Builds The Kraken - New Eggwars Map

[Thorigon]

GalaxyCow and I have created a new map for eggwars! There are not enough 2 player, 6 team maps (only two in fact), so we decided to create another. The theme is a pirate battle with the outside "islands" being pirate ships with a kraken as the center island. We built the entire map from scratch. Hope you enjoy!

Here are some screenshots:

With enough support, hopefully we can get this map implemented into game!

I hope we can get enough support :P

This looks amazing! Great job :)

I do feel like the islands don't have the same build distance to the center though...

Ohw wow it's pretty cool! I've got the feeling that the distance between the ships variates, they need to be equal.

The varying tentacle heights make it look off, but we can also check it and re-measure.

We just measured it, and they are the same. Keep in mind that they look closer because of the angle.

You sure about orange and green?

Oh sorry, I misread. I thought you meant from the ship to the center. I now see that this is a problem and we will fix this immediately.

I would make sure that the ships are symmetrical as in the side ships line up with the other side.
I would like your next map to be a 3 player. There are only four and area 51 is bad because of the night vision bug.

Schreenshots without shaders? thanks

The two halves of the map are symmetrical. We also just separated the green and orange boat apart more so the distances between boats are close to equal, (as you can see in the updated pictures). Also, if this map gets enough support, we will make a 3 person team map next.

ok thanks for updating!

I love it :). Just a tip you might want to get more close ups of the kraken.

its pretty cool I hope I see it in-game. i just made my account today and have been looking through forum posts, and this looks good.

It be cooler if the kraken itself looked like the one from orespawn i think it was

 

[SaraHT]

This is such a good map, i love it :D

 

[Steyro]

Looks amazing!

All these negative votes from other map developers is kinda sad. You don't need to put down your fellow creators to see your map succeed.o_O

You should be expecting criticism when you put things out on the internet for people to VOTE on.
Take the criticism and run with it. If you disagree, fine. But don't dismiss anything just because its negative. For example, it's going to be pretty hard to knock someone off the ship with all those fences on it. A bigger ship would be great too, like the aircrafts in Space.
Also, it just looks... blah. Other than the ships and the Kraken, there isn't much going on. Add some spunk.
Great concept, but just needs to be tweaked. Has a lot of potential ;)
