First of all: looking good Ted & Griff.
I've just been talking to Ted on skype about the map so most of my notes were left there. But just to show some activity, some points here as well:
- might be a good idea to move gary's name and sniper a bit more to the right ( same for brandon) For clarity reasons.
- reducing the amount of cracks and grooves on all the areas (the tracks and side areas) should greatly affect the clarity of the map. I like the addition to the theme, but I think you can make that clear enough with less animations. No need to overdo it.
Getting to understand the map takes some time now, this is not bad per se but would probably lead to less popularity later on. Try to reduce the theme a bit and increase clarity, the mechanics of this map are going to be enough to get used to for new players (and I think the theme can be brought out just as well a bit more minimalistic)
- in regards to mechanics: very hard to say a lot of sensible stuff about that. I say get it into beta or even alfa so we can play it somewhere (without even playing for points
) and find out how this works. Because I think that is the easiest and quickest way to spot things that are suboptimal or get new ideas
- add the fact that the Warden resets to neutral to the legend
I think this and what I said to Ted is enough for now, skyping over this is probably easiest. And I realy hope a playable test-version will be available soon, as that would make it a lot easier to get into more detail about the bonuses and the desired balance.
