To create a fun shooter, you need to consider a lot of different factors. This is especially true when it comes to games that players return to every day. Of course, graphics and gameplay are usually a key point of consideration, but that’s not all — in this genre, map design plays an important role. A correctly made location will highlight the features of the game and help the player navigate during the match without losing interest.
