Story / Histoire:

According to Liandri records, Amyrade is a space station built by a very intelligent & very technologically advanced unknown race. There is no explanation why this race got rid of their station? Today, it is used by Liandri who advertise deadly tournaments! However, despite the many tournaments, Liandri robots remain to this day the ultimate winners. These robots are the pride of Liandri which some of their top fighters are displayed on few digital monitors. Are you ready to face them?

Selon les archives de Liandri, Amyrade est une station spatiale construite par une race méconnue très intelligente puis technologiquement très avancée. Il ni a pas d’explication à savoir pourquoi cette race s’est dépourvue de leur station ? De nos jours, Liandri y tient des tournois mortels ! Toutefois, malgré les multiples tournois qui y s’évissent, les robots de Liandri demeurent à ce jour les ultimes vainqueurs. Ces robots sont la fierté de Liandri & on peut, par le fait même, appercevoir des images des meilleurs combatants sur les moniteurs digitaux. Etes-vous prêt à les affronter ?

Details:

This is a small size, simple map which I focus on having fun with brushes. By making this map, I impose myself some restrictions to see what I can possibly achieve. Those restrictions are :

- The map must be 100% made of brushes. This is a first for me after few, heavy meshed finals maps!
- No static meshes allowed except pickups, jumpads, movers & teleporters
- No terrain allowed
- A skydome OR a skysphere is mandatory (which is the unique deco static mesh)
- All materials must meet UT3 visuals. I mean, using materials based on HD textures with normal maps + detail normal maps
- Everything like PostProcessing effects, particles, emitters, heightfog, decals, etc can be use to add dept & atmosphere

The features:

- The map use a sci-fi, techy theme with 100% custom materials which I made all from scratch coming from mostly custom textures
- Custom music, the track is ‘CrashTC’ coming from my UT99 GOTY edition
- A techy female announcer announce the Bezerk availability
- The map as been optimized for TDM gameplay
