WiP in WiP, post your screenshots!

level design 101, don't designer areas with specific classes in mind, mostly certain areas develop as certain class hot-spots naturally. Designing purposefully for certain classes inherently make them OP, especially sniper ledges. Worst case scenario you have to specifically nerf a sniper sight line, other than that, dictating engi-nests with ammo drops is the only consideration you need (and in 5cp that's pretty irrelevent).

P.S. Your map is frickin huge. You should half its scale at least.

Maybe read this.

Sorry mate, but that water and that massive height difference will still suck.

 

[soylent robot]

making an obvious route to take just gives a more obvious route for snipers to aim at
and all your cover down there is made of props. it will be terribad to optimise

How do you even cope with that many angled walls and buildings? I'd get so lost making it.

Been working on Frostfell alpha 2 today. Redid starting location for cart, now it's more visible

 

[soylent robot]

bit of fiddling with stage 2 on sandblast. the cart takes a bit longer to get to the cap, and red has another spot to put a sentry. also removed the wood bridghe that allowed blu to attack to easily, and put in a secondary flanking route as a replacement

also jiggled the seperate stages into this arrangement!

Does that look like Trogdor the Burninator to anyone else?

Now that's a lot of angles, even more than I attempt now, and I like my angles:O

pl_clifftop_a2 now with at least 80% less eyebleed!

Area above my first point:

The doors on the ground unlock and become a dropdown once the cart has reached a certain point in the map.

That ledge above the first rock in the foreground is super exposed, you should chuck a whole bunch more of those rocks onto it's edges for cover. I believe that'd be of benefit to both directions, looking down the hill and off around the corner on the right.

I was productive this morning.

Idk, you just need to draw it in your head before to do that on the grid, it's pretty easy but it need more work than usually

How do you build them on angles? As far as I know, the only way is to either build them on-grid and skew them diagonally, or build them on-grid and rotate them. I suppose one could also use the vertex tool.

Personnaly I'm using the cliping and the vertex tool. I just put a brush approximatively and clip it, to modify the brush after i'm using the vertex tools.

Lifts were too complicated for Payload Race, so I have ramps now! They fit more into the Egypt theme anyway.

 

[Fruity Snacks]

I like that.
