DM FNB Fallen Angel

DM FNB Fallen Angel

UT Deathmatch / Team DM, 6-16 players. Base map (DOM) started in October 2006, DM conversion during December 2009.

Fallen Angel (actual title is "Where Fallen Angels Dwell" was a 2006 DOM map originally planned for the Timewarp Fusion Of Time map pack. It might have been finished for that map pack if not for a big gaff on my part - I'd spent such a long time creating textures to use in the map and in one day managed to mess most of them up in Photoshop.

Since I had not kept proper source image backups I was screwed! Not feeling like repeating all that texture work I decided to just shelve the map. Several times since then I have attempted to get the ball rolling on the map but I always become incredibly bored futzing around in Photoshop and so would end up working on any other map!

In early December 2009, mapper Swanky announced a UT 10th Anniversary Deathmatch map pack at Unreal Playground and invited other mappers to join. So I tested FA for DM + TDM and it had decent gameplay.

So I was motivated to work on it for that reason but the map pack soon fizzled out due to a general lack of interest by the participants , which is a shame. I did do a fair bit of work on the map before suspending the effort to do other things.

When I do work on this map I work on the DOM version. The DM and the DOM use the same layout (obviously) but the DOM has more complete areas and lighting. So the eventual DM will simply be a conversion of the completed DOM (whenever that happens, LOL!)
