Description
###################################NOTE: A much more updated version of this map will be available in the 2nd episode of AMC TC when it will be released. With more rooms to explore and more balanced weapons. Along with a proper ending that i wanted originally.
###################################
Not to the 100% that i wanted because of the map limit i reached. but, i still cleaned it up and finished as best as i can ready to play.
Hope you don't mind the pixels.
I have been making Duke Nukem 3D maps ever since i can remember.
Though i lost them over the years. that made me sad because i didn't really
have good examples of my work to keep today. I made Zeta Base as something to keep for
myself to play in the future, though i hope to make more maps and already have one in the
works right now.
Description :
This is a level made for Duke Nukem 3D with the mod AMC TC. feel free to play as any character, they all have there own unique weapons and items to play with.
Zeta Base takes place in a base on mars that has been over run by all kinds of zombies, ghosts, monsters and aliens.
your goal is to get to the ship docks to escape!
There are a lot of monsters to shoot, including a large Bio lab, and lots of extra back rooms to explore! And 10 secrets to find. 8) (there will be 16 secrets in the Episode 2 version of AMC TC)
its a pretty big map, i reached the wall limit and i had to work around it. (this was fixed, it is now split into 2 maps with much more rooms and a proper ending) There are a lot of monster spawns so even if you
clear out an area you never know what will come from behind you next.

Hey, as of AMCTC, the Octobrain that is inside the pitch dark water tank that has some creepy noises coming from, can you actually go inside of it?

Oof, kept trying to find a way inside of it and was unable to find anything at all, at least now I know that I didn't really miss something.

Oh, you mean in the discriptions how to install steps? i linked it to the same page, just saying it was this add on.
the actual download is in the top right corner. but i fixed the link too now so it acts as the download as well.
hopefully that fixed any issues you were having.

okay i'm back from playing it and, it was a bloody good map.
*SPOILERS BELOW*
First the map had this feeling of dread and isolation but at the same time having this sense of exploration to go with, meaning not only that i had to escape but first find out what happened here.
Next the dynamic lighting kept me looking over my shoulder constantly from room to room, the enemy variety was weird, here i am shooting demons, cultists, zombies, aliens all in one base, what's the deal here.
I then enter a room where a boss meter pops onscreen, only to have me run all over the map for 10-15 mins just find the keycard to fight the boss, i felt quite teased.
But the fact is that i spent over 1 hour slicing up the unfortunate with the shadow warrior sword and basically redecorated the entire map with blood and bullets, i had a lot of fun and i'm glad that i had the chance to play it. 8/10

ooooh good question! they are all a lot of fun to play as, its really hard to pick! though if i REALLY had to pick one it would be... hmmm.. Geoffrey probably, even if i don't know to much about him, he is just silly. Though they are all really awesome. sometimes when i play usarmaps i would pick a character who fits it the best, its just so much fun.
I don't know about playstyle though what do you mean by that?

Ah, I see. Would it be cheating if I said I liked them all again? Lol lately I have been having fun with magic and swords.
What is your favorite primary weapon in the game so far?

i'm more of a situational kind of guy, but i will admit that i love using assault rifles, to either use strategically or paint the walls with ammo, it's fun

that makes sense. every weapon is a tool for a job. the assault rifles are pretty awesome indeed

Well, I've just finished playing through the map. It was awesome ! A real masterpiece ! Really, it left me wanting for another one. It's innovative, there are loads of nice details to look at, and you can have a firefight in a bar. If anything, that ought to be the most important part, right ?
I was really glad to find such a piece of work for one of my favorite TCs. You just made my day ! And you deserve heaps of praise for it. Come get some, indeed.

Awesome! I'm really glad you enjoyed the map!
And of cource blowing things up in a bar is always totally worth it in a game like this haha. 8)
Thank you very much. ^^

Cool! Just a quick question, there's a hub system coded into the game that lets you go back and forth between maps. Would you want to make a version of this map for Episode 2 that takes advantage of that, so you could add more stuff/detail? If you're interested I could set you up with a newer version of the TC and the maps set up with the HUB system - that way you don't have to worry about setting it up or anything just concentrate on adding what you'd like. Let me know here or by my e-mail address (jstanf36@gmail.com)

I just discovered this map, I'm James from the AMC TC (I go by a pseudoname here) I just played the level and thought it was really good, it was HUGE and took me about an hour to finish. I'm honored you enjoyed the TC enough to make a level for it! Hopefully you'll enjoy Episode 2 when it comes (there's also a large mars colony section in that, but it's very different to your style)
I made a little review for it here:

Wow amazing thank you! That really means a lot to me, I'm glad you had fun playing my map. I certainly can not wait to play the next episode of AMC TC as i had a lot of fun playing the first one, Its sure a nice spin on the old duke engine.
As soon as i finished playing i couldn't wait to get into the mapper and have fun with all the cool new props and items, as i am a bit sick of recycling Duke Nukem stuff over and over again after the years. I hope to keep my next maps a little smaller next time around though and focus on details more.
Nice review too!
