Well, great progress so far, umm, I really cant think of anything else to say, is there gonna be a special pic for 200 replies?
I also hope that nobody forgot about me :3
(Probably so)
Well, I already posted the teaser for TDU, and at this point, I'm so close to completion that I think I'll just hold off on posting screenies until the beta comes out, when I'll post a few really high-quality shots on the OP.
Yahoo! So then its just one more area, final tweaks, then beta testing and bug fixing and it'll be ready to play!
Well kinda. Here's how I see my schedule right now.
-Finish AotW (1-4 days)
-Pre-Alpha polishing (I left some things out when I first made some areas, 1-2 days)
-Alpha test (me running through the map, 1-3 days)
-Post-Alpha polishing (in case anything is obviously screwed up, under/over-powered, or just needs adjustments, 1-2 days)
-Beta release and testing (I give it out to you guys, you give feedback, I change stuff, 2 weeks max)
-Final release
So yeah, right now we're looking at a maximum waiting time of 3 and a half weeks for LPers (I'm adding a note saying that LPers should wait until the final version of the map to play it).
I hate spending usually ~30-40 hours alpha testing, after that I can't look at the map anymore ;p
Yeah, and it doesn't help that I've already tested the first few areas of the map before I finished the map, and they still need major adjustment. :/
So yeah, don't expect the beta to be out as soon as I had hoped. I'm still doing the alpha run, and for the most part it's okay, but chances are the post-alpha polishing will take a bit longer than expected, as might the actual alpha test.
Also, I signed up for a UHC tournament as a part of Monumenta, so yeah, UHC practice runs FTW.

Got through two and a half more dungeons today, and I'm actually feeling better about stuff in general. I messed around with spawners in the fourth dungeon while I was playing through it, and got to a nice balance. And five worked like a charm; I really think you guys are going to like it. Still on the fence about what I've done with six, but I think the overall outcome will be fine. More testing tomorrow.
So, I herd beta is right around the corner. . .
Heck, I just cant wait.
Just another week of being ignored and being shoved around. . .
I honestly hope that this will be a fun map(Which I'm sure it will )
Good luck on the UHC tournament.
I find gaming a passion of mine, and it's not just something we all do just to kill time,(maybe not) it's something that I enjoy and cool off with after a long, hard week.
I plan on playing this map 'till I beat it.
(AND YEW GUIS THOUGHT I LEFT THIS POST)
I'm still alive, just barely. Just barely. . .
(I made a movie about mustaches. . . _-_)
I also hope that nobody forgot about me :3

Thank you!

And naw, don't worry, I didn't forget about you.
And as always (most of the time), pics!
You know what that means...
One area left!

All 16 wool have been placed.
(But I still have to finish building AotW AHG PLS DUN KILL MEH)
Dunt pressure Skeeto, these things, they take time (like Half-Life 3)
AotW - 75% complete.
And, well, all armpits have mushrooms. (I'm just trying to make the area be as ugly/nasty/unpleasant as possible.)
Also, I just realized, I'm working on what could be the final aspect of AotW (placing spawners).

Aaaaaaaand...
I've added a little update to the OP, as well as this:
I'll be changing each of these as I continue working. Don't fret though; we are well within a week of the beta release.
Wish me luck as I venture into (and hopefully complete) the full map for the first time!
