Hey there, Crimson here. And welcome to my Work-In-Progress CTM map thread. Here, you will find some of my work, how progress is doing, and pretty much other stuff and things. So... Without further ado, let's jump right into it!
NEWS
This is now being re-imagined.
You see, it was incomplete back then and it's still incomplete now and nothing has been recently worked on. So, I'm making a change for the [aCTM]'s future. New things, new map.
About my map... To be technical, my map is classified as an [aCTM] map. And that stands for Adventure-Complete the Monument. But why is it classified as an [aCTM]? Well, it's mainly because my map will feature some cool RPG aspects. Yep, my map will have an RPG feel when playing in-game.
This map also features some interesting lore and background history, along with characters.
Since I'm talking about what my map features...
Customized Items
Customized Monsters
Custom Item Mechanics
Intriguing Characters
Biomes
Lore & Background History
References
And more!
Does that cover our statement? Good. Now, let's move on.

Progress Status:
You can check to see the status of how my sections of my map are doing.
Here are the indicators:
- Completed
- WIP
- Recently Started / In the early stages.
- Not Built
---
- The Silent Circle (Starting Area)
The area requires some tweaking and some extra surroundings.
- Taiga
Requires much more work.
- Chamber of the Lost Treasure (1st Dungeon)
Aesthetically complete.
- Null Chamber
Is being planned.
- Snow
This biome's landscape is complete.
Structures, items, monsters, and such things are required to advance further.
- Snow Fort (2nd Dungeon)
Requires a name. Its current name is a placeholder.
Structures inside the walls are required.
An ice cavern is planned.
Please keep in mind that this is NOT the full list. There will be more content for my map soon.

Here is "Alpha 0.1 (The View)". But now, this will be taken down as I am no longer working on this map, but I will work on a new map.

And... That is pretty much it. I will post some updates for this when some things are completed. Well, wish me luck on this! Thanks.
I am doing some testing with WorldPainter just to see how some things work and I think I'm getting the hang of it.
I'm also having some ideas for a custom area called "The Diamond Mine". Your main goal is to grab as many treasures as you can within a time limit. Each treasure is worth a certain amount of points. You can spend these points to grab some customized items. It would be like a hidden mini-game. What do you think?
So... I'm working on some structures for the Snow and I was hoping to get some first thoughts and suggestions on this. Don't mind about how the land looks flat in the screenshot. I will be working on that soon.

Anyways, can I has feedback?

Looks nice, but it's a bit bland above and below that middle section.
Glad to see you are making slow, but steady progress!
Yup.
In other news, the Snow Fort (the 2nd Dungeon) is being made currently. There will be a top-half and a bottom-half. Surface and cavern. I feel like the bottom-half should resemble a ice cavern. Hmm... Yeah, just letting you guys know that I'm working on the second dungeon.
I will be going on vacation starting tomorrow. Therefore, I cannot work on my map. Though, I'll still be able to check out the forums (and other sites).
Yeah, just letting you know that I will be going away for a while. Las Vegas!

Thanks for your support. It didn't take too much time to create the thread, but I did make a rough draft of what it may look like.
Meanwhile, I start to make plans for making the Snow biome.
Ah, it's always nice to have supporters.
In other news, I have updated the 'News' section.

Yeah, I was going to replace some of the Snow blocks with Packed Ice as it seems to fit well.
I changed that. Now with different landscape!

Hey, I finished the Snow's landscape!
Therefore, the Progress Status is updated!
Now, I need to add some structures, custom trees, Snow-themed items (like Frostburn Grenade), and such things.
And I feel like this song is a good theme. Please listen to it. It's amazing.
THIS!!!

... just trust me. Right click them.
And feel free to incorporate this design in somewhere or, you know, just ignore it
Thank you for your suggestion.
A structure like this can really make an appearance for the Snow biome.
EDIT: Can you make a schematic for this?
Yup.
In other news, the Snow Fort (the 2nd Dungeon) is being made currently. There will be a top-half and a bottom-half. Surface and cavern. I feel like the bottom-half should resemble a ice cavern. Hmm... Yeah, just letting you guys know that I'm working on the second dungeon.

The littlest of things make something look much, much better.
I am back from vacation. If you want to know how it went, please send me a PM about my vacation.
Starting tomorrow, I will resume where I was working on, which was the snow fort itself. Its design is currently being worked on.
And... That's it. If you need me, I'll be playing Bejeweled 3 on Steam. See you later!
But don't worry! This is only temporary and may last for a few days. Well, see you later!
And I'm currently working on a project that has been mention in a post before. Diamond Mine. Remember? Well, I remember.
In this special mini-game, you must collect as many treasures as you can within a time limit. You'll use your two tools to help you out.
