Ex Cathedra
| Author | Doug Zartman |
| Author Comments | My only scenario level, partly inspired by the third-party Marathon map "Villa Banzai". At E3, a Marathon fan suggested I check out this map. I did, and thought it was great - beautiful realization of what was obviously an attractive real-world structure. Though I had done levels based on real-world structures before (i.e., my house, the office) I had never thought of doing one based on an architectural plan, much less of a building that was good looking. So I spent some time looking for plans, and found one of a cathedral in Durham, England that looked cool, but easy enough to replicate. I spent an enormous amount of time on it, about 4 from-the-ground-up revisions, maybe 80 hours over a period of 3 months (since level design wasn't my job, it was mostly done at home). |
