Story:

A squad of four has been sent to investigate a factory-hall previously owned by a company called a(h)tna(ma)s.
Even though nobody had bought the facility after the company went bankrupt nearby residents stated that it seemed like somebody had still been working there.
But it never bothered anyone so no further action was taken.
Close to Christmas however more startling reports arrive accounting faint weird screams and mysterious lights, which don't fit the festive mood.
To eliminate the threat mentioned group force-opens the main gate and enters the old big hall.
However, before they could take any action they faint as some thick smelly kind of gas escapes through the newly created gap.
As the group awakes it notices two things: they are captured in some kind of containers and surrounded by factory-staff which seems to have grown rabid.
Can you help them find out what happened there and lead them to an escape?
Can you SAVE CHRISTMAS?

Devlog:

[13.10.] The UGX-mod works now and I managed to compile my map. Now some patches appear to be invisible but I'll get behind that soon.
[14.10.] Thanks to codmoddd I was able to fix the invisible patches. Additionally I got some mapping done.
[16.10.] I finally wrote down a brief description of the story, will do some more mapping later today.
[17.10.] Made a new (probably temporary) logo.
[30.10.] I finally got to do some detailing on the lower section. new scripts and features are planned.
[04.11.] I have to re-do some detailing, used too many brushes instead of patches.
[13.11.] Now I'm far enough to say that my map is technically playable.
[19.11.] Finally the layout is done. Now I can work on the remaining features.
[27.11.] Today I finished the zones, pathing and the playable area.
[01.12.] I'm almost done, starting the closed beta today. but I have problems with my spawners.
[03.12.] The risers are working! Now onto the PP-Location and final detailing.
[04.12.] Did some testing, fixed some things and added the buyable ending.

at least a list of feautures would give us an idea about what do you want to do in general 

So this will be my WIP topic. I sadly don't have much to offer yet as I just started mapping.
I just can't give away much right now but I'll keep you updated and more content content (pictures, story, etc.) will follow soon.

Just started, huh. Well good job so far. You've got a creative imagination. I'm not sure if this is a warehouse or a floating platform but if it's floating, thats unique. Keep it up! I wish you luck!

at least a list of feautures would give us an idea about what do you want to do in general 

I mainly focus on the level-design so weapons, perks etc. will most probably be the default ones provided by the UGX-mod.
And the only part of the story/quest I already know for sure is the only one I don't want to give away yet:D

I'm not sure if this is a warehouse or a floating platform but if it's floating, thats unique.

Seems like it turned out not to be a floating platform, but the idea is pretty good actually.

Make sure the terrain is not just flat, looks good, mate  8)

It won't be later on(:

Uhm, do you know why everything looks like there's something causing a giant shadow?



also, the blend-texture on the street appears to be invisible.

amazing Alerion! cant wait man .

I like those  building models. Good work! 8)

enclose your map in a box

selection > cgs > hollow

make the inside a (usage: sky) texture

make the rest caulk

Thanks but I had already done that, didn't change anything though(:

I somehow fixed it by using another skyboxmodel now.

The base-map is done now.



Onto the detailing and scripting.

Looks very good man, can't wait to play it! Will there be a hidden bowie knife again (or something else) ?

Probably yes. I always liked hidden things in such places but sadly almost nobody checks em..

I just noticed the title of your map Alerion, VERY clever in more ways than one 

Very nice. We will definitely try our hardest to save Christmas
