Custom Ark level - The Center 25% completion

This is a custom level I am making for the game ARK: Survival Evolved. It is currently only at 25% completed. You can currently download this map in its current state at the following link, map is currently being updated every Thursday! - steamcommunity....
I know there are several issues in the level like floating rocks, glowing rivers, etc... But the level is only 25% completed so it will be fleshed out and improved dramatically from this point!
I know the FPS in this is not so good! The frame rate in game is much better and it will also improve once I get into the actual optimization stages! Most of the fps lag comes simply from recording. I will try and post a WIP video of the map every other week!
Also I know this is a little different than the videos I normally do but as this level will be taking up all of my time for the next couple of months I will not have the time to do any quick scenes.

Thank you for another great video! That is a huge level at 25%, hey when this is complete you need to for sure play this and fly around on one of the flying dinosaurs that would be awesome.

[@evilmrfrank]

+MegaSlayer Murray Definitely plan to do some actual gameplay videos at some point when its finished :)

[@BaitotMemasa]

Wow... How this could be so beautiful ?!!

[@livius1282]

It really looks awesome. Hopefully there are enough good base spots for larger tribes to enjoy this map for a large time. Good that you cannot see us here being jealous of your talent :-)

[@evilmrfrank]

+Tonks The new grasslands/snowy areas as well as the lava biome should provide a ton of good spots for bases. Lots of flat/open areas in the new grasslands/snowy areas :) Hoping to do a new video of the update sometime after release tomorrow!

[@LetsInspireTheWorld]

You sir have some great talent! Hope to play on this when its done :D

[@UnrealEngineTutorials]

Hey I'm new to environment design, did you manually place most of the rocks and such that I see here? Did you make all these rocks yourself? Really amazing work :)

[@lewisboby7630]

You are truly gifted, good job man. How did you get so good, education?

[@evilmrfrank]

+lewis boby Education can't make you good, can only come through tons of practice and dedication :)

Hi very good man

[@CharlesDessenius]

Nice. :)

[@Krokussify]

my god

[@truhanovichkirill5478]

Cool. Do you designer Ark levels?

[@evilmrfrank]

+Truhanovich Kirill I do not work for the studio if thats what your asking. This level is a community made one :)

[@MrRollie51]

this is nice looking but where are the Dinos

[@evilmrfrank]

+Raw “Rawtee” Tee The dinos are there, I assume they just weren't spawning because they only spawn around players and the camera doesn't spawn them when its near. If you look you can see some dinos at one point in the video which is roughly around where the player was when filming :)

[@MrRollie51]

Oh okay Cool Thanks =-)

[@GabrielMarroso]

more tutorials, pls

[@blind377]

Is level design your full time job or just like a hobby kinda thing

[@evilmrfrank]

+J.P-P .K Its my full time job :)

[@OlehBezsonov]
