Hello everybodyyyyyy!!! I cannot express the smile I had on my face watching this footage. Your eyes do not deceive you, the FULL exterior of the Yoglabs map is finally done, after what were probably months of building you can now see the full island in all of it's glory! I now move on from developing this terrain to filling as much of the hill up as possible with awesome laboratory rooms. On that note, let's go over what's happening right now.
Pictured above is a slice of the lower areas of Yoglabs. The very large room on the left was meant to be one of the more ending areas I had in mind for the map, it was gonna be behind the room that has the robot army in it. I have since changed my mind on this and moved it to the other side of the map where it will connect in a more meaningful way to the rest. The very large area pictured in the middle is where the two big towers were that marked the start of this map. I felt they were limiting what I could do and they didn't serve any purpose other than to be kind of like the origin of how this map started. I have moved this build outside of the main map where it will remain and I will use this area as a new area that links the front of Yoglabs to the back where C.H.L.O.E and the sentinel bay is. This Bay (which you can see on the video above). will be removed however. I am building a better looking room to showcase the Sentinels. That big area will be a part of that, that's all I will say on that.
WIth the island being finished also comes the final two big rooms that required a bunch of worldediting. I am very happy with how both of these turned out but in all honesty I think the Pyramid Room needs another pass which I will probably do later down the line. Now you might be wondering, what the hell is left? Wasn't that the final parts that needed doing? And to that I say, you are correct. The map is, apart from a few tiny things, completely done. But that doesn't mean the parts I envisioned beyond what was seen are done. No those are still very much WIP but I can promise you that I am aiming to release this map in 2026 still. I hope you all like the more frequent updates and insight into how the map is going. I am trying my best not to show too much so there is still some surprises left to see. In any case, I'll see you all in the next update.
