[Accepted] Map Submission: Skylands

[VeryHighUp]

Hello there! This is my level called "Skylands". It is based in the sky with two castles, one belonging to red and one belonging to blue. So without further ado, here is the .dat file link and screenshots!

I like that map!

I'm sorry, but I don't think this would work as a map, how it is. Although it is a good idea to some extent, It's not aesthetically up to Standard. I don't like the ugly adminium, and it seems a bit plane. However this may work with some editing. Not too sure.

Honestly, it seems Alright and would be fun to play. But what smoking said

Yes he is right, i don't like alot of adminium either, but eitherway it still may work with some editing.

If people are fine with the basics on this map, and if @Alkatraz is fine with it, I would love to edit the map.

Just take a look at what I have done to SwordBase and NewNarrows ;D

 

[GrantaClause]

I like the concept, but I agree that an edit for aesthetics might be necessary for the adminium.

Hey look, Skylands is very high up!

 

[VeryHighUp]

Thanks for the feedback guys , i'll start redesigning the castles soon!
oh and

Hey look, Skylands is very high up!

I was waiting for somebody to make that joke!

EDIT: Redesign will be finished tomorrow

 

[Alkatraz]

Yeah, I'm interested in seeing a redesign. Although when I think of Skylands, it reminds me of SkyShips, as in quite high up with castles built on clouds. At the moment, it doesn't really look like clouds underneath the castles.

What about putting /gscmd kill $name gravity instead of the lava? Might clears up a bit ;D

 

[Alkatraz]

Aye, that'd work better Marn.

On another note, the whole map'll need shifting up about 30 blocks so that you can't see the solid box under the water. However this can be done in the server itself.

I don't think that would work considering the maps height from top to bottom is 32 blocks :/. However I could make an image of planet earth on the floor and you could use /gscmd kill $name gravity there!

EDIT: Almost done redesigning it! Here is the overview of it so far

I am planning to place stars (white wool blocks) onto the obsidian to symbolise space and add a few planets. I have redesigned the castles exterior and will be planning to replace the lava floor with an image of earth

 

[smokingkills]

Looks better.

 

[VeryHighUp]

The map has been redesigned! Apologies for taking so long, I will edit my first post with images/download link for the new map!

 

[smokingkills]

Look at that :D It may have taken a while but we finally got there. I think this map looks very nice, and would provide good game play. Well done VeryHighUp.

 

[Alkatraz]

Sorry I've left this so long, it is in the server now and will add spawns and tweaks etc.

EDIT: Turns out it needs a bit more tweaking than I had time to do tonight, have a few ideas which'll make it even cooler, but it should be in rotation by 9th March at the latest.
