Help me make this map better :D

Ello!

I am making a cave map for my game but it is pretty dark right now which makes it hard to see. I could just light the whole place up but then it wouldn’t feel very realistic. Any ideas?

Hey! Your map looks really cool.

Here are some ideas to improve it:

Use local light sources
Add fog
Add particle effects
Use color variation
Tweak ambient lighting

add torches to the walls

Add some twists to the river, more height variation would help a lot with filling the space, large rock pillars that run up to the ceiling

These are all fantastic ideas! I am going to incorporate them soon and then share the finished product

Ello! I finished the cave map. Thanks for all of your suggestions! It looks way better now. Unfortunately I couldn’t include all of them like adding height variation because the players need enough room to chase each-other

Take inspiration from Skyrim caves, those look so cool (your build too).



The last two are called Blackreach if u want to search more pictures.

Those look really cool! My game is a kind of tag game though so it needs to have flat open spaces. The style is also anime so we can’t make it to realistic either. But I really like those caves, if I make another game in a different style I will definitely come back to this post
