This isnt exactly a preview, but a preview on the layout of the map I am intending to craft for Lynxs $5000 Forge Contest. I will provide a link as the image is reasonably large, and I dont want it to be resized in the thread, as to maintain its quality. So yeh, linkage. Please leave any comments and thoughts or improvement ideas. I know its basic in design, but thats intentional. There will be more detail in the actual map itself, depending on how much my budget will allow. A few side notes: The grey area in the middle of the raised central area is a drop down to the lower floor. This will probably end up being made in the Asylum cliff area. Also forgot to put in the legend that the brown wall parts are walls that are raised to the roof. And finally, the lower area is going to have more detail than whats portrayed in the image. So yeh, please leave any feedback you may have regarding anything. Thanks guys. EDIT: Forgot to mention, again, that the top-left and bottom-right areas of the top floor are intended to be the bases. Im thinking about expanding the upper floor of each base outwards a bit more, but will see what happens when I end up forging it. And the grav-lifts on the bottom floor will launch players up into each base, underneath the upper floor area. Havent decided yet whether Im going to put a one-way shield there or not, will see how it goes when I test it. Good ideas, yes/no?
Looks pretty complex. I can't wait to see it made. There are plenty of $5000 contest contenders now, so watch out. I don't know exactly what to watch out for, but just do it.
Obviously its the other contestants, who if they get ignored for another's work, turn into hungry ninja zombie pirate robot unicorns with all the powers of the green lantern and Optimus Prime. As a side note I am eager to see this made as well, Im curious also if anything changes from your design to the actual map, and where it's going to be built. Oh please good sir (or madam, I cannot tell through text, though Ill assume sir, because statistically that would be more common) do show us your map soon!
I am about to start forging this, just thought Id jump back online for a look to see if anyone left any useful feedback. Seeming as youre the only two to have left feedback, I assume its a reasonable design, or a very terrible idea (based on the lack of replies ). I will make it as close to this design as possible though, and will eventually need to test it. Im not discriminating here, but I will advertise testing for Australian and NZ residents only, mainly because I seem to have a bit of trouble connecting to the rest of the world most of the time*. My internet connection can be tentative like that :\. Anyway, expect to see some more info and possibly screenies shortly. And yes, I am indeed a 'sir'. (*I apologize to those residents of other countries who would be willing to help me test. Id like all the help testing I can, but its hard to get accurate feedback when the game lags due to my poor connection.)
