Sandbox Indiana Inc v1

INDIANA INC v1
Taking Capture The Flag to a New Dimension​

Hey everyone, Ziggy here, relatively new to this joint, but so far it looks good, and I’ve decided to share a map myself and a friend have spent a good 20-30 hours on recently, and am looking for feedback J

The map, Indiana Inc, is a remake of my original concept Industrial Inc on Foundry, but this time built in the Crypt of Sandbox. It's first and foremost a CTF map, it was built as such, but it works surprisingly well for slayer, and an oddball variant is in the making.

Anyway, the forge team of myself(designer), StormierParadox(chief forger), StormierPython (work horse ) and StormierAlly(running customs and tests for glitches, bad spawns, balance issues, unwieldy flooring etc.), have made many maps in the past, probably now into triple figures. However, as we were about to try and get our name out, news broke of Sandbox, so we've been working away at concepts until it arrived, and now it has, we've finally decided to give it a crack.

Now, enough self indulgent waffle and ego flattering tripe, onto the map.

Indiana Inc is a 5 story high,middle sized (utilises every inch of space in the crypt) CTF map, which gives players the option to play the map any way they want, with a large selection of vehicles, weapons and equipment strewn across the playing field.

The set up is this, two 4 story(I'm sure I’m spelling this wrong or something) bases, with a small courtyard between them at ground level, a laser platform between them left of the bases at 4th floor level, and an interconnecting bridge on an elevated 5th level, which offers another method of travel between the bases. The bridge is very open however, and players should be wary when crossing. (How bloody cheesy is that, christ I need to cut down on cliches)

The bases are almost symmetrical, with minor differences and alterations in each, but nothing that sacrifices balance.

The map so far has been played by around 20-30 people, and so far, genuinely, not a bad word has been spoken, except for one extremely agitating neutral spawn which we have now fixed ^_^

Also, before we get to the juicy details after about 1000 words of china wallage, there are some interesting "changes" that occur as the rounds wear on.

I'll explain in due course, as I give the details.

Here’s a few more screenshots to help you make up you mind if your undecided on whether to download the map and gametype.


















That’s right, I said gametype. Indiana Inc comes coupled with the original Industrial Flag gametype, which comes largely unchanged from its last incantation. However, seeing as the last version was only played by perhaps 40-50 friends overall, I think it’s only fair to fill you in on the specs of the game mode.

Anyway, thats basically all the details, if anyone has any questions, critique or suggestions, feel free to give them

Thanks for listening yall, Zig

 

Thanks you very much Good to see the air vehicles being a point of interest so far

EDIT- Just found a second golfclub by the Warthog that wasnt meant to placed at all, its been removed and renamed as Indiana Inc v1, Im just editing everything as quickly as possible to making v1 the fileshare version etc

 

Haha cheers bro ^_^ Get yourself an avatar

Also that was hilarious, that'll teach gorimj to hover in a hornet

Anyway, thats the problem with 3v3, too many power weapons to go around, it is primarily a 5v5 or 6v6 map, but to be honest the air domination was less about it being overpowered, more Ally sucking bad with the laser and Hype getting in behind to waste the rockets ^_^

 

I cant help but notice someone who posted a very constructive/positive 4/5 reviews had had their post deleted or removed it themselves? Any clue why?

Also, any more comments would be appreciated

 

Me and the lads put a lot of work into this, shame theres been no feedback for a few weeks, anything more would be greatly appreciated
