Idea Wool Mix-up Map

Hi hi! :3

So some close friends of mine and I have been hard at work making a wool mix-up map and we've just finished it last night! A lot of people came to see the progress and they all gave moral support, so I'll place tags down below. But anyway, I wanted the map a little bit smaller because I noticed people were complaining about some lag. I assumed this was due to 2 reasons.

1) The map was too big and there was too much to update at once.
and
2) The lighting was causing some problems (props to nom for using the bedrock idea but the void surrounding the platform wasn't exactly helping. )​

I combated both of these problems with this map, as well as deciding to do one small tweak. First, I made the general area of the map smaller to help with the updating. Not to mention, people don't move around as much as people think on wool mix-up and there's no reason people can't share a space.

The second way I worked on the lag was to enclose the map in a snowglobe-type arena. Of course, I kept enough natural lighting as possible. I liked the idea for a snowglobe feel because it allowed for the arena to be completely enclosed while still feeling open. I also love the natural color scheme I was able to play around with and my friends came up with some amazing ideas for designs!

The last (and most noticeable) change I made was to reduce the size of the individual squares on the floor from 3x3 to 2x2. This, again, goes back to my idea that people don't move around much because of the short time limit, but I noticed that people were actually having difficulties getting to a specific color just because of how spread out the map was. I wanted to give everyone an equal chance at winning. Alright! Next, for the tags.

@Mr_BlueSheep (Co-Owner) - They helped immensely with the entire designing and the detailing of the map.
@Quirih (member) - Most of the amazing wall designs you see are the work of Quirih and they did an amazing job!
and @Chilled_67 (member) - Helped me get started with the map and worked with me on the initial setting up of the flooring, making sure colors were spread out equally across the board.

Finally (whew, long post sorry) I have two sets of pictures and I actually need your guys' help. I'm undecided on which time of day I'd like to have the map at. I'm leaning more towards the night theme, but everyone I've talked to has been on the fence like me and I'm hoping to get a kind of vote going. If you could take a look, the pictures are almost identical except for the time of day, so please let me know if you like the map and which time you prefer (as well as any ways to improve the map). Thanks and keep partying!

Why do maps have to be bright and colorful if it can be seen that boardwalk for horse race isn't, samus theme for oitc isn't, the farm theme isn't for sheep shear and chicken game?

 

Read my OP and you'll see why that is
