Canticum Tenebrae [Custom Story]

I advise you to not update it this constantly. If you post this much every time you do a single room, you'll loose more time posting threads than building the mod itself.

While the lighting does look alot more impressive that way, make sure the Alphas for the lights with "Cast Shadows" are set to "0". And you don't have multiple "Cast Shadow" lights casting on the same object(s).
If you want to keep the FPs reasonable moderate.

I've not shown you most of the maps, there's already about 7/8 (I keep removing etc and making new ones), trust me, this is whenever I feel the need.

Cheers for that - does help FPS.

i sort of agree, but some actually have the whole story set in their mind, and just need something ''PHYSICAL'' to have to actually mold their story into place. i work the same way, i had a kickass idea for a story, and i just started building maps of the stuff on the top of my mind, and developed the story from there. the stories might be detailed, and some people just work better with physical assets before story.

Most of the backstory is located within the fifth level (Which will easily take up most of the time) anyway, and the rest of the story you experience as you enter each zone.

You were sort of right! I have the entire story actually wrote down in a small microsoft word document (Only a few thousand words) with the differing choices. I just haven't scripted much of what you can actually experience in - I prefer to know where I'm going to put some note or flashback or scripted sequence/observations etc.

Nearly finished with the mapping: Cathedral that I'm creating is gigantic. Probably the greatest thing I've made so far and definitely the biggest. Updated main post and may be adding another dev blog soon.

[Robosprog]

Postponed temporarily - creating a smaller project to get a better idea of how to do something here. May be postponed for a couple of months as I feel I'm not doing the Cathedral justice, expect other projects from me however.

Ressurecting this so people can have a laugh at my awful skills back then.

Haha, this thread was so childish and idiotic from me. It's a good way of showing new mappers how far you can come in a couple of months though. Obviously this isn't postponed any more but dead.

Please tell me that that first screenshot is stretched, and the actual thing didn't look like that D:
