Heya everyone!
With "Cyberpunk-y Streets" as the winner for the next content pack, I’ve started doing some research - but once again I would love your help deciding which locations we should visit!
I would honestly love to do all of them, but sadly that won’t be possible. So I’m putting together a little poll to let YOU decide which locations we want to visit with this upcoming pack. XDSince this theme leans heavily into Cyberpunk, I am of course aiming for the maps and assets to reflect that vibe overall.
I’m also still a bit undecided whether it makes more sense to create day / night variants for these maps instead of the usual modern / abandoned versions. To get a better idea of what you would prefer, I added an option for that in the poll as well. (Though this won’t set things in stone just yet.)
To keep things a bit simpler this time, I’m planning to create 3 to 4 standalone maps (and content pack parts) instead of one huge connected map. They will still be fairly sizeable, but after the experience with the University pack, I’d rather focus on delivering fully fleshed-out locations with every part instead of lots of smaller snippets.
To give you a better idea of what I have in mind, here are some rough descriptions of the possible locations:
A] Street (& Roof) Chase
A fairly large map focusing on streets and rooftops only (no interiors), designed specifically for street (and maybe rooftop) chases.The goal would be to give you multiple route options instead of just driving in a straight line.
To keep the map from becoming enormous, I’m considering halving the scale, allowing more roads to fit on roughly an 80x80 map (160x160 grid scale). (Hope you understand what I mean XD)
B] Small (Netrunner) Crew Hangout
Want to have a little HQ for your crew? It would probably be a combination of a small HQ with Netrunner equipment, an office, a secret room for your contraband (and emergency exit), and a place to rest in a bed when it's another long night.
C] Ripperdoc & [Illegal] Workshop
A bit worn down part of the streets where your loyal ripperdoc and mechanic friends operate and reside.
D] Night Market / Market Street
A narrow market street with food stalls, ending in a night market for all your (illegal) Cyberware needs.
E] Biker Bar
Although there a quite a few bars out there already, I think this is one of the things you can't have enough of. Thinking of a vibrant Bar where the Bikers meet. With Strip Club, backdoor gambling & Box Ring maybe?
F] Corporate district Street
The fancier part of the town, focussing on the outside and streets, probably with a fancy plaza in the middle.
G] Capsule / Cube Hotel
A little (worn down?) Hotel that specializes on offering you the tiny rooms for too much of your hard earned money. But hey, sometimes you just gotta lay low and down...
H] Small shopping street
Including things like a Laundromat, Convenience Store, Back Alley, Clothes Shop, ...
I] (Fancy) Casino
Would love the idea to enable you to make a Casino heist a'la GTA, with a vault that will be worth the risk and different escape route options.
J] Nightclub
Thinking a more industrial type location, maybe at a harbor with a warehouse next to it and an (illegal) drug lab in the basement.
K] (Fancy, Corpo) Sushi Restaurant
There is no better way than disturb the Corpos than at their important dinner meeting.
L] (Corpo) Offices
Well, I won't be able to do that as a huge map like the Tower, but thinking of one or two floors of a skyscraper that include (fancy Corpo) Offices
M] Netrunning Tokens
So your Netrunner get's a cool map as well I am thinking of modular tokens so you can create your own NET Architecture to make a deep dive into the electronic system encountering all sorts of nodes, programs and security measures.
I hope you find some themes that you feel are interesting! If you have any pointers for any of these locations let me know and I am happy to try and include it!So I can get started on it soonish the vote will be open until the end of the week (closing sunday, March 15th at 35:59 CET)
