Here's my submission for the 500th Map and 4-Year Anniversary Competition.

The forgotten Cloister of the Order of the Frigid Path is a level for the mega-dungeon where some chilled out monks once did some chilly things. It's been mostly looted since it was in regular use but there are still a few dangers (beware the ice sneks! health and safety would like to remind you of the dangers of slick stairs!) and some goodies to be found as you pass down (or up?) from one level of the mega-dungeon to another.

I'm not sure what the "best" solution for the glow issue is, but when I have glows going places I don't want them, I create a new sheet above the one with the glow called something like GLOW COVERUP and just put a rectangle filled with the floor fill wherever I don't want the glow.

This sometimes requires playing around with the sheet order and I frequently end up with multiple "coverup" sheets, but it works. ?

I worked a bit more on my walls and added a crevasse under my broken bridge. The section beyond the broken bridge in the upper left is going to be the exit down eventually and the top of the long room to the upper right will be the location of the exit up. I also added some broken/missing tile sections, a bit of rubble and a couple pools of scary green water.

My pillars don't have shadows at the moment since I won't add lighting effects until near the end.

Here's the crevasse under the broken bridge:

And here's the lower left rooms showing the cracks and puddles:

It's not much so far - I still have to add a lot to all the rooms - but feedback would be appreciated. ?

When you enable creating multiple levels at the start, it creates all the .FCW files at the same time with the same dimensions and background and adds links between them so you can switch back and forth by just clicking the level name on each map.

You get a list of the levels with automatically created links like this:

You can do the same thing manually, it's just a time-saver.

I've been doing a lot of mapping lately and have really fallen into Exotica, which is a genre of music I had never heard of this time last year - think of the sort of 50's-60's jazz that you sometimes hear in really old scifi movies mixed with the background music of a downscale Tiki bar in some truly strange ways. Anything by Les Baxter, really keeps me moving while I'm working without requiring too much attention. There's a lot of it on Spotify in various playlists. ?
