Sounds after a good mix, if everybody can finish his map.

@Mith: It seems like DM-Morpheus, but an Ice version. Very cool :tu: :gj:

A fun map I see.. are you really sure that this is ready? You should think about some other details or use more textures, it looks a little bit boring for me. The idea is not bad, but I guess the map needs some fine-tuning and eye catcher.

so this is "final" ?? really?? I see no Item Placement, the texture(s) bore me to death, the 3 isles seem to be c/p work, don't missunderstand me, in overall I like the concept! It's a good idea but it fuckin' needs variation and improvements. Build some additional (2-3) isles that are floating above and below the main isles. The main isles should differ much more in shape and position (mostly z-axis!), maybe use some crystals in different colors (green, turq, blue) as secondary (next to "star light") light sources. Remember you have time until (into) may, USE the time. I expect that every map will be it's own little shining star!

@all Mappers who want to make a map for our mappack:

New rules: Before finishing the map, please post 1-2 (or more) screenshots here. So the community can give some tips or suggestions to make the map better.

Nowadays its not easy to make a map that doesnt go down in the ocean of thousands of maps. To make our Mappack successfull, we need unique and extravagant maps. Something special! I hope you know what i mean. ;)

Like Shadow says: "USE the time!" :wink:

Myth's map is special and different, I like the textures although I suppose he could use different ones. Also try and make some of the pillar things sparkle a bit :P

Finnaly some criticism.

Not 100% finished, still tweaking it. I'll be tweaking the map for a few days/weeks.

Item placement has been done. I killed all the actors when I made that screenie. :loool:
And using the time how I can. I got a lot on my mind these days.

There will be no major geometry changes.

Ummh, is it a problem if my map gets 5mb, will there be a filesize limit ?
