Wow this looks good. I already see this getting featured on various youtube channels. You do some nice work
Played it, I like the concept but it could be better. My biggest complaint is that there are hardly any man cannons on the map which makes it hard to travel around from island to island. If they're there then they are very well hidden. The boats are really really cool but they don't control very well and can rock back and forth like crazy which will make people fall off and they can get stuck on seemingly nothing. Everyone just seemed to be having a meh time in the game. Like I said, it's a cool concept but it does need to be worked on to be fun/playable.
my new fav custom game i would love to see something like this but with smaller ships and more teams or even battleships
Thanks for the input iKampfer, i appreciate anything that improves the experience of my maps. Ive added more man cannons to each island, but its funny, people always seem to go straight for the ships without exploring around the islands whenever ive seen people play it lol. Expected more people to roam around but i guess thats not what people want. In the case of the ships, im honestly not sure how to stop the rocking. Usually when i play, it just rocks just a little. When i watched ducain play my map it played great, except for a weird bug where people had issues being able to jump onto the ship a couple of times. I feel the problem with the map is that the scorpion is so slow that it takes a while for any real combat to occur, which makes the beginning slightly boring. Maybe i should just get rid of the big island in the middle to give more room for people to attack each other since thats what people seem to like? Or maybe i should weld a banshee to it instead and make the ship faster (blocking its height with blockers mind you.) Any thoughts from the community is appreciated --- Double Post Merged, Aug 10, 2016 --- Naw man, i like your destoyable ship concept, its cool. I wish i could weld all those pallets together to a tank, but i think the game would crash lol.
Thank you so much! Any form of movement of the ships I created makes everything glitch out and crash unfortunately but I found the ships' movement in your map very natural and good looking. The overall aesthetics of your map are brilliant, and something I very much look up to.

Played this twice today and I'm happy to report that both playtests were smooth(ish). No major issues. Just stuff that's unavoidable with welded minigames.
Thank you my good man! As always, you do great work and i appreciate your feedback throughtout the testing process. Got another map for you test soon... and its going to be infection-based
