I look at this project and at the Hypercube and I think "novelty map." Users might play this once and then never come back to it. Am I wrong?

Probably not for the most part.

I'm not sure that's reason enough to say the map shouldn't be made. I'm not saying we should have tons of 'novelty' maps on the site, but a few doesn't hurt anyone. And, if it fits into a niche group then that makes it worthwhile.

Final doesnt look good...Maybe raise the text "Final" above spot thus creating room for armys

I agree... it sort of looks like a drawer coming out of the final box. It might look better if it was all one shape, with the same bevel all around.

Optical illusion? They are the same brightness in my software. That is odd... :-k

Need to be more descriptive on that last part. I'll look at the box thickness of things.

I do, lost a bit of desire to work on it after I was around a lot of people that really didn't like it. I'll get back to it soon.

I just wanna say: your are a genius for using PowerPoint for some of it! That was so smart! This happens to be one of the nicer looking maps that i feel that i could possibly re-create!

yes it might be a specialty map...but it will probably be used a lot in tourneys...and it is such an original idea for a CC Map! Keep up the work
