Map 🐞:

this is unreadable in entities too much spam

the cp in the spawn are useless, the space is not well used (too tight)

the first and second parts are cheatable

XDDDDD

insane map

hi, unfortunately we don't release such maps. try to avoid spamming special tiles and checkpoints, read the mapping rules and guidelines, make the gameplay more interesting. you can take the latest released novices as an example to understand what quality will be satisfactory.

the jetpack and the entities placement are useless

and lot of other problems

Mention:

pls ><

it was my pause, i have my exam tomorrow

ooh ok

Updated map

, can u see my update?

I'm not a tester

alr, thx... can u talk to him pls?

Testers do this in their free time

Wait for people to review this

alr thx for attention

this map isn't even releasable anyway since its like 60x30

takes like 20 seconds or just zoom out twice to see the entire map XD

???

the new one u mean?

I'll have to test when I get home. How much longer is it even?

bro 2 minutes 13 secs I made with my friend

not kidding

...okay?

theres some tricky parts

i just made it go from [Novice] --> [Moderate]

i will look, im not really sure there's enough space if it's mapped in the same style

oh boy

I'm headed home

nah, I increased size

btw, being accepted or not glhf!

this is not even the same map anymore?

either way it's not worth releasing

faily for no reason, big no-no in novice

you want noobs to time a hook in a 1x1? lmao

even as a moderate move, this is just artificially difficult

not fun

can I try uploading it but change the diff

?

basically just glassbox.

no

was both a boring solo and 0.5 seconds long

wdym??😭

this map is still incredibly small, all the parts are like 2 hooks or just jump

that's sadly true btw...

2x 4t gores in novice also a no-no

I know that's actually not novice... I remade the map entirely, from zero.

again dont like this, there's no spot to save (btw you cant just take a novice map that gets owned and then change it to moderate)

too short

what if I make it longer?

why do you even need the walljump?

these parts are not even interesting

you changed it to moderate but you're saying the player shouldn't be able to throw there

every player ever would throw at moderate level

try it with friends... playing as dummy is actually boring... I already finished it, with dummy and friends.

might need to make it longer and better structure

it was lot better

we are

i know

oh...😑

no place to land after the solo plus the unfreeze just strips your dj so trying to fall slowly is hard

im treating this as a novice, you cant just swap difficulties if it doesnt get released

that's what I'm saying

im hopefully giving you some criticism so that your future maps will be better, im not trying to be rude or anything

I know

this actually is fine really

I appreciate your tips

but it could be mapped wider

so that there's more space to land

i feel like the map is a bit tight but just might be me

this is the only part i like basically

but yeah, small, all parts are not new or interesting, needs more spacing for noobs

yeah... I made it 100x50 so it's really small

it feels okay to play but we are used to awkward maps. novice should not feel like this

even if the parts are bigger, there's barely any parts to it and you can finish quickly like a glassbox. we dont really release maps like this

there are exceptions sure but those exceptions have been made in the past and we've moved to new territory

I'll increase size and redo some parts that are unfair for novices...

Just to get released...

i think it would be best to focus on more part ideas, consider testing more often and sharing in

just spamming maps in testing category is not a good way to build rep, imo

which it sounds like you really want to do

i also didn't play with dummy, CurlyMorgan is a friend

hopefully this helps 🙂 if you want more specific feedback i can try to elaborate

most important thing i want to say is that you should not be focused on "just getting it released" you should want to make a quality map that you are proud of and submit for that reason. dont admit that you just want a map released only

thx and just to know, if my map gets released (that's not the case) can I change its structure?

no, for ranks to be preserved

maps cant really change after they are released

except in rare circumstances

alright!

i hope you continue to map. many people who post a map here and get rejected lose a lot of confidence and then they never try again. i think you can always improve 😄

Hi, i justed tested ur map, cuz wanted to give some advices. So yeah, basically pay attention to everything that has been said before:

,

. So i see kinda "Glassbox" vibes on this map, and actually it's a bad maps from which you can get inspired, they were released hella bunch of years ago and not really cool to play today. So i suggest you to take an example from such maps as:

if u want your parts to be more complicated but easy

if u like parts with a lot of space for basically more players

if u want to your parts be creative, but kinda hard

if u want to make a speedrun-like map with easy parts I'm not saying you should copy parts or shouldn't make something yourself, no, just we have a lot of maps that is tested by time And also i need to say that novice maps have a higher standards because it should be mapped for new players that don't really know how to play and just learning it, so this maps can't be low quality or really hard and punishing >> https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1325407774519332946/1343252335777812677

but give more attention to visibility, try to make everything visible, but without highlighting it with bright acidic colors, etc. stick to a few colors, make variations from them. GL!

thx for it!

(I hope) its the last time I update it... thx for supporting my determination!

I made it quite bigger, like doubled the size

oh, and I sent the wrong one! sry

what?? alr tho

bruh, lemme see if it go

i promisse its the last one I post for update

👀

damn... I'm nervous!

idk if it's good... Or even balanced.

I'm not pro at map making

I just follow some tips and other maps that I like

Hey pHzin,

your map got declined already and wee :0 suggested you some different kinds of maps to get inspiration from.

This map is far away from those maps and far away from being released. You should really look at those other Novice or Moderate maps to see what makes them interesting and fun to play.

You said you played your map with friends already and they liked it. I'm not sure about that because your map was really hard to look at and its gameplay is worse than all of our released Novice maps.

Also when you only need less than 1 day to create a map, you can be sure that its quality won't be great.

As a mapping beginner and beginner player in DDRace you should play way more maps to get a feeling for what is good and what is bad. Looking at the first version of your map, you don't really know when to use special tiles and how to map them properly. The spacing issue persists and the parts are nothing special.

That's why I highly recommend you to play more maps in general and to look at our recently released Novice maps and see what is different from yours.

Please don't submit your map again after some changes. Take the advice and gain more experience in mapping and playing. Focus on mapping 1 fun/creative part which has the comfortable space and offers some challenging gameplay for Novice players, instead of speed-mapping some garbage💀

You will progress by mapping parts with an idea behind it and you will notice that they will actually be nice to play.

Recently released Novice maps are: Diversity by Gazebr Axison by texnonik EasyRight 3 by texnonik Grell by xewoiy Cliff Charge by Kaniosek El Quisco by Colo-Colo Mint by 寒鸦 & Wartoz

Btw. this part doesn't work solo as you remove the jumps from the player. You would need to give the player 2 jumps back. Endless jumps wouldn't work because he can't even jump once when you remove them.

Anyway that part has no flow as it is and is not fun xd

Mention:

Avoid mapping these long boring paths. We don't host gores maps, please avoid mapping that much gores. Some is okay in your map, but right now it just makes the look that your map has no idea behind it.

J$ON is a good map tester, gave reason when declined

create another map based on new maps (without copying parts)

Who you thinking about, huhh?

updated map, it's been a while... hope its good rn! btw, thx for all reviews and feedbacks.

Ur map is declined thx

Read what is written above and acknowledge it

U simply gotta gain more experience

Your map won‘t be anywhere close to be releasable so the testing process is done here.

You can’t gain that much experience and a good feeling for high quality parts in just a few days.

I‘m just telling you that the result in testing is gonna be the same

alr, I actually read messages above... so do I post it again? U at least opened the map?

I'm just asking...

You will have to post a new map, but as it was already said please look at more maps that were released recently before mapping again. If you just create another similar map with outdated gameplay it will simply be declined again

Focus on making these 2 parts great and then keep mapping more of em

You don't even need to do the right part of it.. Both can just fall down

You could cheat here

Also the part doesn't offer anything gameplay wise what another map doesn't offer already

Or at least something as good

And your map shouldn't be 80% solo gameplay. Just look at other newer Novice maps to see what is different.

They have way more parts, they have nice structure overall, they don't just spam gores/jetpack parts to make the map longer.
