I'm relieved when I see you. I really want to play the full version of Taisha as soon as possible. Thank you for the hard work of the author.Keep going.

Just wanted to give another update on the map again: Since I last posted in April, I was in the process of redoing parts of the map and I have a compiled version of this map ready. However after taking some time off and focusing on other projects, I decided to revisit the map once again and gained new inspiration for fixing some of the map's flaws. This includes (but is not limited to) architecture fitting with map theme, unfair engagements, and inconsistent theming.

At the moment I am currently the only one working on the map, with the other collaborators preoccupied with their own projects. This will be a step back in the artpass as more of the redesigned buildings will barely have any art done for them, but I rather get a version of the map prepared for the inevitable artpass, which should pass along quickly since I'm confident with this version.

Thank you everyone for your continued support, and I hope my passion for the map can come through clearly with this upcoming version.

Pls finish this map :)

I like the layout and style of this map. How is the progress now? I'm still looking forward to it.

Hey everyone just wanted to give a little update on development so far. We've all slowed down since unfortunately not making Stage 3, but I am primarily looking to tweak some areas of the map and see what I can do personally to up my artpassing skills to be up to par. I can't guarantee any dates or planned deadlines, but the map is far from dead.

this map is not fully finished but I can see the vision and I like it, pls finish

Sure, don't take my word for it and playtest it as much as you can! It flows pretty well imo, you are doing a great job.

Note aside, I've also checked and you were right, the food stand is not wallbangable. Besides that, I've noticed a clipping issue on sauna window, a minor issue.

Visually it is gonna look outstanding once its finished.

Thanks for the feedback! I've taken the effort to widen the mid engagement so we'll see how that affects gameplay, it's been a while since I've run a proper playtest so I'll make sure to get that assessed ASAP. I could've sworn the food stand wasn't wallbangable a lot but maybe I'm mistaken. But thanks for checking out the map!

I liked the drop to sauna and the round temple bombsite, and of course, those awesome models. Congratulations.

I haven't playtested it with players so I can't afirm it, but I felt like middle was too narrow for the amount of activity that could be going on there. I am not sure either about the food truck being wallbangable.

Looking forward to seeing it complete, looks pretty nice!

Muchos gracias Coom

DAYUM THIS LOOKS GOOD

Good map

@NakedAgent We're repositioning the washing station to be more in-front of the tower gate (since we were planning to minimize that area of the map), so hopefully that's a little more accurate.

Fantastic! Of course Japanese design is always a great start. I would like to point out that the hand washing station is currently hidden away on the side in a separate area. I have never seen this in reality in Japan or elsewhere. I have only seen the washing station directly outside the big gate or temple entrance (where T spawn). Maybe any Shinto enthusiast could shed more light on the proper location.

Good job !

good map

Best of luck in the map contest!
I made a little showcase video to boost your motivation. Hopefully!
