Past 72hr Jam Entry Agate a3b

had a low player count test, did notice some minor things, updating map to a minor version before retesting

General changes:

• fixed somehow duplicated goal strings being fired in separate logic autos

Blu spawn to A changes:

• Opened up more space by punching through existing geo for blu to play around and push red easier out of their spawn yard

A changes:

• reduced ammo to side of the point to be medium
• added missing spec cams on A

minor update after playtest

General changes:

• Lowered BLU respawn time after A point capture
• Upped some of the ammo crate pickups to be higher instead

BLU to A changes:

• Experimenting with player flow changes with the center building. Probably not necessary at all, but just messing around

A changes:

• Played around with the area opposite to the point to make it more varied and more desirable as a holding point
• Extended blu forward spawn area to hopefully reduce spawncamping

A to B changes:

• Opened up an additional door so it's easier for BLU to push into the flank route

Observations from a2 playtesting:

A played fine for the most part, a lot less people used a big cylindrical area than expected, probably going to be a hassle to maintain so it's scrapped in this version. That area, the building route next to A and the outlook on to the starting area for Blu is adjusted to be more straightforward and have more space to play around and defend for Red.

B was too long to reach for Blu, wasn't happy with the gameplay space present there either. Reworked B again.

Changes:

• Reworked cliff area outlooking to Blu starting area to be more straightforward for Blu and have more space for Red to defend

• Changed side area beside A to be flatter and more direct

• Changed Building to the right of A to simplify player flow

• Reworked B

Overall, a lot of major changes, it's been a while I can't remember it all

• BLU spawn to A changes
  • reworked spawn yard to be more varied
  • added side route to encourage BLU to use the right route as an additional option besides pushing from main choke
  • enlarged general playspace to make it feel less claustrophobic
  • 

• A point changes
  • Red Forward spawn relocated to be slightly further away from point
  • Flipped ramp access for BLU to approach point easier
  • Added fun waterfall deathpit :3
  • 

• A to B changes
  • remade lobby after A point in an effort to hopefully reduce red holding more forward than intended
  • BLU forward spawn moved slightly more back and have an additional exit
  • Lengthened A to B in general with an additional lobby before B
  • 

• B changes
  • Overhauled B with new design
  • Moved RED spawn to the side of the point instead of directly behind so that spawn doors aren't too split apart
  • 

(first map update in a long while that didn't take a year plus to do weeeee)

Just minor changes to get it ready for a playtest:

• Fixed some logic with signs
• Minor route adjustment near A
