ARENA Yunshu

[Bakscratch]

The gameplay of this map is focused around having an asymmetrical arena map, where the blu starts in the subways maintenance rooms and the red starts in the shopping squares above the subway.

Its base in a small road behind some shops where the shipment are delivered to the shops, a disaster has also reveled the subway system below the road which has now turned into the worlds hottest death trade arena.

Any problems leave them below or you can send me a message if you got any questions.

Also big thanks to Aly for her amazing quick and awesome models she did for me

The capture point being down below and it being open on top now is interesting. Big change from the last version I played recently.

Pulls off asymmetry really well.

Just a little update for the art of the map, Was having idea about something like this. But I might go more industrial what do you think?

Unless anyone has and big layout changes I might just move into beta.

looks great, but the alpine sky texture is questionable imho

Todays visual update worked on the area around red spawn.

Also got some food props from in from Aly

Watch the density of detail! Your upper areas are so detailed they draw the eye away from the gameplay areas a lot! Soho is NOT a good example in this case.

One thing that concerns me with this and any other map that's copying the Soho style: Do you know what all of the signs mean? Because they're not just random stuff; they were actually meant to match the kinds of buildings they were attached to in Kong King. The wiki lists off some of them, but not all, unfortunately. I'm just imagining someone who's fluent in Chinese playing this map and laughing that the convenience store has a sign that says "AUTO PARTS" or something on it. I'm just saying, you'd never be that casual about signs that are in English.

And this map in particular seems to have a lot of repetition, with the same sign appearing on several different buildings. If nothing else, that seems like it'd really stand out as being implausible even to people who don't know what they mean.

I love the detail work, you nailed a day-time soho theme without using the large scale buildings in koth_king. I like the more rural feel to it too. Nice chinese overlays too, they appear to be gritty and worn which is cool. The little boxes and other products seem neat as well. Good work

[Bakscratch]

DONE, its up to a standard which I am very happy with. The entire map is now Detail, the only downside is the optimization which I may need help with. But other than that its there B3 will be out really soon!
