What would you like to see in a map?

[Reactor Worker]

There are many user-made maps available to the Blockland user, but most are small edits and rehashes of original maps. So my question is: what original ideas do you have for a map? Preferably some ideas for maps other than slate edits with custom sky-boxes?

Don't forget, at the the mappers disposal are:

• Custom DTS shapes (Typically folliage, but could be any item imaginable)
• Interiors (Best used for simple, inorganic shapes)
• Emitters (If used sensibly, they can greatly influence the appearance of the map)
• Terrain Block (Self-explanatory)
• Sky-boxes
• Precipitation (rain, snow, fireballs, etc)

Post below with your suggestions.

i personally love space maps. what i would love (not possible, i know..) but to have a full size map, and then if you fly up high enough you go into space. Not like the planets map, but full sized planet n stuff. Like it takes you a minute or 2 to get up into space if you know what i mean...

Graveyard


With some large flat areas for towns, and if possible a fog emmiter over the sides.

Simple gate, and mabye a small storage shed.

Not sure about the rest of the terrain though.

A Graveyard would be nice.

I like to see lots of plain old building space. Blockland's engine isn't pretty enough to make scenic maps with lots of effects.

That sounds like a neat idea. I suppose it could be done using a trick with the skybox and some carefully placed cloud emitters. Not sure if that is feasible though.

Sounds like a seasonal kind of map. Would this be a large scale map (ex. Bedroom, Kitchen, Autumn Pond)? or a blocko-sized graveyard?

I do too, but what kind of room do you think should be made?

Well, your tastes are well catered to already. Slate edits are a dime-a-dozen.

I'd say Bedroom style and you know you could get in some of the tombs by a secret door.

I'd like a Bathroom.

I would prefer a blocko-sized one. But I think it would be nice to have both. Basically you just have to scale it up/down.

Something crazy.

Really crazy.

Like, mindforget crazy.

Something like a map in which you start outside of a tiny looking building, and upon entering the building, you find yourself in a huge room with lots and lots of building space.

Like that.

The mindforget map probably isn't possible, unfortunately.

Nevermind that. I'd like to see a skatepark.
