The Third Project[]
The third project by the Legacy team was the Zenith level-pack. It is the final 300-map installment to their massive 1000-map anthology! Zenith adds 300 levels to the existing 700, all made by eleven of The Legacy Team's thirteen members - tktktk, maximo, sweep, Barabajagal, atob, Sendy, blue_tetris, KinGAleX, LittleViking, krusch, and Kablizzy - As well as the map made by Caero for his magnificent showing during the Expanse contest Legacy: Expanse contest . Zenith is meant as the final expansion pack to the Legacy project, continuing in the same vein as the Origins pack and the Expanse pack, with new ideas, new map styles, and hopefully, some brand-new perspectives upon the game. Over the past year, They have tirelessly played and re-played through the pack, tweaking and balancing, and arranging the pack to be in tip-top shape for you all to enjoy, found here.
Compilation[]
They has worked for four years now to bring all the best of the community, and now they have brought the best of all three Legacy packs. Included in Anthology is the Legacy: Origins pack, the Legacy: Expanse pack, and the Legacy: Zenith pack in their original forms. In addition, Anthology has re-ordered the original packs to bring you a massive, 1000-level bonanza, ordered as they were originally intended four years ago. In addition, The Anthology pack gives you all kinds of added bonuses and tidbits of information on the packs, including graphs, histograms, Author Lists, a Level Index, and more! Go to their website and head on over to the Ventures page to check it out!
Current[]
The Legacy team has taken on the job of maintaining bitesizeNUMA, The Dronies, The N Hall of Fame, NTTS, Vehemence, and Nedcon. It also inspired several level-packs which created by other groups of mapmakers, such as The Revolution, The Camisade Collection, LA3^3, and Project 42 which quickly become famous and playet all over the word.
Future[]
The Legacy team has promised upcoming surprises for the N community, including an additional level-pack, Expanse, and another after that, finishing the trilogy.
