You're reading this because you took the link from my game to read how to create a map or you lurk on the forums too much.

As you can probably tell, I'm in desperate need for new maps so I can stop using the Darkness 2 map placeholder. (I want at least 5 before leaving the beta stage.) I'm not too fond of building and I never come out with anything good when I try, plus I want to let you guys contribute. You'll get 100% credit as well if I use your map in the game.

While building a map is pretty straight-forward, but there are some prerequisites I'd like before adding it to my game.

-Try to keep it indoors or have most of the map be indoors. Having a sort of " front yard" is okay.
-Most maps should have an abandoned feel to them, and use buildings such as hospitals, hangars, schools, or any other kind of eerie abandoned building as a base for ideas.
-Minimum width/length should be around 400 studs and the maximum should be around 600.
-If the map is close to the minimum size, try to create a second floor.
-The map is going to be in the dark, so keep in mind that players can't see anything more than around four feet in front of them.
-Add light sources here and there, such as lamps, lighting fixtures, candles, vehicle headlights, et cetera.
-There are 8 citizen spawnpoints and 4 Slender spawnpoints. Please let me know where you want players to spawn by placing bright green bricks for citizen spawns and bright red bricks for Slender spawns.

As for pages, I will place those throughout the map on my own accord, but feel free to designate certain placements.

Cheers and happy building!

There was a bug not giving you the GUI when spawned. I believe I just fixed it, tell me if you get the "PRESS Q TO BECOME INVISIBLE." GUI next time.

Sure! I'll attempt to make a map. Would you like me to message you pictures of it, so you can have an idea of what I've made?

It's better to save it to one of your places so I can see the progress.

Ey, Kinnis. Should I plan to put generator's on my map or should my map have something different?

Hey Kinnis. I've been really busy with life stuff yesterday and today so I haven't gotten around to updating my map. I will be able to get back to work on the map tomorrow so don't worry.

I am making an asylum... It may or may not be the size you wanted but I will make it reasonably sized. Also if there is any textures you do not like you can make them different. Also I am thinking of adding this to my own game if that bothers you. It may have outdoors but it may not.

I normally make pretty little detial maps, I could probably transfer this into a horrible death, chaos and deserted map.
