Friend A

hello?

i just noticed the channel was created.

seems like there were many maps are testing,need i wait for another day to finish my map?

can you rephrase the question? i don't understand it. testing usually takes weeks/months currently

sorry,i cant use ENGLISH well. maybe i need a Translation software

It seems like there are a lot of other maps being tested. Will my map be delayed because of that? I guess I might need to wait a while before submitting my map.

Looking forward to my map being tested...

Hey! maps can take from weeks to months, it depends on what maps testers want to play in the moment. You will probably have to wait a week or so for the first test. Also, after the first test, the map will enter a cycle where it gets tested, and you fix it.

thanks

My first map was rejected, hopefully this one will get approved someday in the future.

which map did you upload?

uhhhh]

In 2024, I submitted a simple map, but after that, because of my studies, I didn't get to see my map being tested.

Actually, that map really wasn't done well, so now let's make a few new maps.]

I played the map and i am sorry to inform you but this map is not good enough to be released on ddnet. The first main issue for me is that the map is unbalanced. I mean some parts are easier/harder than others but also this map uses some brutal techniques next to easy moderate hooks. This applies especially to the parts where you hammer your dummy and it hammers u back in freeze. It's rather a brutal technique, moderate players might not have a bind for this aswell. The second main issue is that the map doesn't flow well. Basically at every part there are some awkward stops you have to make that ruin your momentum. I recommend looking at maps like https://ddnet.org/maps/lumine or https://ddnet.org/maps/Depressed and compare it to your map to see what's different. Also it seemed like this map wasn't really tested a lot. Especially if you are rather new to mapping, i recommend asking your friends if they can take a look at your map and tell you what they think. Usually you will see which sections are confusing or too hard for a certain skill level, if you have someone of that skill level playing the map. Screenies:

1. Red: the setup is awkward, because it has length 3 and not 2 Yellow: this hook is quite tight and ruins the flow, funny idea tho, maybe find a better setup
2. Red: This technique is brutal not moderate, it doesn't fit to the easier parts Yellow: For me this part was quite confusing, maybe make it simpler and add more space, because i didn't know what you want me to do and it felt like i cheated it
3. For me it was awkward that i had to use my deepfly bind multiple times while playing this part.
4. For me the first catch was a bit too tight and then the next hooks ruin the flow, also when failing the wallhammer it's hard to recover because the dummy can land inside the teleporter if you don't take care
5. This part is just very tight which ruins the flow, also the section in the middle was confusing and for me annoying to perform, maybe only me

6. This part was awkward to perform to me, because it's confusing that you have to go to the ground. Lowering the unhookables and teleports on the right can improve the flow easily.

Also please don't get discouraged from mapping. You got some nice ideas aswell, but it takes time to understand how to implement ideas in a way that feels nice. Currently reworking this map would take a lot of ressources we don't have, of course you can still work on the map, but i would recommend understanding the issues here and then start a new map, because it's hard to fix maps when there is not a lot of space to do so.

Thank you for the feedback. I will take your advice and make changes as soon as possible, then resubmit.

As i said please get some feedback from multiple players before working on the map. Just fixing the screenshots wont do it.

A long time ago, when I was making a drawing for the first time, I asked for advice from others who had done drawings before, but unfortunately this one didn’t, sorry.

I'll try to make the game smoother and more fun for the players.

I fixed my map, but I haven't had my tees friends test it yet. After the next rejection, I will have my friends give suggestions and then upload my map again on Discord after making corrections.

Take ur time before reuploading the map, imo you need to learn some things about mapping first, this map has many issues and we don't have time to change everything with you. Also take a look at the maps i mentioned.

ohno,here we go again

I will first seek more advice from experts in the Chinese community before submitting... I will try to refer to other high-quality maps more.

Oh sorry, I didn't go to ask someone else to test this picture again.

I borrowed (copied?) the style of other maps

This might be uneven in difficulty

I need some blunt critiques, so feel free to comment openly.

wow,dont play it

i need to fix it

ok,i fixed it.

uhhh

I want to ask a question. Here is night in CHN. Is it night in ohters tees view?

Hope I wake up to see my map tested and critically reviewed.

it's evening in europe and like midday in USA etc

git gut

unmarked unhook

you can skip 2nd ht

tele block is too dark ( no opacity )

some parts felt like could be easily improved

some parts felt a lot easyer then others

small gaps in improtant parts

thankx

thanks

here we go again

uhhh.I cant understand what mean.My App cant translate it well.

Is it mean the space small?

I tried to balance the difficulty and improve some levels...

if you do the part like u do other similar parts the dummy lands inside teleport. you have to do a correction jump to make the part works which feels awkward. tbh it wasn't well explained

wow okay

i tried to understand it then fixed it

Waiting for someone to test...

be patient there's a ton of maps in testing and a few testers ☺️

thanks

Yes , tele is too near unhook , for no reason.

thanks,i get it.

I feel like my map probably won't be tested for a long time, and it'll still take a long time to make edits. By then, I might already be at school, so can I cancel this map? I'll come back to it when I have time in college.

How do I delete my map and stop it from testing??

Testers will do it soon

Since you asked for it

okay,thanks

seeee u againnnnnn~~~~

Feel free to submit again once you are ready. :)

yes,thanks!
