guys come test it

I'm ahead of you all I tested it 3 years ago.

😡

no way what?? is that the welf map???

yeah the legendary welf map also known as horseasy

The legend is back

hi chat, thanks to Souly for the design, thanks to Souly for the design, thanks to Souly for the design

old map from years ago, i reworked it 1-2 years ago and now the design is even finished what a time to be alive also im working on another map if anybody listens hi

hi Welf, very nice map, but the parts feel outdated, I think this map doesn't meet modern standards and shouldn't be released. Take a look at the recently released maps to get an idea of what a good modern map looks like 🦤

special thanks to Souly

special thanks to Souly btw

Cool map, would like to see it released but it needs some reworks imo. First off, i think it doesnt reach to moderate difficulty i think it would be novice 4-5. Keeping in mind its supposed to be a simple map to introduce to the difficulty, ill only point out the parts that feel WAY too simple, and imo, need a bit of something to feel complete:

fixed/changed some corners (thanks to manikoo)

I have played through your map. imo it feels way too easy rather than moderate. It’s also very short, so you definitely need to add more parts to it. As Pulsar mentioned above, some sections feel outdated, and for me those solo transitions between the regular parts feel too easy

some freeze having walls and some not makes them hard to tell apart from tp, i genuinely thought the second one is tp

The map is made for beginners to learn drag parts, they will take like 30+ minutes so i really don't understand why you would say it would be too short. Maybe think from another perspective.

I don't say to you to make it 30+ minutes long, Just some more parts would be great

Can you reread what i wrote

Aura

Even if beginners take over 30 minutes because they are still learning drag mechanics, the layout of the map itself is objectively short. Once a player figures out what to do, they'll clear it instantly

i feel like you just want to win an argument instead of critically reflect on what u are saying, please rethink what u said because i don't feel like i can help you here

bro, I'm not trying to win an argument, just giving you some feedback, chill

i'm telling you i made it short because first time players that mostly played novice before can take 30+ minutes and could get frustrated if it was much longer and your argument is that they "instantly" clear the map on second try even if the first try took 30 minutes?

No, that's not what I mean. My point is that the map itself is small, regardless of whether someone gets stuck on a specific part or not.

Even if a player fails a lot, the actual amount of content and stages on the map is very limited. A long playtime due to failing doesn't change the fact that the map lacks substance. Adding a few more beginner friendly parts is just about giving the map a proper length and variety, not making it harder

I also understand your point but I don't agree with you. I hope you understand me right.

I understood your opinion, thank you for sharing it

sadly i disagree

the laser is in a weird spot and rather easy to miss i think even just moving in slightly further is better

(working on this matter btw, will get a change on next update)

it's in the air for speedruns, uhhh i might put another laser on the ground but that looks ugly so i rather don't, i get that it looks weird like this for casuals but they can grab it from there

these shield are a bit far away imo

Nitpicking probably, isn't it missing corners in the unhookables? Felt a bit odd to me

Shouldn't there be corners here for consistency? The pattern is slightly different

Qol thing, maybe add some unfreeze after finishing the part, would save a modest amount of time/ Up to you

Small bugs

This part felt somewhat repetitive

Is there any cfrm for these?

Cool map

so if you end up directly next to your teammate after a drag i did't put unfreeze so your teammate can hammer you, that's how i mostly made the unfreeze style choice. Also i want to avoid unfreeze directly next to freeze because it looks ugly to me (also i don't like unfreeze next to/inside stoppers). if you think that speedrunning would be more comfortable with unfreeze instead of that hammer at a certain parts let me know thanks for the freeze inside ht/unhook stuff (will fix with the next update), i like the last drag, also there is cfrom somewhere in the map it might be part of a secret so not sure how much i should talk about it thanks for the test

at the start you do a lot of those spaces on the back of unhooks. but then along the map you just put them very occasionaly. i would remove a bit from the start or add more along the map but it looks weird since its 100 to 0

fixed mentioned corners issues + another corner issue i found, moved mentioned shields, changed holes

there are more holes at the start because it's a special place, they get less in the other parts of the map to avoid visual overload, also keep in mind that nature is not equally distributed either

Idk if intentional, arrows aren't marked

intentional yeah, the "good" teleporters have another marking without entities

Aight, just was a bit curious about it

yeah i supposed that but maybe instead of a lot to a little, just remove a little bit at the start so the transition isnt as big. Personal preference tho ☺️

i think tp in the holes looks weird and also design bug on the left

it's how the grass tiles are shaped

I learned a lot from this map; I'll finally be able to finish the aimbot

peak review

Nice map

But Imo its a Novice difficulty

nayh

ddnet rating system is useless, don't agrue about it

i'm fine with novice aswell

mod 0*

wasnt your purpouse for this to be an introduction to moderate tho?

fixed some unimportant entitie bugs (most were out of map) and reshaped the last part to remove the stoppers

dont want to spam the chat with new versions, what do you think about putting hook here instead of unhook for a faster swing? i mean i will almost surely change it

weapons being only for 1 solo part is stupid

imo its fine

Quality gameplay by

(Couly) and Fappy if u guys stuck in some parts

lol

look he has a video your old design

yeah things are different now 🥸

I played the map, like the simple style. I also think it fits amongst the novice map pool, as there are some novices that are harder than this map

• I have already chosen the moderate map for moty and I need a novice now

Is moderate

Id honestly change it to novice 4

Like its ezer than mellifuous

Cus this requires no thinking

Diversity is also harder

Not by difficulty but through length

imo this would be a perfect case of a mod 0* map (yes it exists), welf wanted this to be kind of a bridge map between novice and mod

I just can't set it to 0 here

ye its perfect for 0 star

whats the exact purpouse for 0 star maps btw???

cuz i dont think its for bridge through difficulties

i think we can redefine the purpose

simpleplays are 0* because they are quite short..

and cyo

yeah lets not talk about cyo

😮

Added entities off sign on the logo

just a test if the bot is working

U add a kb bro stop lying

map seems ready

bot is late on this

should've been a novice imo

nov 4* even

Brutal even.

Insane even.

Fun odd.

always gotta be the odd one out

😎
