After all, they might just want new rocks. The devs are waiting to see if those are things mappers actually want, says Proulx. And no sign of scripting either, which means no wacky moving parts. There's no control over lighting, for example. That's in keeping with Splitgate's obvious Halo-inspired feel and maybe an intentional nod and wink to Halo players of a certain age, who spent hours tentatively nudging blocks in Forge mode, the map-making tool of Bungie's sci-fi shooter, which loaded the Sandbox map every time you booted up a fresh canvas in Halo 3.įor the time being, it's a limited tool. The result was a conglomeration of pyramids that immediately brought Sandbox of Halo 3 to mind. The developers showed off a timelapse of two designers mucking about with the mapping tool over a couple of hours.

The big plus so far is that up to eight people can use the editor at once, letting you build with mates and get your deadly Jenga towers up and wobbling in a theoretically short time. We're going to add more meshes, more features, more variants, more starter maps… but really it's about getting the basic tool in place, which is already very powerful." The idea is that Splitgaters will now chime in to say what they want from it in future, says Proulx. Let's build something that's fun and simple and easy to use and powerful…" "Instead of us spending months and months building every feature we think the community may or may not want, we said: Let's get the basics in place. "This is our version 1.0 of a map creator," says Ian Proulx, co-founder of the studio. This simplicity is purposeful, say developers 1047 Games.
You can create maps for any game mode but there's a limited library of shapes, by the looks of things, and currently no way to alter the texture of those shapes. You can place walls, ramps, blocks, doorways and objectives, as well as spawn points for weapons and players. Splitgate is launching into season 1 this week (the developers insist the last four months have been "season 0") and alongside a couple of new game modes, there's now a map creation tool. As virtual coliseums of chaos go, they were pretty cool. Old-school mega-arenas adorned with portal-zappable walls that functioned as DIY shortcuts. The maps were some of the best things about it. When warp-tunneling multiplayer shooter Splitgate came zooming out of its beta portal, gun barrels aflame, it was joyful madness.
