But we've got more to show you.
In Progress: Riverside 2.0
Over the last few months, we've been working on remastering and slightly reworking Riverside, one of the oldest maps in the game. This fan-favorite is finally getting a makeover with improved visuals and some very minor changes to complete the overhaul of this classic Intruder map.
You can see some work-in-progress screenshots of the map below. Everything is subject to change.
In Progress: City
Alongside Riverside 2.0, and was hinted at with the Checkpoint map release, comes City: The newest map for Intruder. This map is still being developed and worked on so there's no screenshots to share at the moment. It's constantly changing and isn't ready to show. The layout is not finished, both geometry-wise and conceptually (we have a lot of ideas as we're building the map), but the overall concept/idea of the map was briefly tested on a temporary layout with our beta testers on Discord (which you can openly join by applying to Secret Base Alpha).
What we can share about City are some ideas we wanted to implement for the map's release.
The main area takes place in a high-rise skyscraper on the tallest floors overlooking the surrounding area
You can use the buildings on the edges of the map to snipe into the main building, or pick off other snipers
Deployable parachutes, allowing teams to fly around the map and enter the main building through any breakable windows
Helicopter to transport Guards to the main building
Interior and exterior elevators
The Tablet from Checkpoint (possibly with different features)
Other ideas we've had but are not confirmed/may not be added:
New Weapon: Rocket Launcher
New Gadget: Zipline Gun
New Feature: Choose your Spawn Point
Attack Helicopter (potentially similar to Mountainside)
Intruders spawning inside the building while Guards infiltrate like SWAT teams
Parachute escapes to capture and complete the objective
A lot of our beta testers really enjoyed parachuting around the sky and having 500 meter sniper battles from one side of the map to the other, which is exactly the response we were looking for.
We will be continuing our work on City, along with Riverside. We're eager to share more details on these maps as soon as we can.
If you want to test early versions of these maps once they're available, join the Superboss Games Discord and apply to join the ranks of Secret Base Alpha.
