A friend of mine who's relatively new to HL mapping sent me his map to tweak, and I got a little carried away. It's barely recognizable now :P I've decided to release the map for the public to view.

Originally it was just the first screenshot and a few underground tunnels. I've more than tripled the size of the map.

Achluophobia n. Fear of the dark

This map was predominantly inspired by Natural Selection, with its dark and brooding maps with loads of maintenance passageways and crawlspaces.

Been a while since I actually FINISHED a map :P

Anyway, Antareus Core started out just as a little experiment with vertex manipulation and the like.. then it turned into a small arena. It grew, shrank, grew some more, and turned into this, all without using a SINGLE custom texture or sound.

Every minute or so the catwalks lower and a teleporter to the egon activates.

UPDATE 11/19/07

In the time since I've been here (damn addictive MMO's) Filecities has changed into Filexoom, died, been resurrected, and been redesigned twice.. I've updated the download link for this, what I consider my greatest mapping achievement.
