    Simply astonishing. It leaves me wishing there were more rooms to explore. So, it's a shame the object limit is tapped out but that's understandable when you look at all of the detail, floors, and other architecture. Everything about this is awesome. Excellent work, Bacon.

    Who are you talking to and what are you talking about? I guess I have to guess. Are you saying all of the objects went into the elevators? Looks like those are not even 200 objects, including the non-working ones.

    Have you thought about or tried to remove some of the bottom floors to get the object count down to make another detailed hotel room somewhere? Are you suppose to even go down to the bottom floor of the map? It didn't look like it, but there was a weapon down there.

    Oh yea that BR has been there ever since it was made a weapon in the game (also how long this map has been sitting around for lol) and the extra floors are there just to be there. It's something to look at. Both the game, and real world atrium are much much larger and id rather keep those floors just to add scale to the map. There's really no purpose other than just looking at them. They don't cost much budget either so it's not worth getting rid of them. I'd say I'm pretty satisfied with the progress I've made within the budget I have available so I can't complain that the budget is too small. Any larger and the frame rate issue would've become a problem.

    Did you happen to use some of my furniture prefabs in the map? Seems like it, if not used directly, seems like they're highly inspired :p Looks good to see them implemented into a map :) Good job!

    I never use anybody else's prefabs. Thats a big no no in my book. This furniture was inspired though; I didn't pioneer the use of sandbags before this. Unfortunately I've seen a number of people who also use the same concept so I don't know who to credit for the founding there of... sorta like the discovery of using decals for lighting glitches.

    Okay well I'm not going to 100% claim it but I released my prefabs on the release of the system and also got featured for it. I got a bunch of praise from all angles for pursuing furniture designs. Sorry for assuming but a lot of people have used my prefabs now as well as them being put into some matchmaking maps. But not to worry, was just asking. Thanks for the reply.

    Some nice stuff man. Just to let you know we take forge seriously, especially prefab theft. Here's some clarity:

    Jeez you're coming across pretty hostile, I was just assuming that they were used/inspired.

    You say people are a disgrace if they use prefabs but you then say you'd just make your own. There's no copyright or trademarking on prefabs or anything in this game for that matter. I was just going on the fair play rules on if it was inspired I'd like to know... Plenty of people have admitted to me they used them without even knowing it was me because of the duplicates and copies of all of my prefabs. I feel your approach to not using prefabs is more hostile and to make a statement than to actually be "fair" and have "morals" on the system. Just seems to be a statement to be different.

    Your video hardly applies to me and just seems like a rant of aggressive connotations towards some one kid.

    Lastly chill out, maybe there's a reason I kept my distance from joining up in the forge community. Some of you come across very on-edge, personal and take things way over-the-top when you apply it to the context of the situation.

    Thanks for replying I guess, although I feel this came too far from me just asking a question.

    Nonetheless, I just won't ask in future. I'm not up for the serious side of a video game. Thanks again.
