s3crtAZOnt Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 There is a map in development for quite a while now. Its heavily STALKER inspired and has a very atmospheric posst-apocalyptic look to it so i think it would fit for Epoch perfectly. The topic for the map: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?142308-Large-S-T-A-L-K-E-R-inspired-Island-quot-NOVA-ZONA-quot The first and only video demonstration Developers blogspot ( contains most of info and art): http://www.meshcarver.blogspot.ru/ The first video: I would love to see this map eventaully come to life and come to Epoch. What do you guys think? ImSoEnigma and DruidRaven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampire Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would love to see a map like this, but he is still in the very early stages. He only has those 3 or 4 structures made, and he just threw them on a pre-existing map in the editor for the video. He doesn't have an island made or anything yet, just a few models. It could very easily be a year or more before he has a playable map. Mrthuglink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meshcarver Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi guys..! I have JUST joined these forums and noticed there was a thread about NOVA ZONA! :) To OP, thanks for mentioning it here, it's greatly appreciated to see people are looking forwards to it. And to Vampire, indeed mate, I have made a lot of structures but only rigged a few of them to test the in game process. It isn't too difficult or time consuming to rig each one for the engine so that bits not a problem really. The time line you mentioned is fair- tbh, it'll be longer than a year from now yes. RL work is a necessity, and that is sadly where ALL my time is going right now. I have played a LOT of various scenarios I've set up quickly in the editor with some structures and it can be very atmospheric even at this early stage... I hope to show another update soon... ;) TheVampire, bFe, Tywin and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymix Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Finally someone producing stalker style map, very well done so far. Any ideas if player skins will be also included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshcarver Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hi guys, cheers Richie, nice of you to say..! :) @ raymix- if they are mate, it'll be a long time coming- once the island is finished and completely rounded off with all the nice little trimmings yes... it'd be nice. It'd be even nicer if someone else (A true character artist- something I'm utterly not..!) stepped up and done some lovely hi res STALKER units... *drools*...

Well. at least I am happy to see that you welcome community to help you with that map. In fact, if someone wanted to contribute, lets say, few house models, how do you make it happen? Do you provide "alpha" stage of map or just accept models by PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Sounds good but in it's current state isn't it just some buildings on Altis? He has LOADS of work to do before it can be called a map. ImSoEnigma and Zimmyantz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequisha Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Good looking structures indeed, well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work Mesh; Arma modding needs more guys of your caliber. DruidRaven and ispan55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshcarver Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi guys, Raymix, very very kind of you to offer mate but I'm doing this as a solo effort so will be building everything myself mostly for enjoyment and consistency. Cheers Sequisha, just really wish I had more time to work on it- very frustrating..! Btw man, did you guys (vbawol?) get my PM regarding Underground Structures?

meshcarver Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hi guys, very quick update and post here as I'm pushed for time again..! Thank you very much for all your comments- appreciated..! And don't worry about the constant bad weather- I have mentioned in the BI Forum thread that the sun will be making an appearance every now and then in NOVA ZONA lol..! It'll have the full range of weather situations, but will be biased towards dark and stormy around the 65% mark. Anyway, here's a few more (dark!) screenies for you to check out before I'm away from my PC for 5/6 weeks: ++ EMPTY REFUGE ++ ++ BRICK HILL ++ ++ SISTERS ++ knights†emplar, Uro, Richie and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meshcarver Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 What a difference a day makes, twenty four little hours... Two shots with two purposes: One to show the difference a single day can bring forth whilst traversing NOVA ZONAs many splendid environs. Two to answer numerous requests by certain unnamed individuals seeking sun soaked Zones. (Ie: "Why is it always f&*$£!g raining in NOVA ZONA.?.!") ++ IN THE LOFTY HEIGHTS ABOVE THE NEW ZONE, THERE ARE SOARING ANGLES THAT BREACH THE CLEAR DAWN ++ ++ IN DARKNESS SHEER, TRAPS AND SNARES WITH HEIGHT SHALL INVADERS CLEAR ++ The "++" quotes above and below are taken from a guide that will accompany the release of NOVA ZONA: "SURVIVAL BY MEANS OF DECEPTION THEN EXTRACTION FROM THE NEW ZONE" ++ THIS PLACE EXISTS TO KILL YOU ++ Nakama Mind and vetka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
