A KotH map with some bridges. They shuffle every time the point is capped. Sometimes there's 3, sometimes 2, sometimes 1, and sometimes none at all! Oh, and there's little maps in the spawn and near the point that let you see what bridges are in play.

After years of thinking, I finally managed to come up with a layout for an SD map that isn't just Doomsday Again. I also did that thing where there's low buildings with accessible roofs again that I've been doing recently. idk I just think it's neat. Probably too small.

A RD map for MC15: Robot Destruction. Geometry was finished in under 4 hours, but an additional 8 hours were spent on logic, lighting, and clipping. I think the layout is neat, but it might be too small for RD. There's crocodiles!

Made for MC14: Trains Trains run every 20-30 seconds; it randomly picks from sending the Red train, the Blue train, or both at once. The layout is built with the main route weaving parallel with the train lines, and there's a ton of height variation between the two points. It's unlike anything...
