An enormous buckwheel excavator on the surface of Venus!
DM-Bagger was born out of the Interlopers forums, which is a Valve mapping community, when somebody suggested this behemoth of a machine (the bucketwheel excavator) as a map.
I started and scrapped a HL2DM map based on the concept, but when I saw UT3, I knew that was the game for it. And how - I only found out when I was already 50% on the development of Bagger that Epic did a similar bucketwheel excavator for WAR-PowerSurge!
I just want to emphasize I did not steal their idea or map, it's a different game-type and it's a different layout. It is entirely unique.
Inspiration was drawn from the Bagger 288 currently mining in Tagebau Garzweiler, Germany.
I submitted this map for Phase 1 but alas did not win anything nor receive an honorable mention, I hope through this Second Edition I can grab a spot on the winners list of Phase 3. I really honed and refined this map on just about every area a map CAN be honed.
Have fun!!
