Title: Random Layouts
Post by: Sauce on November 18, 2011, 09:18:11 PM
     I am just making this thread similiar to the Cubic Matter thread, for random partially detailed to undetailed layouts. This is just a place to show maps in early stages and potentially fix some of it's gameplay flaws, before a lot of detailling effort is put in. This can also help people who are newer to creating layouts so they can obtain hints and tricks to improving their work, which could then in theory improve their layouts in the future. 

     Well I am going to post up one larger undetailed capture map to start. It is capture, so no need to tell me it's too big. It was made with Peterpan and Superman. :D I will try to post some smaller to medium sized maps to in the future, I just like making capture maps for some reason. I am not an expert either at this process, so I hope to improve as well. I try to make the layouts playable, and do temporary lights (that is why they are terrible, not real lights) just so you can play test a bit. The wpt works ok, but I'll redo that after as well. I think it's good to have your layout playable before detailed to see how it will play, and what just doesn't work in game play can be discarded easily. Anyways, enjoy.

 Look, I think a random layouts thread is good... ok, it doesn't have to be similiar to cm, ok. haha
I am going to weight lift for awhile, maybe we can play in a bit. You should try to make a few undetailed layouts to post in here yourself eventually.

Yes, but these maps don't have to be detailed at all. You'd hope maps posted in the maps section would have some details.

Ok, alright. Don't be so sensitive, I'm not trying to upset anyone here. Anyways Hawk, that is a neat layout. I'd say to make it really good though, you'd have to remake it 25% smaller, but the pathways 25% to 50% thicker. I really like the concept, but it really needs to re done with the dimensional adjustments I suggested. Also, I don't think having it so you fall all the time is good. The paths are long and thin, so 25% smaller would shortern the paths just enough and making the paths wider would make it better to battle while travelling. Good luck man.
