Desert Cave (Patreon)

Happy New Year, everyone- I'm back! This week's map is the Desert Cave (34x34), a cave in the desert! Can you believe I've never made a map called Desert Cave? Goes to show how few desert maps I've made, I suppose, but better late than never. But, with that in mind, this is what I think of when I imagine a desert cave, dry and rocky with lots of winding, uneven passageways and irregular ledges. I hope this one comes across as more natural to you than many of my other cave maps, it's something I put a lot of thought into recently as I try to make maps that feel like real terrain rather than premade levels or battlegrounds.. which of course they are.

I hope you all had a good holiday, it's a tiring time of year so hopefully you found time to relax! I got a stomach flu and followed it up with a cold after my family all left town, so my last week has been pretty rough. I'm looking forward to breathing through my nose again and keeping food in my body for extended periods of time, so that'll be exciting. I don't doubt many of you had similar experiences, sounds like a bug has been going around this year, so to you I emphasize and wish you good health again soon.
