Antiquity B18

B17 -> B18 Changelog

Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=960317656

Changes: http://antiquity.necrotalesgames.com/changes-antiquity-b17-to-b18.php

GAMEPLAY

• Removed a wall near upper ruins entrance to last point
• Removed platforms at Mid that had small healthkits
• Widened upper and lower corner entrances to Mid
• Added small wood pile on 2nd
• Added wooden stairs to raised platform at 2nd -> Mid area
• Made raised entrance from 2nd -> Mid into a split one
• Large entrance to 2nd from Mid moved to Garden side, area inside made more roomy

AESTHETICS

• Fixed some visual bugs with brushwork in various spots
• Removed floating lights from one of RED's lobby entrances
• Fixed a displacement problem near MID & near garden
• Added fence to out of bounds area between mid & garden to clarify where it begins

OPTIMIZATION

• Removed errant appearance settings that was on some torch lights
• General hint brush pass across all areas of the map
• Adjusted areaportal positioning

Unless a serious bug or framerate problem is reported, the next update will likely be minor beauty updates (I want hydra statues on the long stair well and some particle effects on the faces under mid & 2nd) and whatever changes comp folks give me.

B16 -> B17 Changelog

GAMEPLAY

• * Fixed a clipping issue on fence at exit at last spawns

• * Fixed some texture misalignments
• * Fixed a couple of floating bushes

Mostly bug fixes. Only one visually representable change:

Added the b16-to-b17 page just for the sake of being a completionist.

This could probably be subtitled the "b4nny suggested this" update since I pretty much did almost everything he mentioned when he walked the map on stream. Updated in the workshop, too.

WORKSHOP SUBMISSION LINK

Completely revised and updated with new assets, a new look, easier routes, less crap to bump into, the works.

If you're familiar with the old layout, you will be familiar with the new as well, with some notable exceptions and changes:

* Additional connections to make team rotations easier,
* Changed the cover on last and removed half of the large obstructing structure (lot of complaints about sentry spots here)
* Mid and 2nd are both raised control points now, to address various game dynamic issues
* Additional and easier access to the top of the temple at mid
* All spawns and forward spawns now have two exits
* That annoying ditch and tunnel at second has been removed entirely
* The garden area leads more directly to and from the 2nd point
* Completely revamped artstyle! Now the place actually looks more like Ankor Wat!
* ...and a bunch of other things too numerous to mention
