Still working on Atheist... Kind of tough to co forge something when you don't... forge together. Just released Outaw.
Those look great, Noooooch. Hopefully I'll get to play them one day. As for myself, I'm about ready to release Xiphos after a crazy late night update with the wonderful Dax. Elliot and I are also working on a super secret project, more on that when we get our first test out of the way.
Played the Forge Island variant of Athiest last night... Gotta say, I like it much more than lag-city. Oh, and a bunch of us busted War's balls for pretty much letting Nooooch adopt the map, then coming back to it. Lololololol.
I'd like to get a closer look at what you have going on in the middle and on purple side. They look interesting. Is this in your fileshare? Also, designing this for 4v4?
That looks nice, Squeak. Really loving the purple area. Might steal that in some fashion! haha! I've had similar issues in the past with spawning bases, they can be difficult to design. I look forward to what comes of this. Also, I've released Xiphos in the map forums.
Very pretty map, Squeak - and it looks like it might play well too. I'd be curious to try that one out. And not a lot of maps catch my eye anymore. You have a strong sense of design.
I played on it.. it's quite big. I had a tough time finding the other guy and only really got any kills because he made positioning mistakes. Other than that it was good, speed boost plus suppressor is an insane combo
Speed boost and suppressor is by far the least broken stack you can do in this game. I cannot make a 1v1/2v2 with out it. It is an especially good stack for a room based map because of the way speed boost promotes movement. Back to lurk village for me.
Haha, I love that combo. As for the size and finding people It does happen at times, but I rarely found that issue in my tests. Its certainly something to keep an eye out for and I'll be watching to see what others say, but as it stands I'm happy with the size. I didnt want the map to play super fast anyway and some of the weapons and sightlines make the map feel smaller I think.
Don't get me wrong, I still think two suppressors as the main power weapons on a map is stupid. IMO two of any power weapon on such a small map is silly when the map could require mastery over more types of weapons. One suppressor and a nearby Speed Boost isn't nearly as stupid (it's one of the only non-laughable uses of the suppressor IMO) although still annoying because suppressor when we have like 30 guns. Might as well speed boost + boltshot, no annoying large bloom. It would probably be more effective than Speed + suppressor..
Still making about a million changes to Novus. Pretty happy with how it's going so far though. Couldn't have done without the help of Forge Hub. The other forums weren't as helpful. Didn't get as much feedback from them compared to how much I got from here. Thanks guys.
This map isnt finished and it doesnt have a name. I would like for forgers to give me some feedback on my map and give constructive criticism. Its looking to be a solid map and i would love for others to enjoy it when its finished. Thank you. If i could get some help i would be very grateful. =]
