This redux is the quickest and most minor of all of them. I considered just posting it on the site and skipping this updated blog post. But, this process means showing when things work, when they don’t, and when they are this. Here is the original post for reference:

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. Added Texture. I gave the ground and hills in the background texture. This also changed the color. Both are more accurate.

And…..that’s it.

Let’s check out the before and after:

I think both mazes work, but of course I prefer the new one best ! All the mazes from now on will be new versions of of basic mazes, or completely new mazes !

Some data: The new file is 778MB from 421MB.

I will be replacing the homepage with the new maze going forward. You can find the maze download there !

Happy maze-ing !

Maze of the Week #91 keeps us in Mexico for my 3rd different maze of a pyramid or ruin with this Monte Alban Maze from the Zapotec archeological site in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here are my other 2 similar mazes:

Chichen Itza Maze

Mayan Ruins at Uxmal Maze

Photos: I had a chance to visit the site because I lived in the city for 3 months. Here is a gallery of pictures I took, one of which was used to make the maze. I went on a day with perfect weather - easy to do around there - and was one of the first 5 people in the site, so my pictures include very few people !

YouTube: Here is a quick 6 minute video showing the grounds if the pictures weren’t enough.

The Maze: I re-worked this maze after finishing it. A small re-color and then I re-sized it from paper size to a size that fit the structure/maze better. I also added shadows which were a huge improvement IMO.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Maze download is available on the homepage. Check out my YouTube channel where you can watch mazes being made and solved !!!
