Map Profile
Name: Genesis
Gamemode: Payload
Author(s): Berry
Inspirations: Barnblitz (Detail, Style), Badwater (Finale), Upward (Finale)
Theme(s): Winter (Outdoors), Farm (Indoors), Spytech (Indoors, spawns)

A payload project I'm working on in the back alongside a few other things (amaranth and mudwater revamps). There's lots of things to change still in the map I think, but I think for a change I'm going to be more patient with the map and wait until I know what to do with particular areas before I rush in and attempt things (as I have done previously lots of times).

What is the dark room and what sadistic purposes does it serve?

I want answers.

It was a second forward spawn that I later cut out (but apparently didn't fully cut out). I like to leave these things in non-functional in case I decide to want them back.
