I was clearing my Hard Drive for other things when I noticed, I accidentally deleted my Anarchy level.... :(

Annnyway, I don't have much time for Editing anymore, and I don't really do anything, so, I've decided that this will be my official last project. There *may* be more if I ever get bored, but as it is, this will be my last level.

So, I give you...
Machtkampf!

P.S: I could really use some texture ideas lol :S

Why do people make such definite claims like "I'm leaving massassi" and "I'm done editing." Just don't come, or just stop making levels. This makes it so you don't eat your words when you get a hankering for some JED.

I would say the best translation of machtkampf is "power struggle," but perhaps Xzero had something along the line of "battle" in mind. Ford's close enough with the pronunciation.

I really like that archi.

looks a bit blocky, and without some walls a good force jump would conquer that, but otherwise looks good.

Like the stuff - and perhaps I wont rush into texturing straight away in future. I like the shadows and stuff - it brings it out. It looks stunning even with the yellow and grey of dflt.mat. Keep up the good work. :)

You're so positive, Negative. I really like the lighting as well, makes it feel like a bright sunny day in the spring. The walls and floors could use some more interesting details though, to break up those long boring surfaces.

Will do :D I was thinking of breaking up the walls by the textures, like I did in Dead Cell 2.. but I'll see what I can come up with. I'd laugh it turns into another DFLT map pack :P

Updates soon!

I've never heard "macht" used as anything other than "power" (aside from the 3rd person "machen" obviously), I think "Geistkampf" or better yet "geistiges Kraeftemessen" would be closer to "Battle of wits."

What can I say, google isn't very good for translating XD

Power Struggle does sound pretty sweet though.. :D

A lot of people have claimed to stop and go away, but you can't just leave this place, somehow. I bet you will feel the urge to fire up JED in less than a year...

True, I've given up editing more times than I remeber and always got lured back. :)

Architecture and lighting is really cool so far, the only thing I don't like is that it looks "cut" at the top. I mean, everything stops at one height.. I don't know how to explain it more precisely.
And the name: Macht is power yeah, and it's used for the force in Star Wars. Could be might, too. Power struggle is the best translation tough.
My levels
2007-03-04, 6:56 PM #19
Swank! So, Power Struggle it is then :)

If you have any suggestions on how to add to the top of the level, please let me know, I'm finding it very dull to notice everything ends at the same height...
2007-03-05, 6:48 PM #20
And some updates.

I'm playing around with textures to see what I like. Hopefully you guys have some suggestions. :D

Let me know what you think.

Well, the floor stone texture is way too similar to the stone wall texture. It becomes too much stone everywhere and becomes repetitive.

I think a tree would look nice in that center area with the dirt.

Mip maps please! Other than that, looking good. I don't find the wall/floor textures overly repetitive, but you should definitely decorate with a lot of medieval-ish objects (or whatever theme you're going for). The tree idea is nice, and I would also add some vines here and there.

Also, you could prolong the "pillars" along the walls, to break up the straight horizon. Or maybe add gargoyle statues or something on top of them. Also, a mountain 3do in the far distance could help with orientation.
