    I dunno what it is, but I love downloading some of the maps made and just exploring. That brought me to thinking... Why hasn't anyone ever made a map where you just open it in Sandbox and explore it? A map made SPECIFICALLY for exploration; no fighting, no resource collecting; it would be interesting! Has anyone made anything like this?

    Probably because it could be fun if you explored it as a cahracter, but in spectator, meh.

    Well that's what I mean. These types of maps would be interesting solo, but that's about it. I might try and put something together today.

    So what you are saying, turn off the map, then make a map involving massive tunnels with secret passages ETC.

    Like a 1 player mode. Have different secret areas obscured by darkness that you can find with lanterns. Just... Find stuff! I think it would be fun. I've always loved games like Knytt.

    If you put some work into this, or can, you could add it to the game mode list, I will if you would like?

    Yeah, for sure. I'll let you know after I figure some stuff out and maybe get some stuff done to a game mode config. Maybe I can work out a multiplayer exploration game mode (with only one team like in ZF).

    I actually made something like this, but it's unfinished and i had given up on it, i could finish it later tonight for you if you'd like though.

    I was making it for zombie mode, once we're able to set spawn points for them on .png maps, that is.

    (It is very big, i think ~800 tiles in width?)

  10. I have a small map like this with signs, just replaced the Tutorial level and redid the signs on it, not too difficult :p

    What would be awesome would be a clan exploration map, have an underground mole kingdom, and an Action Palace :P

    AWESOME. I'm gonna check it out in Sandbox right now. I also checked out RoboHobo's Sky Islands map too. Was great fun just checking it out and experiencing it as I went along.

    Appreciation, the map actually looks pretty good. I have some other training style maps like that but I don't believe they fall under the level of exploration (the ones I have, that one looks like it would be fun to explore)

    It was officially in the game too, but if I remember correctly it's kinda broken at the moment because of the new mechanisms :(

    Yeah go and play it B190, it's got music and signs and stuff. Had a great time playing that map not too long ago.

    I had a lot of fun replaying vig's map not too long ago; more maps like it would be great. Would be even better if we had decorations though.

    Maybe oneday we can have continents to free of the zombie horde, and then sail across the seas to another land.

    Would love to make single player maps with prespawned enemies. Even just the enemies we already have but that only move once they enter the screen or something. That would be fun as hell.
