Deus Ex Revision

Hello there!

Phew! It sure has been a while since the last update from us. There has been a lot going on behind the scenes. For starters, we have acquired another level designer to our team, Henry. He has been assigned to take care of the maps you have seen in Demo 1.3. As you may know, we want to give a fresh feel to every one who plays Revision. That includes all you people who have been playing since the very early version. We want to give a fresh feel to all you Revision 'vets' as well. Currently Henry is improving the Unatco HQ level. These improvemets are the offices of the primary characters such as Alex, Manderley, Anna, and so on. I managed to sneak in the HQ and took a few photos:




These enhancements were truly welcome as the original ones didn't quite match up fully with the characters.
That's all about Unatco for now. There will be more to come as Henry progresses further.

Now let's talk a few words about Paris. There never was a Denfert Rochereau Part 2, so consider this to be it. Thing is, we did update the Moddb profile with the last update, but it didnt arrive here for some reason or another. But yeah, we did finish Denfert Rochereau back in April.

Few things about it:

Overall it's not an enormous level, for example it's smaller than Hell's Kitchen, but! Far more detailed. However the level could've been a couple streets bigger(that was the original plan) but we've hit a rock that we cannot get through. Meaning that we're pushing the editors limits as close to the border as possible. Actually, we ran into these limitation problems when the level was 75% complete. So, we had to make some splitting. Basically the entire level have been split into 3 parts.

First, we have the level start, where Jock drops you off. This part consist the side quest which is given to you by that creepy lady where you have to get rid of the griesels for her. That whole area is a map of its own. Then we have the streets of course which you've seen from the screenshots. You can walk freely around the streets without loadings. Last but not least, the closed metro station with the other side quest that is given to you by the arms dealer(you're told to get rid of the MJ12 troopers in the station). To sum it all up: Side quests have their own level while the primary quest is in the street map. It's a little hard to explain but if you didnt catch the point just drop a question or two down the comment section and we'll try explain it better to you.

Few screenshots from the level:





That's all about the street area. For more screenshots, head to our Moddb page.

Last but not least: The locked-down metrostation area. Of course there had to be major improvements made here since original was really crappy. Especially that 'mall' area. We've done ridiculous amount of work for this small map. Map itself is weighed around 16 megabytes which is quite large in Deus Ex's standards. It's even bigger than the other metro station(in sizes). We have made a few comparison pictures for you to look at. See how much the level has changed:




Quite a change isn't it? Hardly looks like the same area it used to be.


That's all we have for you to share. We have started working on the next Paris map. For more information about it, keep an eye on the site as there will be an update coming. In the mean time if you have any questions or suggestions or anything - just post a message down the comment section or in the forums. Any kind of feedback is welcome!
