[WIP] Project The Dust Wastes - "unofficial" 5th DLC!

THE 5th DLC IS COMING!

Hey, hey, HEY! It’s your local goon TCD here! What’s good my fellow vault hunters?

Within this forum post you’ll be able to keep track of our work on the (unofficial) 5th DLC that me and my friends @Sleepmaster, @ugyuu and @RedxYeti are developing. Please leave anything 5th DLC related on this topic so me and Sleep can review and answer it properly, thanks!


The Narthex, Playtest (version 0.1)

The Narthex, public pre-alpha playtest is live, and your help is needed!

Want to give the development a hand? Want to try out a cool PvP map to beat your buddies on? Then look no further cuz we have something for you!

You’d do me and Sleepmaster a great solid if you’d help test a map for us and leave feedback on a playtest feedback sheet I’ve setup. This will allow me to make various revisions on the map to iron out the kinks and make the whole experience better and better. The newer versions will be updated for you to download and playtest as well. All the way up to a point where I feel confident I can take the map to the polishing state.

The Narthex download & installation instructions: Narthex Playtest v0.1.rar - Google Drive

The Narthex feedback form: https://forms.gle/iEeZMkKbdec29K9P6

Please make sure to fill in the form as best you can so I can get to work on improving the map based off your feedback. Also feel free to leave any thoughts you may have on this thread or on the special channel we have for the map on our Discord: Discord

Thanks for the help!

I look forward to seeing this develop. The desert/arid themed maps are my favorite, it is a shame there has only been The Dust since the original game.

I will do my friend. And I agree with the “Arid” thing as well. I love that part about BL.

just replying so i get to keep up with this :smile:

Time that I step in and show some of my work on this project (this is one of my “TDW” maps).

Take note that this is map is in a extremely RAW stage a.t.m. as this was just done in 1 day… Yes I’ve just began working on this map today, but I’ve drawn a sketch for my self in what kind of way I want it. If you get a “Skag Gully” feeling from it then you’d be correct as that is my major source of inspiration for this map. But as its name implies “Scrap…” it will be like a cross in between Skag Gully and junk.

Thanks, look forward to our “5th DLC” Collab. Which will tell the story of the Fall of New Haven and the liberation of Sanctuary. (all cannon)

Why does this have the same title as my thread?

Notice the distinct The Dust Wastes between dem brackets. And I also explain that the TDW is part of our DLC which is the “Fall of New Haven,” so it should make sense.

(edit)

New pictures! Check out that progress baby! XD

Hey, you think you could use some side quest ideas? I’ve had something on my mind recently. If you’d like, I could PM or e-mail you the whole thing. In case you’re still not convinced, one of the mission arcs has treasure hunting, time travel and Young Mr. Torgue “High-five” Flexington. Best of luck with the DLC!

Mmmhmmm…

Treasure hunting = approved.
Time travel = declined.
Mr. Torgue = declined.

Well, shoot. Gonna have to change it up then. I’ll give a shout later.

Do note that we are far off from actually implementing side-quests. Its one of the last things we’ll add.

Loving what you’ve done so far… Great premise for a DLC :acmaffirmative:

Thanks man, I’m currently in the detailing stage which will be followed up by post-sfx scripting and hostile scripting and I’d say it would be a wrap for The Scrapbelt. After which I’ll move on to the Deep Cathedral.

(edit)

I’d figure I’d leave all of you the pictures of my current progression before I have to send my laptop to ASUS for repairs. The new pic’s show the current status of The Scrapbelt! (some pictures are unlit as the lightning is still placeholder)
