Imagine there is a SDK...

Just imagine there is a SDK available…
What kind of projects do you want to start?
Maybe a simple map? Then post your map idea!
Or a new gametype? Post your exact idea!
The reason why i post this is i want to collect all ideas for maps / mods globaly. So SD can decide if its a good idea to release a SDK.
Please do only post ideas you would start working on, not ideas for some1 else to do.

So, im doing a start:

I would start making 2 maps.
Map1: A completely vertical map. A high tower where you have to fight upwards / downwards.
There will be only one way to get up without using SMART. also that way is very dangerous because you walk through an open area. Then there are many other ways to get up. Barricades to create / destroy, positions for climbing, crouching etc.
Map2: A proof-of-concept map. Imaging a map consisting of several areas, all underwater (allows to look into other areas through glass). every area has its own command post. You can take a command post and the area is yours. That means that you can savely pass that area. seconly there are defences which can be build after you conquer an area.

So what about other modders around here?

Releasing the SDK would make this game so ****ing good!

(Om3ga) #7

idd, it would build strong community around this game.

I dont see why they wouldnt release an SDK, well, it would be a great deception without one anyway.

Excellent article about the potential for Brink mods, community or otherwise:

Rather: Releasing an SDK is the only way this game will last longer than one year :wink:

I’d like to work on a map that focuses on both defense AND offense for both sides. Think of it in terms of class CTF styles. A mirror map in a wheel shape with two major spokes with secondary objectives abound that open/close alternate routes.

Spawns are on opposite ends of one spoke of the wheel and each team’s intel is on opposite ends of the other spoke. Instead of escorting the intel to a data upload terminal back near your spawn (because that’s so easy to defend), each team escorts to a singular data terminal at the center of the map.

i would want to do a sort of duel/tournament/1on1/2on2 mod. only one/or two class(es), i think the medic+soldier would be most fun with its selfhealing/ammo ability, and restricted- or none extra abilities. restricted to light body type movement, some more hp maybe.

i would do the maps.

only releasing the leveleditor would be nice, but pure objective based levels are really hard to design.

I believe SD is more than willing to but it’s up to bethesda, at least that’s what i got from an ED Stern interview.

Maybe they’ll release a SDK once they are done with the DLCs

Well a sdk could be possible with dlcs… see fallout3, obilivion, fallout new vegas…

I hope they don’t think they can make everything good for competition themselves. Even Blizzard, the god of RTS balance, is unable to create good maps for the competitive scene.
Clearly with an SDK the community could make a viable promod way faster than SD could patch the game accordingly.

Splash Damage has it’s roots in the Mod-Community. It would be really disappointing to see them forget where they came from. I guess this would be my last buy from them if they go this route.

(trigg3r) #17

i seriously doubt they’ll be releasing maps (or anything else for that matter) thinking about the competitive scene of brink.

(Ragoo) #18

Afaik they said “we want the game to be played how it is first”.
I have this fear they (or Bethesda) might think the core game without Promod can work for competition which imo is clearly not the case.

(stonecutter) #19

would be nice if someone can remake the " Hidden : Source " mod for Brink :stuck_out_tongue:

GTFO

Promod servers no purpose other than to create elitist ****bags like it did in Call of Duty 4, that mod created all the little scumbags CoD is full of today, it’s only considered pro by children coz it has the word pro in, it’s not pro it’s a noob gametype that removes gunsway, removes all perks and makes the game into call of duty 2, if you wanted to play call of duty 2 go play it, don’t **** with a game that was for all intense purposes perfect. “oh but it removes gunsway on snipers to improve hitreg” yea and that spawned all the millions of quick scope fags we have to put up with today, promod ruined Call of Duty.

It also spawned the millions of xXSnIpErGhOsTpR0Xx elite 360 noscope montages.

Seriously go and look for a promod montage on youtube, if you see the video maker on the first 10 pages using anything but a r700 i’ll eat my ballz.

It’s an excellent competition Mod but should never be used in public servers.
