I’m commissioning one (possibly several) large-scale battlefields for the Steam title Zero-K. The vision is a sweeping desert wasteland broken up by pockets of battered urban structures. The layout must invite classic RTS flow: generous base-building space near each start position, clearly flagged metal/resource spots, and a handful of well-placed choke points that create strategic tension without feeling cramped on a map this size. Because Zero-K runs on the Spring engine, I’ll need the full .sd7 package ready to drop into the game: height-map, texture, metal map, feature placement, and the finished compile. Please include your editable source files (height PNG, texture PSD or equivalent, mapinfo, etc.) so I can iterate later if balance tweaks are required. If you have experience with Spring Map Editor, SpringBoard, or similar tools, it will speed things along, but any workflow that delivers a clean, fully play-tested map is fine. Balance for large team games (8–16 players) is a priority, so pathing, reclaim spots, and mex distribution should be tuned accordingly. Let me know how many playtest/feedback cycles you typically include and share a link or two to previous RTS maps you’ve shipped. Once we agree on scope—single map or a small set—we can lock in milestones and start building.

Hello, I reviewed your requirements, and the core challenge is balancing large scale RTS gameplay with terrain design so expansion, resource control, pathing, and choke points create meaningful strategic choices without compromising fairness for 8–16 player matches. The map should be built around competitive flow, with carefully planned start positions, mex distribution, reclaim opportunities, and urban terrain that enhances gameplay while remaining easy to iterate through the included source files. I have worked on RTS map design and game environment projects and can share relevant examples of similar work once we connect in chat. Best Regards, Atik

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Hi, I recently worked on game environment and level design projects where gameplay balance was just as important as the visual presentation. A successful RTS map needs more than attractive terrain—it requires thoughtful resource distribution, expansion routes, chokepoints, and pathfinding that create strategic matches for every team. I can create a large desert battlefield with ruined urban areas, balanced start locations, well-distributed metal spots, and optimized terrain for competitive 8–16 player games. I'll deliver the complete .sd7 package along with editable source files, making future balance adjustments straightforward. My workflow starts with a layout prototype to validate gameplay flow, followed by terrain creation, texturing, feature placement, resource balancing, and extensive playtesting before the final release. I typically include 2–3 feedback/revision cycles to fine-tune balance and ensure the map meets your expectations. Thanks

Your project requires creating a complete RTS battlefield map rather than only designing terrain assets, so the focus is on strategic layout, gameplay balance, optimized terrain, and delivering a fully functional Zero-K/Spring engine package. I can assist with creating the desert battlefield, including terrain design, urban ruins, resource placement, choke points, pathing considerations, and team balance for large-scale matches. I’ll provide the compiled .sd7 map along with editable source files such as heightmaps, textures, and configuration files for future adjustments. Could you please confirm the preferred map size and whether you already have any reference maps or gameplay styles you want this battlefield to follow?

Hi — Abror-Yakubov here. "LARGE ZERO-K RTS DESERT MAP" — you need a battlefield that stays balanced for 8–16 players while remaining fun to expand, defend, and attack. I'll build the map with generous base areas, fair metal distribution, clear choke points, and smooth pathing for large team battles. The final delivery will include the complete .sd7 package along with the editable heightmap, textures, map configuration, and source files so future balance changes are straightforward. Before the final handoff, I'll test resource placement, reclaim distribution, and unit movement to avoid bottlenecks or unfair starting positions, ensuring the map feels competitive from the first match. Would you like the first map to focus on symmetrical competitive balance, or do you prefer a more natural layout with slight asymmetry while keeping both teams equally balanced? Looking forward to working with you.

Hi there, I can deliver a large desert Zero-K battlefield with sweeping dunes, battered urban pockets, generous base-building areas, clearly flagged metal spots, and tuned choke points, compiled and ready as a .sd7. I have spent the last 4 years solving exactly this type of problem. I will sculpt a detailed heightmap (height PNG), create layered textures (PSD), author the metal map and feature placement in Spring Map Editor/SpringBoard, iterate pathing and reclaim balance for 8-16 players, and produce the finished compile and editable source files for later tweaks. My approach uses Game Design to shape strategic flow, applies Game Optimization to ensure performant pathing and reclaim scaling, and covers full Game Development so you receive the compiled map plus editable sources. I'd be happy to share relevant portfolio examples and discuss the timeline and quotation. I typically include 3 playtest/feedback cycles and can provide links to shipped RTS maps.
