    Well, If you guys are reading this almost a year after it has been released. I thank you. So this is apartment 5B. Not the house 5B, or the Condo 5B. Just apartment 5b, an aesthetic map that uses a new technology that a group of recent scientists discovered that can be used for aesthetics. Spawn art! From the pictures hanging on the walls, to your digital clock, to the roman numeric clock located in your room, you have it all in your new apartment. Feeling lonely? Grab some ice-cream and watch old movies on your 60 inch LCD TV! Feeling Tired? Why not catch some Z's on your luxurious Queen sized bed, with enough room for two, but you and I know you will be the only one ever sleeping in there. How about some dinner downtown? No problem! Just head right down the elevator and build a downtown yourself! Well that's enough of me talking, don't want you to see a wall of text, when you should be on this map looking at a wall of roman numerals. But for now, The pictures:


    Open Concept kitchen/living room.

    Kitchen+bar

    Master Bedroom
    [​IMG]

    Living Room/Sitting Area

    Dining area

    I did not take pictures of the elevator and the bathroom. so you will have to download... see how i made you download? your clicking it right now. told you.

    Wow this is amazing. Your attention to detail is ridiculous. Every piece of furniture looks like it's one object instead of a compilation of Forge bits.

    I've never seen a map use the smallest details of different objects at the level this one does (Camping stool legs as cabinet handles??!!)

    Your incorporation of the different colored Spawn Cams is definitely very creative, and it contributes to the whole apartment atmosphere in a great way. And the clock! ohhh the CLOCK!

    Bummer its only best in Forge, but I'm definitely giving this a download. Excellent work!

    Great map! The aesthetics are physically amazing and beyond words good. The only true problem that faced me was the fact that this has almost no possible way of being a game mode which saddens me, because I would have loved to play a game mode on somethings this great! None the less great job and defiantly a GREAT MAP! :D

    When you showed me this I didn't think it was real..I could not believe the attention to detail. This is without a doubt on of the best aesthetic maps. I didn't know you already posted this, but it's seriously jaw-dropping. Outstanding work man.

    Edit: Some of these pictures don't show some of the other amazing detail in this map. I HIGHLY suggest you take more pictures of the "Pictures" in this map, Zath.

    oh my god zatherla, you are the reason I am on this site. Seeing maps like this is an inspiration to other forgers for what can be done. I dont know if I've seen anyone put aesthetic maps of the same quality as you (other than grim, but thats a different type of map). Keep making gems like this and you are going to go places.

    You use spawns and the corner points on them, the same for a lot more detailed parts on the map. This is why he doesn't have a game mode though, because those spawns would effect the game! :D

    ... One word: AMAZING! This is one of the best aesthetic maps I've seen! I don't know how you made most things, Do you have to be in forge to see like the food and the clock etc.?
    Nice job anyways!

    I remember this kid randomly adding me and showing off his mini-forge world...I think he said he'd just joined FH. Gotta say, your aesthetic ingenuity is off the hook. The use of spawns points and cameras is clever as hell, even if you can only see the map's complete glory in forge mode.

    This is easily THE MOST detailed indoor aesthetic map I have EVER seen. The lamps look incredible, the stools are awesome, and I would love to know how you made that sweet clock! This is absolutely amazing!!!
    (LOOK AT THAT FREAKIN' CLOCK!!) OMG!!

    I would assume it's just the narrow part of a spawn point? Anyway, this house looks pretty good, with a smexy clock, too. How'd you get such a round trash can?

    Oh my lord, this is got to be the best map ever, from the clock, the table, the clock, the bar, did I say the clock. I have already downloaded this map. It is great in forge but not so good in custom games. But its a great place for us to hang out, I even use this place for some of our clan meetings if you don't mind. But overall best map ever. I give a 10.9/10.

    But I only have one thing that I wish you could do. The bed in my opinion isn't the best thing in the world, but it just needs a few touch-ups. But other than that: This map is by far the best home map ever. I really do hope you continue on this hot streak of your building and make a lot of things, like a ship or a hanger, I bet you can use your ideas for controls and stuff like that. Oh yea btw If you want to join the clan, fell free to ask.

    :) Great job

    can i say something? this is possably one of the greatest maps i've seen so far. the detail is mind-blowing and the effort... how long did you spent on this? Several hours doesn't even seem enouph..!

    I had the idea of making a house in forge. But this is one of those rare times i'd say, "i'm glad you beat me to it"

    Congrats! the first map i've ever given a...
    *10/10*
