My map projects

[Tokyto]

Hello,

welcome to my little map project thread, where i will post my maps and maybe even some WIP

Please leave a comment and let me know if i'm doing something wrong and it needs improvements.

My first project, Diversity map (version 7 uploaded)


It's a 4v4, 10km map designed to keep players bussy and constantly fighting over territory, where you can use great variety of tactics.

Good job! It's 10x10 right ?!

[Tokyto]

Thanks

nice one!

Solid. I would love to see it improved.

I spotted reclaim covering mexes at some spots.
You enlarged many of the decals too much, to quickly cover the map I guess... but it doesn't look good.

I like the water and the rocky sides of the hills with grass tops. Looks sweet. Decals would make it perfect.
And the color gradient in the lakes looks very nice indeed. I love it.
The outline of the water bodies has also a very natural feel to it. It looks very authentic.

The layout itself I find very uninspired though.

Oh and those big ass tank tracks... imo they look damn awful... but maybe that's just me.

Thanks for the review!

I will be definitely improving it, first i will fix all the small issues (one mex off grid etc.) and then i will work on the decals as you suggested. I will try to find some replacement for the tracks too.

I will start working on it next week (exams now ). So if i have enough time, some updates should be coming in a week or so

I like the layout but hope it is more organic before release. The cliffs are too clean. Everything is too manmade. Tracks are fine

[Tokyto]

Hm, i will try some improvements

update:
So, i tried to redo a lot of Decals and it was pretty hard in many cases, becouse light is rotated 180 degrees. Anyway, i tried to get rid of all the 'too big' decals and add lot more, so i hope the visuals are much better now.

EP version of Diversity now released, as well as a little update for original one

[Tokyto]

Hello FAFers

Now that i released version 8 for Diversity (v2 for EP) and fixed lot and lot of annoying things and unbalances, i'm finally free to start off new map project! (Definitely go check it out! I completely rebalanced it. Also feel free to criticize anthing anytime!)

The Funeral Plain

Basic concept

Spoiler: show

Visuals:
- Desert map, partly inspired by Dune 2000
Gameplay:
- Very open, flat map, where contesting for territory pays off and run-bys will be a dangerous tool. This means that intel will be more then necessary and balance between air and land will be a key to victoy.
- ''Classic'' air position won't be featured in this map, as well as majority of mexes in the base for easy turtling. This map will encourage you to play actively.

Work In Progress
Currently working on heightmap, which is almost done, so i will be brushing everything and moving to texturing soon.



It's all very early stage so it might change a lot
