Description First map in 4 years... Third map in nearly 7 years.

I've been checking in once in a while, but only last week did I download v1.4 again. I guess it was the ennui looming around university graduation and the growth in activity around here. It's good to see old names around and refreshing to see new names. This is probably not a complete comeback, but I think I want to stick around longer this time.

Mapping (and playing) for the first time after 4 years feels weird. There's still a sense of familiarity with the controls and surprisingly the editor. The initial stages of mapping (see pastebin below) really showed my unfamiliarity and freshness of not mapping, but I quickly found myself settling into old habits. It took me about a week's worth of tweaking to get to the point where I'm satisfied for this to be a comeback map.

The basic route should be medium and doable in the first try, but an AGD will probably be really difficult. There should be a route that doesn't require any switches, I think.

wow.. when I tried to find the no-switch route my brain was also thinking no-gold. This makes way more sense.

im just here to admire that progress
but i'll take it.

Yeah really enjoyed it. V cool seeing the progression of the map too, lots of big shifts in the development.

Awesome!

Was playing it last night and agreed with the others. Wanted to like the corner jump but seemed like a particularly tough one to pull off. Changes feel like I've freed up the map without losing its character.

Think y'all are right about the corner jump, I left it in there because I thought it wouldn't be too difficult for veterans. I got rid of it and moved some mines.

that gauss is really well placed

agd- 2 packs of gold: i felt the same way as yahoozy, cause i'd keep just restarting each time i missed the corner jump, and eventually decided to just fuck that pack.

really good level!

Hi!

Cool map! I think it would be better with a little less mine pressure, and I'm not convinced of the corner jump required to get the top middle gold, but it wasn't so bad. What are you majoring in? Hope you're well
Grabbing most gold except the ones in the top right.
