Why Hello!
Seeing that you've clicked on my topic, I hope you stick around for the final product!
I'm going to need testers.
Update 9/1/11: I have all the major trees placed. Bushes, flowers, mushrooms, and dens, and wildlife (in that order) are being placed as of now. My current problem is it's a little laggy for me at least, not sure how that's going to push over on someone elses computer as of right now. If it gets worse as I add more things because of the size of the map, I will start taking things out for best amount of play. My second minor problem is that I feel like I could place the plants a lot better, everything is kinda scattered to put out layers but not a cluster of trees or anything. I'm too afraid that'll end up being too laggy as well. I'm hoping to push this into tomorrow and just get it finished lol. Seeing as it is my first map I don't expect it to be crazy awesome and ideal, but rather functional, appealing, and populated. If it goes well tomorrow I'll have it up for a little bit of testing.
Interested In Testing?Send me a private message. I'm only looking for maybe a couple people 10 at most. When it's ready I'll send you a message with the link to download the map. If I end up having enough people (hoping at least ONE person will help me out here) limit 10 as I said, I will either pm you telling you that it's filled, or if I forget to reply within a day or so it probably means that it's full.
Note. Download for testing is NOT ready yet.
So to recap if you want to test it out just me a pm saying "Hi, my name is so and so, and I'd like to test your map" I expect to get feedback from you if you do test it. If it's laggy, if items are weird, if there are problem areas, and if so where.
^ Lol. I read this back to myself and laugh. I sound like a jerk
but I love you all reguardless.

First things first, I've just joined a couple days ago, and I was totally enthralled in the map-making part of this game. I found that the default maps were a little bleak from what I'm used to... (I play A LOT of console games, rpgs, and alot alot alot of wow. Or I used to
) But I'm actually pretty interested in game design and this is a nice little blank canvas to experiment with.
I pondered for a long while on what I should really create after watching a bunch of mask and terrain tutorial videos. I came to the ultimate question.
Who and what do I love more than anything?David Bowie + LabyrinthAnd it struck me. I've been grazing the map forums for at least a day and never came across a labyrinth map! I wanted a little more game and a little less well /blah/ to the game. (This isn't to say I'm doing one with the bricks etc like the movie
but more of my own little creation)
Below is the layout I'm using:
Yes I've taken from somewhere else so credit goes to that place etc. It was a pain in the butt to find one I actually liked but this one opens up in such a way I think if I made it big enough it could be used for roleplay territory purposes. Dens being at the biggest parts etc.

STILL LOOKING FOR TOPIARIES.
