The name and the color scheme of this map I took from the PS2 game "Ico" which I consider one of my all time favorite games. The story behind this map is rather weird I got into a fight with the "GEZ" a company in Germany that uses organized crime methods to force people into paying a sort of tax for the German public television to keep it free from government influence or at least so they claim. Not willing to comply with their demands I decided to sell my television on eBay. One day before the highest bidder was gonna show up to pick up the television I decided to borrow a PS2 from a coworker together with the game "Ico" which I was really desperate to play due to all its critical acclaim. So I pulled an all-nighter and beat the game in one sitting barely finishing it before the guy showed up to get the television in the morning. Completely sleep deprived and with a bad cold I had a nightmare afterward depicting a H.R.Giger/ David Lynch's Dune esque organic looking landscape all pale and albino like. Once I woke up I dashed to my computer to turn what I saw into a 3D model before I would forget what it looked like. As you know holding the memory of a dream is close to impossible. The final result is definitely corrupted its not depicting what I saw in the dream at all accept for the colors. Another big mistake I made was adding heavy fog to the level but having a sky clearly visible above your head. with fog this thick you could never see clouds. I think I finished this map in less than a week.
