Im stupid

neben 08/30/2023 12:01 AM

this map is gonna make me like jetpack

_nehr 08/30/2023 12:04 AM

Yes ๐Ÿ‘

popcorn181 08/30/2023 12:11 AM

Maybe possible to skip half the map if you clip the floor and get dj (idk, might be a bit of a stretch)

_nehr 08/30/2023 12:13 AM

You can't

popcorn181 08/30/2023 12:13 AM

๐Ÿ‘

_nehr 08/30/2023 12:14 AM

nvm but hella hard

_nehr 08/30/2023 12:14 AM

I'll fix

_nehr 08/30/2023 12:16 AM
_nehr 08/30/2023 2:42 AM

Here's the run

_nehr 08/30/2023 6:36 AM
_nehr 08/30/2023 6:36 AM

Randomized grass a bit + moved time cps a little

b0mf 08/30/2023 8:04 AM

Itโ€™s here

b0mf 08/30/2023 8:05 AM

I canโ€™t play till Sunday but looks fun ^^

_nehr 08/30/2023 8:31 AM

๐Ÿฅฐ

_nehr 08/30/2023 9:16 AM

Grass and time cps AGAIN

ohn0_ 08/30/2023 10:14 AM

I found 2 skips

_nehr 08/30/2023 10:14 AM

:O first one is cool but I'll fix

_nehr 08/30/2023 10:15 AM

second one is not important imo

_nehr 08/30/2023 10:15 AM

I'll fix both

_nehr 08/30/2023 10:19 AM

ty

_nehr 08/30/2023 10:35 AM
_nehr 08/30/2023 10:38 AM

Added 1 missing grass

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:15 PM

was talking about this map in tester channel

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:16 PM

in my opinion it seems too monotonous and repetitive for its length

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:16 PM

along with being extremely tight, and ddnet has always strayed away from extremely restrictive movement

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:17 PM

entities and design are also low effort as well, for being such a short map

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:18 PM

if i was in control i would create a new "Challenges" category where short/precise/hard maps like this could go

louis.place 08/30/2023 1:18 PM

but as it is now i do not think this should be released on solo

b0mf 08/30/2023 1:24 PM

hot take

vena6080 08/30/2023 1:29 PM

if you test the map it's not repetitive and monotonous, and the length is perfect for the type of map and they way he made it.

vena6080 08/30/2023 1:34 PM

extremely tight is literally the concept of the map, which is not a problems, and "ddnet has always strayed away ..." it doesn't make sense, that mean every new concept should not exist and we would play only oldshool map ??? the game should not evolve and create challenge for good player? (btw agree with new category)

vena6080 08/30/2023 1:34 PM

idk what do you mean by low effort in entities ? maybe he should add 10 switch for fun

vena6080 08/30/2023 1:36 PM

and for design, the design is good in my opinion, and they is no correlation between short map and design, it's not because the map is short that it should be the best desgin of the game

vena6080 08/30/2023 1:39 PM

a new category or under category could be good, but it's still a solo map, so i would say, under categories is better

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:00 PM

it is very repetitive, many repeated squiggle shapes, almost all unfreezes are the same length away, only differs in direction u have to go into. everything is 1 tile wide, etc.

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:01 PM

'extremely tight' by itself is a shit concept anyways for a game where momentum and speed are the main mechanics

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:01 PM

anyways, this is not even a good example of using extremely tight as a concept

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:01 PM

exactly, different dirrection on short map, we can't call that repetitive, yes it's 1 tile wide + some kill tile, if you made 5 tiles it's not hard ?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:02 PM

good mappers use entity style to create a theme in their map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:02 PM

design reminds me of shit kog maps with clouds in bg and this blue generic_clear and ddnet_walls freeze

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:04 PM

thats repetitive asf

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:04 PM

u can make better more interesting gameplay while still being tight and hard

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:05 PM

i think this mapper has the ability to do so, but is too lazy for some reason + just wants to get away with an easy release

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:07 PM

This will have to wait for another map we are making

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:09 PM

It's not about being lazy, it's about wanting to have such a map

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:09 PM

Since we don't have any

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:09 PM

You say it's repetitive when it's clearly not

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:10 PM

We have destoros overusing one technique for a map each time, so what ?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:14 PM

not relevant to the current map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:15 PM

oh so if I all of a sudden "want" a map then i can get it released?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:15 PM

we don't have any 1 tile tight gores maps should i submit that

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:15 PM

I'd tell you to go to KoG

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:15 PM

what about a pseudofly map where u need perfect internet and requires dummy to win

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:15 PM

we dont have one of those yet

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:16 PM

you don't understand the gameplay, this is hard control on a simple gameplay, a pure control map, mapper are not obliged to create 100000 trick on map, this is the perfect example.

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:16 PM

his parts are still each different

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:16 PM

and use them in much different ways than this map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:16 PM

ye then go to KoJ

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

king of jetpack

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

We don't have such precise control jetpack map, it's fine to have at least one of the kind

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

go start ur own server network

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

because this type of gameplay has never been accepted on ddnet

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

and if it starts being accepted, it should be a better map than this

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

okay, look at Sandanjuu

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

pure control map with sgfly

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

yet still very well mapped

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

ok mb i will creat a map for u using only bug, shitty mecanics, and overusing shit tile like live freeze, good map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:17 PM

unique prts that still fit the theme

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:18 PM

live freeze is more like DDNet than jetpack

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:18 PM

omg

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:18 PM
louis.place 08/30/2023 2:18 PM

what other DDNet weapon or powerup gives immediate velocity other than jetpack?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:18 PM

without reload time

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:18 PM

i'll wait for ur answer

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:19 PM

what do u mean ? that a good points for us right ?

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:19 PM

u literaly saying, the jetpack is good

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:19 PM

live freeze is just a variation on deep freeze, not like it's gamebreaking vs jetpack

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:19 PM

im saying it doesnt fit in with the rest of ddnet mechanics

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:20 PM
louis.place 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

just bcuz it occupies a unique niche doesn't mean it's good

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

u know that using 10 draggers change the velocity and it's not good

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

when did i say maps should have 10 draggers

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

i dont like using draggers and speedups and that siht

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

We are talking about a short, 30s map, exploring 1 mechanic and its limits

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

exact

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:20 PM

you are comparing it to a 40mn median time map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

u guys are using ANY argument to try to justify this map when it fundamentally a low effort map

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

i think by low effort, you mean it's not hard to creat,

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

but make no sense

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

doesnt explore its limits

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

it's just good

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:21 PM

so much more to do even with 1tile kill unhook and unfreeze

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:22 PM

median time doesn't matter since its unfaily anyways

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:23 PM

1 tile freeze = 2 tiles, 1 tile 1 kill = 1.5, 1 tile 2 kills = 1 also taking the unfreeze is quite tricky

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:24 PM

Best time is still 3:42, still far from 30s

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:24 PM

idk why ur bringing up time difference anyways

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:25 PM

i uesd sandanjuu to explain how u can use a single technique yet still expand on the idea

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:25 PM

it's about the length

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:25 PM

like i said, nothing changes the fact that this map is low effort

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:25 PM

It's not about exploring everything jetpack has to offer

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:25 PM

if u want a map to 'fill in the niche' and 'give ddnet a map like this' then at least make it well made and thoughtful

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:26 PM

I wouldn't want a 3mn map like that

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:26 PM

show me a demo of you playing the map pls... it looks like you judge but not test

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:26 PM

30sec is enough

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:26 PM

oh okay so i can make overly faily and simple shit as long as its short?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:26 PM

don't need to play this map to tell its low effort bro

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

no, making it good count. it's should not be random

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

Also don't forget the map is about 1 tile control with jetpack (if you were to share some innovative gameplay with only unhookable and freeze)

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

the real low effort is done by you, not even testing

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

its not even about 1 tile, its just extrmely tight jetpack

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

u dont need to stick to 1 tile for whole map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

its just dumb

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

give more speed parts

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

and more variety

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

it's the whole concept lol

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

even gores mappers do a better job

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:27 PM

no, it's not about speed parts

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

it's about having a tight control map

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

TEST THE MAP IT4S CONTROL NOT SPEED

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

speed part

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

what don't you understand in that lol

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:28 PM
louis.place 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

delete these then

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

It's still about control

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

and go release

@gazebr

declined solo map

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

this is litteraly control, you never played jetpack to say this is real speed

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:28 PM

if that is control prt than u can make other control parts that arent slow as a snail 1tiler

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:29 PM

still uses momentum is what i'm getting at

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:29 PM

or make a control with kill tile which is slow becuase it's hard, but if you see th video of nehr, he is not slow at all

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM
louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM

more proof its low effort

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM

clearly just boxed in 75x200 tile or whatever

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM

most unhooks copypasted

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM

copy pasted design

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:30 PM
  • logo font
vena6080 08/30/2023 2:30 PM

clearly good structure

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:31 PM

no offense but you don't know much about good structure

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:31 PM

it's a short map that doesn't mean anything, this is a box and it's fine

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:31 PM

thue but this one is

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:31 PM

good*

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:31 PM

if we are going to release maps "To have a map like this", then it should be a GREAT map with thought put into it

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:32 PM

your'e implying this will be the ONLY map like such

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:32 PM

so why not put more effort into it

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:32 PM

If you have the time to debate here you could as well test more maps

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:32 PM

if it's going to be exclusive, spend more than 5 hours on it

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:32 PM

not relevant to the conversation

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:34 PM

It's not relevant, yes, but it's a fact

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:34 PM

if u want to talk facts i'll talk facts ๐Ÿ˜น

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:35 PM

You hardly test for a tester

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:35 PM

doesn't make my opinion any less valid

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:35 PM

i map more solo than nehr and vena combined

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:35 PM

who by the way, u added to the tester team because they're your friends

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:36 PM

I added them because they were (with nothing) the only one willing to test

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:36 PM

I greet anyone

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:36 PM

it's still obvious that you give them bias in this testing process

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:37 PM

Bias what, as I already told Coke, they have their free will lol

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:37 PM

We often argue

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:37 PM

because we don't think alike

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:37 PM

you map these maps with them as well, obviously you are influenced by their actions

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:37 PM

always on the same server, ofc you will be biased whether you think you are or not

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:38 PM

A tester should be objective

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:38 PM

You are talking about your tastes mostly

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:38 PM

doenst mean your better at it + nehr finish more solo that you

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:38 PM

No ?

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:38 PM

ok? starkiller finish lots of maps yet he is not the best mapper out there

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:39 PM

also u can let other people be the judge of who is better at mapping, but i have more experience either way

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:39 PM

yep but same argu than u

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:40 PM

then you should not underestimate the experience of nehr

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:42 PM

and even more when it's about jetpack

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:43 PM

yes, then he can use that experience to make a better more thoughtful map than this

gazebr 08/30/2023 2:47 PM

bro my map is less annoying

vena6080 08/30/2023 2:48 PM

what is your map ?

gazebr 08/30/2023 2:48 PM
louis.place 08/30/2023 2:51 PM

ok how about this:

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:51 PM

make new DDShort category

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:51 PM

here we rls both hard challenge maps like this map

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:51 PM

and also easier fast paced race maps

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:51 PM

now everyone wins

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:52 PM

We were discussing it with snail

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:52 PM

whos we xd

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:52 PM

I can't remember, we were a few

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

We ended up thinking about having a Solo.Long and Solo.Short

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

solo rn is already solo.long, just keep as is

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

make new short solo category

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

Solo.Short would include all the short solos and ddrace-race maps

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

this can go there without any changes

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

yeah i like that

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:53 PM

blackbear is too short for solo long

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:54 PM

yeah can move some

louis.place 08/30/2023 2:54 PM

actually can we move to

#tester
pipou_tw 08/30/2023 2:54 PM

Yes

frostribe 08/30/2023 3:05 PM

A challenge category doesn't sound that bad ๐Ÿ˜…

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 3:14 PM

Anything can be a challenge, any insane map

frostribe 08/30/2023 3:19 PM

True, the whole game is a challenge x'D

_nehr 08/30/2023 3:29 PM

Just wanted more advanced maps for my favorite weapon the same way I want to see more difficult laser maps

_nehr 08/30/2023 3:29 PM

Like vagrant

_nehr 08/30/2023 3:29 PM

But harder

gazebr 08/30/2023 3:31 PM

there is a key difference

steinchen99 08/30/2023 3:31 PM

Im surprised you didn't make this map!

@gazebr

Alot of discussion for a map not from you

Starkiller 08/30/2023 3:47 PM

even me?

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 3:55 PM

There is no barrier to becoming a tester

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 3:55 PM

I'm rewriting the whole testing section whenever I have the time for it

pipou_tw 08/30/2023 3:56 PM

You can already participate, the role can be granted after, it's not that important

b0mf 08/30/2023 4:20 PM

Even antibuguse?

b0mf 08/30/2023 4:22 PM

Or have I read it wrong

vena6080 08/30/2023 5:06 PM

Antubuguse is not reammy short compare to all other race

vena6080 08/30/2023 5:07 PM

We have to define "shot" which depend on type of map (solo or race ) and other detail

yaccre 08/30/2023 8:18 PM

thinking abt u makes me tight and hard ๐Ÿ˜˜

popcorn181 08/30/2023 8:41 PM

knusk1 09/01/2023 4:36 PM

im 100% with

@louis.place

on this one

knusk1 09/01/2023 4:43 PM
steinchen99 09/01/2023 4:44 PM

This map def needs some rest platforms tho

steinchen99 09/01/2023 4:44 PM

would make it way easier

pipou_tw 09/01/2023 5:39 PM

No, it's not the objective

pipou_tw 09/01/2023 5:40 PM

Also there is no need to discuss its fate, we are working on two new categories

Ryu 09/01/2023 5:46 PM

Surely discussions about changes that could affect the whole community shouldnt be held by an individual few behind closed doors

louis.place 09/01/2023 6:10 PM

dont worry bout it lil bro

this map left me speechless

tristonic 09/11/2023 4:51 AM

in all fairness i like the map, seems fun. one thing tho, monochrome blue is sooo old and overused, its not that it looks bad, just think something unique would be neat.

_nehr 09/11/2023 10:55 AM

Thanks ! It's my first design ever and I didn't seek any help so I aimed for something really simple that doesn't hurt the eyes. I can still rework it until we set up the new trial category tho

Tbh design is nice, only thing I would change I think is the unhooks, I would've made a design for it, like instead of using random blocks, you can make them with big clean blocks or elongated blocks or 2 big blocks (2x2) at the ends and join them with a line of unhook of 1 type of (1x1) tile. Also "maybe" just maybe a tiny bit adjusting the grass color.

Deadrun but 5* with jetpack ๐Ÿคก

gazebr 10/20/2023 5:30 PM

Played the map and this is what I think are the spots that need to be changed

.potatoeater 10/20/2023 5:31 PM

Didn't like the map. Small, No creativity, tight and annoying. Design, didn't get it, blue clearly not dirt with grass on it :/

gazebr 10/20/2023 5:31 PM

And ye the map is generally very stressful and not fun to play but seems like its normal for solo 5* nowdays

cyberfighter 10/21/2023 3:31 PM

Ok did anyone actually do this but on a server thats not lan

gazebr 10/21/2023 4:05 PM

this map is releasing as is? for real?

ninjed 11/04/2023 6:16 PM

As jetpack lover i would say its not rly hard map and do not deserve new categorie. Also map pretty boring and do not give fun at all. There just some annoying moments, not hard

_nehr 11/04/2023 6:22 PM

As jetpack lover I say the opposite lol

pipou_tw 11/04/2023 6:26 PM

The new categories aren't about that map, but the opposite. Do a little search on the discord to read about those categories, we already had a discussion about it

pipou_tw 11/04/2023 6:27 PM

Also, testing isn't about your taste, you must be objective

pipou_tw 11/04/2023 6:28 PM

Leave that channel be now
