How many of those later changes are driven by art vs ld? Seems like it changes alot after blockout, often changing the gameplay massively. Like entire routes being closed off or high ground changing position.

Also a bit of drama from Paladins using a screenshot straight of Tiagos art station:

Yeah, change is good man. Iteration is key. 

LD blockouts are rarely a one to one blueprint for the level. In theory, that's what it should be, but in practice that's just when the real iteration happens, when art marries with the design.

Sexy mapcorians! 

Also, Thank you guys for an awesome game. Still enjoying it today.

lol! 

We iterate a lot on the maps, a lot of the small changes you see are art driven (to make things easier to build), and we also have a lot of freedom to shift stuff around to improve the flow, sightlines etc... We never just convert a level design map straight into art, there's always a "cleanup" phase if you will. But sometimes we do major level design changes later on (but those are always driven by design of course).

That's something I really enjoy about this pipeline, it feels very organic

Control point map out on PTR today, set in Busan, Korea!
Each 3 points feature a different distinct theme: City, Temple and MEKA Base. The design of each point should feel very different with varying environment hazards and vertical elements. Go check it out!

@Helder Pinto Been playing this a lot the past few days, really excellent, city area seems a little sniper heavy, I know you can flank, but when shit kicks off on the point it's easy to be a target. I'm having a blast as always. Love the futuristic stage, the cover that pops up is pretty interesting, happy to see you guys experimenting more with dynamic environments, pretty fun with Moira  Love the idea of the fastest route to the point being the most dangerous (the small chokepoint having to go uphill) nice touches to keep the maps unique.

Visually, I have nothing to say other than, damnnnnn ... all you need now is some giant dominoes in the spawn room.

Agree, but i kinda like the feel of having to check for snipers, makes the map feel different! 

Also, Damn i’m starting to like Hammond! (Nobody actually calls him wrecking ball )
