Quote:I feel this will lag on several systems and whilst I like the out of play areas, some of these (regrettably) need to be cut out.
Technically everything which is not in your view, or behind solid walls doesn't affect your fps.
If you go again through the map, you will notice that is considered. (You can make areas solid you think which affect your fps and compare the difference)
New maps should also advertise the game and basically Systems get better and not worse. So thinking forward isn't wrong. Don't forget it will pass a lot time, for another next release.
The sense of that kind of mapping was, that you play on playground in a environment which gives a great atmosphere.
