What I was sent contained 4 Intersection 1 areas, and two finished intersection 2 areas, with a hollowed out space for a third that was not completed.
Man, it is kind of sad that he didn't even get that far....maybe somebody can finish it someday, can you at least say the areas are pretty? Or are they sub-par?

I wouldn't say finish it and release it per se, but why not a minimap with however many objectives he's placed? That way we can still get the intended experience without having it "corrupted" by some other mapmaker because the vision for the map and gameplay intent may differ.

There's several gorgeous ones, and one really rough and unfinished one, from I1.

That was basically my thought. Basically, tweak and polish it if he doesn't plan to, and let his fans play it for realsies.
5. Whatever the heck Draco_Rogue comes out with next
Wheeee!
And I'm kinda on the fence about if Draco is actually going to release another CTM map. It sounds like he's currently on a month-long vacation, and at that he's been majorly focused on maps for Overcast Network.
The white wool area of A Song of Life, Fortress Ascendia, has now been structurally completed. I will now continue by creating the monument area, The Siren Forest, before moving on with the wool areas.

Sorry for double posting. Don't hurt me.
First off, that picture looks really nice. The lighting you've got going on is especially good, and the land structures are amazing.
Zooming in on the picture a bit, I noticed a few things that could use improvement. For one, you might want to replace the white clay with something else. If it's there to be an indicator to the wool type, that's an okay idea, but it doesn't work with the colorscheme that you've got going. I'd suggest chiseled stone bricks to replace them. Also, the tower on the right could use a bit more depth, as well as some more details at the bottom. You seem to be pretty heavily relying in iron bars for detailing, but in my experience they only add a bit of depth when viewed up close or when used in an already pushed-back section of wall. The arches under the bridge could also use a bit more structure/beefyness. The dark spots that seem to be randomly distributed around the structure also don't really seem like they fit, unless they've got some kind of purpose.
So yeah, that's about all the feedback I can think of to give. It really does look good, just could use a bit more adjusting.

Waaaaaaahhh... My map isn't on anyones wishlist *sniff* also, why did no one respond to my previous community question, does no one like Discworld or did no one want to respond?
Top 7 in order:
1) Speluncaphobia (Looking fantastic so far in terms of aesthetics and gameplay!)
2) Dreadsky Depths (Also looking great, and it's from a more experienced mapmaker.)
3) Simulation Protocol 2 (Very tough choice between this one and #2, almost made it a tie)
4) Septum Immoriel (This one would probably be at #2 or 3, but I'm not sure how well I will do considering it's going to be super difficult)
5) The Stars Beyond (The main reason this is at #5 is because of how close it is to completion. Isn't it in testing right now?)
6) A Song of Life (That one screenshot looks great!)
7) Titan's Revolt, if it's still going on.
And also, Sync would be at spot #1 on the list if it hadn't been cancelled.
My Real List:
1: The Painter
2: United Caverns
3: Septum Immoriel (just realized ive been calling this map Septum Immortal :P)
4: Dreadsky Depths
5: Titan's Revolt
Hey there, all. I stream CTMs as well as other indie games, Minecraft servers and probably that's it. I'm your supreme overlord too so I command you to CHECK ME OUT: www.twitch.tv/techniclepanther
1. WTF I'm working on
2. Septic Immoriel
3. Speluncapeanutbutter
4. TOTES TOTS
5. Whatever Wiggles comes back with as an excuse to give us a new map because he misses us <3

Furries are cool.

Woah.
Also remember all those books at Waking Up that everyone have read?

Thanks, but I think you mean Drago.

2. Speluncaphobia
3. Septium Immoriel
4. Legends of Argonia (Like I said, if Draco ever releases it.)

Septum Immoriel was never originally Sync
Furries are cool.

Oh man. There's a lot of them for me.

Hi!
