Map Name:
Deep Blue Astral


Map Description:
Light years outside the Solar system, a giant blue planet covered fully in extremely cold liquid, mankind was not able to land and build habitats, but this didn't prevent having fun on its orbit, like this big floating rock with the ancient building repurposed for an arena.

Cool, I remember the WIP thread from the Epic forums.

The video shows a notable difference in UT3 and "UT4" gameplay (I guess, someone should suggest to increase walking speed, haha).
Good "port" though, I'm curious how it will look like once you are able to progress visually (especially once the gameplay will hit something more solid).

Nice creative map, good job! And indeed there's an obvious difference between this and UT3, they definitely need to increment the speed ugh...

[chonglee]

I feel the dodge distance is also less than UT3.
The new character is 180uu, in UT3 it was 96, so it is 1.875x larger, which is the scale I used for this map, in case you wonder what the size difference between these 2 versions.
I don't mind the speed or distance, right now the only "annoying" thing is the air control, but I have all the faith in Epic. I believe they are gonna nail it.
And I really like the auto climb.

This could be a good CTF map, but with 2 "islands".

[raeg]

Looks nice also I really dig the player height/scale it seems to be pretty much right. But it'S also pretty obvious that the dodge needs ~30% more length, it looks like a little girl strolling around. Also movement speed 900 maybe? If walking around is what you mostly do, then I think it should be a chunk faster.

Looking good so far Chong!

DeepBlue lives!....as a new UT map! Great to see this project still alive Chonglee. Nice to have a new UT to map for eh?

Yeah, could be faster and further.

Or, could be DOM if the 2 parts are used in one map. I had this thought before. Will see when DM version is done.

Definitely, it is like finally the winter is over! 7 years, man, how many 7 years we have in our lives, so I am going to do more, and hopefully faster for this generation. I am not really happy with what I did for UT3 considering the time in it.

Looking good so far Chong!

Hey Numb.51, how are your maps going? Can't wait to see and play them in this new UT.

[Spazinski]

Cool. I'm looking forward to checking this out.

If it has more than 3 floors I already like it by. <3 The map is looking great. And really, Epic please give a built-in option to play with lit-only maps, it looks gorgeous and elegant that way.

Looking forward to see the final map Especially how the space around the map will look like

[Shadow Gage]

Great concept and I think this is a great DM map!

Can't wait to see comments from you guys!

There will be small platform floating below the main island, for powerups, and I am still open to suggestions about new platforms or small islands which can be connected to the main one with jumppads or teleporters.
But at this point, I don't really want to make big changes to the main island unless you have a very strong reason that I can't overlook.
Yeah lighting only is interesting look sometimes, I thought about making a map basically presenting neat look, and in my opinion, it has to be used together with very unique layout, very very unique.

Looking forward to see the final map Especially how the space around the map will look like

Thanks, I am thinking if possible bring more moving stuff into the space. It is universe, it is silent, but everything is moving.

Great concept and I think this is a great DM map!

Thanks! I hope so.

Had to login to answer to the thread

I remember seeing the wip thread, the project was to build the map in UDK and lit it then import the things in UT3 iirc. Would have been so sweet.
I really hoped to play this map in UT3 one day but looks like i won't :'(

Anyway, i really like the concept so far. I love this kind of modern building and always thought they would make for some great base for UT arenas, being clean and having interesting shapes. You can basically do whatever you feel like doing and it will still looks like a real place. Never had the time to make one though :/

Anyway, i hope you'll final this one as it would make for some oldschool feels with the building on a space floating island. Keep on it, i'm eager to see more
