Escher's House of Stairs

[Rodzilla]

Since there's no Serious Sam forum *cough* I figured I'd post this here:

I'm sure most of you are familiar with M.C. Escher's famous painting, "House of Stairs," as seen below:

DamianTV and Shrinker, two mappers in the Serious Community, have managed to successfully recreate the map in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, using the Serious Engine's zoning and multi-gravity features to the fullest extent.

It plays extremely well, and once you've overcome the initial "holy crap which way is up" effect it's a blast

wow!! that map will seriously mess with your head while playing it

 

[bigfoot]

that looks quite mad, although be prepared for some flaming

 

[PR.]

I'd get a headache from that like I used to get a headache from AvP

What happens if you throw a grenade?

 

[Testin da Cable]

d'you think gravity is perpendicular to every direction? how would you fall? on second thought...if you timed it right you could float in the exact center of the map

 

[Will]

I'm sure some splatting would happen if you tried.

It would be fun playing that map, even if I refuse to play SS:TSE until the 1.50 patch makes it out of beta

 

[Rodzilla]

Grenades bounce around unpredictably until they lose enough momentum that they land on one of the many "floors."

 

[Summo]

Oooh! Nifty!

 

[smurkin]

cant think why...reminds me of Ziggurat Vertigo

 

[Daffeh]

that certainly looks very gr00vey indeed

kudos to the mappers methinks

 

[Moving Target]

Extremely cool, I must say.

I want Serious Sam 2 now :/

 

[Testin da Cable]

if we all get SS:TSE...will we get a SS forum?

 

[Will]

Bah, couldn't find SS in the shops...admittedly, when I say shops, I mean PC World, but I only had one choice on the way home from work.

 

[old.Fweddy]

I wanna pway!

 

[Rodzilla]

I think CompUSA is still giving it away for a penny with rebates...

 

[Will]

CompUSA would be a fair walk from here.

Need a server from BW, once 1.50 patch comes out we should put some pressure on BW
