Story / Histoire

Some time ago, explorers discovered that the inhabitants of this small island are mysteriously missing? The population has vanished leaving no clue, no message, no trace? Nobody has any answer, it is to believe that all the inhabitants have been removed by a unknown superior force, by Aliens perhaps? Welcome to Aly…

Il y a quelque temps, des explorateurs ont découvert que les habitants de cette petite île sont mystérieusement disparus? La population s’est volatilisée ne laissant aucun indice, aucun message, aucune trace? Personne n’a de réponse, c’est à croire que tous les habitants ont été enlevées pas une force supérieure inconnue, par des Aliens peut-être? Bienvenue à Aly…

Details

A remake of my DM-Aly Second Edition for UT3. I’ve made what I could to optimize the level. This is what as been done :

  • All decals, particles are visible only in ‘high’ mode.
  • All hidden surfaces is using the stock ‘RemoveSurfaceMaterial’ to reduce memory usage.
  • Landscape hidden areas have been set invisible.
  • Manually fixed culling values on many, many meshes so they won’t be rendered if they aren’t visible to the camera.
  • Many meshes as been merged together. Doing this make the level file larger BUT provide much more FPS reducing draw calls. I also made 1 to 4 additional LODs for each meshes (imported and/or merged).

Note, for all my levels I use Temporal AA since it offers the best visuals.

  8. Steve…great map, thank you! I loved the heck out of your UT3 version (and all of your other maps!) and this one is equally good. It’s a shame that the low amount of feedback is demotivating, but the few of us that are here really appreciate your work. Thanks again!!

  9. Great work ! Awesome map. A little heavy on the resources, but I can’t bring myself to lower the post-processing settings. It’s too beautiful.

  17. Wow….now it works without any problems….(?)
    Anyway, still playing your UT4-maps in alphabetical order.
    Until now this is my fav.
    I like these kinds of environments with these unpolished meshes and textures….
