To blue! like majorly to blue! Try a much darker base colour (dark blue is fine, just a DAKR colour) with the lighter blue highlights. Cause atm it looks WAY to blue

The layout looks fine, maybe a little to much of a chokepoint but ive never played KP so I dont know how it plays out.

It's so blue it's literally depressing.

I think a good map style would be like the VR training levels from Metal Gear Solid.

It's blue

and it looks pretty cool, imho.

We found out that chokepoints don't really mix well with the kp gameplay. kernel panic needs wide open areas, because the only tactical choices you have are how to move your units, as you can't build different ones. sending waves and waves of units into a long corridor is not very interesting.

Too much blue for my taste... some softer colors wouldn't hurt. I'd use some softer, lighter or darker shades of blue/blue green/blue gray here and there.

OK, now navy blue ...

I prefer the original colour scheme. Royal blue and gold!

nice texture concept, make it navy blue and you're all set to go.

My thought exactly.

KP needs terrain you can fight in, contested geos, etc. Not three free geos per side and a long chokepoint.

Well said. One thing I find odd is that most KP maps so far have very simple, predictable geometry. I'm surprised that none of them have the kind of natural, pseudorandom landscape that is familiar to TA players - stuff like GreenHaven and Mars.

I still say a Darwinia-style map would be good. Playable in mods other than KP, even.

Why are there no escher style maps yet...

This was one of my favorite maps to just have a fun quick game on in OTA. I know it won't affect KP, but could you Please add metal to whole map if it's not too much trouble. I like to play other mods along with KP

I personally like the new color scheme.

OK, I'll redo the map ... Do you want the standard metal texture ...
or something different ... but still metal ?

Isaactoo · Post by **Isaactoo** » 03 May 2007, 01:11

Personally...I like the blue a lot...but you can make the texture whatever you like, I would just like an even distribution of metal so it'd play like in OTA.
