The idea behind the map is that it is basically a smaller, alpine Dustbowl.
There are 3 control points, which RED must defend from BLU. They must be captured sequentially and each later point becomes harder for BLU to capture. (Not too exciting of a concept, but go with me on it.)
Rather than describe it to you, here's a pictoral tour of it:
BLU starts right below me in this pic. This first area is not meant to be hard.
A lot of the area surrounding the first and second point happens to be very Scout-friendly. Both hills here allow Scouts to access areas other classes have trouble reaching.
The first actual point. None too exciting.
The area before the second control point. Many entrances as well as a train. This area is even more Scout-friendly, due to the way the control point is set up:
An open-aired control point with many, many entrances. Here you can also see the little decoration I have done so far. To the right is RED's initial spawn area, while to the left is BLU's forward spawn.
Then the area leading up to the final point. Bottleneck Central. Get your demomen out.
And the final control point. RED's final spawn is right behind me in this pic. This area's designed to be impenetrable with two or three sentries.
AS PER REQUEST:
THE LAYOUT.
A, B, and C refer to the points in their order. As noted in the image, the spawn rooms slowly move forward in the map as shown. Also, there are a shit-ton of trees in the map.
The second pic, I felt the first one wasn't doing justice to the actual flow of the map, so I use my epic Photoshop skills to paint some lines and make 'em pretty.
As I have noted, there are many tiny paths hidden away. Also, there are some areas that I didn't include in the flow- these are just hide-away areas, such as to the lower-left of Point A, there is a dead-end room meant for sneaky engineers.
Things still needing to be done:
*Thicken the f#*%ing walls.
*Build the goddamn cubemaps.
*Make it balanced.
*Make the chokepoint between B and C less of a chokepoint.
*Completely change the overall layout of the area around B.
*Make stairs less bumpy.
*Add more details.
*Make it pretty.
*Fix any bugs (I know of one, possibly two. This is why it needs playtesting!)
*Optimize the shit out of PortalFlow. (Some progress has been done here.)
Currently I am regressing the textures and decoration so that the map may be more easily manipulated and more likely to be critiqued.
Hope to play it with yall!
