To be honest, a lot of the gameplay is (unfortunately) still up in the air. I always try to do different things for the 4th mission (see The Black Khan, Alzadhar), but this time, I haven't planned it all. There's definitely going to be a lot of non-action (you can walk around Ossos and talk to people). I think there's going to be some action too, as well as some stealth. My exams are all finished tomorrow, so I'll probably sit down and try to knock out some ideas then. If it doesn't work, I'll put it on hold and go straight to the fifth mission, which is pretty much finished in my head.
A lot of the stuff in Alzadhar was made up on the go. In fact, I think only the EMP hold-out was planned beforehand.
Really creative use of doodads in the fruit store and love the buildings in the background of the second pic. :D

Terrain is bad-ass, but that fruit stand could use a bit more work. It's just too large and too tall for the female civilian model there. Alternatively, you can put some more stands and put some bananas, lemons and watermelons, to fill the space, but you'll definitely need to lower that roof and use a bit more of camera tricks for dialogue/cutscenes.
Looking real good, really like the 3rd and 4th screenies especially. That fruit stand (clever use of the fruit models btw) might be a bit too large, though? It also looks a little empty, perhaps put some fruits/fruit baskets in the back?
Well, if you ask me, I think the name is just fine! I personally quite like the sound of it.
I find it kind of funny that you're thinking of a new city name this far in the mission, though haha! :P

It's not uncommon for me to improvise stuff on the spot. Case in point: with Alzadhar, I only had the sensor tower holdout part planned when I started making the map.
If things go as planned, the mission should be released to the testers before the end of the week. I've spent too much time on this map, and I don't expect the next mission to take this long. On the bright side, I do think it's one of my best. There's action, stealth and a tone very similar to what I first intended with The Black Khan. You can walk around in the city and talk to people (including buying drugs, with expected results), or if you don't want to, you can just proceed with the main objectives. The conversations are mainly for the lore-interested; those who are curious to know what the state of the Amina people is post-Geraldus victory, but I still think most people will like them.

Yeah, I see the size thing myself (though the unit has to be made bigger too). And yeah, I guess it needs to be filled up a bit, I guess.
Loving the eye candy! Great job! Cant wait for this map to be finish!

Thanks. :)
By the way, does anybody have any cool suggestions for the name of the city (preferably fitting with how it looks)? I'm not sure I like Ossos.
how about Otsoss?

There some very cool ideas for the fruit markets.

Yeah, that's where I found the... inspiration. I owe you one, I guess.
Although I would only make the effort to place all those tiny objects If I showed the market stand close up like in a cinematic.
You can actually talk to the girl, so the camera does move closer.
Blizzard needs to give you a job!!
Haha, that's fine with me!
