That seems like an interesting idea to wrap the maze around a mountain, that would be a very curious game! Have you thought of a spiral maze going up the mountain? Some areas would lead forward, others would lead back to already traveled paths, and others might even be shortcuts through walls! I think Maze Runner might be a good influence as well if you're looking for more ideas!
Thanks! Yes, the maze will spiral around the mountain so you're moving all around it. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that, as I feel like it could be really complicated, but technically speaking all I think I need to do is create a circular maze with the end in the middle and then wrap that around the mountain.
I definitely want to have some backtracking paths; you'll need to mark off areas that are dead-ends/backtracking as you go along.
There are a few different Maze Runner games (and movies), could you link me to the one you're thinking of? I'm not sure if it would match the mood I'm looking for, but I'd like to check it out. Thanks!
