Ava

One of the most important things for Ava is the sense of community within the mapmaking space. Sharing ideas, maps, different techniques and such is a great boon that ultimately enhances each map maker's creativity. Which is why Ava chose the map of another user as her favourite. jbovio001’s Leroic (Ancient Ruins) not only features really interestingly coloured and giant roots throughout the different levels of the map, but is overall a very well done map.

The map also makes sure to place assets very well, and plays around with lights and lightning overall in a way that makes the map interesting to look at. Something that is very important not just for the map but even more for the players. A lesson Ava had to learn through their years of making maps was that not every detail on the map necessarily had to make sense, be logical or realistic. Especially in a fantasy setting map makers are allowed to subvert expectations and include anything that can easily be explained by “it’s some magic effect”.

Their favourite part of map making for Ava is placing assets and working with lights to set up the mood of the map. With that in mind, Ava still has some problems with designing maps and overloading their maps with too many details. Ava oftentimes has too many ideas and plans too much for their maps but we can certainly say that we love their work and can’t wait for their next map release!
