Dude, a Blade Runner map done right would kick some serious ass.
Looks sweet Mr.

Someone sugested that the buildings in the map and 3d box had a function like a mall, office etc. I agree 100%
If your are going for that dark look, may I suggest that you take a look at the movie "Blade Runner"

Just saw the new pics. Looks really good. Get some nice custom texturing in there (or make a new set from HL2 textures. that's always fun) and get it finished! Nice work.

I just tried it out and it looks quite monumental. It's still hard to imagine what it will look like in the final version. It seems to be quite texture-reliant so make sure you don't underestimate that part (I only see orange room textures yet)!
The layout looks very fluent. Maybe too fluent for my taste, it feels more like a Quake 3 map than a HL2 one in the middle areas. But that's just a matter of taste I guess
One more thing about the "cloud city" theme. I found it hard to really see "clouds" in the foggy area on the ground. Maybe if you open up the skybox more, so you could see larger parts of the horizon and how high you actually are this could help to establish the "high in the clouds" theme more!
Anyways, it already looks very promising!

Cool stuff man, I'll try and get around to taking a look in the next few drunken/hungover days

If you're wondering about flying vehicles in the 3D skybox you can try and figure out how they did it in the newest DoD:Source map.
Also -- it's looking really nice man. How much of the final playable area will be indoors? Or will it only be this main outdoor area?
I dont have DOD:Source, but hopefully, the sourcewiki has some info about it.
The indoor areas will be like 1/3 of the map roughly estimated. I have taken pics of almost all indoor areas if you take a look here:
http://www.home.no/misterbister/Bilder/dm_cloudcity/
I like it, but I feel that your "buildings", so to speak, are a little... well, flat.
I realize that it might be the dev textures that you're using that may be causing this -- since they seem to consist of solid colors, a number or two,
and white lines But I'm saying that your buildings seem to lack any fine detail or extrusions from them. An example (not saying you need this
specifically) would be window sills, or maybe bars around a window -- for whatever the reason would be that you needem'.
But then again, since it looks like a citadel themed map, it may perfect, if that's what you're making
Thanks for the feedback, and yes. The buildings look a bit flat, however i dont dare to add detail until the map has been tested on slower machines
than my own. Right now, the map contains MUCH more polygons in the outdoor scenes than you can cover with one screenshot, so its hard to show.
Looking very cool, reminds me of Stargate Atlantis. As far as flying vehicles go it is possible to make props move on a path, very much like you could
do with brushes in hl1, which is how they got the bombers to fly in dod source. Don't ask me how though, I don't have a clue
. Keep up the good
work, its certainly looking impressive.
Never seen Stargate Atlantis, but thanks for the kind words anyway =).
Is it possible to have brushbased things flying on paths aswell as props, like the func_tracktrain?
