Nice map bro dog, keep up the good work mannnn
|
looks sick. so many good custom maps coming out to check out
|
Looks god, but first expansions looks very easy to take, and ramp seems very small there, so people can just build at expo ramp and FE?
|
One of the first user made maps I've seen that I haven't had any major complaints with. Looks pretty solid so far, and definitely playable. Good job!
|
Love the map, how it looks and the whole abandoned theme of it. As a zerg player it reminds me of metalopolis, the whole friendly half crescent naturals expand thing. But I think that the gold expansions seem too easy to obtain and hold. There's only one choke point, and it can be reinforced quickly from your main.

Yeah, they can. The map is pretty macro oriented with some great cheese/rush opportunities (lol, proxy gateways in the los blockers)

What's wrong with FE? Lots of people already do it on Lost Temple, Blistering Sands, etc.
You make it sound like expansions are a bad thing!

It's a cool map, and it does feel a lot like Metalopolis, but with the gold expos around the exterior instead of in the middle. I think the dynamic of everything around the perimeter will work well as a 2 player map.

The 3rd at the bottom of the map is closer to the natural than the third at the top of the map (hence why mapanalyzer determines the top 3rd to be the gold instead. Besides that minor issue which should be a simple fix, 'tis a nice map.

FOR MY 100th POST I SHALL BUMP THIS THREAD FOR GREAT JUSTICE

You're welcome.
Just had another quick look around the map and I think that the choke to the gold expansions might be a bit too narrow (it's hard to tell exactly how wide it is just from the screenshots) - especially with that biodome there. At least I think that's what that doodad is called. Might be a good idea to widen that area up a little too.

Unless playtesting proves the current setup to be bad, I'll be leaving it the way it is as I intended the gold to have a narrow choke like that.

Really great map, you definitely realized the concept of my rough sketch and then improved it. Keep up the incredible work, you are directly contributing to the evolution of the game even without the Beta being up.

Thanks man, I'm glad you saw this. I was actually going to PM you the link today but looks like I don't have to :D

I've fixed the issue funcmode discovered, as well as another bug (floodlight doodad placed inside a vespene geyser making it unbuildable)
Here's version 1.1 (Will update the OP asap)

+ Show Spoiler [Hi-Res version 1.1] +
Also, I've started working on my next project: Altar of Darkness. I've produced an Alpha design, but I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'm looking for some feedback, so if you're interested in helping post in [GE] prodiG's Map Thread (Page 4), or vote in the poll inside the spoiler:
![[image loading]](http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9442/altarofdarkness2nddesig.jpg)
+ Show Spoiler [Altar of Darkness alpha design] +This is my alpha design for Altar of Darkness. What do you guys think? Should I change it or finish it? Features: Can't build in the red textured area between the natural choke and open middle area. (checkerboarded so you can place creep tumors and sensor towers, but nothing else) The cliff around the 3rds will be non-pathable Here's a poll for everyone who likes to lurk instead of post: Poll: Altar of DarknessFinish the map!

I'm really liking Redemption. Very high quality, and looks very balanced as well. Your texture work is impressive too. I could learn a thing or two from the way you textured that map. I looked at some of your other maps too. All of them are top notch! Keep up the good work man.

Thanks, I noticed Blizzard maps have an incredibly high amount of detail in them, so I try to stay on par with that. By making visually attractive and gameplay balanced maps, I know I'm catering to both casual and hardcore players (which I guarantee is why Blizzard makes their maps so detailed like they do)
On average, I think I spend 40% of my time designing, creating the terrain and map features and debugging, and the rest goes into aesthetics. For example, Altar of Darkness is for all intents and purposes ready to play just as soon as I delete the command centers. I whipped that up in an hour, and I expect to have 3-5 more hours of tinkering with the textures and doodads until I am happy.
It's worth noting that I believe I had the hardest time texturing this map. The space platform tileset is so hard to get right :/
EDIT: The OP has been updated. New map analyzer images there, the 0.5% discrepancy is because you have to add cliffs in intervals of 2x2 instead of 1x1, which is hard to design around. (one side will be one square longer than the other.)

Redemption is published and ready to be played : D
|
has this map been republished for release?
Rage.tv cup says that they will be using it but it's not up on B.net by what i can see.
|
Wow it looks pretty balanced and fun the only thing I don't really like is the position of the xel naga towers they seem kinda outta place and not really viewing anything except the fourth base. Other than that seems like a great map.

They can see that flanking route, very similar to Steppes of War.

I have to update the loadscreen, but I will find an account to get it published on tonight once I'm home from work.
