Your idea is good and can still be used. Right now the most important thing is figuring out a budget-friendly phase 1 that's also safe for spawning.

If I had my old forging team helping me it probably would have been done 2 months ago.

With that said, I've developed the aesthetic palette significantly since this thread's postdate and I wouldn't trade any of it for a lesser version.

As I've been saying, we're almost there. And when I say that I mean that the perfect layout is gradually building itself. We've gone from huge streets and close spawns to small streets and further away spawns. Awesome aesthetics like the elevators, the gates, and the plaza wouldn't have been included had the map been finished months ago.

I can't wait to finish cause it's going to be so much fun to play on. But it takes baby steps. The spawning area has been perfected and neutral space is pretty much sold around that plaza. Now we just need to figure out where to go from there.

I figured out how to build the supply cache too. It's gonna face the attackers instead of facing defenders or being on its side. On either side of the cache I'll put entrances to a building that houses the elevator shaft. Now just splash a little more CQB onto that mix and we get a solid first phase. The trick after that is 3rd phase and figuring out how that'll be set up. I'm trying to use the least amount of budget on phase 1 as I can. If it dips below 6000 then I need to redesign it. I'm saving 1000 bucks for misc items, 1000 for vehicles and weapons, and 5000 for decorative pieces. That leaves me with 3000 for platforms, blocks, inclines, walls, and rocks.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I seriously want to see this map.

No peeking. Unless you're okay with long load times and Goat occasionally asking for input or stopping to draw.

Goat, next time I'm online i'll toss you an invite. If you want to toss ideas off me I'd be glad to help.

I'm going to be on around 8pm EST on various days to give you a better idea. :D. See ya' on the box.

That's the last part. The name has to capture the flavor of the map and this one doesn't have one yet.

I really appreciate you guys helping by the way. The stream is a lot of fun and it's speeding up this process.

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

Our random conversations speed up the process?

Herp derp.

So you say, without the stream, this would be a lot longer?

Map designs don't work alone (except for that guy who built all the CE maps in a week...supposedly)

It's good to bounce ideas off of you all.

UPDATE:

As much as it pains me to say, the project has been suspended. A new month is coming and the map still hasn't been completed. It's come to a rather frustrating impasse in the design which would require collaborative efforts to overcome. I've exhausted too much valuable time trying to work around the problems myself. 3 months to work on one map is ridiculous.

It hasn't been scrapped, but rather delayed for another time. Hopefully I'll come back to it with fresh ideas.


With that said, CE Invasion is currently in the works and will be ready for playtesting this weekend. And this will be done in 3 days, not 3 months. Also, the Covie Watchtower is coming back! :D

I will, 'cept it'll just be a different map. This one is needs a fresh outlook and I'm not gonna get it by rage forging for months.

Let me build a working Invasion map first before I attempt to build one as ambitious as this.

Herp derp.

I meant this: You said you'd be done with that CEA map today.

Also, y u no stream?

I have to load up the capture card software to take pix of a few concepts. It'll be back on.

And ya I should be done with the CE map once I figure out where to build it.

So am I. It's very frustrating having to redesign a map 3 times a day for 3 months.

The CE one will still be great though. I get to use a slew of new aesthetics, including my prized cove watch tower :)
