New custom map on the way

Postby Breli » Tue Jul 26, 2005 8:50 pm

Hi avid WQ fans!

A couple of days ago, I started to create a custom map for WQ which is about to get released very soon. I can't promise to get it finished until the weekend, but I'll try. So, here is a sneak preview.

Technically, this map is far from perfect, since it is the first map I've ever made. So there are a lot of issues you'll find in section "Things to avoid" in the tutorials. Nevertheless, it runs and the first private tests were real fun :D. I learned a lot about mapping. I promise that the next map will be in a better shape ...

So, what can you expect? Here are the AQ (anticipated questions)

What's the maps theme?
It is some kind of a fort at night ;). It isn't inspired by a movie or something (at least I am not aware of such an influence ;) I guess the gameplay is somewhat different from the original maps. There are a lot of places to hide, dark corners, rooms, windows to shot through, cliffs and ladders to crawl along ... Think of it as a variant of Tillian concerning size and gameplay.

How large is it?
Spatially, quite small. However, it is quite unclear since there are so many places to hide. I guess it works fine with 4-6 players.

Which Gametypes?
Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch + Round Teamplay

What about bot support?
Yes. It is possible to include easy prey. But I have to work on it right now. Sometimes, those lazy guys just stand around and contemplate about the meaning of their virtual life ...

A couple of screens which should give you an idea about what to expect from the map:

Ok, that's about all for now. Stay tuned ...

I have seen this map and it is pretty interesting. I am no expert but I think this looks like a good map... especially since it is his first try. I look forward to the release! :D
