D.r.o.n.e

Unreleased CTF level


This was made back in 2020 for a game that was under development at the time. In an attempt to branch out and learn level design with a terrain painting sandbox editor, I began to learn the D.R.O.N.E level editing tools and created a map with a 3-route flow.

Given that the game was not very popular at the time, larger maps seemed to struggle with most players being unable to find one another. So I had created a layout forcing players to take 1 of 3 routes from their spawn. Although there are only 3 routes, the player can make various choices on how they approach the route, with their vertical positioning. By placing details and buildings at multiple heights this enables multiple positibilies on positioning and play styles.

3rd party map support wasn't complete and level designers were unable to add team spawns, objectives or add custom models/textures or add non-environmental lighting to their levels. I was in touch with the developers over this time in hopes they would offer support for the mod community and allow 3rd party maps to be played.

Unfortunately the development of D.R.O.N.E came to a halt and the project was abandonned.
