Map Preview Octo-Ocho; By CaMOfo

[CaMOfo]

Created by: CaMOfo

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the lumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Info
I've been working on this map for a short time now, I put around 9-10 hours in it as of 10/25. I'll try to post a new picture everday and keep you guys updated on how far along I am with the project. I want to make this map a playable aesthetic, me being inspired by the Premium member here FelipeDos. I have failed to accomplish it by the HoTD end date considering I can't get any decent testing done. :/

I'm game for a name change and any sort of ideas you guys might want to throw at me. Please share.

OSHI-

This looks pretty sick, the pic really helps.

What an epic idea though, an octopus on Longshore...

I don't know if that was sarcasm, but I'm trying to build hype. If you give out the whole map people won't keep going to your thread, wanting to see more. :]

:O

CaMOfo makes maps? You gotta let me check this out later today or tomorrow.

I believe he has found the answer for the need for a new name.

Oh, I am VERY serious. I wanna see how this map goes, especially if you're going for an Eight Emerald Legs style.

You beat me to my own edit.

You showed me this a while ago, I thought you did a great job on it, especially with the tentacles and what you used to make them. Some of the tentacles are placed in really cool positions. Hope this map works as good as you hope it will.

I'm intrigued to see more.

Also, nice job on making it look like a security camera shot.

Nice looking map CaMOfo! At first I couldn't tell what those tentacles were made out of... But now I see. Nice Boxtopus! I can't wait to find out what it looks like in the end.

I'd say it's possible to turn this into a competitive map. Just keep working with it. Build around the kraken but not on it. Maybe make a battle on two different large boats. Perhaps capture the flag?

The squid is actually not going to effect gameplay at all. I'm cutting off half of Longshore and building new ramps and walkways, its goin to be a small 4v4 map at most. But yes, it's going to be compatiable with all gametypes.
