Title: [WIP] [SHOWOFF] Distraught Forest
Post by: Bartons on November 06, 2011, 10:59:47 pm
This project is part of the Maruum Project (http://modcraft.io/viewforum.php?f=69).

Hey everyone, just thought I'd share what I've been working on for the past couple days. New zone named "Distraught Forest".

I'll update this post as I progress. What are your thoughts on my style of world building?

I never played WoW much so I probably can't tell but...didn't you just rename Elwynn Forest?
If so, excellent trolling attempt, go check out MMOwned, it will totaly work there.

I'm actually pretty satisfied that I got that response from you.

No, I didn't rename Elwynn Forest. LOL! I'm not trolling.

EDIT :

Hopefully, Steff will allow me to use this map with Maruum!

Oh...in that case: pretty damn blizzlike :D I like it
But seriously...this wouldn't have been the first time somebody took screens from actual WoW content and tried to pass it as their own.

Haha, I've seen that done before. Especially on the old MMOwned.

Just make an claim post at the Maruum forum. Perhaps you have already some space in mind from the map.

Here is an overview of the world maps.

I also though that it's just edited Elwynn Forest :P Looks like you really know what are you doing, keep it up!

Looks really nice.

I can clearly see that it's not Elwynn, but for the untrained eye, you could definitelly pass this for Blizzards own updated Elwynn forest.

I have to say it does look a lot like Elwynn, the only thing that made me do a double-take and go haaang on a minute was the ground clutter over the paths - Brilliant job man, this looks awesome :D

Thank you for all the positive feedback guys. It really drives me forward in map making.

I've been creating maps with map editing engines for years, since Starcraft + Starcraft Brood War days. I really have a passion for creating content.

Of course, none of this would at all be possible without the hard work from everyone on the Noggit developers staff. Thank you all very, very much.

Looks really good and detailed :D

Jack you can clearly see that it is a rather small area as the timberline can be seen in the screens^^
How big is that? and be sure to work on the whole adt to make it implementable.

Keep goin' !

This ADT is finished. I'm working on another ADT now. The new ADT I'm working on is a forest-to-coastline ADT.

I meen we can integrat them into the repository and you can upp them if you did some work. So we cann all meet there and have a look at the current working progress and you have always backups of your work in different states.
