New showdown maps
 

Hi guys,
In the next few days we are going to create new showdown maps. If you want to, you can post some ideas and wishes here.
Which tileset would you like to see? I was thinking of using the lava tileset for one map.
Would also be nice to see some layouts

Yay! Finally will this come with the solo leaderboards aswell for it?I think maybe use the ground tiles off one of the old 'new ts' that got shown maybe try morph it into fitting with some of tiles we have now? just an idea.. I think lava and iricia?(snow vers) are a deffo for showdown, even that tilesets take a long time there isn't much tiles you really need for showdown few floor tiles and then walls/blocks for each angle, platforms and stuff can be put in later. OH P.S try not to have ladders/small one player paths more open it is the better imo.

the maps should be different colours to the bullets, for example, if it was a snow map, the new change gun will be op as it has white bullets.

I think a lava map would be cool. You should also do one with nature tiles. Bring back the planet aspect on zone!!!!

Just an idea for like lava one allow lava around area so we can push them to it and they can go in it yet lose health :D makes it a harder one aswell as has bit different aspect to it.

They should die instantly in lava instead of losing health.

An izone christmas island.

Holiday maps, yas

No thx. The last thing Zone needs is more useless holiday development that contributes nothing to actual gameplay.

Multiple you say?

Make one really small. Like skybase level small.

I like close combat mk.


Or maybe make a melee sd... Breeeeeeeevvvvvvvvv Yeeeeeeeeesssssss.

No one cares you like melees (close combat) a small map would end fast due it it being small, so people can get tons of money fast if they win

What do you guys think of a gmap where you can't go around something or run away?

so a map with nothing on it? That's no fun. Running away isn't a problem in SD. You can run away, but you're still there and vulnerable. It's strategy and skill. New SD maps should actually have more structures to use to your advantage, but not just random walls. It should have platforms and things to create strategy.

More like a very small labyrinth, it involves strategy in camping.

It would need to be open & wide, which I would think would be difficult.

I have made a ******ed drawing as example.

Pink is not walkable, rectangles are like the walkable base/house of showdown. What do you think? It is not easy to run away.

Hey I just got a cool idea,

Why not have it change the map every game.
So when you start lets say you start with the snow map, when you finish the showdown round and a new one starts up it should be a lava showdown map and so on.

That would be a pretty cool feature I'm not sure that would be relevant for the game but it would be cool not sticking with only one map all the time!

Maps with damaging puddles of lava, moving spikes, baddies in the way, strange map shapes, falling bombs/arrows...

Don't quit your day job.

I believe that's the plan. I'm hoping the maps would be randomized and you would get put into one of the # of maps they have without knowing which one is next.

Yes!! I would love moving obstacles to deal with. Although, seeing how laggy that room in Sards on classic is, I'm not sure moving obstacles would be the best idea... Lava puddles would be cool, though, along with possibly random mines placed on the ground in a few placws like there is in missions.

Why not? It's art, you don't understand it.

:unsure:Not my type of art, sorry

@thread maybe have npc's shooting one direction also(so we can use it against opponents)-but don't go overboard on them if doing.

Make dmg smaller. We already change stats for SD.

And I would disagree, small maps don't mean a fast game. Espc melee only, move-throughs brev. And small doesn't have to mean a fistful. Maybe like an open handfull... Make the arena have like no obstacles, just pure ffa.



Maybe make an SD round wid like 3 lives.









JS but maybe we should fix the teaming problem... cus people still do it

Team showdown would sound epic.

"Teaming is illegal... blah blah blah"
- Ugly Betty... I mean.. battle betty

Edit: showdown's gonna be like the hunger games.

Hint..hint.. get ideas from it *wink* *wink*

would take too long. would need more zc prize.

would take to short when no one joins, zc too ez to get.

should be a seperate game thats prize is player based.

Someone team with me in Showdown.

Ol' Showdown:(

Dont tell anyone ok. I'll team with you, help me earn 1000zc and gralats

if I can get sangue today I will personally give you 1000zc and 300 graalium. beg and hope k.

How about we make a map called sangue where skt owns it.

But someone will die then he couldn't..

LOVING THE NEW MAPS AND SOLO LEADERBOARDS!!:sarcastic:

the sarcasm is real lmao
well they did say a lot of things are coming 'soon' but what i have learnt over the last 4 years of playing zone, "soon" means a range of 1 day to 2+years
Trust me, admins have said many things were being added back in 2012, still to this they they either are no longer being worked on or are still coming out "soon"

I literally can not believe the amount of effort went into this, goodjob guys it's amazing!!

90% of one map is done, only reason it isn't finished yet is a bug. As soon as the bug is fixed I can complete the map.

Ok daddy

Zone can always get their projects 90% done. It's the 10% that's not done, though, that is the most vital part of the project. That 10% is what always falls short and why projects on Dev iZone never come out. Levels are easy, but Zone utterly sucks with execution.

Can chelt be a nice guy and actively post spoilers on graalians please.

They have nothing to spoil.

G Fatal, have you been on the in game forums yet?

Chelt really had nothing to do with it. Gunderak already coded the entire thing before and apparently had to redo it, although it's exactly the same, down to the exact same glitches, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bakcup and they made minor adjustments. Honestly the forums wasn't a big deal because it was already done before.

It was made from scratch, you pog. Not even the same, haven't seen bugs yet.

Off-topic btw

there's bugs - the same ones that were on the forums before. Nothing too bad, just noticeable.

Been playing izone since it came out on facebook, never noticed a forums section til now

Can't be changed, it's how Graal is. Just reading the database in a stylized way.

it actually could be. You don't even know what the bugs are since you said you never saw any...

Only recently aha I still don't see anything they have to spoil just mostly useless ideas that won't make zone that much better unless something I missed/deleted? :0

Bwt I still really like the ingame forums they good for both staff and players also liking the new menu of showing how many someone has posted/last post etc so props to Gunderak :)

Really looking forward to this.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^Even before that the stuff made is very limited so anything that is pushed aside makes them fall months and months behind on any production being published.*must spread rep*
