The Gigantic page has been updated with a new developer blog penned by Darrin Claypool, Senior Level Designer with Motiga. In the post, Claypool reveals the design process behind map creation for Motiga's version of MOBA.

These are maps where you’ll be spending potentially hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing, and we want to make sure that no team has with an unfair advantage over the other!
