Hi guys. I've been mapping for a little over a year now, but never had anything sufficient to show you guys. I started this map with the intention of finally releasing something. I worked pretty hard on it, but I'd like some critiques (if that's even possible!). I used a lot of references and memories of my childhood to achieve the dark but convivial atmosphere. I think it's better than most of what is played right now; hopefully servers will pick up this great new map. Thanks guys, and have fun:

A real dramatic shot to start things out.

This is one of the dark corners. Spooky!

This is under the Chair of Mordakai. It's probably the best camping spot.

This is me midair! Yea, a pretty cool double jump off the chair. See if you can touch the top, might get something special! Haha, just kidding.

Here to download!

I really doubt you've been mapping for a year. I doubt you've been mapping for a week.

I really hope this is a joke, but in case it's not:

1. Notice there are things that the popular maps have that your's doesn't. More than one path. More than one room. More than one area. More than two textures. More than one light. Thought put into the layout. Stuff like that. All of that is important. Maps don't just appear when you click the mouse a few times.

Next time, at least put work into something before presenting it to us.

Yeah, this is definitly a joke. Could an admin check the poster's IP against other regulars on this board? >_>

Ehh.... IP doesn't match any other users. Reverse dns is a *.lft.bellsouth.net hostname. Also checked the server logs and somebody has been playing as "Mime" and "Titan" under that IP.

I don't know what to say.

Edit: If this is a serious attempt, please read this guide for releasing maps: http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5149.0

... Me thinks hes mocking the ####### maps that are out right now and is trying to be funny.

Mmm Not Funny :S

Eiii · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2007, 05:12:49 PM »

#######?

Cobo · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2007, 05:16:28 PM »

####### = number of maps.

I don't think it's a joke!

I'd love to play this map with you guys on, hm, graffiti servers maybe, but I'm banned. When I get back in 32 days, I better see all the servers playing purple.

Jitspoe, or anyone who knows, can I play on my own server (with other people) while I'm banned?

Cobo · « **Reply #12 on:** June 16, 2007, 07:08:16 AM »

No because you cheat.

lol. This map has to be a joke.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #14 on:** June 16, 2007, 05:23:49 PM »

No I actually don't think it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BliZzaRd · « **Reply #15 on:** June 16, 2007, 09:05:27 PM »

you can play on your own server but nobody can play on yours... when your banned youre kinda isolated to play by yourself or on your own closed network at home

Clockwork · « **Reply #16 on:** June 16, 2007, 11:06:08 PM »

Expecting Apocalypse to say it isnt, but meh, like others said, MUST be a joke. I dont see how somone would release something like this seriously.

Apocalypse · « **Reply #17 on:** June 17, 2007, 11:09:34 AM »

Why would he register just for that besides Jits did an IP check doesn't match could be but I think he just has horrible map taste and honestly is a really bad mapper.

magalhaes · « **Reply #18 on:** June 17, 2007, 03:05:55 PM »

I met him on a pub the other day and the way he speaks made me think this isnt a joke :///

Eiii · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2007, 04:37:27 PM »

The only way he could speak that would make me think he's not joking is if he sounded like a retarded three year old. But, he's smart enough to spell simple words and use punctuation and such (*cough* ^), so I think he knows what he's doing.
