To my surprise, he said "make a game", so I did, with this map. It played out better than what I was expecting, I like the map actually, I won as I was taking a third so I didnt get the full macro effect but it its still pretty nice. Looking forward to it next season! I appreciate comments like this. People often look at the map and say things like "3rd is too open" "There are only 5 bases, not enough" "It's too open. Zerg OP on this map" but when you actually play it, it's usually better and more dynamic than what you thought. I wish people weren't so quick to judge simply because it's a new map. Thanks for the comment though, and glad you liked it better than what you were expecting! | ||

Edit: If you are referring to Atlantis Spaceship, that's actually from LSPrime of Team Crux, though congrats to them as well ^^ | ||

Keep making dem maps, you're obviously not doing too shabby ^^ Edit: If you are referring to Atlantis Spaceship, that's actually from LSPrime of Team Crux, though congrats to them as well ^^ I'm referring to the fact that the original Ohana was made while Ironman was still in TPW and he got help by TPW and got motivated to keep working on the map and submit it to TLMC | ||

I believe Ohana will make a positive addition to the GSL map pool. People respond positively to the idea of a beach map, but Bel'Shir beach failed to produce the quality of games that GSL had hoped for. In addition, with it being a ladder map players and spectators alike will be familiar with its gameplay, making it less likely to be disregarded. Now to go on a tangent (Sorry Ironman!) Atlantis Spaceship in its current state is a bad choice for GSL for one relatively minor reason; that being that the aesthetics are purely for looks and actually interfer for many players and spectators alike. While I do not doubt the quality of games that the map produces, my issue stems from the following features: a. The main bases have no distinct visual cues, nor do any of the other bases. b. The map is fairly complex, but high ground/lowground/ramps have no consistant visual cues to distinguish themselves from other parts of the map. c. The map is fairly dark with a generous use of red lighting, a color which is often very distracting for the eye when there is a lot of action (red is the color the eye is most naturally attracted to). d. The entire map is made out of high-contrast hard-edged textures, this is very jarring and often causes the eye to become distracted. To contrast, take a look at The Grid. http://i.imgur.com/fcDZr.jpg The Grid (in my opinion) is the pinnacle of functional aesthetics (especially man-made aesthetics). There is a clear distinction between all 3 levels. Ramps are clearly distinguishable. The textures on each level are smooth and complimentary. The use of lit pathways is done in a way that it doesn't actually distract from the action. There is a minimalist use of doodads so that its very easy to discern what parts of the map are playable and which are not. And to top it all off the final product is stunning. Spaceship was clearly designed aesthetically to look like, well, a spaceship. It was unfortunately not designed to look like a good melee map (no matter how great the layout may be). | ||

Secondly, I not only thanked TPW in the OP for production help (which should be enough), but I don't see how or why we should run to Chae and tell him to recognize TPW for a map he (or they) chose. Just let it be buddy... Ohana is not a TPW map anymore. I don't know why you guys still care. | ||

Previously, the gap was too small and no air units could survive while remaining stationary. This is now fixed. 2) Texture touch-ups 3) Fixed water and tree glitches, as well as added in a few more doodads I could not find this on NA. Is it called something different now? Is it ESV Ohana? | ||

I hate the maps like entombed valley and so many more which are just dark and hurt my eyes. I enjoy making maps that express the beauty of nature. Creating beaches, deserts, and the like are my cup of tea. I don't prefer dark maps that make it look like you're in a cave. Every map I create you can expect it to look like noon time in the middle of summer  | ||

I am so uncomfortable making natural locales. All of my textures have to have a calculable method of painting. I bet there could probably be something said about left-brained vs right-brained people people in that regard. :-P | ||
