Thank you, and a special gift
It's been brought to my attention that my little map was chosen by the developers of Teardown as a featured map. I'd like to thank all of you for the support my work here has received over the years, and apologize for my complete and utter silence regarding any issues my maps have had.

Its been a little over 2 years since this map released and my life's changed quite a bit. I graduated high school and got a nice full time job that i enjoy since this map came out, and frankly, don't play Teardown as much anymore either. As nice as it would be to go in and fix all the issues with my maps design, or problems introduced by obsolescence, I just cant justify the time sink nowadays. It doesnt help that the map editor is a tad clunky either.

I do read comments once in a while, and i see many people ask for an unabandoned version of this, or an unabandoned version of that, and here's my comprehensive answer to that, once and for all: that was never the point
I've always had a passion for decay. It adds character where there would otherwise be none. An unabandoned Locburn school is just a school. Uninteresting and bland. While i know the demand is there, obviously, I have no interest in making a normal school, I just wouldn't be able to put my heart into that kind of project. Making a school was a formality, its the rot and decay that I find joy in creating. So, once and for all, to put this to bed, I will NEVER re-make any of my maps in that way. Its just not something I want to do

Even though I don't play or create content as much as I used to, I have a few maps that I never finished. Like 3 or 4, something in that ball park and while I may go back to them in the future, ONE of them is bare bones passable and interesting enough for a release as a gift for all the support.

Based on the stunning architecture of Kirkbride plan asylums of old, I had big plans for this map, as youll see by the foundations set. However limitations in Teardowns editor, namely, a lack of model mirror or flipping functions, it proved to be a lot more effort to make it come to life than id planned, leaving it in its current state. Its a shame, im very proud of how it looks thus far. If i ever get back to content creation for this game, this map is where ill start.

If you see this message soon after I post it, it may not be finished being screen by steams anti malware stuff so if that link doesnt work, just come back later.

To end it off, I'd like to give one last thanks to all of you for the support over the years, and thanks to whatever dev put it in featured. See you guys around,
