At long last, after two terms (that’s four months) of work, I’m proud to present the Beta version of DM-Reverence, an Unreal Tournament 3 space-themed Deathmatch map.

Now including custom-made art assets, this version of the map represents my final project submission at Worcester Polytechnic Institute — it is, quite literally, the last school project I worked on before graduating college. It is the culmination of an Independant Study Project I designed, and is, without a shadow of a doubt, among the coolest things I got to do for academic credit at WPI.

However, just because this is what I submitted doesn’t mean it’s the final version of DM-Reverence — far from it. As much as I’ve learned, I’ve also learned just how far I still have to go to turn the level from a decent first map into a blockbuster experience, and I intend to keep working towards that goal. Until then, however, there’s still the Beta, and it’s now available for download.

As always, please let me know what you think of the map — all criticism, positive and negative, is good criticism, and can only help me make the map better.

[After the break: three more screenshots, and a copy of the readme.]
