Hello. I decided to upload some of my old and embarrassing maps!

Map of the Day:

Amethyst

+ Show Spoiler [Close Ups] +

Comments:
- A very small 2p map at 116x136.
- One of the few maps that uses Ulnar as the texture set. I think texture wise it came out well!

I like it, especially the textures. I would replace the teal and red decals with the purple ones though, i think they blend way better with the theme. The red looks a bit out of place.

Please oh please oh please make this work. I've been trying for the past few months, starting with Superouman's Cherno and came up with many of the same solutions. I've been trying to keep it 148x148 but my rush distances are a little short.

I sort of wish that the 6 and 3 spawn locations were closer by ground than the 6 and 9, but it looks like they're about the same (which is pretty impressive). Or that the ground paths between the bases are larger. Of course they'll still play out very differently re thirds and such.

Wow, you made all of these?
Well they certainly look great!
I especially love Amethyst and Fruitland, though I have to save I personally think the red and teal textures were fine and nice with the theme, so I hope you keep them like that.

Map of the Day:

Legacy

Comments:
- All spawn 4p 45° mirror map (I daresay first in SC2 that works hopefully)
- Last map for a long time
- Each spawn is drastically different. Close by air promotes air play and your third is far away but very far away from opponent as well. Close by ground plays out Naro Station in that the backdoor is very useful for harrass and it is very disparate from main path. Cross position allows for a lot of different options for thirds etc.
- Island has rocks blocking only the minerals, which means it won't be THAT useful for terrain in the early game, but it can be used for special strategies and hopefully balanced feature.

The textures on that map remind me of oldschool BW maps and I love it <3

Infact, I love most things about that map and all the chokes make it decent for mech! <3

I also like the map's texture style a lot, since it's completely different from the usual "blend natural textures into each other"-approach. I don't know about the layout though, 3rds might be a bit hard too take and i've never been a fan of island expansions. Why is this your last map for a long time?

Beautiful BW visuals emulation!! Nice man. Also great layout, good sizing decisions. How big is this?

I am worried about the 3rd base in "close ground" spawns aka E/S spawns. The push distance is kinda close for TvZ for example and the map architecture is conducive to biomine pushing.

Scoot them back like this?

Also you need some of those pillar doodads in the water. :D

Legacy has to be my favorite map in a very long time, from a technical standpoint. I've had many attempts at this very sort of map, and none have really been successful. The pathing is varied enough that no one spawn setup is really pigeonholed into taking one path all game long, but it's still restrictive enough to make the rush distances - and expansion patterns - viable in all of those positions as well. I could see this winning TLMC #3. Bye noob!

Map of the Day:

Fruitland TL

Comments:
- Un updated version of Fruitland for GSTL!
- There are two destructible lemons on either side of the map, and if you destroy one you get a lemon slide mineral with 500 minerals in it!
- A worker must mine from this lemon mineral, and if killed, the 500 mineral is lost.
- The destructible lemon respawns every 5 minutes.
- Crazy, I know.
- SPECIAL THANKS TO JACKY, HE IS AMAZING.

Cute Screenshots:

Also, I've been in talks with Blizzard to remove the watchtowers. They might be removed! Stay tuned.

This is amazing! Mapmakers have never experimented enough with special objectives and terrain features. It will be very interesting to watch how this plays out.

Cool cool. I put a 500 mineral thing in a map when hots first came out and I kinda got laughed at. I guess the idea wasn't so crazy after all if GSTL is going to do it (granted it's not a super serious league, but still

) I like the implementation, reminds me of the mechanic from the sc2 campaign map.

In general I think a lot of "gimmicks" like this are actually great and shouldn't be considered gimmicks, if it gets people out on the map more and forces crazy engagements when you wouldn't necessarily expect them.
