've almost got the entire lake-side base's terrain complete and placeholder rocks and trees have been put in place to help get a better feel for the level. So, without further adieu here's is an early Pre-Alpha screenshot from our vCTF-Valhalla.



Yeah it's rough I know. There aren't any terrain textures or base textures and all of the rocks look like crap. I know. All of that will be put in there, no need to worry. As it stands, we're looking at making the map playable by the end of the week. Which means, textures and meshes may not be final yet, but the flags will be in place and some very rudimentary bot paths will be implemented to make the map "Playable" on its very basic level.

From there we put in the textures and the correct meshes and start tweaking the bot paths. Once it looks presentable we'll release it as a Beta and, from there, any bugs that are found will be fixed and any tweaks that need to be made will be.

So there you have it! Keep your eyes peeled for another update in the next few days, or if you'd like to see a daily update on progress you can sign up on our forums and check out the "Official Projects" section.
