a31 Minor changes

Happy New Year!
This version aims to make the water house in area B more important and attractive, and help blue secure their lobby better in area B. I am satisfied that area A is well-balanced, I don't think any further major changes will be made gameplay-wise for area A.

Changes include:

• Added windows to area B water house to make it more attractive and interesting to go into.
• Added a set of medium health and ammo to the rafters of area B water house.
• Opened up a gap in...

a32 Minor changes

Based on what I observed in the playtest and feedback received, the following changes have been made:
The main goal of this version is to increase the Red team win rate, primarily through decreasing the time available.

• Added more cover in area B to block sneaky, long sightlines.
• Adjusted the size of pickups in area A and B somewhat.
• Decreased the amount of time added when area A is captured by 30 seconds.
• Reduced the maximum amount of time available from 9 mins down to 7...

A34 Major changes

I'm still at it.

After careful consideration with the problems in area B, I have decided that the issues there are too fundamental to be solved with many small changes, and instead a total redesign is necessary.

• Completely redesigned area B.
• Minor geometry changes to area A.
• Minor pickup changes to area A.
• Increased the time available to capture area B from 4 mins to 4 mins 30 seconds.

a35 Minor changes

Thank you to all the playtesters who left feedback during the previous playtest.
Based on what I felt and observed during the playtest, watching the demo replay and reading the written feedback, the following changes have been made:

• Area B has been scaled down.
• The opening to area B from Red spawn 1 lobby, and Red spawn 1 lobby itself has changed.
• Blue spawn has had an aesthetic overhaul.
• Pickups in area A have changed slightly.
• The third route out of red spawn, close...

GigaBite updated Eureka Mine stage 2 with a new update entry:

a36 ad hoc minor change

Before playtesting, I decided on a worthwhile improvement to make to a35.

• Made an adjustment to the area B last defense structure to re-introduce a third route, which will hopefully be too claustrophobic to enable spawncaming, block nasty sightlines and provide an alternative way out of red spawn.

ever try putting thios into an underground cave setting - or parts of it?

 

[GigaBite]

I wonder if it's just a coincidence or not that you said this. Because I was always planning to have stage 3 be set in a partially, or completely underground base. I'd like to have the end of stage 2 lead to an entrance into stage 3.

 

[Kill_the_Bug]

I only thought of if because the map name has a mine in it but it's all above ground

a37 minor changes

Based on what I experienced during the playtest, and what I read from feedback, I have made a few more changes.
I can't think of much else that needs to change, so I think beta phase is coming soon for stage 2.
Changes include:

• Reduced full ammo pack inside the area A barn to a medium.
• Made the barn look nicer.
• Fixed up some sneaky sightlines with the crates and barrels on the right side of the area B underpass.
• Changed the position of a window in the area A barn to better...

a38 Minor changes

Based on what I saw in the previous playtest the following changes have been made:

• Changed the hallway left side building before the underpass in area B. The entrance has moved and there is now a platform to get some height advantage over the cart and the underpass.
• In area B, made the farm shed slightly wider.
• Minor health pickup adjustments.

I'm not sure what else to change, I think stage 2 will enter Beta Phase soon.
