My Assignment: Create an Unreal Tournament level!

That's right, an assignment I just got requires me to create a level on Unreal Tournament's Unreal Development Kit! :D

I need to make a simple 1v1 DeathMatch map. "Simple" means no skins or backgrounds at this stage, but I might get them later on my own.

The map I'm making will be inspired by Bionicle's Karda Nui. Players will fly around upside-down cones (stalactite villages) on Cicada vehicles (Rockoh/Jetrax). One cone will have a cave (Mutran's lab) which will contain a few good powerups, but (if possible) the wall above the cave entrance can be shot, causing a cave-in, and unless the player inside the cave can shoot his way out in time, he'll suffocate. At this stage there'll be no Codrex, but I might add one later on my own. I'm also undecided at this stage whether the swamp floor will contain poisonous water or a kill level (ie. you die if you fall down to a certain level). It'll probably be the latter because it's meant to be simple.




Which variant of Unreal Tournament? I got #4, Black edition when I went to an Unreal map camp.

Unreal 3 I think.

:kaukau: I used to have the original Unreal Tournament, and it was hands-down the most entertaining and engaging shoot'em-up I've ever played. I looked at bits from the newer versions and I don't like the reimagined versions as much, or at least for the more sci-fi concepts.

Too bad I lost the game in a flood. It was one of my favorite games on Dreamcast. One of these days I will get it back off of eBay or something.

I still have the original right here! :D

Apparently Epic was giving them away for free at one point or something.
I've been meaning to try out the Kit, is it any good? Looks pretty good.
When I saw the entry title, I was expecting to see that you wanted to do a Bionicle-based level. And thinking you might ask for suggestions, Karda Nui was the first thing to pop into my head. Hope it turns out good!
Hey M_o_O, it's me!

Your friend Waffles, and I'm back! =)

Also I can't wait to see your level. You should take screenshots.
Are you planning to make the map additively or subtractively?

Not sure what you mean. I've only just started using UDK.
