Yeah, don't miss that

Well, I wouldn't say it's terrible, but it does indeed feel a little sub-par compared to the rest of the map I'm afraid. I think the main problem here is that you added a lot of quite large rooms wich are practically empty... the whole area and even the few details seem oversized, especially the tall water rooms since the vertical movement makes it seem even larger and more empty!
Don't know, but it propably would have been better to add only one or two rooms and give those enough love to make them fit the rest of the map instead of adding such a large portion (wich isn't particulary interesting layout-wise either IMHO).

Sorry, if this sounds picky or something... it's nothing personal, I just happen to run through the map a few minutes ago since it's my turn tomorrow and your part kind of stuck out from the whole picture.

Winter is coming.

Anyway yeah I agree Vader, but that is what stage 2 is for. Anyway I hope you or Gez provide a suitably epic entrance to Hell.

I'm sure Vader does

Heh, I'll try



True, but detailing such large rooms is time consuming and a major pain in the ass
I just mention it because If I were to detail those areas, you better expect a lot of changes concering the proportions.

Fortunately, a huge amount of areas is already very detailed, so people can concentrate on these areas in the Phase 2 development.

Ultimately, that's probably the biggest core issue. I thought I had more time than I actually had and thought everyone else had added more than they actually did. I did intend to make a proper water section, though, complete with high height so that verticality came into play.

With this kind of a timeframe I'm pretty sure everybody (except maybe Tormentor) feels this way. I myself only managed to give enough attention to detail to the entrance to my section!

wow omg is this the dusk-hits-a-round-number-of-posts day? 100th!

Alright, I'm a little late, but here is the latest version:

I didn't really get everything done I wanted, but I'm still kind of pleased with the result although I had to rush things at the end. As a result monster placement is very roughly done and I haven't placed any items/health at all nor did I include a reference to myself yet.
I also wanted to add an epic entryway to the hellish part of the map, but I just didn't have enough time and put some spine pillars there instead as a placeholder.
Maybe the next person could continue there...

There's also a bottomless pit my part that needs a vertical light gradient to look convincing, but I'll leave that as well as the personal reference for the detailing phase.

Very nice job!

My only complaint though is those metal tiles used to make the bridges there. I don't think they make much of a sense when used alone like this without some form of support under them.
