Considering the time you started sketching, it was over two weeks ^^

Some geek facts!
Polygon count = 1665
Sceneries = 499
Colliders = 97
Waypoints = 499

Also, this map is the first map of an Ostentosa City map series! Have fun.

VERY nice sceneries! The four underwater boulders don't seem to fit, though; try to make them a bit smoother, or something.

Heh. I think I might delve into that later...

I see you changed the water-part of the map for the better, but the cranes still look a bit silly :)

This map is very good, the aesthetics are nice, the gameplay is fun, and the whole map is well thought out. Might move it to quality maps :)

This map looks awesome. A really nice concept worked out very well.
Yea, move it to Quality maps, this map deserves it IMHO ;)

Quality Map! except i noticed that the shading isnt that great for the map, almost non existant for the rock texture, however its weird because it still looks good for the most part.

May I suggest either setting the water to behind.... and/or adding a water that spans the entire map in the front. The polygons that are clearly in front look very awkward....how would u be able to jump on them if u are in the water and its not?

What an honour :) Thank you everyone for your comments.

As for the underwater boulders, we know they look somewhat off the map, but they're there to favour gameplay. :) And it was a great idea to have them. *looks at EA* ;D

zomg
You wouldn't believe how many water combinations we've tried xD

Downloaded..Very satisfying comment, coming from the latest contest winner :)


Although, i'm a bit dissapointed since no one seems to read the background story (at least no comments on that). ;(

Edit: what does the "NOT MODERATED!!!" sign, where it should be the post time, mean? O.o

Eagle, if you could move this thread to the new forums, that'd be great. Please let me know when you've done so so that I can lock this one
