Canvas Map: Forge World

Last Updated: 3/6/12

Status: Complete, looking for advice on making it better.

Screenshots: My screenshots are on Imgur. Heres a link to the album: Album

Description: Up-draft is a symmetrical map built for those smaller lobbies of 2-6 people and works well with the gametypes assosiated in team doubles. due to a lack of power weapons like the shotgun, sword, and rocket this map makes you rely on your skill over that of another player. The only power weapon on this map is a grenade launcher. The Plasma Coils where placed with the idea in mind to blind opponents not to kill them but its a nice side-effect.

Other Notes: This map was originally called "The Underground". I changed it to Up-Draft to signify the upwards motion of the map. I was told the flat ceiling and grey walls where bothering those that played the map so i asked my friend and forging buddy neonzypher7 to come in and try to add some color to the walls. together we added the rock blocked door ways, and the decorations on the bottom floor walls. I removed the ceiling and expanded the top floor out a little ways.People got annoyed with teleporter camping so i decided to prevent this, so as soon as you go through the teleporter your ejected from the exit preventing anyone from assassination camping it. I have put alot of effort into this map to try and make things right and make as little spawn trapping as possible.

Budget Remaining: roughly $1500

Overall performance: No Z-Fighting that i have found.

Split Screen Framerate Rating: hasnt been tested yet.
