This is a remake of my UT2004 map ONS-Araja, an huge Onslaught map setted on the surface of NaPali.

With this map I wanted to create something different from the stock UT3 content while trying to stay true to the original gameplay/atmosphere as much as possible. To achieve this result I had to create a lot of custom 3D models and textures from scratch. You can view some of this content in the slideshow above or in my Flickr Gallery.

The map has won the third prize in the vCTF & WAR Map category of the Make Something Unreal Contest

Here’s the background informations for the map:

When the first Skaarj mothership arrived on NaPali and spread death and terror on the surface of the planet, a lot of Nalis fled in the lost valleys of the Araja Mountains, searching for the power of the sacred crystals. But mountain passes became dangerous, infested by strange and obscure creatures, and no one of those who left their houses ever came back. Now, only the wind that blows in these valleys still remember the sound of their lost chants.
