gg_drillyard - Need Beta Testers
Carrow
I've been working on a GunGame map and would like to see if anyone would be interested in play testing it. I am currently interested in how the layout of the map plays, the details are not too important right now.

This map follows the typical Iceworld layout. I added in a second floor in the center four "blocks" of the map. I feel it opens up some fighting for the inside instead of people rushing the sides. The map is med to large; it can hold 64 players comfortably. I tried to bring the map into a real life location, nowhere specific, but inspiration pulled from the industrial style.

I still have much to do, yet before I go further I would like to see what others say about the gameplay.

VERSION TWO UPDATE:

I don't feel like I did too much with this update, but since I added to change the map dynamic quite a bit.
1- Lighting, I changed it up a bit, turned up the ambient and played with the colors. The HDR I took out completely, it was a little too bright on the snow for my taste and I would like to keep the cold blue feel. Even when I halved the HDR it still was blinding.
2- Metal containers and crates! I added them fucking everywhere.. Not really, just enough to provide some cover and allow movement between the building interiors. If anyone else comes up with something better to replace either any crates or the metal containers let me know. As a side note, I was thinking of making the open metal doors on the containers in the horizontal lanes be moveable, just slightly. Thoughts?
3- Added displacements. More of a superficial addition, but it helps bring the map together a little more.
4- Patched a couple leaks I missed, and added some minor sounds. Mainly I wanted to hear the ambient wind blowing while I run around in the map all alone. Sad

Go download the new version below and let me know what your 2 cents is!

Check out some screen shots I grabbed:

You can go inside the buildings? Sounds like a cool twist on the basic funtimes/iceworld setup. I'd love to check it out.
 
Carrow
Thanks, I will wait with bated breath. And yeah, the inside sort of makes a sideways "S" shape through two buildings. I'll get some overview shots tonight and edit the main post with them so you can see what i'm talking about.

personally i really wouldnt worry about the sound for a gg map....rounds can be over pretty quickly.

that said, if its something you really want to add, save it till everything else is finalized.

but it does look like a neat map.

Thank you, the map still has a ways to go. Yeah you're right about the sounds, half the time in a GG map all you hear is gunfire anyways.
I thinking this would be a good map for GG Reverse since those rounds are longer and players can get more sneaky. Either way, I think it should fit well for larger and smaller amounts of players.

If you play the map tell me how you think the layout feels!

You did a great job on this map. Being able to go inside the buildings adds a fun new dynamic to the Iceworld layout.

If you need a player to test it out with send me PM on steam and I'll join you if I'm not busy.

Love the creativity that is bad ass. Something new is always a plus doing the same sister over and over gets repetitive..,Smile
 
Carrow
Thanks guys, I'm happy to play test it with anyone. Just let me know.

Original post updated with Version Two.

I plan on setting up a dedicated server some time this week for some play testing if anyone would be interested in shooting a few rounds. It won't be gun game- i have no idea how to set that up on a dedicated server, but there are buy zones.

I wont be able to get it setup until pretty late, 2am-5am EST.
If anyone is interested, PM me or just post here.
