    I've got you a sweet cooking in the oven as you read this, a map in the works. Tis' called "Writer's Mind." There is a long story behind this map, buried in the depths of even my own mind. It is so deep, I don't think you'll ever know. Many ideas have gone through this map, going from an Invasion map to Infection. It was even going to have a forklift, and even on the Invasion map you had to destroy the forklift, your main objective. A bit crazy, all these ideas, yes. Lucky for you, they've been scrapped. Am I getting off track? Sorry, onward to the map.

    So here it is, "Writer's Mind". Forged by me and me alone. The map seems to be good for a 2v2 or even 3v3. I have no clue, I built the map in a a few day's time. Inspiration for the map came from yet again, my mind. You say you shouldn't add art to a space rocket station? Well screw you. I'll provide you with two pictures, and only two pictures...for now.

    Enjoy.

    Yes first comment!!! The pics on here look sick, like bent over the toilet puking rainbows sick. Hopefully the rest of it does this part justice. If you need testers I won't hesitate to join. GT xDTx Kaos.

    I do agree, the pics look nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this. Hit me up sometime, when I'm on.

    This looks pretty cool, though I would like to see the layout of the map more.

    You might want to re-consider the name; Writer's Mind was a rather popular mini-game that was the inspiration for Speed by Darth Human.

    Space Rocket Station

    The two, and only two, pictures peaked my interest, but it is difficult to tell what the map is all about. Your intense and wandering description didn't really talk about the map.

    Still, I'd like to see the rest of it based off those pics.

    You did break the first rule of forging, though: Never try to add art to a space rocket station.

    Thanks, I'll keep you posted.

    I am trying to resist showing many people, but, urgh, feedback, it breaks me! Alright then.

    Awe, really? *sad face* The inspiration of the name and map came from a place in a short story I wrote in Language class. The layout is a bit small, a squared layout, about 20x20 blocks wide. Just big enough for a 1v1 or 2v2. I haven't finished with the mechanics and spawns. I'm actually trying to find some one to do that for me, since my abilitys in forge are limited to object placement, not mechanics.

    I'm trying to raise hype. If I could tell you anything about the map, it would be that the aesthetics and map layout seem to please some people. Zatherla was even impressed with everything, conisidering he is a god when it comes to aesthetics.

    Oh, and screw you. ;)

    Im liking the inspiration, and that you pretty much forged the map as you saw in your mind. I like the aesthetics, I wish more maps were capable of really bringing out full aesthetic potential while still being very competitive. But the budget even though increased in Reach, still doesnt allow us to go crazy with our eyes *Sad face*. I've scrapped several maps or just havent released them, mostly due to feeling like I wish people could really see what I truly want a design to become or appear to be.

    In general im more of a 4 vs 4 player or BTB, but I must say gosh I love how these 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2 maps turn out they look so nicee. I cant wait to see more of this ;) so far the pictures really draw my interest.
