What’s up Stevie !!! (March 2013)

English

  • Mapping,

Since the release of CTF-Mako on January 1, 2013, I started a DM from the same textures and in terms of geometry, I was inspired by a DM map for UT99. As for the visuals and sounds, it looks a bit like CTF-Mako, just a bit because this time, it is a night theme instead of a day and the lighting is completely different. I have other ideas for other maps but unfortunately I do not have enough time 😦 Note: there are also several UOF projects coming that I can not talk about at the moment :p

  • Stevie’s corner site,

I have added or upgraded many links in the following sections ‘News / forums’, ‘Level Design’ and ‘Reviews’ on the main page and then finally added new categories to better organize my publications wishing in is easier to find information by my visitors 😀

  • In the UT3 world,

I note that despite several recent publications like the CBP3 vol. 5, the beta Jailbreak Mod pack, several VCTF maps as well as some UT200x DM remakes, forums are almost empty of comments despite there are hundreds of views ? This is very discouraging for mappers. Although we build maps for us at first, it is important to get the community support, otherwise it does absolutely nothing to publish anything on a forum if no one share their comment ! Players, it takes 10 seconds to write something constructive while we, the mappers, take us months to build a quality map. So comment if you want to download other maps in the future ! Do not wait until the forums are empty before doing it 😉

  • In the UDK world,

Although a little slow the past few weeks, very interesting projects continue to appear on the Epic and Polycount forums. I am amazed to see so many quality projects. This is absolutely wonderful !

  • Me,

I have been hospitalized in recent weeks for health reasons. It’s much better now and everything should be back to normal in ±1 month.

  • Mapping,

Depuis la publication de CTF-Mako le 1er janvier 2013, j’ai débuté une DM à partir des mêmes textures puis en terme de géométrie, je me suis inspiré d’une DM map de UT99. Au niveau du visuel puis du son, ça ressemble un peu à CTF-Mako, un peu car cette fois, il s’agit d’un thème de nuit au lieu du jour puis l’éclairage est complètement différent.

J’ai aussi d’autres idées pour d’autres maps mais malheureusement, le temps me manque 😦 Il y a aussi plusieurs projets UOF à venir dont je ne peux divulguer pour le moment :p

  • Site,

J’ai ajouté ou mis à niveau de nombreux liens sous la section ‘News / forums’, ‘Level design’ ainsi que ‘Reviews’ sur la page principale puis finalement ajouté de nouvelles catégories pour mieux organiser mes publications. En espérant que l’information soit plus facile à trouver pour mes visiteurs 😀

  • Le monde d’UT3,

Je constate que malgré plusieurs publications récentes comme le CBP3 vol. 5, le beta pack du Mod Jailbreak, plusieurs maps de type VCTF ainsi que quelques remakes DM de UT200x, les forums sont pratiquement vides de commentaire malgré qu’il y a des centaines de vues ? Cela est très décourageant pour les mappers. Bien que nous bâtissons les maps pour nous à prime abord, il est important d’avoir du support par la communauté, sinon, ça ne sert absolument à rien de publier quoi que ce soit sur un forum si personne ne partage leur commentaire ! Joueurs ; ça prend 10 secondes à écrire quelque chose de constructif et d’aidant alors que nous, ça nous prends des mois à construire une map de qualité. Alors, commentez si vous voulez poursuivre à télécharger d’autres maps ! N’attendez pas que les forums soient vides avant de le faire 😉

  • Le monde d’UDK,

Quoique un peu au ralenti depuis les dernières semaines, des projets des plus intéressant continuent d’apparaître sur les forums d’Epic puis de Polycount. Je suis tout-à-fait émerveillé de voir autant de projets de qualité. C’est absolument merveilleux !

  • Moi,

J’ai été hospitalisé dans les dernières semaines pour des raisons de santé. Ça va beaucoup mieux maintenant puis le tout devrait être revenu à la normale dans ±1 mois.
