NEW TPW MAP POOL - January 31st, 2012

Alot has happened inside The Planetary Workshop since it has been founded last summer. Since then, we have seen both changes in the metagame and new trends in mapmaking.
In addition to that, we have also finished a large number of new maps over the past couple of months (Our database now lists 69 maps!). Therefore, we have again decided to pick a number of maps that we thought were exceptionally well done and suited for the highest level of play.

TPW maps have already been in use in large number of tournaments, including the NASL and ESL. We sincerely hope that both players and spectators have enjoyed our maps in the past and will also enjoy our new selection of maps.

I proudly present the new TPW Map Pool! Good luck and have fun!

(EDIT: All maps are published on NA, EU and KR (TW) servers. Just search for 'TPW' to find them!)

NEW MEMBERS

We have also made some changes to our roster. Recently, the talented guys from the MCL mapmaking team have decided to join TPW. You may already seen some of their works, such as Twilight Peaks (TLMC finalist) or Hysteria (Motm Season 1 winner). We are very happy to welcome them in our team. Also, because of timezone differences, IronmanSC has decided to leave TPW and has joined the ESV mapmaking team. We are sorry to see him leave, as he has been one of the original team members, but we wish him best of luck!

As of now, the TPW team members are: + Show Spoiler +

nice maps!

though Damage Inc is a 4 player Map. You used the "2 player map symbol" for it

You may wanna edit that

No, Damage inc has forced cross and is actually a 2in1 2P map (plays very different depending on spawn - 2 2spawn maps combined into one) ^^

Wow, as if TPW didn't already have plenty of maps to choose from

Are you gonna add a B- Team now? I think you should totally do that. Feels like Ragoo would fit in there perfectly.

Also, why is OMF still in the pool? Has it done that well in the past? Just asking because I haven't seen it beeing played a lot and it's by far the oldest map in the pool. I'd rather see something like Neo Aztec in there, since you've never had a 3p map so far.

Am I the only one who thinks all these above par map-making teams need to talk to the peepmode and icjug people, I think that would benefit both the mapmakers and peep/Jug makers equally...

great maps btw lol

Tppz!

The mapthread says
"[M] (4) TPW Damage Inc."
And I see 4 bases. Aint it because of the possible Spawning positions? I mean we dont call Shakuras with forced cross a 2 player map, right?

It's sure old but doing fine and designwise still not outdated (just shows how defined and well made that nearly 1 year old map was back than already). Currently working on a redux with low ground mid and 3rd (and char tileset). Also removed one base there so it's much more straight forward, Barrin would hate it though.

We also got a bunch of good new maps that are currently beeing playtested, so it might happen that we gonna remove OMF anytime in the future (but why drop a map just because of the age itself?). It's true that we lack a 3p - but we might change this, too
