File Description
Unreal as any, the contestants are miniaturized and the battles are staged in what was once an ordinary kitchen. Now facing tremendous distances just to cross from one side of a countertop to another, you have to face your foes amongst the daily dishes.
I created this map pack because I feel the quality of "giant maps" available to the Unreal Tournament community overall needs help, and also as a challenge to my game creation skills. Players in the community are often in two solid camps in regards to these giant maps -- either they love them or they hate them. I think the reason people hate, or at the very least, dislike them is because most of them use very poor visuals and are literally based off of some completel-real bedroom, bathroom, or some other room in a house. These kinds of maps often appear amateurish and the large, wide-open areas completely destroy the fun factor. Therefore, I took my time, creating many new staticmeshes and completely new textures, planning things out so that gameplay would feel balanced, yet original in layout. This collection places inches-tall players in various places around a kitchen, ranging from the entire countertop, to the basin of the sink, even hopping outside into a windowsill flowerbox.
The cupboards, chair, faucet, pot, and pan come from mr-cad.com. Almost every other static mesh you see was hand-modeled by myself after that, including manually re-creating all of the textures.
