I've got Horizon done, going to go grab a stock of a church and some ashes.

When it comes out, please post your mappack using this thread. I'm not against using a hype thread, but please don't use two threads for one mappack.

[maya]

Oh, don't worry Blackson. I was going to use the same thread.

When it comes out, I'll just edit the top post.

[Viil]

I... Can't... Wait... 'Till... It... Comes... Out... So... I... Can... Play... Your... Maps... In... An... Epic... Mappack... Called... SKYLIGHTS...

[maya]

Haha, thanks.

I made a new sig for it.

[andalus]

Lovin the new sig. Anyway, when it's released, I'd change the title a bit, maybe to "SKYLIGHTS - RELEASED" just so everyone knows.

[Leaff]

That picture is badass.
Can't wait for this. ;3

[maya]

No need to wait any longer leaff.

It's here.

Pretty solid pack. Gameplay was refreshing and unique. My only complaint is that the maps were too similiar to eachother. Normally this doesn't bother me ;D, but it is a mappack.

Overall, I'd give this 7.75/10

I must admit, the pack was a lot better than I thought it would be, but I just wish it had more variation in it. Because of this, I can't really pick a favourite, as they all kinda blur into one in my memory. Nevertheless, you've done a good job here: the overall experience is fun and most of the maps are quirky and stylish. Good job!

[Leaff]

I'm too busy lately and I haven't gotten a chance to play it yet.

;___;

[ChaoStar]

I like that map... I think it was called "Heaven"

[Leaff]

Finally played it.

Overall, I pretty much agree with cheese, except I don't really enjoy them as much. I don't really know what it is, but it all felt kind of unpolished and just... I don't know. They just didn't *grab* me. A few of the levels are cheatable and one doesn't even have an exit. I guess the individual levels are decent, but they didn't really come together as a pack well. Sorry furry. Overall it's like 6.5-7ish/10. :/

I really do like your style. (I've included some cool things below.)

• 00 Intro >> Excellent opening map. Userlevel'd.
• 01 Dust >> It's okay. I liked the rocket.
• 02 Fire >> Hmmmm, I don't like the gold placement or the floorguard.
• 03 Ghost >> Strange oneways.
• 04 Gunship >> The chainguns overlapped, but it was well-designed.
• 05 Torch >> Perfect level. Userlevel'd.
• 06 Air >> Fucky. Not really a fan of the rockets.
• 07 Colours >> It's cheatable, but it's still a decent map. I liked the top gold a lot.
• 08 Heaven >> Big but it needed more multipath aspects, like oneways.
• 09 Insects >> Meh. Filler map.
• 10 Smoke >> I cheated it but I didn't like the gold.
• 11 Diamonds >> Could be expanded. I love the gold patterns.
• 12 Hate >> The three enemies work beautifully, but the gold sucks.
• 13 Bride >> Hmmm, a mine or two in the gold would have been fun.
• 14 Salt >> Blegh. Poor gameplay.
• 15 Sirens >> Sloppy tiles and terrible enemies.
• 16 Visions >> The double exits are bad and the enemies suck.
• 17 Cleansing >> Curious level. Not enough Radium.
• 18 Love >> Awww, why isn't it beatable? :(
• 19 Glaze >> Lame layout.
• 20 Photograph >> Small but excellent. Userlevel'd.
• 21 Heat >> Another map that isn't bad, just odd.
• 22 Sky >> I didn't like the rocket part. Cool floorguards.
• 23 Blood >> Hmm, while the gold and tiles are great, the rocket isn't the best.
• 24 Candlewax >> The oneways are weird, but I liked the floorguards.
• 25 Bones >> I really liked the layout, but it could have had better enemies. Plus cheating it was lovely. Userlevel'd.
• 26 Requiem >> Good closer. Pretty.
