Description	a storm is coming...

This map was featured on 2011-06-18

If someone were to put together a chronological list of the most "important" maps in NUMA history, prologue: darker clouds would unquestionably be on it. When it came out it was quite unique (dare I say ... groundbreaking?) -- and it's still one of the best-playing elegant maps I've ever seen.

prologue is one of a handful of atob maps from this time that spawned countless imitations. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and featuring is a close second. — flagmyidol

Agd (underclocked)

This map has a so perfect gameplay.
Each moves I do make me enjoy this more.
And the aesthetic was really innovative I guess.
I 5aved this without hesitation.

Although having said that

I'd like to hope atob used my earlier balloons map for inspiration

@ethel

I started the balloon theme in that map, and I pulled it directly from here. So yeah, this did spawn your map, albeit indirectly.

One of the most deserving features for a long time. Brilliant map.

I got my baloon inspiration from "Sleepy City Ballooning",the mintnut and losttortuga collab.

Idk if you could call that an imitation. Regardless i made another map inspired by this, it just wasn't a balloon theme.

are you sure?

i find it hard to believe that it took 147513 maps for one to use balloon/blimp things with normal doors. have you checked them all? besides other people could have come up with the same idea without ever having seen this or other balloon maps. take the invention of calculus for example. i made a blimp map too without having seen this or any other balloon/blimp maps. 167245

So here's where it all started eh? Nice.

But yeah, I get what you are saying about the gameplay mechanics being the same, I guess it's merely the aesthetics that change.

And I guess every good design that people overuse and eventually kill was/will be created by you?
