    That's it, if anyone else posts in the thread and they are not providing an update, or commenting on a new update of the map, I am going to cry. I don't want to be reminded this isn't being worked on please !!! :D

    Yea the few rooms that they've shown look good... but how does it play? Ns1 maps are notoriously bad when ported over without any changes.

    We're gonna need to see some pics before we can officially move on from the disbelief phase on to the anticipation phase. I'd change that if I could, but... I can't! ;)

    I think Vert makes a fair point. I don't think anyone doubts your ability to pull off the art, you both are exceptionally talented. What worries me is the lack of testing. In all the time I've been involved with the NS2 mapping community I've never seen anyone come even remotely close to pulling off a map that's even close to perfect on the first build. Look at the history of Successful community maps like Kodiak or Jambi, they've changed massively throughout development. Evenly heavily tested, remake maps like caged are still evolving and refining.
    my suggestion would be to roll back the art to a separate build and release a traditional grey box version. That way the fancy stuff is not revealed in any rough state and you can ensure the gameplay is solid for a map you'll have to sink thousands of hours into making pretty. At least someone should do a direct port of the original so you have a reference point for what needs changing for the remake.
