Here is another aerial screenshot (of the starting map)
https://swordofmoonlight.com/holy/dom/sc...9_lv02.png
It turns out I was mostly lucky to be able to shoot the castle map so easily, but if you disable the "Perform Map Optimization" in the Map Setting dialog, then you can do this with any map (the performance will go way down though)
I don't have any plans to add anything new area wise to this map... well other than possibly a village you start in if possible.
The giant termite (thinking about calling them Antlions) queen now feels like a proper area boss. You also can take it on first and skip the Path of Sorrows map, or if you go thru that map you can use the Graveyard key to even the odds againts the queen. The termites now paralyze and the queen only bites (but hard -- btw I learned that if you increase the size in the parameter editor that messes up collision so that close range attacks basically won't happen because you can't get close enough to initiate them)
I setup a switched gate at the end of the PoS, so if you do skip it, you still gotta go back thru it later if you ever want to go backwards thru it.
Now there is a fairly large tomb behind the queen which has a secret entrance into the castle chapel (an NPC will help you find it, so no big spoiler here)
PS: This one was in 32bit mode, so it's much blurier
