I seriously wonder why would you retire as a map maker...I mean for sure you can find sometimes to make a map here and there...I mean it doesn't take much time right ? And since he was such a long time map maker, for sure he will see a map or whatever and get inspiration about another map. Just saying...^^

Thanks for cloud kingdom. It is a great map but we will need more maps like this in the future so hope you'll come back someday.


Also as a personal request. Does anyone know how I can contact other map makers who might be willing to make a free for all map?

woah I wish I would've made a map July and every other legend played on ^_^

Anways, as Nazgul said. The scene really needs more people like you, as helpful and passionate as you.

Thanks and glhf!

I can't begin to understand the complexities of mapmaking but I can thank you from the bottom of my starcraft heart for CK. My favorite in the community contest!

Be well on your journey, may it take you far and wide and back again.

I might not be representative - but my 2 last maps easily took ~60 hours each. And looking at Super's work, it's very possible he might take more time.

Testbug was such a fresh look when it started being used in the bigger tournaments. I loved watching people play on Testbug at the big tournaments.

And to top that off Cloud Kingdom seems to among the top of SC2 maps.

Good luck in the future.

You can really tell your passion about all of this from your writing and i've spoken to you a few times in various stream chats over the years about maps and mapmaking, hopefully we'll see you back here at it again at some point!

That's what I'm saying actually, there is no crysis of time for maps, so making one every 2 months shouldn't be a drag right ? Just work 1-2 hours a day on it if you really like it.

Ahh, I do hope to see you return to the map-making scene - and the Starcraft scene in-general - Cloud Kingdom/Testbug are maps who have been the hosts to many of my favorite games.

Well that quickly went from me being like "well this is one of the best topics I have read on tl in a while, what a great guy" to 'oh shit pls don't quit T.T'

Sad to see someone who influenced brood war and especially star 2 as much as you did go, I'll miss getting exited about you making a new map...
I don't think wol will ever see a map that did as much for the game as cloud kingdom did, your use of chokes and high ground low ground really did revolutionize the way we all look at maps.

Thanks for the work sir. Good map making is hard to come by and underrated. Chokes do break up deathballs and we need more of them. Cloud Kingdom is a beautiful map and still uses one of the best tile sets in the game.

May the Sky Shark live on.

His post indicates its more about not liking sc2 and less about time.

Your departure saddens me greatly, best of luck on your upcoming endeavours.

I feel you, but once you reach a certain level mapmaking can easily consume your every waking hour, it does for me. It's not so much a matter of squeezing it in every now and then, it's more like if I don't make myself stop, it will consume time that I need for other things. Superouman's case may be different, since he's becoming a bit bored of SC2 now as well, but just to give you an idea.

I suppose retiring at your peak is the way to go. Bit disappointed because I'd love to see this tale grow a little longer or see another great map to rival cloud kingdom. Best of luck with school and I hope you'll return if LotV proves a worthy successor to BW.

If you read Zerg Help Me Thread at all, you know I love and revere Cloud Kingdom as one of the best maps in SC2.

And after reading this, I can understand a little better why you were so intensely competitive in the TL contest, though I still think your attitude towards Ohana was a bit too disrespectful.

Good luck with school. Hope you come back with HOTS and give us more great maps.
