PLR Frostfell

Welcome to Frostfell!

Does your drink have ice cubes? Do you know where they come from? No? Then here's the answer!

Welcome to Frostfell!

We deliver best ice cubes in the world and we're proud of it! Our ice cubes are mined from deep withing the frostfell and are delivered by mine tracks through hills and dynamic doors and more hills. Why? Because it's cold out there and our ice cubes have extra flavor*.

*May contain blood, bones and traces of battle

Huge thanks to my friend Tero Isoniemi for bug hunting and suggestions!!

Let me just say I'm incredibly sad I didn't think of this name first, because I really like it.

[Fr0Z3n]

The hallways might be a little too tight for the cart to slip through with people pushing on the sides, but I'd need to run through it to check.

[Tom Hoen]

Alpha 1 released. Should get this tested soon!

[Fr0Z3n]

I only played about 10 minutes of this map, but I liked what I saw. I felt though the exterior area's were very jagged and I was constantly looking upwards. All in all though, a very good start.


I think I left feedback in the system too.

[Tom Hoen]

Thanks Fr0Z3n for your supporting words. I will make some changes and try somehow make it more obvious where the cart is in the beginning. Also I suck at displacements but I'll improve them for sure. I may have time to map near weekend so I'll post some images then.

[Tom Hoen]

Thinking of changing my layout to this (Left is new layout and right is the old):

At the moment I feel that my endings are too far away from each others and this doesn't put pressure in the end. In the new design there would be hearts beating as both teams could see each others pushing towards the end.

Also I thought maybe the end could be same point for both and winning team would lauch their cart in the air and have huge fireworks yelling their name and colors.


-----EDIT----
I'll edit this to thanks Fr0Z3n for his post under this. I totally had forgotten the fog

[Fr0Z3n]

I like the "both teams final points are the same" Its much like pipeline final ... not too sure about the fireworks.


Also, for future reference, when taking overhead shots, in console, if you turn fog_enable 0 and fog_override 1 (it is whatever is opposite of the stock defaults they give you) ... you can get rid of the over head fog and have a clearer view of the map.

[Fr0Z3n]

here is your feedback

And here is your demo


(p.s, I like this map. You need to work on your displacements so they aren't so rough. Smooth them out.)

map was cool. felt a bit open in some places, but overall quite good.
