DESCRIPTION
I used the PlanetPhillip Hunterville competition as a means to maintain my mapping skills, and also because I really like mapping for singleplayer. I never submitted it because I didn't finish it in time, but for as much work as I put into it, I think it still deserves recognition.
The idea was to have the player work their way up an office tower where on the top would take place a large boss battle and a narrow escape via helicopter. A visual vista of the surrounding city would reward the player as they battled their way up the tower. The challenge was to develop enough of a scene for a vista and to make it appear vast without loosing performance.
The level was designed for play in the Source Engine in the Half-Life 2: Episode Two game.
