A small release ?
For once, my second platform map of all time, I decided to base it on the previous piece back at TMUF: "
level by: Voyager006"
Again it's a symmetrical map, however the factor is multiplied to 4 !
That means
all 4 sides of the map are as identical as possible.
In order to achieve that, the layout had to be revolutionized of some sorts. The compactness doesn't make it easier either. The brand new layout makes for a big number of possible wayfounds - maybe it can be considered as a maze or a puzzle rather than a platform map
I guess the name comes by the fact that you might see yourself at the same spot, while you aren't !
levels actually fits more, but ain't it too similar ?
While building, I found out that with a little trick, you will get far
That trick might be bastardly lucky, though.
I apologize for that, + the bottom CP may be really dark, but I can't put lighting there without adding flickering textures
tl;dr for those who are not that beloved to MT:
So.. basically the technique I used for the MT is based on adjusting cams so they appear to look the same, but from various angles / heights. Intro is not a big deal, 4 shades of the same cam position, only rotating by 90 degrees.
The Outro is the first of the kind that I've made - with area-specific cams rather than sequenced you-know-how-the-next-cam-looks-like
The idea is good, but I think the stock cams can be improved
Maybe it looks better on ultra widescreen monitors
I had to insert a 2 second black screen at the podium so the intense bloom fades out

It's recommended to play in the Canyon title if you want to watch the Intro/Outro. Play online, LAN or Split Screen for podium.
