Heirs of the Forgotten Kingdom ft' Xefas

Hello

Project map of mine where I started learning Blender stuff. And what could be a better first Blender
map than a 3 minute full off-grid endurance FS map?

Routing was done over 1 year ago - back then when freeblock snapping was broken? Do you remember this? Almost made me quit TM mapping because it was soooo annoying. But luckly they fixed it a good month or 2 after the route was ~90% done.

Landscaping is done all in Blender and big shoutout to Ealipse for patiently teaching me stuff. Aschki helped me ripping the route and initially cleaned it up a bit to make my workflow a bit more convenient.

I cant even recall when i started with this map but i finally managed to find time to actually finish it.

Having learned a lot creating this map and would do many things different if i would do it again (lol no)

I averaged around 24h per 1 min of route and stopped counting after. Scenery took a good bit longer as you could imagine with all the new stuff i had to learn. So hard to put a finger on a final number of hours spent on this map, but a fair guess is somewhat north of 250h overall probably.

I created the route and did the blender landscaping, asset creation media tracker work and Xefas was responsible to actually make it look nice. My scenery Voucher died for this map.

Also please keep in mind that this is intended to be more of a testbed map rather than a serious attic-kid hunting map. Speed is very controlled by the map and you can only gain little time between these segments. Pretty much an introduction to One-Shot experience maps rather than a hunting map. It is on the more easy side and you don't need any Sd's to finish it. Only one airbreak is required.
