Map Preview Mlg paladin/cerberus

[B3NW]

Hello forgehub users!

I am here to show you the progress of a project that I am currently forging with Steve and Dragull.

The maps name is undecided as of yet but we have two candidates for the name, both applicable due to the map itself, you will be able to choose yourself the names in a poll (If I have the option to but I doubt my usergroup will let me so it will have to be a tally otherwise).

I will be updating this thread with images every few days, with images of progress and things of interest :P I will also be keeping a list of names in here for people who have helped in any kind of way, from ideas to actual hands on help such as testing and in-game ideas (AKA if your with me and give me an idea).

- Backgound on map -
The map is based on the map guardian. Ive taken the best bits out of it and im merging it all into one symetrical Guardian map.

Progress

29/10/09 - Top mid with railings, bottom walkway and bottom mid complete with railings, s1 on each side is in the works.

30/10/09 - Worked on s1 walls and roof. Added a something to make the jump from between s1 (Part going to bottom mid) to s2 (Part going to top mid).

31/10/09 - Worked more on s1 & added stone collumb (right spelling?) merged bottom mid. EDIT: worked a bit more today, finnished s1, now working on the ramp up to s2, the jump up to s2 is perfect and works great.

Paladin is another word for Guardian (pronounced PA-LAH-DIN)
Cerberus is an ancient greek Guardian (pronounced KER-BER-OSS)
Note: I mispelt Cerberus as cerebus.

Oh and did I say everything on the map so far is interlocked into each other and when done, everything will be interlocked together, discounting the weapons and nades :P

I SAW IT FIRST!!!

Back on topic.

It looked really good. I think your idea for the whole map is a good one too. (maybe add in a couple of outer routes).

But you should add a picture of what it looked like when I destroyed it.

[Given To Fly]

That looks almost exactly like guardian lol, that what you're going for? because its the same thing so far, and I'm not sure of what you'll make the bases look like, but it'll probabolly be epic. Good job so far.

Thanks, that is what I have based the map on so I hope it does look like it lol. The bases are going to be s1, s2, s3 & a new area s4.

EDIT: Updating OP with layout.

I like Cerebus. Why didn't you add a poll? Too late now I suppose. If you ever need anyone for testing just add me, GT to the left.

Im a warned member and that is one of the features taken from me. It wont be untill 3 or so months untill insane will even reconsider the perm infraction on my profile, but enough of that. Thanks for reading down to the bottom, I should have added the question at the top :P TBH I prefer Paladin out of the both, but I really do like both names, so I think a poll is the best way to sort it out :)

Wow! Very impressive so far. I am just upset cause i was planning a map the had a middle area almost identical to yours. Although the rest of the map was going to be a lot different. Guess I'll be working on a new mid design during my classes next week...Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Good Luck with it

It will change but the circular structure is pretty sound. You can go ahead and use a circle middle on your map. Just because were using one shouldnt stop you! :) ALSO, any comment on the name?

First of all, I would like to say that I am pleased to see something like this. Far too many maps go without any premeditated direction. I truly dislike that attitude. This, what you've done here, is a bit past that and is going in the right direction.

I see your design there. I cannot totally tell what each part represents, but I have faith that you all do. From what I do see, it looks to me like it'll work. Theoretically, the design should make for fun gameplay. However, not much can be said about that until there is actual gameplay.

Secondly, I'd also to acknowledge the group's roles. I think it's great, having people specialize. It should bring out each others' strengths to help cover each others' weaknesses.

The picture looks good so far. It seems that your are putting the effort in, and it is working out. So, good luck with this project. If you need an extra tester, I'll gladly join.
