What next? (I am waiting for at least 50 votes)

Postby Creavion » Fri Jun 15, 2012 1:09 pm

Looks like I have no idea what most players would like to see nowadays. It looks like "serious" gameplay maps are not that interesting (anymore), so instead to waste my time I ask via public poll what you would like me to do next (or soon).
Uhh, since jungle levels for UT are still rare I would stay in this section. However, I have some basic ideas for those being totally clueless.

Idea 1 - The Jungle pyramid!
Deathmatch and/or Domination: Although this is not supposed to end up like the tower of babel, I would make use of the basic ideas to build a complex however more like a pyramid with a lot of vines and entries, maybe some outdoor areas.
An example of the possible style:

Idea 2 - Far cry like multiplayer map
It would end up as a domination map. You could explore a mostly jungle like area with pathes connecting the domination points. Although you could get most of the stuff on the pathes, some other stuff is only outside located. Also some caves can be used as shortcuts. Bots can see through the foilage and vegetation, but it could be fun to surprise enemy human players.

Idea 3 - A new monsterhunt map
Most work and longest development time. The player would infiltrate a facility enforcing some kind of strange research. Before that, some jungle parts are waiting. Ruins, swamps, a river, a beach part are also possible. Try to connect Kamah and Antalius in your mind with better and nicer textures as well as Kamahs colorful level style. However: This map project needs additional scripting (nothing simple)!


Edit: Yearh, 50 votes at least! Come on! UT is old as shit, but this should be possible!

Looks bad for you paper. Well I just leave the thread open for a while (hopefully it does not disappear unnoticed).

The degree of difficulty would be pretty high, even for someone as skilled as you, but an MH map based in Siem Reap in Cambodia would put all your strengths together. Google it, you don't know you know what I'm talking about.

<waits>

See? That could be pretty awesome stuff. Transitioning from jungle to temple then back to jungle, it could be pretty original.

LOL, not only my strenghts, in fact I think the old engine would make that nearly impossible. I know such maps. I also googled a lot of screenshots of it before. At least with such temples I would quickly run out of nodes I think. But I could give a try.

I do not even play CTF. Never even tried it. Bad idea! I mostly play DM, but I also somehow like Domination because of the freedom how to add how many domination points at which points. I would need a lot of help with designing of the layout for example.

The pyramid would be only the basic idea. It would be something more detailed (also with the layout) as compared with papers map. :mrgreen:

Crev, you are teh uber 1337 when it comes to jungle maps or terrain with heavy vegetation, however, I'd like to see you try something out of your comfort zone for kicks.
If you must stick to jungles, what about a 1v1 taking place on an enormous tree? I like walking on branches :D.

Ok, some further details about the FC like map:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-7Mb7MkKw4

I think I would borrow some ideas from this map for example (like the buildings there). Maybe by controlling a certain domination point you would have the advantage of having some extra weapons closeby instead to walk around on the pathes to get them, to go back then to the control point in order to secure it again against the enemy team.


@Renegade: Why doing that? Take Codemasters for example. They really are good with racing games, they even renamed themself recently just to make that clear. I mean: What taking else? We have plenty of industrial maps for example and people still want to see new jungle stuff as it seems.
BTW: You think something as like Tokara Forest from ut2004? A treetop village?

I voted for the pyramid, because there are too little in Unreal. And to disburden you :lol:

I hope I get at least 50 votes for this poll. This should give me an impression of what most people want, if the poll does not progress in an other direction suddently.
