Hello! I am a builder trying to build a realstic more mature game on roblox that is based off of Valorant. I built the first map which is located in a desert please give me advice btw ignore the part i am turn it into terrian once its done. Idk what to put in the billboard to as a pic.
Here is some info from someone who has played Valorant before, which is useful for creating Valorant-like maps.
The maps have broken sightlines and are closed-in.
All the maps tend to box you in without you realizing. Large buildings or walls keep you in playable space while having crates break the sightlines so you don’t seem like you’re in a bunch of hollow boxes and corridors.
The maps are clear and concise.
The maps tend to have direct routes to the sites and keep little edges like rooftops, window ledges and such high away from reach. Some crates will be purposely left open for characters such as Jett to fly up or Sage to use her wall to climb up.
Lots of choke points and advantage points.
The gun play relies on having open sites that use narrow passageways to enter. It makes the rusher have to dedicate a push in and be coordinated.
Using these points you might want to really think about using a desert as a map. Unless there are going to be props to close in a lot of the area, it wont feel or play like Valorant. Unlike CS:GO which most maps are designed to feel like a real place, Valorant’s maps are tight-cornered strategic layouts on a fictional floating island. If you want to use maps which have open-roads and are deserted desert towns, you may want to replicate the gameplay of a different game. It would also be neat to see how you adapt your maps to fit this style.
Anyhow, best of luck to you, can’t wait to see what you create.
Here’s the thing about valorant, it’s always closed-ini and action packed, so I suggest making the outer barrier, like the outside walls of the map, before moving detaily inside of the map. It helps with scaling and measuring : D
Well, if it is a Valorant-inspired game, and it doesn’t have the Valorant style to make the Valorant gunplay, it’s not really Valorant inspired. I tried to point out the gameplay quirks and map structure which defines Valorant as Valorant, but you do what you must.
It will be fun nevertheless, so just do what you want to do.
