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
. 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:
