1 versus 1 Map - Maya Themed

[DarkCrusade]

I recently found out that 1 versus 1 matches are very nice to play Since there are not that many really pretty looking maps for this subgamemode I wanted to create something unique. With a sudden the idea came up to me to do a maya themed map with a temple hanging in the air, platforms and much vegetation in the for and background. Maybe a waterfall? Well, that are just things looking good for the eye. I need some layout suggestions for this map




I worked a bit on it and like you are able to see there are other colors now and I added the temple top left.

Looks good, although I'd like to see something in the bottom left corner too. Looks a bit too plain there.

I have put there a stone (you can flow there, but with some cover).



I worked the map over. Some changes at vertice colors, I added scenery and stuff. Added the spawns, too. First downloadable version in this post as attachment

Actually I made another good looking map that will have fucking bad gameplay Will need to do a lot of testing (maybe somebody could help? )

[DarkCrusade]

Thanks, some changes and I´ll release it finally

Looks very good DarkCrusade! Your map making skills have improved since I first saw you start. Looks like a great kick ass map and you listened to my idea and it looks better!

Ugly IMO.

Looks too overdone.

I could say now gtfo sucker, but I won´t. I think your opinion is interesting for me Why does it look ugly / overdone?

[Centurion]

That scenery as the background is too bright and too colorful. That's why.

[DarkCrusade]

Well, I made this map on my laptop, it might appear too bright or too dark. I will overwork it on my regular pc and release it then

I think you just have contrast issues here, thats all.  The dark building/temple structure contrasts a lot with the green trees and sunny skies, and at the same time, orange and that green seem to contrast eachother as well.  Might have to fiddle around with colors/opacity I think

[DarkCrusade]

I am working on it right now Thanks to you all, you helped me a lot.

[DarkCrusade]

Scenery details are near zero. It's just a big disturbing shiet in the middle of map.
"Sun" makes it look like the forest is on fire and trees aren't normally that colorful.
And you can hardly see any polygons there - Don't ruin your maps with cheap backgrounds.

Well, I said I am working on it right now.

[DarkCrusade]

This is no suggestion. This is actually spam. I can take much critique but you are sometimes very annoying to be honest. Why should I, the HELL, delete all scenery? I said I am working on it currently, wait please for my next update.

[DarkCrusade]

I am currently working on a version with less scenery in the background just so you know. If others think too, that a filled background is ugly I will consider about removing it, but you are alone right now, everyone else thinks it is (mostly) good the way I had it in v1.

[Grimbad]

I actually really liked the scenery the way it was. Very pretty, and had a nice depth to it, too. Maybe just put the glow behind the trees to look more like a sunset.

[scarface09]

Wth, don't delete the scenery!! That's the bloody key feature of this map. Without that the map looks so plain and weird. It gives that effect of a really detailed and appealing deathmatch map. Key aspect, it looks really bad without it, pathetic constructive criticism imo.

[DarkCrusade]

Great then, I´ll release it today or tommorow then
