Onslaught - Pavlov VR
Onslaught is my latest map project. It's a map made for Pavlov VR using the Unreal Engine 4.
Pavlov VR is a VR FPS heavily inspired by Counter Strike featuring classics game modes like "search and destroy", "FFA" and "Team Deathmatch".
With this project, I had a variety of goals set before even starting to work on the layout of the map:
-The map had to be as competitive as possible since it's made to be played in "search and destroy".
-The map would have to be fully playable offline against Bots. This meant that I'd have to heavily work on the pathfinding.
-A large emphasis would be put on the lightning of the map.
-Create a map featuring a haunting atmosphere.

The map is set in an abandoned and partially destroyed Military complex located somewhere in the Ural Mountains.
The Counter Terrorists team Is sent to secure high values military equipment and protect them from being destroyed by the Terrorists.
After partially restoring the power and setting a small base, the Terrorists team is tasked to destroy the equipment to prevent it being used by anyone.
One of my intention with this map was to build a place offering multiple ways for the players to attack and defends the objectives.
The two bombsite have also been made to look and feel totally different from one another :
The bombsite A is a almost empty hallway across a large train tunnel while the B site is in the center of a large garage offering multiples covers to hide behind.
The main Hall of the map is connecting the various route across the two bombsites, It also offer some perfect spaces for snipers.
The map also offer multiple elements of verticality with vents, underpass, tunnels and spots to throw grenades.
My main sources of inspiration on this project were :
-The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and featuring some of the most terrifying places in a FPS.
-Metro 2033 and Last Light with their incredibly claustrophobic experiences and the incredible world building of most places encountered.
-Counter-Strike : GO, one of the most popular online FPS with particularly well designed maps.
Now that the map is officially out, I'll keep working on a few hotfixes if needed while also beginning to work on a new map, still for Pavlov VR but this time,made for the TTT ( Trouble in Terrorist Town) Gamemode. More information soon about that...
In the mean time, here are are a some few more screenshot of the map and a gameplay video where i'm facing a group a bots in a gun-game match :
