PL Dixie (stage 1) planning

Dixie (stage 1) - it's dixie!!! wooooahhhhh

I'm recreating Dixie's unreleased first stage from almost scratch. In the interest of fairness/honesty, this is the .vmf I'm starting with:



I'm planning on keeping a somewhat thorough development log on this project, so I'm starting this thread early and documenting my design decisions as they come up. Hopefully this will be playable by the end of the jam.

Pre-jam layout sketches. Some of these are of an intended second stage (the current second stage would become stage three). However, I'm planning on making Dixie a two stage map, so any "second" stage layouts in here are going to get merged with first stage designs. I'm not sure how that's going to happen exactly, but its the plan.
