Frostbyte's Base Raiders (Alpha Testing)

[steady obsidian]

I figured I should make an offical project post here for it.

This is a remake of my old map from 2022, the goal of the game is to reach the enemy team's base, and touch the Goalpoint in their treasure room.

The map features jump pads for movement shenanigans, bricks that swap and replace your weapons and a pick your weapon starter system (Low teir but still useful weapons)

Im hoping to get it done by the 29th when the sale drops, we are nearing completion and thankfully with some help by:

KeyboardCombination (Terrain editing, Optimization, Moveable Flags)
Marhathor (Landscaping, Logic Solving)

I'll be trying to host more often, usually im on during the day from morning to afternoon PST most days (Sun-Thurs) as I work in the evenings, but on my days off, so long as im not busy I can host longer (Friday-Saturday)

Currently there is still a good chunk left to do, but should be done soon

If you want to swing by when the server is open, I can post a notification here, Im always open to chat ingame

Below I'll be posting the map progress in order to see how far things have come since starting:

Castle's building progress

Comparison in size to old map

A redone front gate

Near current state and a weapon brick

Potential full size once done, its jsut mirrored

Some slightly older screens, the gyser, waterfall area (with a secret) and the ravine/tunnel area

The most current screenshots as of just now:

Looks great!

Jump Pad video showing movement and how weapon bricks (logic wise) work

Earlier vids showing off some more moveable stuff and spawn room

You can do trickshots and 360 noscope mid air with the jumpads

Currently the starting weapons are:

Lever Action, Stamped SMG and Pump Shotgun, also a Guard Pistol

Better weapons are hidden and the closer to the middle tower are really good ones too, its up to you what to do with them

May even include a Rocket Jumper, theres gonna be a big focus on movement and experimentation

Hosting atm if anyone is curious

[steady obsidian]

No pics taken of it, but the underground route was compelted today, full of weapons and a bit of a maze, but it can take you directly to the courtyard of the castle

Working on this again, been a while

Frostbyte's Base Raiders (Alpha Testing)

The map is finally complete

Current map walkthrough

[deft stump]

oh hey this was completely different to the map i played lmaoo

very cool tho

[steady obsidian]

Yeah, turns out the new map didnt play well compared to the old one, I dont mind hosting the new one sometime though if people want to but its too large and the rounds kinda go on

Im proud I got it done though, learned alot from this ngl

[deft stump]

might go hard with higher player counts and vehicles once they get refined a little

im thinking Big Team Battle like halo

[steady obsidian]

The map could work but it needs alot of refinement, not impossible, but with the current game tools its tricky, honestly the map layout went in without a plan and the cracks started to show.

[steady obsidian]

Never played Halo but I think I get the idea

[deft stump]

How about using more teleports to get around quicker?

[steady obsidian]

The problem isnt so much the movement its the placement of the goal, the map is big and the pads are meant to be for traversal but it makes things kinda ignored

Again, I dont mind hosting this with some stuff one day but it just wasnt flowing as well as I thought

[steady obsidian]

@deft stump So good news, Im going to look into the map again after some consideration today and make some adjustments then re host it again at somepoint
