Statue of Liberty Size Up

As I'm nearly done with the low spec PC port of Full Contact Debate (www.fullcontactdebate.com) so I thought I'd get a little head start on the Oust style Statue of Liberty map which is coming up. I'd like to share a little screen which demonstrates the scale present in Full Contact Debate.



In the screen shot you can see the Statue of Liberty (in all her bump mapped glory) is about as high as the separation of the marble on the Washington Monument which is where construction had to be halted for a time and new darker marble was used for the rest. That spot is ~150 feet up on the actual monument. The Statue of Liberty is 151 feet tall in reality. I designed the maps in FCD to be nearly to scale save for some elements which suck for gameplay, for example the reflecting pool isn't nearly as long across because it took forever to cross the map.

Having a little reality basis in the map design has been really fun because of the facts you pick up along the way. It also helps corral the design process.

Something kind of funny is how small Barack Obama is compared to the Monument and Statue. It's a bit like where's Waldo but he's over on the left side of the screen, look for the blue name ;)

Look for the low spec PC build by March 12th and version 0.002 of FCD by April 6th.

Thanks for tuning in!
