heh, exactly my thoughts I'd really love to play a map like that, I wonder if we can use special FX like colored fog, sparks, lights etc.. you could give the place a magical kinda feel, if you know what I mean..
it's all up to the creators imagination, I'm 100% positive that after DM is released the community will come up with loads of creative ideas, which had also happened in Race.. some of the maps I've played are simply extraordinary and all of them were made in the Race Map Editor which compared the to new scripting system is very limited..
Lua has to offer a lot and I don't think I'm exagerating when I say that "everything will be possible", you've only seen a small portion of the tip of the iceberg..
can't wait!
