Published on January 1, 2024 It's time for the first mapping prompt! We're going to be doing these every other month, as a low-stakes version of a contest theme. For the month of January, if you're in need of a map idea, try and build something based off the theme "Locked Away". Perhaps this means a map with a lot of locked doors? Or maybe it ties into the story? Feel free to interpret this however you want! If you have questions, contact tobyaaa or touhoe on discord. For the info video, click the link below!
