So, here's another project of mine that I've been working on for almost a week now. Lumini is a 1v1 map that I decided to make- Mostly because I've seen a lot of good 1v1 maps and I wanted to try it myself. Also, The Equinox challenged me to make a 1v1 map, so I thought, "Hmm, I could do that." Challenge met Nox Anyways, I could use some 1v1 testers, so if you're interested, post a comment and I'll send you an invite; Or if you just want to check it out. This is still a work in progress, so some things are subject to change. Enough talking though, time to see the pics.
I really like your windows/tallthin combination windows. Really nice. I think the map has a great atmosphere, or at least looks it, and I'll be looking forward to the release of this.
Is that a classic Halo 1 teleporter in the last pic? I was thinking you should use that for your one of your next maps! I'll take a run through over the map if that's okay with you and give you some suggestions. I'd love to help.
If it is a classic tele, I didn't mean to do it, lol. I'd be happy to show you around the map, though. GT: Im Number Eight
Agreed. It's hard to get a good idea of the map just from the pics. It looks much better in person, IMO. *Sigh* There's nothing like the real thing.
How have I not seen this yet? Although I am not a big fan of 1v1's this map looks pretty interesting. Marcass and I were just wondering the other day why you were on Im number eight and forging...I guess this map answers our question.
Woah, slow down there Octosphere, you honestly release a map probably every week, I have never seen a forger who forges so frequently and with such quality as you. Another amazing map mate, however I would like to see more maps from you which support more players.
Sweet! i'll add you on Xbox live and take a look at your map. Just recommend it to me and I'll send a message to you or something telling you my opinion and suggestions for the map.
I don't release a map every week, lol...Look at the time difference between Elixir and Mirage. If my maps are complete, why not release them? Also, I don't care about supporting more players in a map. I forge for fun and share what I make with the community. If people don't like it, that's too bad. I'm not being mean, btw. Just sharing my thoughts. Thanks for the comment though
Maybe one release a week is an exaggeration, but you've gotta hold the record for being the most constant, quality forger. Even if you aren't releasing a map once a week, you're certainly putting out another awesome preview.
What this guy said. Also, Eightball, how do you get your inspiration. I mean, seriously, you do come out with a map every month at LEAST. Do you live near someplace with some amazing/unique architecture or are you just a gifted forger?
So is this that map you were talking about on my VM? Looks pretty smexy to me. I like your forge style I can see why Anent was an inspiration lol jk I am glad that poeple are using banks more. I think its something different you can put in the map that looks really nice. Plus, are you really going to use all of those ramps? lol Yes, i would love to get a game on here when i get some free time. Iv been wanting a 1v1 with you. We can have a battle to the death! halo style
Personally 8Ball .... I do not like your new maps ( Mirage and This One) Because you are now forging map that i can say Its forge by Longshot , Erupt or AceOfSpades . Your Old maps that you made before thoose were so amazing and when i play on your New map ..... I dont .... Feel any Magic on your map .(Each Forgers have his litle magic on each of there maps) Anyway ..... I want to see 8Ball forging not an illusion that is forged by Longshot or Erupt . Thanks
I get my inspiration from a few guys named Longshot, Erupt, Psychoduck, Nibbles, Rorak Kuroda, AceOfSpades (List keeps going on) I also brainstorm a bit- throwing different pieces together to come up with designs that I like. I usually, with this map at least, have to try different layout styles. Kuroda probably remembers when I had a double grav-lift with a gap in the middle, but I removed that to produce something more effective. Basically my inspiration comes from the wonderful forgers above and a bit of experimenting/ brainstorming- whatever you want to call it. Also, gifted isn't the word. I used to be a terrible forger, but I've worked hard to get where I am today. Sure I may not be the best forger, but that's not going to stop me from trying to be. [br][/br]Edited by merge: I decided to use banks to cut down on building blocks a bit, and yeah they do look nice. Looking forward to our 1v1 > [br][/br]Edited by merge: I see what you're saying, but forging is more than just throwing fancy pieces together. Layouts are more important than looks. Although, Mirage's looks are just as good as its layout. Have you downloaded it and looked at it personally?
Yes .... and i though that i was walking in a map forged by Erupt and Longshot .... But i know that the layouts is important but your old map was more way good .
Well, I'm not sure if I should be offended or not. But just cause Longshot, Ace, Eightball and I don't build our maps purely around looks, doesn't mean our maps are bad. Or in Eightball's case, worse than our previous ones. If anything, Eightball's maps are getting better and better. Aesthetics shouldn't run off of unnecessary objects, aesthetics should be built into the map, creating a clean look. So just because the maps don't have tons of windows, lights and decorative pieces, it doesn't mean it's bad. A map WITH all of that would be bad. For a few reasons. The main one being framerate. Anyways, think I've made that point. Eightball, I certainly like the look of this. Much more than your 2 recent ones. I'd like to take a look/play a game on it sometime.
How comes whatever perfections you were talking about yesterday? Also, Moth, you, Noxy, and I kicked ass in multiplayer.
Thanks man, I appreciate it and don't be offended, your maps are amazing. Everything you have said is true. My maps were solely based on aesthetics and didn't focus on gameplay whatsoever. I changed my forging style to get my maps noticed on a higher level than just aesthetic appeal. Anyways, I'd be glad to show you around the map, maybe even 1v1 if you'd like.
