Thank you both! It's really encouraging to see such a visible form of support. I've been working hard to finish another area of Intersection 02, after which I'll move onto finishing the final area, and then onto Intersection 03. With the Thanksgiving Break coming up, I'm hoping for a good number of hours to sink into this project. It's surprising time-consuming, but that might have something to do with the fact that I sometimes run around in circles doing absolutely nothing.
wow actually im quite impressed with the idea, also with the way you keep up with ure forms and actually reply to what people say not many people do that

Thanks! I really value people who support me at such an early stage of my mapmaking career, hence my frequent responses.
I'm about to sign off for tonight, but I just finished the main building portion of another I2 area. Putting the final touches on it tomorrow before working on the second half of it (two wools in one area).
I can tell I'm really going to love this map; have been looking for a lovely skyland map! Really liking the screenshots so far
Glad to hear it! It's kinda a skylands-hybrid map; a lot of areas are floating, but there are a nice selection of anchored islands as well. It also might be a while before the next screenshot though, as I'm focusing on some areas I'd really like left a surprise for when people play the map.
Guys I didn't know this was possible, but I just spent an hour making a cloud. Above Distress Fall.
Well, ANOTHER map to play and rage at. I honestly fail at these kind of maps.
I'm gonna have some fun.
Im the smartest Person on Earth to think this map is done. Im gonna play some other CTM maps. But still, if the person who posted this, (Not the comment, the post.) MSG me when the map is done. Ill be happy to play the map and post a review.

Sure thing, I'll do my best to remember to shoot you a PM when I'm done.
Almost done with yet another I2 area! Check out the OP where the list of areas is; I've added some markings detailing how far through the area I am.
EDIT: Alright, so from the looks of the poll, you all want a beta version of the map. This makes me happeh. :3 Though to be clear, I'm thinking a final beta, all four intersections, a la Uncharted Territory, no half finished business like Vechs did with the Waking Up beta. Just so we're all clear.
I'll definitely beta test it for you, Drago! What area are you currently working on?
I'm working on the area in Intersection 02 that I haven't currently released the name for. I just finished Distress Fall, and Remnant Village will probably be the last area of I2 that I work on. Right at the end of the first half of that area, I got hit with the skylight bug, and it kinda got me down, especially since I tried Kamyu's ladder tool and it didn't work. I've still got the second half to build, though, which is what I'm gonna work on today.
BTW, I don't think I ever officially announced this, but when we get to page 3, I'll release a full list of the area names for all four Intersections. This should give you guys a good indicator of what you'll be up against. >
Oh, and if you can, feel free to spread the word about this map. I don't have any official banners for you to put in your sigs, but I'll get around to making some of those eventually. The more support I get now, the faster this map will get to you guys; I'm really encouraged by any support I get.
P.S. Launch LAN server so that i get keepIntventory True. ^-^
Well, I'd probably lose the will to live by the third dungeon, i suppose. Maybe even fourth.

Also, I can never seem to find the monument in maps, like in Uncharted Territory, I actually got wool in that map.
Cats hate me.
Well, actually I'd say using keepInventory is cheating, but if you find that you can't enjoy the map without using it, I suppose it's fine. At least try playing for a while without using it; it's rated Easy to Easy/Medium, so chances are you aren't going to die as much as you would in a ROM-hack map, or even Uncharted Territory (first one, second is much harder).
And so long as you progress through the map as intended (the path should be pretty obvious,) finding the Monument won't be an issue.

Progress update!
I'm polishing the second area in Intersection 02, but I've decided to wait on making the second half of it until later. I'm kinda sick of the style that both the areas require, and since it takes place in the nether (OMG spoiler alert) it can wait until later. It's quite possible that I may finish all of the Intersection 02 areas by the end of today, and if not today, then definitely tomorrow.

Did you use MCedit or SPC for the cloud?

Every bloody CTM map series boasts that it's bigger, longer, and harder than other CTM series. It's almost as if it's a **** measuring contest. (bigger, longer, harder...)

Honestly, I never actually use keepInventory at all. I'm always too busy raging or trying to survive in a map to turn it on, so, I really haven't tried that, and I don't think I ever will.
Both. I made the basic oval shapes in MCedit, similar to Vechs' clouds in Infernal Sky II, but I didn't like how they looked, and they didn't give the cover I needed, so I used WE to add some detail and make it look more like real clouds.

Ah, well, good. >: P
Working on Remnant Village now, I think I'm on the home stretch to being able to work on Intersection 03!
Just a bit of advice, maybe include some pics of the areas and make sure to get a good pic of like, maybe a dungeon with the mobs in it, or just showing how treacherous the map is, or the parts of the map that are. Maybe a famous YouTuber will catch his/her eye on your map. You never know when that will happen, but still, I hope it does. Best of luck to you and your map, I follow your post and check it every once in a while. I'm really excited to check out this map. + = or
(insert Pic of me falling into lava with a cat. also include me spawning with my gravity cat. (I swear, I need to get a dog.))

I'm definitely planning on sinking a good amount of time into taking compelling screenshots. There are certain areas that I think will be the best for this, and other areas that I really think would be best left until people play the map. And I'm definitely hoping for someone like Etho (though Amlup has his grip pretty hard around him ) or maybe a smaller LPer to play my map. Considering the amount of LPs I'm seeing in CTM map threads, I think we'll definitely see at least one series.

And, as promised for getting this thread to page 3, here are the names for all the areas!
Intersection 01
The Fringe
The Pit
Bleakshale Falls
Tears of the Dead
Intersection 02
T.R.O.L.L.Tech Facility 08
Distress Fall
Remnant Village
Intersection 03
Avalon Fortress
Shardveil Cove
Untapped Underpass
Intersection 04
Armpit of the World
Tumble Down Under
Everdark Atlas
There you go! I'll be honest with you, I'm most excited about working on all the areas in Intersection 04, but Everdark Atlas... Ohoho, it is going to be the jewel of this map, both in terms of design and difficulty. Updates to the OP will be going up shortly.
Hehe, I can tell there are some areas that you are going to be VERY surprised about..
Distress Fall.
Lemme Guess, Distress fall? Or the Troll facility? I can also see the text for Distress falls .
Is this going to be like the 2 lands? like, Iceland is green, and greenland is snowy? Nah, probably a death trap. I also got done watching a pony beat the poop out of starscream. What I mean is that distress fall isnt about distress, where as some other area is all about falling, AKA the pit.
I'm about to sign off for tonight, but I just finished the main building portion of another I2 area. Putting the final touches on it tomorrow before working on the second half of it (two wools in one area).
