Circus (Nucleus Event) - Event version of Nucleus that takes place in a circus big top tent

Event version of Nucleus that takes place in a circus big top tent

Very early version, testing barebones mechanics and gimmicks

 

[r0nii]

this looks awesome.

A couple photos- I've just placed some props, lights and particles down onto default nucleus as a start to get a feel for the mood

This is very cool

 

[Diva Dan]

• Added more walls and spikes to some of the roofs
  • These walls should still keep jumping onto the roofs fun and viable, but limit the vision of people and sentries
• Reworked the Bonzo pit
  • Bonzo will no longer bounce you back up, instead, there are 4 circiling bongo drums in the pit
  • These drums slowly spin around the center point, and knock you back onto the battle field, away from the capture point
  • If you miss one of the bongos, the Bonzo pit will kill you
• New Respawn room visualizer placement
  • The invisible respawn room walls have been pushed forward for both teams
  • Placement of new barriers will hinder a flanker's rotation outside of spawn, and allow for a bit more safety when pushing out while still being open for attack
• Jump pads updated
  • Air strafing now kicks in after around a second of flight. Players still have influence in their flight, but is slightly more predictable
  • Triggers have been made smaller to lower the chances of accidental flinging
• Capture time has been halved
  • This change was done to encourage capturing the objective instead of dominating the enemy's spawn
• Added a long fall pit in the main launch pad room
• Fixed overblown light glow sprites
• Fixed Bonzo playing his puke sounds twice
• A ghost now rests on top of the control point roof, preventing players from attacking on top

Putting something in a death pit that can more or less randomly save you is pretty clever actually.

• Map is now Player Destruction
  
  • 30 second capture period, 45 second fight period
    
  • At the end of every capture period, the point will close and suffocate anyone inside
    
  • There will then be a re-roll that determines an effect the hoop will provide
    
    • Speed (6s)
      
    • Mini-crits (6s)
      
    • Underworld Portal (surviving hell awards you with a buff and a core)
      
    • Bonus Ducks (gain a core)
      
    • Ubercharge (4s)
  • Each effect has a text prompt on the screen and a unique outline inside the portal
• Undid respawn room visualizer changes
  
• Fixed cubemaps
  
• Updated stairs to use block bullet colliders instead of player clips
  
• Updated Railings to be non-solid and have player clip colliders
  
• Removed some large walls added in a2
  
• Fixed some floating balloon bombs
  
• Fixed a broken trigger causing players not to be hurt when standing inside the hoop
  
• Fixed missing overlays on the jump pads
  
• Various details

So now that Graveyard is finally done, you gonna come back to this? hah

 

[Huwareyou]

arena -> player destruction is epic and cool

 

[ShadowMan44]

I'm glad you changed this to PD over KoTH. I would love to see Nucleus itself get made into a PD map for casual.

Good luck on getting this finished next year (if you are).

 

[Diva Dan]

Circus A4 Notes

• Added more spawn exits for each team
  • You now spawn outside the map in front of 3 traincars
  • Each open cab on the train represents a spawn exit you can select, including two new spawns for each team
  • Stepping in a train car will teleport you to the appropriate spawn and give you a brief duration of ubercharge and speed to combat spawn camping
  • You can walk backwards in any spawnroom to take yourself back to the traincars
• Lowered...

I'm so glad you're picking this back up again! I love the use of the Merasmus booth, it doesn't feel forced or out of place like a lot of times I've seen it be used for custom halloween. Merasmus is going to be the announcer for this map right?

 

[Diva Dan]

Yeah merasmus announcer with maaaaaaaybe a custom one if im not too pressed
