description: Map: Htourney2 (Space jam 2)
Space map based around solid gameplay.
Inspired by Q2dm1.
overview: You ever notice how most space maps
are just platforms with jumppads between
them. Well my goal here was to change
that. I spent much time tweaking the bots
and the gameplay. I achieved exactly what
I wanted to. I quit worrying about being
fancy, and focused on other elements
than just graphics. This is my first
map in nearly a year. I got engaged, and then
married. Then a new house. So it has been
a long time coming. Not to mention after losing
everything on my hard drive 2 weeks
earlier, it was a challenge. No configs, it
was even a challenge to get my own maps
back, from the NEW File Planet. LOL!
I try to keep my maps small for
various reasons. For dial up users,
and becouse custom maps do not get alot
of widespread use. So what is the use in
making a gigantic map? I pack as much fun
into as small of a file as I can. So far I
think this is my best map for size to fun
ratio. It is easy to see what this map
was inspired by (Quake2 Fans). I hope this
map can change the perception of Space maps,
particulary there Gameplay. Dont get me
wrong alot of Great maps are floating
around. It is just that they don't get
alot of respect.
what I feel I have accomplished:
I feel that I have created a great map,
that plays great in all modes, FFA, Team,
and mainly Tournament. The file is less
than 1 meg. And the bots utalize the entire map.
The only thing they will not even try for is
the mega health. But to me, having it in a
more challenging place was better for
the human players. It does feel awkward going
for it. But that was what was meant to be done.
But I watched the bots for long periods of time,
and tweaked them as best I could, and it was a
success! The music is one of the more subtle
tracks, mainly becouse the map emphasise is
tournanment. Have fun. And remember, there is
nothing like seeing your map run on servers
out there. And to see people use it.
That is my main goal, is to get it out
there, and used.
