The Concept

Before we begin building our first mission its generally a good idea to have a concept of what we are trying to develop. A rough sketch on a napkin made at IHOP at 2:00 AM with your buddies is usually a great way to begin. You talk about cool games what was fun and what you would like to see in your own game. Here is the concept for our first Newbie CTF map. Its based the ever popular "don't fall in the lava" child hood game.

Two opposing teams will play Capture the Flag (CTF) on a plateau high in the mountains surrounded by hot lava. On step off that cliff and you are toast! Literally!
Our first step begins here with some basic tweaks to the mission editor. The questions to ask are:

1. Question: Is this a day or night mission? Answer: Day.
2. What will the weather be like? Answer: Partly cloudy with decent visibility.
3. Trees? Answer: Yes, but not too many.
4. Buildings? Answer: Yes, but only the two Flag Bases.
