    After seeing Prismer by Gunnergrunt and Ell3ment, I was inspired to create a map based on the same style. However I had to make it my own as well, so I took to the skies of sandbox and started constructing a prisoner map of my own.

    This is what I have so far so tell me what you think.

    P.S. Ignore floating objects.

    This I can see being a great map for playing on. I look forward to playing it just it looks a bit plain. I know you will make it look more colourful

    Haha. I've also been inspired by prismer. Welcome to the club. Anyways, it looks fantastic so far. The windows and walkways are certainly clean.

    By the way, you have 555 posts.

    Same here, Prismer has to be one of my all-time favorite maps. This is looking great though, I love the style of the flowing jumps and walkways Prismer had, and you certainly make your point with this. But are you including falling hazards (falling off map) in the map? If so, railings are probably neccesary and I say that hopefully you can make it work on par with Prismer's superiority, possibly better, I have no doubt in you, Myth. If this lives up to be successfully completed, you must invite me, I dying to test maps let alone play customs, so hopefully I can get in onsome of this. Good luck!

    This looks incredibly promising--I'm looking forward to the jumps possible throughout the levels and everything in the map. By the way, idea for the name--Air Square? Sounds kind of lame, I know, but I'm just trying to brainstorm suggestions for you here.

    ...He was just saying it because of the triple digits, thus making it notable. Quit trying to increase your post count.

    so... I assume you now have an xbox and/or live, right?

    Map's looking good so far, urban. Kinda reminds of Assassins Creed 2. dunno why, I've been playing too much of it recently I suppose.

    Be sure to include some sexy tactical jumps, that was my favorite part of Prismer :D

    yeah it looks really good. I also think that all the points on the map where you could fall off could get quite annoying, so i would also put some rails in. But you could make it more colourful with a few of the lights, also the coloured columns. but apart from that it really does look good.

    If you added weapons and spawn points to the mix, it would make for a great map. However, you should DEFINETLY add more aethetics to the map. :combat:

    But... the whole map is floating :p No but seriously it looks pretty cool, a bit like Lockout. Keep working on it.

    ...Um...Yes? You might want to read the tag that says "Map preview" as in "The map isn't done yet". Of course he's going to put spawn points and weapons on the map! I can't think of a single reason why he wouldn't. Not to mention that aesthetics are added AFTER the layout is made.

    Man, I'm already excited for this. I've been obsessing over any FFA maps made on Sandbox, and this definantly fits into that category. Keep going, Urban!
