Yoyorast Island V2.1

I still think it would be cool to "raise" the island up as if it were the top portion of an iceberg. Make the bits of the map that currently have contact with water into sloping cliffs that are to steep to walk on, and make the water a death plane so if you hit it you die. None of this "if you fall off you can just walk back up" crap, there are plenty of maps that result in death if you fall off.

And add some type of surrounding scenery so we're not faced with a boring nothingness 360 degrees around the island.

Lava sea please.

How about, take out all the doors, and shit, and then re-release.

honestly, just adding a sunset would be nothing new. snow would be cool, and I don't think it's too terribly overused. well, by good maps that is.

Some ice burgs close to the island, and then just white fog would look neat. With snow falling of course.

Also substitute the music for christmas style. You wouldn't be able to get me out of some rooms if "Let it Snow" was heard by nearby players

Screw a new version, just make snowyorast

Put geometry around the edge of the map (way beyond a player/vehicle clip) like you're in lake (ala Delta Halo) or nearby islands (perhaps put some wacky gemoetry onto them as well vOv, maybe a mockup of the origional island!).

Snow's a bad idea imo (doesn't really suit the map) but a light-moderate drissel would work well I think (get a pretty sky too).

What rams said about the secret room tbh. It was part of the character of the map. just make it absolutely rediculously hard to get to (and make the new one at the tofu room :o!)

And take as long as you need and call it the Directers Cut or something to make it more appealing to kiddes than just yoyorast_island_V2.1

Seconded, except making the ocean ice, saltwater shouldn't be frozen, and don't make the fog too thick.

Salt water shouldn't freeze? The arctic would like a word, mate

Lava sea please.

Volcanorast, A Volcano spewing forth lava and boiling seas of doom. Flying flaming lava rock ground splits.

What most of you don't seem to be considering is the effect this will have on FPS. All the bumped cubemaps will rape the FPS, not to mention the massive amounts of other cubemaps for other ice and things like rock. Plus you all want added geometry, which will further hurt the unsteady FPS if you start adding extra things in the distance. Oh, and WPS's may also further effect it, depending on how bad particle popping is already in the map.

Your going to be looking at a FPS drop of at least 7 FPS, more likely between 10-15, if you make it snowy.
