Map 🐞:

it looks good for me

but lil old

also bg and tileset are weird

but it have own beauty

Hi! Tested your map and noticed something:

A lot of repetitive parts all over the map

Also all over the map i found a lot of unused space, or parts that exist "just to fill the space" that imo can be improved and made a bit more interesting

That's the parts i was talking about, they are not really have idea in it, or any kind of difficulty

Ngl, i like parts like that with freeze-unfreeze, but damn, that's too much!

Same as here, u make one move again, and again, and again...

Or here, u are hammering out everything from ur teammate while doing this parts

Also imo u shouldn't have places like that without any reason, u can make it smaller so 2 jump enought to reach it, or make at least hook area bigger

OK, so the map is really outdated in terms of gameplay. I wouldn't recommend use as inspirations old maps, better look at new moderate maps that was released in a year, cus this type of gameplay and parts itself sadly or not is not really fun nowadays.

It is also worth paying attention to the map's balance. Look at this part on screenshot. Imagine doing all of this, trying again and again, and when u finally finished, ur teammate doing the next part in a few seconds

Also should say a bit about the design itself and colors u choosed. First of all, sometimes u can't see or u poorly see marks u did on the map(1), or because 1-2 marks are layered with each other i can't really see arrows(2)

Also, it's not really a rule or something, but it's just a classical decision to make hook tiles are lighter than unhook tiles. Ofc if u have some custom self-drawed tiles it can be whatever color u want

Also, the freeze design u choosed sometimes looks not what it actually is, for example, on the 1st screenshot u have no space but on the 2nd it looks like there are really big space in the freeze

So yeah, the main problem for me is the outdated gameplay and amount of repetitive parts, or parts without idea, but not the design u choosed in this case

Idk if it's some kind of the oldschool map that was created years ago, but if it's the brand new map, it's not really fits standards

wee said the most important, it's very repetitive and not much interesting, also a bit unbalance sometime

Mention:

Thank you for your testing, I will take into account errors and changes, make changes to the map.

I have updated the errors you mentioned, can you check again?

from the screenshot it seems you didn't tackle the core issue of the map, that is:

Repetitive sections: doing the same thing twice may be okay - doing it 5 times is tiresome gameplay: it's basic and a little out of touch given our current stand and standards we try to enforce on novice maps.

I'd recommend taking a look at "freshly" released novice maps to get a feel for what we expect

Good luck!

look at firewatch 2, great example

Thank you again for pointing out my mistakes, I will design a new map and come back. I guess I don't want to deal with this map anymore.

yes of course
