Redesign



So the America's Army devs were somewhat disappointed with our map. They told us that we were doing a great job, but they had a problem with the center area of our map. The told us that in their play test no one entered it. This is problematic especially because the center area, or market, is my favorite area of the map. So my team met today to hash out a plan to fix it. We have until next Friday which gives us a solid week, but most of us are gone next week. There are six of us in all, but it is mostly just going to be me and Elken next week. We decided that me and Elken would work on two different ideas over the weekend, and on Monday we will decide which one to go with.
The original design essentially gave the player four choices at the begining which is too many.
My altered design limits the players choices down to three at the beginning. I also plan to alter the two center hills which the devs said they felt were still out of place. Luckily Sean, our terrain artist, will be around to help me out with this.
