Non-Euclidean Level Design

It took me a while to find this again, but wanted to show this to you all. I thought it was a pretty awesome concept :>

Like warpzones, right?
Or are they different?

It's like warpzones except that you don't immediately know that you're going through them.

Fairly certain that div did a proof-of-concept map for non-euclidean design a while back, after first introducing warpzones to DP. It may have been back on the old AT forums, though. I remember him having a staircase that would go infinitely long.

Ever noticed that in Glowplant you have a couple of warpzones that aren't visible as well? May be depending on your graphics settings, I don't know... we already have that :o)

Yeah I think div did a few of these. There was another one with infinite corridors or something that was kinda neat.

That makes me want to load up the original Unreal (NOT Tournament) to play on a map called DM Radikus. It did similar stuff to that, except made the warp zones obvious, but still acting like they did in Portal.

Man, It took me 3 months to learn eggandbaccons...
Don't complicate too much please

Shame about the slight graphical glitches that happen as you go through a warpzone!

Yes, it freaked me out.

and yes Glowplant is kinda of non Non-Euclidean too, but its not designed to trow you off as the above clips are, just change the flow.

This raped my brain with the giant dong of deja vu for a few minutes before I finally twigged.

It is a cool feature though, and everything in the video could be implemented with warpzones?

Very fun. Pretty easy to wrap my mind around, but that is probably 'cause I dabble in the tesseract theory and wormholes to relax my mind. I bump into that kind of stuff all the time.

eggandbacon the level on nexuiz?

Yeah, it takes a while to grasp the concept of four walls slightly slanted. That gradient had me puzzled for days.

A video I made explaining warpzones and demonstrating them on Glowplant.

Endless staircases FTW!
