If the maze will take up to 3 weeks to finish, maybe the rest of us
should be working on something concurrently (since Nick is doing this
by himself)
Also keep in mind that when the real art goes in, this area will
essentially need to be completely rebuilt and tested. Next time
around, we should plan better for something like this. I don't look
forward to having to test the entire area once the real art goes in :P
Like milestones, this area would have been better to do in bite size
pieces. Finish one trap area, art it up, test it, then move to the
next. Just my opinion.
