Gfire Profile Joined March 2011 United States 1699 Posts #3 I love the idea of reskinning like this. It would be cool if that happened more often.



I don't know about having them all be snow though... Seems like you'd get tired of it real quick.



The lighting concerns me, though. Seems a bit extreme, especially with the different colored lights. I don't mind upping the saturation a bit, but I think it's too much here.



I think back to back is still a bit rough around the edges, like the mineral and gas placements and some other details, but it'll be interesting to see some games on it. all's fair in love and melodies

I'm worried about the lighting on some of the maps, from the pictures it looks a little too saturated. Otherwise, nice work!

The tournament organizers have published the maps. I didn't know they put them in hots too. I can't check because I don't have hots. In wol there were already snow versions for several maps so maybe the one you tried weren't the one I made.



I hope this kind of reskins encourage tournaments to use community mappers. Or maybe Proleague will start a fashion about using crazy maps in tournaments.

Nice work, the maps look very nice.

But I guess this is a decent thing to have until that happens. Most of them look pretty good. It would be nice if tournaments would just use a lot of new maps, since there are plenty of good ones availableBut I guess this is a decent thing to have until that happens.
