Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty
For the first Borderlands 2 DLC, I created the maps The Rustyards and Magnys Lighthouse. I wanted to make sure the locations I made were unique but fit well within the rest of the DLC. Magnys Lighthouse is a very vertical map, while The Rustyards weaves players through a canyon filled with marooned barges.
Giving a location a functional theme can give a sense of place. Creating a small harbor at the base of the spire helped to achieve this here.
Magnys Lighthouse sits atop a steep teetering spire that can be seen in the background throughout the DLC.
In The Rustyards, pirate bandits have re-purposed stranded barges into miniature cities.
