COMMENTS

I was astonished when I pulled the map into the editor and found that … what you see is what you get. It is so well crafted to be (?) called finished. It reminded me of a map I made and after I finished it and played it I couldn’t help but thing that it FELT more like a "chamber" and not a full-sized map. I’m reworking that one now to be four times its original size. I believe this map would benefit tremendously if it was the "center-point" of a larger map. The top landing begs for a set of four ramps (like below) to head off to (?) LOL just about anywhere. If those ramps lead you OUT and/or back IN … themselves leading to some cool rooms then this map design would be terrific. As Is – it is well designed and moody, if "poster-child" simple. Like looking at a mannequin in a window … as beautiful as it is – it’s just not the real thing. d:-)
