We must find names for maps spots

[RoyLee]

Super cool stuff! Can't wait to see what the other areas on the other maps are called.

pretty much every team based competitive game has callouts

tf2, counter strike, every moba you can name, etc all have callouts for their maps and its very, very useful

Yeah, I wasn't familiar with the concept because this is the first 'shooter' I've had a competitive interest in.

well you've picked a good one, because i don't think we'll ever see another game like it

Unless Nintendo makes the inevitable sequel to this game.

and i hope they do!

but you know what i mean. mechanically, this game stands out from other shooters like a black sheep emitting neon lights, and looks like it'll be supported long term by developers that are genuinely fans of their own game. a game like splatoon would never happen outside of a nintendo console

Yeah, me too. There's so much more they can add into this game in a sequel. But let's not ponder into the distant future.

The aesthetic of this game is what initially attracted me. It's unique and like you said stands out from the other games in the 'shooter' genre. I'm also exited as to what feature/content they could add in future DLC.

Walleye warehouse - Boxes.
For the middle area. I feel box control will be vital so it needs to be simple

I'm thinking of doing a call-outs list for every map for a Squidboards feature. Maybe we could get some community input in on that.

i'm so up for that!

I think names for areas will just happen very organically. Since there isn't voice chat in the game the best names for certain points may vary a little from group to group, but I think over time the best names will vary naturally win. That's how its worked in all of the mapped games I've played.

<pi is right. I mean a compendium after common names are established is basically the only way to do it if that's what people want...people will call places what they want and what is natural.

Could very well be intuitive stuff too. I've heard the halls in Saltspray Rig referred to as zigazags, wiggles, hallways. I know when someone says North, crates, top, they're talking about the largest area in the map. May not even be a need for "official" callouts.
