After I finished The Harbour I'm working now together with Hamers/NecroPat21 and Jaco_E at the next level.
They'll help me with the FlowGraphs (Hamers), cutscenes (NecroPat21) and the AI navigation (Jaco_E).
The four most important features are the story, the rain scenario, the teamfights and the different gameplay parts.
I have written about 11 pages of dialogs an they all will be synchronised, but only in german with english subtitles.
By comparison - the harbour has only one page.
The map will be played in a big valley with banana plantations in the centre. You start in a cave, before a huge waterfall plunges into the depths of the valley. After leaving the cave, you are in the valley, but you first go separate ways from your team because of a special assignment, but later you regroup in the banana plantations. You will fight alongside Major Cafferty and the Marines under his command. I think it's important that the player has access to a variety of gameplay situations, so there will be a tank battle, and a short stealth mission too.
Rainy Days will not be like a normal singleplayer map, (Which is basically running across the island and killing all the enemies), it would instead be more like my first map ''The Harbour''
It should include something special with the team battles and the rain scenario. There will be nice level design and very good gameplay, unlike other maps where is an awesome amount of Level design, but it does not have any exciting gameplay situations.
In the last weeks we started an alpha test with a few people from Crymod and Crysis-hq.
Most of them are enthused and we got some great feedback to improve the level and fix the bugs.

It's ingenious how they create such an absorbing atmosphere by using the normal assests like palms or banana plantages... The interaction with the NPC's and the world is very dynamically...

I just finished The Harbour, and it was great fun. A little heavy on the enemies, but it was still enjoyable. Can't wait for the next installment, the screenshots are looking great!

Thanks you all for motivating me.
I have one new picture from the beginning...
What do you mean, shall it be misty or is the sun shining picture better?
Sounds really good, i love TheHarbour, really fine map, but please, do me one favor: I guess your german? (Stimmt doch, oder
) Please get someone else for the translation into english, because some of those translations were really ... like OMG
.
BTW: What OS are you using? XP? 32 or 64 Bit? ...

Aw.. i liked the misty one..
Looks more tropical jungle-ish. Well i suppose it depends on the stage of the day, if its set in the morning, to be realistic, you should make it misty.
If its midday > onwards, Sunny.
. Gives the player a nice feel of a cool morning valley.

I use XP 32 Bit.
Hm, the translation... A member named Quickkiller helped me with this.
After he had finished it it was checked by an english motherlanguaged member and he says that its okay.
I'll try to make it better in this map
@ AusViper I planned it exactly vice versa.
At midday it should begin to rain cause of the dramatic in the story.
You some talent, keep it up.
