Felipe, I'm extremely happy that this is finished and out there. You've put so much time and effort into it that it's simply astounding. You should have kept track of all the hours spent making this like the Castlanche guy did! Haha. Anyway, this map is not only my favorite aesthetic map ever, but it's one of my favorite playable ones as well. The gameplay on this thing is incredible, especially considering how difficult it must have been to balance the gigantic spider towering over Blackout with the rest of the map. When I first thought up the idea for a giant spider this summer when we were doing volunteer work I honestly didn't think it was possible, but you've soundly proven me wrong.
Massive kudos to you for actually building something breathtaking. Maps with a "WOW" factor are seldom seen these days, and it's really refreshing to see one. When I first loaded up your map and looked into the sky I pretty much shat my pants. This is by far the biggest (and most badass) aesthetic structure ever created! Nothing even remotely compares to the size of this spider, and the fact that you've created it with Blackout's terrible Forge palette goes to show just how innovative a Forger you are and have become. Few maps can impress total Forge-nubs like this one can. Many times when total strangers have joined my testing parties they've freaked out and exclaimed things like "Is this even possible?!" and "Holy crap!! It's a giant spider!"
This map will definitely be an inspiration to aesthetic map creators now and in the foreseeable future. 8 Emerald Legs will go down in Forge history along with End of the Line as one of the aesthetic maps that just plain blew everyone away. I wouldn't doubt a Feature (and you attaining Premium) or even a BoF nomination for this map. It's seriously that good. Excellent job!
