Felucia Map - Roblox

Welcome to the jungle! This map has been inspired by the planet Felucia seen in both the Clone Wars TV series and 2005 Revenge of the Sith theme. This map has a diameter of 2000 studs and features a variety of plants from giant fungi to tiny ground plants under the player’s feet. Plants have been made both in Roblox Studio and Blender to give them a realistic feel, however all textures are from Roblox Studio to help with lag reduction and thus to not hinder player immersion. Felucia has 3 “zones”: the Separatist (CIS) Outpost, Marshland and jungle area.

The separatist Outpost has been accurately created and is large enough to accommodate in game flyable vehicles such as Separatist gunships as well as a landing craft (seen in the first image) and comfortably fits speeder craft and tank craft. This as a result allows the outpost to function as a point to both defend and attack (depending on whether you’re playing as CIS or Republic) as well as being a base point for those who have captured it. The Marshland is in my opinion the crown jewel of this map as a thick fog reduces player visibility making the map more immersive for combat as well as role playing gameplay. The Marshland features a reduction of plants so that players are less likely to collide with plants within the fog as well as featuring sunken vehicles (such as Republic AT-TE’s and AT-OT’s and CIS AAT’s and spider and crab droids). Furthermore, it also features a smaller CIS outpost equipped with a turret nest allowing for defensive gameplay as well as another capture point for invading forces. Finally, the jungle zone dominates most of the map as the Felucian fungi takes over the planet. This mix of sized fungi allows for a constant feel of life and nature on the planet which is especially created through the smaller orange, blue and neon green fungi which players are constantly surrounded by and are constantly walking (except for when they’re in the Marshland). In addition, a small Felucian village can also be found on the map compete with 2017 Battlefront 2 inspired nysillin farms and limited interior houses which can be entered via a green button which teleports you inside the house which features two chairs and a table. While these houses a limited, they do provide a point for wounded players to reside in and thus regain their health or wait for reinforcements to arrive.

While fungi dominates the map, tanks such as AAT’s, Anti Air AAT’s, NR-N99’s, AT-TE’s, AT-OT’s and TX-130’s as well as speeders such as Slipknot, STAP, BARC and Swamp speeders are able to move around the map with ease. The spacing of the fungi has been taken into consideration so that such vehicles can still move around the map without being hindered greatly by the fungi.

Finally, Roblox terrain has been used to sculpt the hills and large land masses which can be seen on the planet. In addition, through utilisation of terrain paint tools, the marshland can be distinguished further through mud texturing (both dry and wet) which further help to immerse the player as they feel the ground texture change as they are near the marshland.
