Congratulations LP! Have some... wait, hold on for a second...Uh oh. Somebody cut the cake. I told them to wait for you, but they cut it anyway. There is still some left, though, if you hurry back.

If you guys want new Spotlights faster, make better maps more often. Stop making gigantic "mods" that will never, ever see the light of day. Tighten your focus because if not then you're wasting your time.

I'm so eager to release my maps but I am a bit perfectionist, and as now I have finished a 80% of my mappack, I'll just wait up until all is finished. I DO finish what I start btw.

If you don't release, you don't amount to shit. Take kizzycocoa for example. Brobro was working on some "mod" for like 5 years, and guess what? He threw the towel in without ever releasing squat that's playable, and not a soul on the planet cares now.
But yeah, the reason we don't update the spotlight more often is because there's not enough really spotlight-worthy maps that come out frequently enough.

I know you took the chance to speak to everyone in general, and I agree with you completely, as in Colours, that was the right way of releasing a mappack, map by map. But regarding this subject, I think I've got my reasons. And I tell you again that I WILL release this thing. The reason why I am taking more time is that I've went around many aesthetical approaches until finding one I was happy with. I want to show a storyline too, not too much elaborated though, but more kinda mysterious... that makes you think and figure out about what you see, or where you're in. And ofc some custom stuff. I am that kind of person that can't just stop until I'm fully satisfied with the result.
On the other hand, a couple of things needed to be finished before releasing anything as indeed they affect every single map alone:
For example, I've made a pair of custom elevators that match perfectly my maps' visual style. I've been making several versions that I didn't fully liked, and looking back, I'm happy to have waited. If I would have released any of the previous versions, I would regret now.
Also, I'm taking my time to introduce a complete new pack of signage icons in the mappack. They're looking great and they deserve the time spent.
Take it as a tribute to my favourite game ever! I really, think after, all that I have reasons to wait up.
Patience is a virtue.
Anyway, I do not discard to release 3-4 maps first and the rest later...
