Description | I made this in order to create a space to submit my Map Theory Guide for those without forum accounts, or anyone unable to access the forums for whatever reason.
The map is fully playable and I think a good example of a map made with the theories I've collected. The guide can be found at the end of the comments section. Feel free to feedback on both Guide and map. Enjoy! |

Most people know astheoceansblue for his ingenious map-making skills. Yet some may know him for his harsh yet helpful criticism, and if you do know him, you may also know of his 'map theory' project in which he shows how to "properly" make a creative and tasteful map; while doing this, he still manages to make room for a great deal of atmosphere. Some have referred to him as a god of mapping, and if that is the case then this is the mapping bible. So make sure to always have it to refer to when you catch yourself sinning. — mystro23

5/5
well made
I had some good AGD runs, then I would hit the track pad with my palm... I did that a number of times.

What I do think is ironic is that now with the comments it received post-feature, the original advice posts aren't even on the first page of comments.
To someone who stumbled across this, they might not even figure out it's purpose (outside of being a playable map).

flag, I'm agnostic.
So I'm not sure what the "even you" thing means.
from the "Other Maps by this Author" thing.

mystro is correct.
And personally, I think it's great that this is featured. Maybe not for the map itself, but to draw attention to the awesome mapping guide.

I agree with LUKESV.

Also there is something wrong with your avatar, I'm not disturbed by it.

Granted I think
ATOB has had more than his fair share (does that sound communistic?) of features, but out of all his maps this one deserves it most due it's contribution to the improvement of the quality of mapping.

Wait... You mean this WASN'T
Already featured!?
How many great mappers have started their great journey by taking a few pieces of advice from this map and then slightly altering them to create an awesome style?
I know I have, seriously this should have been featured LONG ago.
