I'm currently working on a Domination Map (Akin to Cliffhanger) called AirGlass. It's very early in development ATM & I'm currently stuck on a weird skybox issue but that's for a later discussion (Unless anyone here wants to help me with that). This one would have 7 points (As opposed to Cliffhanger's 5) & with some very noteworthy differentiators
PURPLE: Crits & Mini Crits heal you for a % of the total damage dealt, which can overheal
GREEN: Massively increased Jump Height + Reduced Gravity/Fall Speed, & Immunity to Fall Damage
YELLOW: Can summon a nearby Mini Sentry at any time (Costs a % of your current health)
I know this is a lot, which is why I'm getting all of this out there now before I go too far into Sunk Cost territory. Anything immediately alarming?
- Pizza Mirroring. I call it Pizza Mirroring because since this map is basically a giant cylinder (Which I'm having a lot of trouble trying to make as circular as possible, huy), it's as if 1/8th of the map was developed, then mirrored at a 45° angle, then mirrored again at a 90° angle, then mirrored again. I've yet to encounter a map that has this kind of mirroring, & I'd like to give it a whirl, hopefully bring such concept into positive light
- Size & Verticality. This is quite a giant map, with 2 of the 7 points being in giant rooms above & below the main area respectively. With how big Cliffhanger is even with just 5 points, this kinda comes with a territory. That said I still expect scaling this map to be quite the...how do I put it?
- The Dilemma Points. Of the 7 Domination Control Points, 4 of them (The ones in between the 4 spawn rooms) are known as Dilemma Points, because to make them distinct from each other despite their identical layouts, they each have a similar but varying gimmick known as Dilemmas. Whichever team owns a Dilemma Point gains a unique perk, but also a unique downside (Basically it's "Will you press the button?" remixed as "Will you cap the point?"). These are the 4 Dilemma Points I currently have in mind (No numbers yet, just the concepts)
