    This is the map after the update

    Some updates that I am doing are:


    • Making the platform 2 blocks wide instead of 1 = Done
    • Making the middle wall larger =Done
    • Creating a safer launch platform =Done
    • Figuring a new Attack platform--need opinions on this*
    *The attack platform is the area where people are shooting rockets from. There are a couple ideas floating around on how to use this area

    -using a Gauss Turret instead of rockets. CHOSEN.

    -Replacing rockets
    with a Brute Shot

    -Putting Instant-Respawning Stick grenades in place of rockets




    This original new Mini game will have your stomach fluttering for more!

    Coming soon...

    You've seen one picture, and have no idea what the concept is...I highly doubt your post was made for anything other than raising your Post Count up.

    Your post only boosts your post count because it has no reference to the thread and is more like spam.

    Anyway back on topic. This map looks very original from what we can see but are you able to give us any details on the game type. After you give us some sort of an idea about the gametype we cant make good posts. From the pictures however it does look like it involevs players chucking their flags from one layer of sandbox to the next?
    correct me if i'm wrong.

    Lol at the first two posts. Looks like what you're getting at here is dropping the flag down to the ground level of Sandbox, or flying it over a gap using gravity lifts. We don't know the concept yet, that's why it's a preview. Keep up the work, whatever it is...

    Looks rather interesting to me, I assume you don't want to tell us how it works?

    I'm working out some kinks right now, but I'm trying to keep it as secret as possible.

    One thing I'll say is that it only involves the skybubble..not the main floor or the crypt.

    It seems like in the picture where the Spartan is throwing the flag, that on the right side you've blurred out some man-cannons and a teleporter? Or maybe I'm just seeing things.

    When I saw that I thought it said "Fly Fags Flay" (No offence intended) and then I double checked.

    This isn't a preview by the way, it's a ****ing teaser. More info?

    hmm concept im kinda getting is player gravity is too high for the player to jump in the mancannons to carry it away from that strange platform.. so he has to drop the flag in mancannons to launch it towards your team mates who need to catch it??

    It seems like someone jumps in a teleporter and launches the flag somewhere. Whether or not im completely wrong has nothing to do with me liking that concept. I think its a cool idea which is what I meant in my first post. That goes to you Conker and kid who posted below me.

    Twas a nice test. Definitely fix the cheating part, and definitely use the rockets like we used in the last game we played. It was reeally fun though.

    Thanks. I'll be sure to invite you if we are testing.

    Some updates that I am doing are:


    • Making the platform 2 blocks wide instead of 1
    • Making the middle wall MUCH larger
    • Creating a safer launch platform
    • Figuring a new Attack platform--need opinions on this*
    *The attack platform is the area where people are shooting rockets from. There are a couple ideas floating around on how to use this area

    -using a Gauss Turret instead of rockets. This is one I will definitely check into

    -Replacing rockets with a Brute Shot

    -Putting Instant-Respawning Stick grenades in place of rockets

    -Fuel Rod?

    I like the idea of increasing platform width, since I jumped off several times. A fuel rod would be unnecessary in my opinion

    Ok I think I know what the game is going to be now but I still have no clue about that large wall in the middle of path.
