The reason for that is that APB is using it's own version of Unreal which is hard to make custom content for. I looked for easy to use architecture programs that I could use to build a city and stumbled across Sketchup!Īlso I didn't model it right away in the Unreal Engine. I didn't have any modeling knowledge (Still don't really do). All of this is from the game and was a starting point for me. I gathered a file of info about the district's lore which you can find HERE. Like I said there were lots of e-mails that cross-referenced Midtown and there is a lot of information in the game. I started the project my getting all the data that I could about Midtown. The idea however excited me and I was up for discovering more about this district! It was nothing less then a test map that never got to a playable point. However work on Midtown was never complete. You have evidence in ingame e-mails and props inside the game that Midtown is real in San Paro! However it doesn't mean that the district doesn't exist. I also loved the APB lore so when I first heard about an unreleased district for APB it was very exciting!įor those who don't know Midtown District is something that was planned and worked on in the early RTW days (RTW aka the original devs of APB).It was never used but some of the assets that were made for that map were later used in Financial district. One thing was sure though - I loved this game and always knew that it has much potential. It started like something fun that was done in my spare time and I had no idea at all if it will one day turn into something. Project Midtown was something I started back in 2015 when I was still in high school.
This is not a professional project, it's not done by the developers of the game and very likely to never be used.īut in any case I'm very excited about my work and would like to hear the community's opinions about it. I must say that I'm very excited to share this project with old followers and maybe even new ones but please TAKE ALL THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. Today I stand at a point where I can finally say that the project stands at a good spot to share again! So today it will be shared with with you what's been done so far, what I think will be the future but most of all I would like to hear the response of the community and the developers to see if my work can be actually used in APB:Reloaded or should be something fun that I've made and left aside for good. I really loved the response which was done with both praise and criticism so I decided that one day I will keep on working on this project and so I did. In my last thread I asked you guys if I should continue working on this project and what you think in general. Trough the years of development I've posted few threads both on the old APB forum and a new one about this project. It will bring a brand new area of gameplay for the players and will be a host for 2 new organizations - 1 criminal and 1 enforcer. The idea behind this work is to make a new district for APB:R which will go together with other mission districts. This is Project Midtown - A project that I started to work at back in 2015. For the past few years I've been working on something that I am really passionate about and would like to share with you today.
