SS14 Mapping Design

Mapping

• Follow mapping standards and checklist docs.
• Keep map content using existing prototypes unless SS14-ART-CORE-specific content belongs under _Art.
• Validate atmos, power, cameras, telecoms, cargo, evac, arrivals, docking, and spawn points.
• Check missing prototypes and map load failures.

Design

• Prefer design goals and player experience over raw feature lists.
• Check department responsibilities and undesired gameplay.
• Consider accessibility, admin burden, balance, and round-flow impact.
• For proposals, use the proposal/design-doc templates.

Bundled References

• references/mapping-checklist.md: map validation areas, common mapping failures, and launch-readiness checks.
• references/design-principles.md: core design, department, antagonist, species, accessibility, and proposal review heuristics.
