I see my sketch papers here hehe :)

How is the learning curve with Alien Swarm SDK so far?

Best of luck in the contest

heh, Everyone should sketch things out, makes things easier later don't you think? Wish more folks around here planned things out. Whiteboard is the overall scheme of things and I've got little black books stored away that have the fine details. Works for me anywho. Been doing it for years -- moreso in building design than game stuff but they intermix nowadays so it's kinda interesting how I'll take game ideas and put them into building designs instead when I'm finished with them.

Learning curve for AS seems to be mainly entity work and finding default content in the archives that I want to replace. Trying to get out of the habit of detailing things too high lol. Need to keep that cut-off. Still, the mapping is pretty much all roughed in, just need details and continue entity work. First area will get an overhaul based once I finish the displacement work elsewhere.

Should be able to complete for deadline.

what is this. i cant read it!

Just a rough outline, not as illegible as my notebook that's for sure. Notebook is essentially all industry shortform notation so it'd look like complete gibberish heh.
