REMASTERED EDITION:

# New gameplay feature: Falling off the map now has a high chance of not instantly killing you to fall damage, but instead [CENSORED].

# Added Stand Your Ground zones

# The 3 main platform floors completely reworked from scratch: Much more detailed now, fully lighting+shadow compatible and with bloodsplatter.

# Multiple smaller platforms and walkways around the map have been combined and optimized

# All spiral staircases have been optimized with better collision, working lightmaps and blood splat

# A few new walkways and staircases have been added, introducing more escape routes and walkable surfaces.

# Several Zed navmesh optimizations, making them less prone to go suicide diving off the edges (I hope).

# Tons more world detail added, including lighting, breakable objects and more varied textures

# Many minor optimizations and fixes (shadowmaps, splattermaps, collision, draw distances, geometry, etc.)

Very excited to hear the sequel is still in the works! :)

The sequel is coming, though I'm having doubts as to how fun it will be but err... too far in to abandon it now I guess

Falling off the map is still a thing, although with a pretty crazy twist this time around

This map has its issues, but it's my all-time favorite KF2 map. I hate playing solo, but if nobody is on this is a map that is equally good for 1 person, or 6.

The falling is as much of a map feature, as a map problem. It effects bosses just the same so it's fair at least (I've seen King FP charge right out of spawn to his death once lol).

I'm really hoping the sequel gets completed someday. *fingers crossed*

good try

Heads up: zeds (and players) disapear randomly on the map.

Great map!!!

Hey I got a bug again, i recorded it and Ill link you the video, here is the details
Small spot where 90% of zeds will fall or get stuck in an infinite loop, and the other one is that you fall and you can survive and if you just keep healing as soon as you can you have a high change of living forever and zeds will just fall to the maw and die

here is the proofs

Is the secret still working? Couldn't find it even after finding all 6 gifts and looking around the building, spilling out blood.

Where on the map can you stand so the Zeds always fall and die?

This map is crazy and difficult on HoE...and that's why I have it on my server :)

The map seems to play fine, but sometimes the EXP doesn't register after finishing a game... :\

If you fall off as a 175 hp beserker you live... http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857848814

Reminds me quake map layout basically the same still good though!

Hey I remember playing one of the first renditions of this map months ago and I'm glad to see that it has received further development! Still trying to solve that easter egg tho

This is a great map, I love the edges that you can fall off. However on high player count servers a team can easily camp the main castle where they spawn. I'd suggest making it so the zeds spawn more consistantly around the map. Other than that, great work!

AND THE POOL BALLS

Found my birthday party

I freaking love it, parkour with zerker and killing zeds, so funny :>

Vamp you are amazing! this map is gorgeous! you guys are gold together and seperately.. great team!!!!

Fucking Beautifull! rising to only Seans standards!

Thanks Vampcinda!
I understand! And a sequel sounds awesome! I'll gladly do a video of it or any of yours & Chaoz maps! Looking forward :D!

Lovely video Sivarg, thank you very much!

Sorry I did not get around to updating it in time but to be honest it is mostly optimization things anyway that might not be so noticable (better blood splatter and some collision optimizations) so probably not worth making a new video over anyway.

I will say that this makes me consider creating a sequel though! Maw of madness is still one of the maps I had the most fun making, I would like to do another one in the same spirit. Maybe after Netherhold is done

Hello again Vampcinda & Seanchaoz, sorry about the lateness but I finalized the video, can defently recommend the map to others! Here's a link if you guys want to see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv6sYZpF76A

The description is as awesome as the map, excellent job!

Awesome, thanks alot!

And cool, I'll keep an eye out for any update!

Hi Sivarg, thank you for your kind words! Yes you may do any review you wish

The not dying issue I think is a patch bug, as I have experienced it on other maps as well recently. Maw of madness is a very old map now and one of the first I worked on. I may give it a little overhaul and take a look at things that could need adjusting, I know there are a few

Hi Vampcinda & Seanchaoz, awesome looking map! I did a review/showcase/promote video of your map Tainted Grove some months ago (This was on gamebanana and not steam workshop back then) and was wondering if I'm allowed to do a similiar video about this map? If yes, I'd love to do it before (or on) Halloweens eve, as I find your maps the most eerie out of all maps I've seen so far and had this map in my mind for quite awhile. I will send you two a link to it of course and also promote your channels too.

I noticed when doing a quick play of it, that I fell through the side of the maw (Where the ladder has an open space) and survived the drop, having 1 health but being unable to heal myself. Is that meant to happen or has a recent kf2 update messed something up?

alright finally found the passage took some time and "Pistol rounds" but i found it:D

Thank you for the comments everyone I do understand how frustrating it has become now with the zed push back effect. The map was made back when that was not a thing

@Cdwinters: Look around the area where the blood spills out of the building :)

The map looks pretty good but the gameplay is just really fucking fustrating. not once was i able to beat this map without getting cornored or knocked off

The map is really cool, and very different from others on the workshop, but it's too easy to be knocked off stage by a fleshpounder for my taste.

Alright i found all 6 Gifts and also the "location" of the smallest light.So do i need to jump there or something else?
Pretty good map though its simple. I like it.

Okay, I managed to find everything. Any clue to the whereabouts of this passage?

Does the position of the eyes relate to the position of the gifts?

Yes something does happen, it opens up a secret area =)

yes ,I find 6 gifts , nothing happen ??

@Tireloveyou_X7 there are 6 gifts

@ConnorTheWeary thanks for pointing out the bad spot, I will take a look at it. And yes the zeds sometimes fall off the platforms on their own, boss included but that is really hard to prevent without making it so that they cannot fall off at all, which I feel is not what the map is about :)

Another thing; it took several successful rounds, but I did finally have the Pat fall into the Maw. I wasn't even trying, he was just running away to heal and fell.

Hey, I found a bit where the player can get caught in the little server rack bridge beside the stained glass bit. If you land in the rack the wrong way you cannot move. It took a fleshpound smacking me to get me out.

I just find 4 gift in the map , how many gift the map have ?

Looks cool, but a bit (too) tricky to navigate. Try running a full squad through it and see how many grenades, Zeds and players will be feeding the Eyed Sarlac/Hellion.

Incidentally, are those chess pieces supposed to be bolted to the floor?

I dreamt with a similar looking map other day, but with also a mansion and big garden with horse statues D:

moar screenshotzz ;)
