Ramblings

This map has been made for Map-Center's first Turtle Map contest.
I've taken part in other previous Turtle Map contests from the old
SpeedMapping Guild so I knew what I was letting my self in for.  And
that would be many late nights (as I write this, my map is on it's
final compile and it's 07:10!).

During the event I've learnt a few new tricks in Radiant, how to use 
Particle Studio, which is an absolutely fantastic little application,
and have extended my texture and script making knowledge.

As I'm sure all contestants felt, with more time I would have liked to
do a lot more with the map.  Mostly a stronger texture set, and more detail
in the geometry.  It looks a bit like a geo-comp map in places.  I might 
carry on working on the map as I'm quite pleased with the layout.
