FFA WOV
By ShroomDuck in Free For All
This map was created specifically for clan [WoV], and features their home base: offices, meeting room, grand lobby, bar/laggon and a hidden "Tribunal". Outside one will find the landing areas for WoV members visiting their base.
*NOTE FROM SHROOMDUCK*
This map stirred up a lot of controversy, because WoV paid me about $3000 to make this map. Many people yelled "WHAT?" and "That's not allowed". Ahem.. maybe. Technically, I created textures from WoV and in a 'totally unrelated project' used their textures (see, since they paid for them, it's their textures) to make a map for free. Now, why would anyone charge anyone for just a map? My time was valuable. If someone takes me away from doing something else in my life, it is going to cost them. I charged the same rate I would charge any client.
I've been asked well over 1,000 times (and that is NOT an exaggeration) to make a map for someone. It's always been my joke answer that they have to pay for it. That usually makes the begging stop, and instead I look like a jerk (which usually makes them stop talking to me, which I prefer whilst playing JK2/JKA). The guy from WoV however had a lot of money, and for him it was worth the cost. For me, it was just another job where someone is paying me for applying my creativity to a technical medium (something that happens often, as it's my career).
So despite all that, I was satisfied, as was my client. He perceived good value, and I delivered more than he imagined. The downside was I became that much more "famous", which is one thing I always hated, and still hate. It's not easy to play the game when either everyone is trying to talk to you, admins are questioning whether you really are you (sometimes resulting in abuse & bans), and playing in a game where some perceive me to be a master of the game itself. I just want to have fun.
Hmm... this all turned rather morose. Enjoy the map.

LiCk Me
By ShroomDuck in Free For All
Created to compliment the type of play found on the LiCk server... the first JK2 server to implement and enforce the "No Saber, No Attack" rules, among others. This map was designed to be pure fun, and features some challenging jumps, a duel room with a destructable floor, and some other hidden points of interest.

Ah yes. My first map after a looooong hiatus. My vision was to create a more realistic and fun-filled DeathStar than was available with JK2. Hope ya'll enjoy!

Country Academy
By ShroomDuck in Free For All
So, I swore I'd never do another Country Roads themed map. I know as well as anyone that it's become a tired theme. But here I am, releasing one. I guess I like the silliness involved with having saber battles on a farm. This is like... for sure the last Country Roads map for JK2/JKA. I hope you enjoy, ya hear?
