design error

mapres is hella broken

why not using just from -> to at this parts?

proper way to place teles for t0

feels awkward because of stoppers

if u fall in the blue u go back to totele 3

^ was having screenshot of this part but nvm, this part feels really boring

faily

don't see point of stoppers, also look confusing at first

you can go inside this gap between stoppers and fail

not a big fan of this

add turn off entities tile here

no freeze inside stopper

can jump in here thru the right, don't think that's the way u're meant to do it

just wondering, where this 6 to tele come from?

found out what with it - entity bug (also corner)

review whole map again for corners, i see so much of them missing

I do like the idea behind most parts, and agree with what simple has been saying. Some parts (the ones attatched to this message). i think you could achieve these ideas better if you made the entire map just bigger, it feels very cramped at times. I'll try to go over the parts now I feel are weakest.

also fill those gaps

this part's pretty awkward as simple stated earleir, the stoppers make it feel weird, and I also think that first square u go into is way too small

feels like filler, nothing's really happening here at all, it's just a mindless hold 2 buttons twice

spammy part

unused image (marked blue)

first throw is pretty awkward, I'd also move the unfreeze to the left right by the freeze, since if you're down below and have weakhook the tee on top just can't reach the unfreeze

everything from the jumping into the 1 block tall holes to the parts here are very weak, you can do way more creative things here with the weapons

that'd be my first thing to change. I won't talk about the design here cause while I'm not a big fan of it I'm not good enough at designs to know how to improve it or really know what is wrong with it

great map tho, it really did feel thought out at times

an inspiration of how you can improve design (don't mind ht and tele)

right - how it is rn, left - my example

weird parallax on stars imo

useless image, you can make the same in editor

i think that's all for now on

nvm, add unfreeze to places like this where it's easy to catch freeze

I saw my mistakes, where it was part of the level, and I have a question, I see that every day they post a level, it's many people who have such mistakes, and they are not evaluated, or only me? This is to let me know, am I the only one building like this, or not?)

¥waiting

if you mean that only your maps got declined, consider looking at this ones #deleted-channel <#1108499445814931508> <#1108500359938330695>

the backrooms my map)

motivation is disappearing more and more, I think in a week I won't learn how to build like a mega pro

you have seen every mistake

fix em and be good

Learning how to map is a long arduous process. I don’t think anyone can go from their first map to being a great mapper in a week. I’m sorry if any of my criticism came out as harsh, I really would love to see you make a map that just blows me away, I’m not trying to say your map is bad, just giving opinions on ways you could improve it to make an even better map. If you’d like I could give you a few more tips on how I make maps, but I’m not great at mapping myself. If anything though keep at it. Don’t lose motivation and don’t take anyone’s words to heart. Make a map you’d enjoy playing and build based on that, and if it doesn’t get accepted then make another one that’s better. I believe in you, I consider this map a major improvement over the backrooms.

Some tester should put this map on waiting

remade

this is necessary so that tee does not take another weapon

Why not use one weapon type?

the more diverse the map, the more interesting it is, the more difficult it will be to create other tests for one gun, because you can cheat and go through another, not where it is necessary

as Welshi said this parts are very weak any way and you can make more creative parts

So I redid

The way to add interesting parts is not to add many different block types and entities but to do something with the ones you are already using :D

we are not talking about blocks, but about weapons. weapons add personality, that only you have it, and you should not hope for another who does not have the same weapon that you have

remade

maybe you'll add time cps one day?

Aaaaa

still not fixed

imo would be better like this (before -> after)

either use tileset without this gaps

no point of 2 different teles that teleport in same position (left - now, right - how supposed to)

would be better if you put unfreeze here

same here

still not fixed

unfreeze in tele

faily

and also abit harder than the rest of the map

left corner: has black corners, right corner: missing black corners

i think whole map has bugs like this

unused inage

this 2 parts still have cps tho they are from -> to teles already

here as well (recheck whole map also)

imo 3 moon images is unnecessary

you can reject the work, I won't finish it, I have mistakes in some places, but I don't want to continue doing this because of various quibbles about the type of unused image, thanks for the advice
