The_Academy v2 interview! -Sared - Jun 24 03:36pm |
|
|
This just in from Tido! Good job matey! While on IRC today, Virtue was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about Version 2 of the Academy’s Official Map. Tido: So Mr. Virtue, what inspired you to make V2 of the map? Virtue: Cos I'm a perfectionist, and I've grown to hate v1 . Tido: Will the look of the map be the same? Or can we expect a new theme? Virtue: The theme of the Map is the same; however, the lighting is better. Some areas have changed. IE, The Fortress, Vladarion's Garden, The Pit, and the Main Hall. Tido: Can you describe as best you can the changes to those areas? Virtue: Minor changes have been made to quite a few other areas, but the ones I just mentioned are the vastest. I want to keep much of it a surprise. I have added a few secrets into the Map and I want everyone to find them themselves . Tido: How do you feel about the_academy and its popularity out in the pubs? Virtue: I think it's awesome and I'm really chuffed about it. It shows how much the Jedi Academy influences the public really. The Map can only be found here, it's not on PCgamemods, Massassi or JK3Files. This is the only place people can get it. Tido: Do you have any long term plans for a major redesign of the Academy's Official Map? Virtue: Hard to say. I'm always getting new ideas. Heck, when we were working on Beta 3 of the Old map, we decided that we hated it and that we wanted to start over. So I mapped the map we have now in under 3 days. Then purposely made Beta 3 into a shamble fest and we released it as a joke, heh. But depending on what the future brings, and what type of facilities the Academy needs, who knows? As long as everyone enjoys what I do, I'll keep on doing it. Tido: Lastly, when can we expect V2 to be out? Virtue: I made the mistake of giving out time frames when working on the Beta Maps, and it just lead me to be more stressed and unfocussed. So there is no real deadline to when Version 2 will come out. But if I were to make an approximation, I'd say within the next few weeks. Tido: Thank you so much for your time Virtue. the_academy is an awesome map and it's exciting to think that you are making an even better on. There is no way to describe how lucky we are to have you. Virtue: Well, if it wasn't me, it'd be someone else. Thanks a lot bud. Click here for a teaser screenshot! |

Sw33t I'm looking forward to it. Virty's a great mapper, and I'm sure it will rock. From the teaser pic, the Fort looks smaller. That should help the big fps problem in there *shudder*. Go Virty!
