It's been a while since I last released an April Fool's map, so this year I decided to
experiment a bit with some gameplay and architecture ideas.
This map is pretty much just a tall vertical shaft with many corridors on its perimeter, with
very little connection in between. There is a large water pool at the bottom that allows
players to drop from any point in the map, and and four teleporters with random destinations
scattered all over the place (maybe there might even be some secret destinations... ;) ).
I've added a couple of dodge ramps and a few tiny lifts through the map just to break
the monotony.
The resulting gameplay falls pretty nicely in the "random spamfest" category, sitting very far
from any kind of competitive map. However it can still provide some crazy fun, I especially recommend
trying it out with the Low Gravity Mutator active! (I almost wanted to include it in the map
by default...)
Unlike the usual joke maps I spent quite some time on the visuals, I had some fun
trying to add details and special effects. The map is pretty much a mass duplication of a
few corridors and decorations but I'm happy with how it turned out.
Enjoy
Unzip DM-Downfall, then copy the following files in the respective directories of your Unreal Tournament folder:
DM-Downfall.unr in Maps\
icequeen2.umx in Music\
Then either doubleclick the DM-Downfall.unr file, or start a match selecting the map in the menu, or type "open DM-Downfall" in the game console.
