+---------------------------------------------------------------+ | GAIA NOVA | | BY VICTOR-933 | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | SUMMARY: | | | | Emmitt was the first to live on The Rocks. He didn't know how | | he got there, but things were so nice he wasn't going to ask. | | He called them The Rocks, though they were in fact more than | | just rocks. The place was, rather, a collection of grassy | | islands pockmarked with hardy cedar trees, suspended in a | | vast greenish void. A few loose stones hung majestically in | | the air, or lazily danced circles across the alien sky. One | | of these islands held a pond with the most pure spring water | | cascading off the side in an elegant stream, only to be | | caught by a portal and returned to the source above. At the | | center was a raging maelstrom that seemed as though it held | | everything together, somehow. Somewhere far below was what | | looked like an endless sea, but Emmitt wasn't sure. | | | | Emmitt found he never felt hungry, and if he ever was thirsty | | the infinite pond would quench him. Still, he could not abide | | the dullness of paradise, and began to envision wondrous | | contraptions and buildings, and wished for the means to bring | | his dreams to reality. | | | | The next morning Emmitt awoke to find various tools had | | miraculously appeared near him as he slept. Rather than | | question things, he simply set himself to work, felling trees | | and sawing them into sturdy planks which would then become a | | quaint little cottage. This continued for some time; whenever | | Emmitt dreamed or wanted, the next morning his prayers would | | be answered, and slowly he began to mold The Rocks to his own | | tastes. | | | | Then, one evening, Emmitt wished he had some friends to live | | here on The Rocks with him... | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | INSTRUCTIONS: | | | | Place BSP file in half-life/valve/maps | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | DEV NOTES: | | | | This is what happens when I play too much Myst. | | | | Peak R_Speeds are around 1350, higher than I'd like but there | | isn't much I can do about it, since it's largely due to the | | map's open layout. This map uses stock assets. | | | | Snarks and tripmines are the only weapons absent, because on | | a map like this they'd be pretty useless anyway. | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Find more of my stuff on Gamebanana! | | http://www.gamebanana.com/members/213517 | | | | Check out TWHL for mapping tutorials and goodies! | | http://www.twhl.info/ | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
