Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

First, floating mosques were my attempt to deal with what is a rather obnoxious clich� in games � which is floating castles. Every game has a floating castle. You know, I really hate that!

Allahu Akbar.

I like the last one. I don't think they feel too quakey.

Nice

I'd say they're more Drake than Quake - but that's cool as well.

Would Definitely Play

Maybe It's Just Bler's Mom?

By considering the observational constraints on dust clumps orbiting a normal main-sequence
star, we conclude that the scenario most consistent with the data in hand is the passage of
a family of exocomet fragments, all of which are associated with a single previous breakup
event.

Burning With A Blue Flame

#2926 posted by primal on 2015/10/20 20:02:57

There was talk about blue lava in another thread. While such things probably don't exist, there is a volcano in Indonesia that comes close.

The blue color comes from burning sulfur. And there's your justification for putting blue flames into your maps now.
