    Yeah, I'll be sure to add you for some games. As for the name, it's not up to me. I'm letting the community decide. I like both a lot.

    If we can make suggestions for the name I vote for "Gray" or "Gray with a hint of piss yellow" if that fits. I'm not one to talk about gray maps though. If I'm online at some point I'll ask for an invite. I (kind of) trust flamingo's judgement.

    That bridge in the middle really reminds me of the Divide. Feature plox?

    I know there's a lot of gray- not much I can do that I haven't already done, but piss yellow? Really?

    I could always use more testers, if you're interested, hit me up.

    The yellow looks cool, but any yellow can be described as piss yellow. Trust me I have made maps with much more gray. How's framerate with the light? I'd say it might be a problem but with that little glass and such an enclosed map it might be ok.

    Yeah, I see what you mean. It's actually an orange light, btw. Um, as for framerate, this is actually one of the only maps that I've made that can pull off using a light that doesn't cause framerate lag.

    I'm glad you noticed I didn't use much glass. I was trying to avoid anything with glass and lights.

    I vote Pyre. I'm so hipster.

    Also, I like.

    EDIT FOR NARCISSISM : Reminds me a bit of Jia (in terms of objects used)

    Mirage

    Ember just seems overused.

    I think I've only seen Ember used once and it didn't even fit the map. More people are choosing Ember. That will probably end up being the name, if Mirage doesn't get any more votes.

    I second Rho's Pyre. It seems like the word ive been searching for. Now that I have it in my head I dont like Mirage or Ember.

    On Topic: Having played this multiple times, I can honestly say that I will nom this for both feature and FHF the moment it is released. I played it three times in a row and still wanted to keep going, like any good map should do for you. I hope your maps continue to preogress as they are doing currently.

    Well, is Pyre even a word? In the end, I will most likely name the map that gets the most votes. Thanks for your comments about the map, too. I feel it may just be better than Elysium.

    Pyre = Fire synonym. Essentially.

    A pyre is a thing you burn someone on. They are generally made of fagots.
    I vote for pyre.

    A pile of anything combustible things. Or a ceremonial burning thing.

    You must forge 10 maps at a time, sir. It seems like every other map is one of yours haha. It sucks you're going to name it whatever wins in votes, because Ember is just lame. It sounds like a sister map to Erupt's "Burn," which is what I immediately thought of when I saw that option for the title.

    As nice of a map Burn is, this has to relativity to it. I had no inspiration from it- The only thing that's SLIGHTLY similar is the name. Pyre is....Not my optimal choice. I think I'm going to vote for Mirage.

    pyre/pīr/
    Noun: A heap of combustible material, esp. one for burning a corpse as part of a funeral ceremony

    Just doesn't sound good, IMO.
