Ar_Winter_Lodge [GameBanana] [Works In Progress]

Progress Report

Completed

Might need a better name.

This is my entry for the [GameBanana Winter Wonderland mapping contest.](http://gamebanana.com/contests/31) I'm currently just at planning / blocking out stage of development, but I'll be sure to update this WiP page like I usually do when some more interesting stuff comes about. I also tried out using a mood board to try and get some ideas flowing, I think it worked rather well.

Update 1 | 21/11/12 ================== - Blocked out the garages - Added detail under the balcony - Messed around with point\_devshot\_camera for way too long. They just don't bloody work properly. Update 2 | 25/11/12 ================== - Added stairs inside house - Textured a load of stuff - Continued to block out house - Added some doors to main house - Added snow to roof - Added fireplace + temp lighting indoors - Tidied up the displacements a bit more Mini Update | 26/11/12 ================== Oh blimey, a frontpage feature, I feel so special :D Update 3 | 28/11/12 ================== - Added some rims around the windows - Fixed up the down stairs doors (they were clipping into the wall) - Added some snow precipitation I can some more of the updates being done like this, tiny things being added every few days when I find a window a time to get some work done. I should hopefully be able to pick up the workflow after the 12th (extended work deadline). Update 4 | 29/11/12 ================== - Tided up blending on some of the displacements and added modulated blending to the rooves for a much better transition between textures (thanks to [Planub](http://gamebanana.com/members/1232395) for the suggestion) - Added sofas, xmas tree and gifts to living space - Added logs, fire and lighting to fireplace - Tided up a bunch of textures - Changed placeholder car props in garage to better ones I should really get to a playable state before anything else... Update 5 | 3/12/12 ================== - Still haven't got to a playable state, I'm a a terrible person - Added smoke to chimney (I'll polish it up at some point) - Textured ceiling - Added ceiling wood beams - Properly textured side of roof - Added some new windows - Slightly edited placeholder lighting - Logs + fire added to other fireplace Update 6 | 4/12/12 ================== - GOT TO A PLAYABLE STATE. 'bout damn time. - Made the bedrooms on either side of the building - Moved the Christmas tree and sofas to adjacent room, also added some other details in there - Added dinner table and chairs to the room where the tree used to be - Made some stairs for the bedrooms - Remade the windows for the bedrooms - Added ceiling beams - Added proper lighting sources to wood beams - Added some mounds of snow outside to use as cover - DID SOME DARN PLAYTESTIN' I also found out that so far (using [RescueTime](https://www.rescuetime.com)), this project has taken me around 12 hours. Not bad progress I'd say... ADDITIONALLY, since I've got this sucker into a playable state now I could do with a few playtesters to give it a good look over. Leave a comment below or message me if your interested! Update 7 | 10/12/12 ================== - Made the garages a bit bigger and added a bunch of details to each of them - Added some brushes under the displacements so proper visleaves could be drawn Got bored, decided to make a .gif with some of the dev screenshots I've got so far.

Update 7 | 10/12/12 ================== - LOTS of stuff - Finished development! Come and get it!

I've got most of the basic geometry down. i'm sort of doing my own CS:S rendition of a map from an older game that isn't CS:S. it's the most progress i've ever made on a map before and it's been pretty fun. learning as i go. > > Good to hear you're enjoying it, I find contests are usually a pretty good motivator for this sort of thing, keeps you on track. Any chance you could post a WiP at some point? Perhaps, once I have made some more progress on it. Although I am kind of fond of the idea of not releasing any real screenshots of it until it's actual release...

> **Posted by Planub** > I think a blend texture + blend modulate would be better for that roof than a displacement on top. I was planning on just adding decals around the displacement, like what I did in my log cabin prefab, but I'll certainly look into doing this now, thanks! > **Posted by GhettoBBunny** > > **Posted by PeterRook** > > > I would most certainly expect who ever uses this prefab(even if it is a house or w.e for CS_ and DE_ maps) to add some Xmas music into it :D > > It's a full map that is in the process of being made. I dont know if giblets would like someone taking it just to add xmas music. That ^ > **Posted by fanerddu** > it's coming along alright.

You're just doing it better than me :P I think most people are gonna end up doing something along the lines of a log cabin / resort surrounded by snow, UNREA1 certainly did.
