Urban Desert Arena - February/March Project

Post by Zehra »

The game and map will be attempted to launch at the end of February or start of March is Urban Desert Arena.

In short, the game settings:
  • This game is timed and players have a limited number of lives.
  • Players spawn with ST in an open setting with various buildings to provide cover.
  • The map is divided into 9 sections and players can select where they may wish to spawn. (This doesn't always happen with the current algorithm/design of BZFS.)
  • The map is randomly generated.
  • Fully textured mesh map
  • After each kill, the killer's location is highlighted for a moment on the map. (To counter the tendency to camp away.)
  • Every x minutes, a kill is required or the player is killed.
  • If a player loses all their lives, they are out of the round.
  • If a team has loses all players in the round, they lose.
  • The winner is the team who has the most lives or players in the round. (It is a setting.)
How this plays out in theory:
Players can try to camp inside the buildings for easy kills, but a lack of opportunity can doom them. Outside a search will generally prove more fruitful, but with a lot less luck on the side. Play it too safe and lose it all, play it risky and the odds aren't in your favor.

To be decided:
  • Only limited to ST flags?
  • Flags given by server/server control
  • UselessMines?
  • Seer flags? (Perhaps at building tops?)

Update: The map generation for this project is not yet up to standard. It is likely that 1.0 objects may be used to simplify the process and reduce the total delay time in this project.
