    Castle in the Sky soon to be featured by Ubisoft, I made a important update today.

    While I am grateful for the new update and grateful that my best map is getting featured. I did run into a few issues that I need to mention especially since it affected the Castle in the Sky. After the latest update a few of AC origins fortress assets changed and messed up the top tower so that the extraction point is floating when it was originally on tower. I just updated the fix as well as putting in some more details and stuff. Basically, a tower on one of the fortress piece was taken out. I also made a extended Journey version just in case you rather feature that instead. That one is called 'Castle in the Sky' while the one you played on Friday nights was 'Castle in the Sky B' I would really like this info passed on before it gets ported over to the other platforms. So please download the new update! Thank you!!!

    Updated: so the last update broke parts of my map Castle in the Sky, I repaired it and posted this to let Ubisoft know. Instead they don't bother featuring it after all!

    Just curious, how do you know if your map is soon to be featured? Do they reach out to you in advance?

    I was told by a friend that Friday Arcade w/Amanda and Vincent on Twitch was featuring my play map by showing a play through! I have two other maps featured and all times they were aired the previous week on Friday Arcade. That is how I found out that the top tower disappeared on my map. They got to the top and the tower was gone and the table was floating! lol They thought it was funny to get to the top and see a floating table and grail. But actually, after the update that object I placed there had a tower removed. lol I hope they see this and download my new updated map! I put in a nice effect on that grail to make it look magical!

    I just saw you posted the featured maps and even though it was said in Friday Night Arcade my Castle in the SkyB was to be featured it is not after all. I would appreciate a response. Before the last update the AC fortress assets were all in there right place. After the update it messed my Castle especially the longer Journey version. You changed the AC fortress assets. I spent half of a day just repairing what should not have been broken in the first place. You got my hopes up that my best work was to be featured and now it is disappointly not. After I saw the twitch broadcast and saw my extraction point was messed up, I went in right away and placed new objects to fix what your last update broke. What happened???

    Same happened to my map with AC Origins assets in them.
    After update 8 one tower element rotated so exit was on wrong side, also they removed tower object. Had to do several fixed before map was playable again. The update also fiddled with other objects (like tree and ground assets) so had to recheck all my maps. Several were affected, but AC most.

    At least I am not alone. I appreciate the last update in many ways, but I don’t get why they had to change assets entirely, didn’t they think that it would mess up a lot of maps?!? I really hope I don’t get ignored.
