This is where I put my 3 CTM maps. They are CTMs...I am a person, nor am I sure what I am supposed to put here. Maybe I will just mirror my old thread for my PVP map and rant about drunken lemurs...so yeah. I will just quietly walkawaynow...
And of course...I'm following you.
Featured Let's Play The first episode of an LP I choose, probably of my latest map. Watch it for a nice idea of what the map is made of. Current LP: Xenocorpse on Specters
Maps Fate Helix I: Specters
Average Player Rating:7.75 This is a 3 wool CTM map...it is the first in the series, with some vague references to the "mirror." There are a lot of vague plot handhold thingies that are really slippery and might fail miserable, but they will be grabbed on in the next map. This map has much better gameplay than aesthetics, but the first two areas are particularly fun.

not all screenshots are from the most up-to-date version of the maps. They are, or were, versions of areas included in the map.
Fate Helix II: Ember Fields
Currently in progress. See spoiler for screenshots!
Fate Helix III: TBA
If the second has not started, why are you looking at the third?
Something Completely Different I: A.C.I.D. T.R.I.P. I made this map for the Strawberry Jam Competition, with the theme of Journey. It was made in 72 hrs, but really just 48 because of time constraints for me. Anyway, click the spoiler to see my final submission.
My map's finished! Here's the fancy looking post. It's not perfect, but I think this makes up for any issue you may have.
Something Completely Different I: A.C.I.D This is a CTM map thingy. It has one pseudo-intersection, so you decide what to call it. There are three wool blocks. Works on 1.7.2+
thank you for asking, you should play it because there are:
-fany mobs
-battle sticks
-I think there's pretty fun gameplay
-watermelons4dayz
-Boots of Quake_Pro(tection), which are pretty much the best thing ever
WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE THAT THE NAME DOESN'T SOUND LATIN ENOUGH?
you can call it D.A.C.I.U. P.T.R.I.U. instead.
WHAT IS THIS THING ABOUT?
You are a member of the Arial Coverage of Insectoid Developments, specifically the Team for Reconissance of Insectual Properties. You get to go inside a beetle. There are melons. You get shrunk. It's pretty freakin' awesome.
WHY ARE YOU HIDING THE PICTURES FROM ME?
Wow, you're quite the skeptic. Fine.
and download it for this nice fellow. If you played my map, I'm sure you'll love him
Map Ratings These are my map ratings of MY MAPS. My scale is a bit different. A 0 means I hate it and it is not worth your time. 1 is decent, 10 is incredible. So a 5 or something on my scale is like an 6 or 7 on someone else's scale.
Alvarpian Scale of Eternal Wisdom
0-5: I didn't release this map. 5-10: Fun, but some clear weaknesses 10-15: This map is worth your time. Not the best thing ever, but a fun experience. 15-20: A solid map. Small issues with it, but overall, very fun. 20-25: Holy crap. Play this thing. It's great, with only a few small issues. 25-30: If you don't play this map, you are a masochist.
My Ratings of My Maps
Specters:
Gameplay: 6
Aesthetics: 3
Experience/Progression: 5
Total: 14/30-A fun experience, though some areas are cut short a bit.
Other Ratings
Don't be shy about this! You don't have to be part of some group of uptight people who have a specific set of rules, you just have to have an opinion and be able to make a number up and justify it. The more ratings here, the better off the other players are, and I can make better maps in the future!
Specters
GurdStuffTechnic: 7/10 Fate Helix 1 Rating!
Aesthetics: 5/10 I have to say it's not very aesthetically pleasing. Gameplay: 9/10 Near perfect! Very good gameplay! Creativity: 7/10 Could be more creative, decent creativity. Overall: 7/10 A good but rather mediocre map
sethel99: 8.5/10 Great map. It's pretty long and challenging. I'd give it a good 8.5/10

You should label it as Mini-CTM at least for now. Labeling it as a full CTM may confuse people. Some people like to play Minimaps, and others like full CTMs. Overall, not too flashy, but not too bad either!

Since it's a series of 3 maps and there will be one (or two, not decided yet) full CTM(s) in it, I feel like:
-Mini-CTM is still a CTM (complete the monument 'n' stuff)
-It will be a group of maps, and it's hard enough to try to define that.
It's probably worth having this thread moved to the Maps forum instead of Maps Discussion, as that's where most released map threads should be. Definitely looks interesting though, hope you get some good feedback.

ooh, wasn't sure. Should I delete this thread then, or just make it a stub that links to the other one?
Both cool, but maybe switch up the aesthetics style at the intersection with the redstone blocks and the quartz. While it looks decent one time, reusing the same style in this map is NOT a good move. All you should change is the insides, everything else looks great! If not a little bland (then again, one of my test areas for my own first map uses rainbow clay...).

Hmm...that's probably a good idea, especially since I don't want the passages being too much of a focal point when the intersection itself is a wool area.
Just updated Specters. I had a little bit of an oversight with the teleport/spawn to the intersection. If you're not in multiplayer, don't bother. I literally changed one command block.
Aesthetics: 5/10 I have to say it's not very aesthetically pleasing.
Gameplay: 9/10 Near perfect! Very good gameplay!
Creativity: 7/10 Could be more creative, decent creativity.
Overall: 7/10 A good but rather mediocre map.

I guess being really worried about balancing helped a lot. Seriously, while making the map, I thought that would be the worst part. Really great review, adding to main post!
