Get Excited

Yes, get excited. Why, why Mander, why? Because shit is going down.

First off yes, I have been out of comission on here for far too long. Why, you ask? Exams, I say. Moving on, there will be a lot of action on here coming up this very week.

I currently have a number of maps on the go (meaning that they are in the process of being forged) and some videos planned to be made and uploaded this week. So what have I been working on?

Well, I've been working on my first competitive map "Altitude" which takes place in Sanbox's Sky Bubble. Altitude will be a six-story map compatable with all gametypes and yes, as you may have noticed, it's unique feature is its height, something that I'm surprised other forgers haven't taken advantage of.

Next, I started a map on Foundry called "Jail Break" where basically Cops & Robbers meets puzzle maps. There will be one guard on duty (the infected) and four criminals who must work together in order to escape the prison. This map will both be fun for the cop and the criminals as there is plenty activities for the both of them.

I also plan on making "Infection Colliseum" on Sandbox, along with another puzzle in the "Mind" series but those won't be started for a while.

Dead Space has been out for awhile now and has been doing well. I've posted it on Forgehub along with Mind Gouge and both have been receiveing a fair amount of attention eventhough they're in the midst of a Sandbox epidemic. I've decided to do videos for both maps and hopefully get them out this week and the next.

And now here's the part to get excited about:

There is a rumour going around that the best of the best puzzle forgers have united to make one insanely awesome puzzle map on Sandbox... It couldn't be true, could it? Nothing like this ever actually happens...

It's true. BuddhaCrane, Yeeman Iz Bak, T3CHH800, The Flippy One (Mr Beastly), Jmen77, WickedSOADMAN, ZZmayo and myself have joined forces to forge a puzzle on Sandbox. T3CHH800 came up with the idea to unite us and has organized it into happening. Each of us will be designing a few challenges so that together it will form the ultimate puzzle map! We're making sure that the challenges we create our some of our best yet, since they represent us as puzzlemakers. We each want our own section to be the favourite section of the map. A little competition never hurts anybody, does it? It just makes sure that each and every challenge on the map is mind-blowing.

I've already got my section planned, and I think that fans of my puzzles will be delighted. So delete some of your crappier custom content to make sure that you have room for this thing because it's coming, and it's going to be INSANE! It should be complete within a month or so, so keep your eyes and ears open. Tell all of your friends, tell everybody you meet on Xbox Live, and tell your mother, because this is definately something to look forward to.

After my Mind Gouge and Dead Space videos, I'll likely make a preview video for this prodigy of a map.

Thanks for your time,
