Elevator Evacuation progress update


Just thought id post an update to let you guys know what i've been up to and how my gears of war level is coming along. (All 4 of you who actually follow my blog lol)

To start of with I have updated my CV. I felt that it was a bit cluttered before so I've reworked it a bit to make it more concise and to the point. Hopefully this will pay off and get me some response :).

I've also started working on the first street area of my gears of war level.
Ive done basic grey box for the first street area and started working in kismet to get Dom to spawn and the first set of enemies when the player moves forward into a trigger.
I'm finding the initial planning I did and maps very helpful however from some basic testing I think ill have to move a few cars and other cover points around as I'm finding at the moment there is way to much cover making it very easy to take out the boomer and the 4 locust drones with minimal risk.

I think the biggest obstacle at the moment is the lack of information and tutorials on the net about Unreal editor for gears of war.
I've found the following two sets of tutorials helpful for basic things like setting up exploding propane tanks and setting up a basic matinee sequence.
I'll post the links below in case anyone else is interested.

Anyway here are a few basic screen shots of the level so far.
