| 7s | hello and welcome to forun turnament |
| 8s | where we talk about All Things New World |
| 10s | I'm your host J.R and I'm here with Gwen |
| 12s | and Brian and uh first off I just wanted |
| 15s | to welcome you if you've never seen the |
| 17s | show before and uh if you have welcome |
| 19s | back um let me just tell you a little |
| 21s | bit about what we do here on Forge andum |
| 23s | uh this is where we we talk about the |
| 25s | dev process some of our goals for why we |
| 27s | do things and in this particular episode |
| 30s | have a special uh topic which is our |
| 33s | next Outpost Rush map we have a preview |
| 36s | weekend coming up for that very soon um |
| 38s | and we just wanted to talk to you a |
| 39s | little bit about the production of the |
| 41s | map uh the development uh process and uh |
| 44s | also details about the preview weekend |
| 46s | itself so let's jump right into it so |
| 49s | it's been years as you know uh since we |
| 52s | released our original Outpost Rush map |
| 55s | and it is like you know the most asked |
| 58s | for feature so we wanted to make sure |
| 60s | that this new one was going to be |
| 62s | awesome um and uh you know we and then |
| 66s | it solved some of the problems that the |
| 67s | original map has right as beloved as it |
| 70s | is it's not perfect right and uh so we |
| 73s | wanted to make something that was maybe |
| 75s | a little bit more perfect um so some of |
| 78s | our goals for example on that um were to |
| 80s | like Focus the combat more um our first |
| 83s | map is very wide open uh it which means |
| 86s | that combat tends to happen in you know |
| 88s | just around the forts around the |
| 89s | objectives primarily and so and the few |
| 92s | the few locations on the map where we |
| 94s | actually funnel players um so one of our |
| 96s | goals was actually to go with a smaller |
| 98s | map that's more tightly designed with uh |
| 101s | a variety of combat spaces that |
| 103s | highlight different weapon loadouts um |
| 106s | we also had some uh some art goals in |
| 108s | mind right Brian you want to talk about |
| 109s | that yeah definitely we started with |
| 111s | about nine different Maps um we play |
| 113s | tested those we got two uh two I guess a |
| 116s | few different ones we really liked um |
| 118s | one of the things that we really about |
| 120s | coral divide is um there were there are |
| 123s | multi-layers to the gaml which um the |
| 126s | initial one was primarily on one plane |
| 129s | so we wanted to play with that that was |
| 130s | a lot of fun and then also just driving |
| 132s | the visuals away from the initial one |
| 135s | because we have so much beautiful art to |
| 137s | use um from New World so we went with |
| 139s | the um Reish pirate piratey sort of |
| 142s | architecture and everything a lot of |
| 144s | beautiful aquatic sort of elements in |
| 147s | there I love those pops of color and all |
| 149s | of the different |
| 150s | little little biomes there's there's a |
| 153s | lot of little corners and Pockets to |
| 155s | explore and find it's really cool you |
| 157s | also mentioned the the different levels |
| 159s | right like so that's that's a feature of |
| 161s | the map is it has this trench that kind |
| 163s | of like runs throughout the entirety of |
| 165s | the map and separates these islands and |
| 168s | very early on that was that was part of |
| 170s | this design for this map but something |
| 172s | we added maybe a little bit later in |
| 174s | development was a way of linking those |
| 177s | islands together and you want to talk |
| 179s | about about that uh Gwen yeah we added |
| 181s | buildable Bridges so something more |
| 183s | interesting if you are maybe a little |
| 186s | bit less into the combat and you really |
| 187s | like the PVE elements of outpost Rush |
| 190s | that gives you a little bit more |
| 192s | opportunity to go Harvest your uh |
| 195s | materials and actually influence the map |
| 198s | itself you change the level you change |
| 200s | the game play so it's a lot more |
| 203s | exciting yeah and it's fun to like just |
| 205s | be running around and you're you're kind |
| 207s | of up top you're looking down you're |
| 209s | seeing people run down there and it it's |
| 211s | definitely interesting to have that like |
| 213s | vertical gameplay which is something |
| 214s | that you don't have at all in the in the |
| 216s | original map jump out and gang up on |
| 218s | somebody that's very fun for sure and |
| 221s | then the little side caves and |
| 222s | everything that you can kind of take |
| 223s | cover in if you're if you're getting it |
| 225s | from above so yeah there's a there's a |
| 227s | lot of really fun stuff to discover in |
| 229s | that map yeah and one of the other |
| 230s | things uh is like um having just like |
| 233s | reduced sight lines so in the original |
| 236s | map um it because it was so wide open we |
| 239s | had problems with like snipers this map |
| 241s | it doesn't you know negate that entirely |
| 243s | there's places for that in the new map |
| 246s | but there's also like places where |
| 247s | that's less of a of a of a concern and |
| 250s | that was kind of one of our goals for um |
| 252s | you know just kind of varying up the |
| 254s | combat spaces to highlight the different |
| 257s | weapon makeups like I mentioned yeah I |
| 258s | worked on the the initial one way back |
| 260s | when and there were a lot of like we we |
| 263s | mentioned a lot of sort of issues that |
| 265s | would pop up that we really didn't |
| 266s | anticipate so I remember spending months |
| 269s | um kind of like making sure that there |
| 271s | we were getting rid of a lot of sniper |
| 272s | spots and everything so um that was |
| 274s | another thing that was really nice to go |
| 276s | into this and and kind of address it |
| 278s | from the beginning instead of sort of |
| 279s | retrofix or retrofit some of the the |
| 281s | fixes along the way yeah we we did go a |
| 284s | little bit light on that like with this |
| 287s | one though right cuz we there are still |
| 290s | there are places where like you can |
| 291s | climb and we intentionally left those in |
| 294s | and they're they're around like the |
| 295s | center uh the center Fort um because we |
| 299s | kind of wanted to see |
| 300s | like is this a problem like you know we |
| 303s | we know we had some problems like that |
| 304s | in the original map um and this is one |
| 307s | of those things that we'd love to get |
| 308s | feedback on um things like that things |
| 311s | like the buildable Bridges like how |
| 312s | impactful are they to how the match |
| 314s | plays and just in general like what do |
| 317s | you think about the layout like are |
| 318s | there changes that you'd like and uh to |
| 320s | talk more about the preview weekend like |
