Neon Arena

Description
Welcome to Neon Arena!

This map features 3 unique fighting arena’s themed around geometric shapes. You’ll get the idea as you play. It’s partly a wave based map, which you can make as challenging as you want by choosing the initial loadout. As you progress through the arenas, the style of play changes and includes a little parkour in places. Just for fun, the enemies are based on chess pieces, and so is their health and attack power. The design of the last arena uses these pieces to best effect.

Please note if you select the necromancer and convert some enemies to fight for you.. you may still need to kill them to satisfy the kill quota and trigger arena exits! The default brawler would be the easier class, but there are others for replay variation.

I’ve produced the music for this map, so youtubers won’t have any trouble. You can of course turn the music down and have your own banging tracks to play along with, but you will lose the custom sound effects and voice overs.

History
The idea for this map started back in May 2021, and was born from simple experiments with spinning lights. I added a platform and some enemies and had the first arena made. It looked cool, but at this stage, the map was too quick to complete and had no variety. I had a mental blank on how to move forward and paused work on it. Over the last year, I gradually thought of ways to progress the map and wrote them down. My abilities with the editor improved and my son reminded me of all my unfinished maps, this is the one he wanted finished. So it’s for him, and you guys too (hopefully) enjoy!

Bugs
Sometimes, a dude doesn’t quite die but lands in an unreachable, and unseen place. This can prevent some logic progressing. I’ve tried to minimise this, and it’s rare so just deal with it, restart and try again.

Performance
I’ve spent more time optimising this than any other map I’ve made. It should run alright for most players, but appreciate I always push the editor to it’s limits. There is A LOT going on, so may still have some lag in some locations.

Difficulty
Some players may find this map quite a challenge, veterans probably not so. If you are struggling with weapons.. Hint: Teleports can also teleport weapons, so take full advantage of the loadout room!

why is the weapons unbreakable sometimes but other times not?

Hi Code, and thanks for the great comments. The track used as you enter the last arena for combat is Blue Danube by Strauss. The track played after finishing the map and showing cutscenes of the map played is my own creation and has no particular track title beyond "NeonArenaEnd" which is what I called it.
