HEY EVERONE, LOOK! A POST NOT INVOLVING RAGE!!!!!
It is with deep regret that I must put this map on the side. At about 90% towards a BETA release, Radient decides that NOW is the right time to tell me the map is too large (about 1.5 times too large in both x and y planes). Reducing the map size would involve a serious deal of re-working on my part, about the same as making a completely new map. I would need to (obviously) reduce skybox, seriously rearrange several map components, change the overall orientation of the map, etc...
But don't worry, I will eventually return to this map. As of right now, I think I should pursue a smaller, simpler siege map. I will keep the same general feel as the past map (attacking a castle), although take a new direction, wich should fit inside a smaller map...
I will be creating a map involving an attack on my interpretations of the Flying Fortress of Final Fantasy I. Doing thus allows me to double my map space - half of the map on the ground, half of it in the fortress above the ground. This allows me to have a smaller map (yay) with the same style layout as the previous one.
Then again, I may get really ambitious (bored) one day and work on the original.
