Achromatic
Forge Hub Favorites XXIV Finals Nominee

Notice: Due to a lack of space on my file share the non-FX version of Achromatic has been removed to make room for other files. The Purple FX can simply be removed from the version that is left to result in the old one that was removed. I apoligize for the inconvenience.

A Grey Project
This map is my one of my two successful asymmetric maps, and I strongly believe that it is because I actually just stumbled upon this design. I began this map due to wanting to be able to have maps to play on with small groups and the actual forging at about midnight, so my mind wasn't really all there. Not only was I considering how this one platform would work into the map, but what it would be like if Unicorns rode flying waffles and battles knights. It was a fun time, anyway as I forged on I realized to myself that forge is grey. It just is and that's a fact, luckily with water, grass, and certain lighted objects we are able to mask this from the players at times. But I thought to myself "I should do the opposite here." So this map, Achromatic, became my embracing of the greys. Originally (even now by the earlier testers) it was called Greybox after it's greyness and residence in the Skybox.

As time went on I tested a lot, possible more for this map than any other because there were so many twists and turns and weird spots that could become bad places to have. After many revisions I ended up with this. However as of recently I looked at the map and thought to myself "this looks a lot like other maps." and so I looked at the FX and found the purple one didnt look too bad here. Upon my surprise it worked and I tested many games with it on. Some said they thought it made the map better, others just dont like FX, which I understand- hence whey there are two versions of this map now. In the end both versions are exactly the same and both are fun. After numerous tests I can confidently say this map is finished.

Special thanks to all of my testers and the TG, without all of your help this map would still be amazingly campable. I would write all of your names down, but there have been so many of you I cant remember all of your names. I apologize for this but know that I am very grateful to you all for your time.

I hope you all have fun with Achromatic, enjoy!
