DrDean:
Is it soon yet?
The Cy:
I think this thread needs another encouragement again, because in my opinon SSL created one of the most beautiful maps so far and I really want to see this baby come to live again. let's take another look at the trailer he made some time ago to get in the right mood again:
and let's hear what the unicorn has to say about it:
Jonathon [SSL]:
Fun fact: I started this map when I was 13, I'm 21 now. Still remember putting down the first brush for the basement section on a hand-me-down Celeron computer with a CRT screen.
IMO, this map hasn't aged well, especially when you compare it to the newer stuff in the mod *cough cough Luchador*. I never got good at making static props, so I ended up abusing Source's brush system a lot and using props/textures from other maps as well as trying to have an extreme attention to detail with the lighting and brushwork to compensate.
To be release ready, it either needs some kind of art pass, or a unanimous vote among the dev team of "fuck it, it's fine" since I don't want to have the lowest quality map in the mod. Right now it could pass as a really pretty third party map or a leftover beta 3 map.

I don't agree, I think your selling yourself short on the quality aspect. This map looks great in my opinion, better than some of the maps that install with GE:Source... You could always release a Beta for testing and feedback, and maybe even get some people on board. Either way I think this map is most certainly worth the go ahead :)
