Unearthed City SE

The special edition of CTF-Unearthed for the Make Something Unreal Contest. This version includes a number of gameplay and performance tweaks that represent significant improvements of the original.

CTF-Unearthed is a map based on the major set piece from Katsuhiro Otomo's excellent graphic novel "The Legend of Mother Sarah: Tunnel Town". In it a weapon is used alter the earth's axial tilt in order to bury the contaminated remnants of a nuclear holocaust. Subsequent generations - now living in a barren, resource-poor world - tunnel into the buried cities in order to reclaim and recycle the materials trapped there.

With this map I have tried to create something that is visually distinct from the maps that came with UT2003. At the same time, I wanted to make a map that would be playable on most machines that meet the minimum spec for UT2003. For this reason, most of the meshes that I created for this map have a comparatively low polygon count.
