Map 🐞:

fix

wow can't believe we finally got a moderate map

im so tired of novices and brutals

finally something in between

i got tired while checking the map 💤

you can accidentially fall here and go back to the top which takes some time

fix silly edge if its not intentional

okay thats it from me

set some stuff on high detail mode so like you wont be as laggy and clearer gameplay

ill give this map 27 blueberries

some fixes

🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐 🫐

if you count its exactly 27

made hd for some of the objects, and small fixes

WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL NAME OF THIS PEAK FANTASY🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

bad spacing, makes for awkward hooking

getting deeped right after 1st part is kinda bad design IMO

put checkpoint near tele, just good practice

u gotta color these differently

itgs nice to let people afk if they're on bottom

for example letting them win by only holding D

dont understand why this blue tele is needed

no need rehook on the left

really weird filler, i don't like how you gotta fall for 500m before you can start it either

unfreeze is misplaced

a tad too easy

crystal/plant doodads in high detail

itd be nice to have a bit more decoration in spawn room and finish

yk, make logo a bit transparent, add some bushes, etc.

I liked the map but there is one or another swing that felt more difficult than the rest for example this one

u can do swing wihtout use that hooktrough

also u can do it solo

I think it would be more comfortable if you used chetpoints or something so that in case they fall back they don't have to fly

this hooktrought is useless

Anyways good map

oh this is what id id originally xd didnt know it was 2p part

XD

deep not needed

nvm rocket wasn't needed for original part even

I noted for myself many minor points for rework in addition to what was written here in the channel, there will be a rework in the coming days

stars_group, logo_moderate, plants_moderate can all be downscaled

and i dont think you used everything from marks, font and amazing_freeze so they can all be combined for a smaller filesize

waiting for this

we will do this in the final version of the map design if it is accepted

I see you did my job for me ^^

little design bug at the end (half of 2x tile is looped at bottom)

very cool map, its definetely gonna be released, u can do design stuff which u wanted to do

final version

meh

Am I the only one having issues with the name?

Ye we shouldnt name it like the category

good name

i would love to make a solo map that i'd call solo ngl

but yeah i agree, the name shouldnt be just

should be fine, there's no rule about that, also we have https://ddnet.org/maps/Noovice-33- & https://ddnet.org/maps/Insane

A (map) name is supposed to be for identification purposes and shouldn't mess with that by creating confusion on purpose or similar

Aware, but I think we want to distance us from those precedents because of above-mentioned reasoning

pretty sure neither were meant to go into respective categories

i think noovice was made for novice, "Insane" was created before ddnet existed

okay fair, at least for me this map name is more fun than confusing tho but thats just my opinion

noovice was a tournament map and always rated moderate 1* tho :o

I think we could change the name of the map, but we are happy with this one

If you don't mind that much I'd really suggest to change the name 😅

we made a new name for the map, please change it to "Not Novice"

XDD

Thank you for being so cooperative 🤝🏻☺️

novice 5*

when will testing of this map be completed? I think everything is ready

not novice goes hard

New novice?

yeah i think 5* novice would absolutely be cool for this map

Lets put it into oldschool 2*

Thats best i can do

Insane 5*

It's okay like this

submit in unique

I noticed that the map disappeared from the test servers, and in the logs there was no update to the new file, so I'm sending it again

No release

pls adrenaline 7

hi, i'm release(i don't exist)

Please stay patient. We have maps in testing that wait for much longer than your map. If you want your map to get tested and (perhaps) released quicker then the best way is to help by testing other maps (and not annoy us by asking about release).

i just found it a bit funny that your tester writes the same "when release" under this map, besides he already set it to ready. louis tested this map earlier, all the edits were made(and all screenshots of the edits are attached.), i also want to note that this map is more ready for release than most of those that have been in testing longer, therefore, getting rid of it in the first place would be the easiest way to reduce the number of maps in the test.

But still, maybe it's more fun to release Linear 2.

i wrote it as a joke to continue "when release" chain. You can try to find any other tester in game and kindly explain that this map is ready / very close to ready. it will give you more chances than writing here sarcastic comments every day

Freezy wrote that text after you said "when release" on 3 different days, it can be funny but it turned into spamming

Upper tp looks like freeze

beatiful map

more things could be changed to hd, such as the viginette, grass and stars

maybe even the bg if theres a default quad behind it

some images could be combined together to save on filesize like generic_lamps+generic_moderate

and some can be compressed, like the bg and "light_v4"

done✅

just want to say, fucking beautiful map!

Really nice job, 10/10

Thanks to the co-author

, he was the only one who did the design.

ohhh yeah,

map deepblue aswell, your really making banger design

cool map

when release

when will you be able to finish testing this map?

dunno been busy with school and deadlock the game

it's very sad, but all you have to do is write ready and the test is complete

talked to mapper, waiting for some changes

i wouldnt post these small thingies without more feedback but since it's in waiting i will add tiny things, didn't play the map just looked for things i could find.. tiny graphic bug here (it's visible without the transparency i used to detect the bug)

unfreeze inconsistency, on the other places in the map this tile would be unfreeze (i have a screenshot as an example too, but i guess you understand what i mean)

• Design changes were also made based on Welf's comments.

Upload failed

A couple tele here would be nice so you wouldn't need to run -> all the way

At this point the player is through the part and undeeped already. You can safely remove deep inside the CP 16 here

Could add HT here just for making the area be better. Depends how you intended the part to work. If you intended it to work with the hook from top, then you could close the bottom area with unhook instead

At the beginning it would feel better, if the HT was placed more to the right, because hooking from the side while running is just better.

The other marked area feels a little bit unsmooth to play and I think you could improve it and keep the flow going.

I can go up instantly

Otherwise the part looks way better than before :D

Part would feel better, if you mapped it without tiles for the tee to sit on.

this is done against skip in duo

I see

What if it was something like that?

I would do more space tho to make it more comfortable

skipable

it seems to me that the current construction of the part is already well done

Like that maybe

It is not bad.

Just a suggestion to make it more smooth

Two people have a grenade, it's still skipable

ahhh

Not skip

Imo way cleaner if it was like that xd

Can be removed

Don't need 2 spawns in solo part. Also would move the To to the wall, or 1 tile away from the wall.

More wall here would be better.

Btw. Imo you don't need multiple spawns on most of the parts. Where I would suggest you to use them is at parts where 2 players will spawn.

Example where you should keep em

It is okay if the freezed player has 1 cto

Are you talking about checkpoints?

I don't think it's critical, what's the problem with such moments? at least in t0 players won't stand as a tower on 1 tp

Can go here and skip 1 hook

All tele spawns in general

You can keep it :D

Just saying in case you wanna remove some to keep it cleaner

I don't think this is a problem, it will be easier for someone to hook

1-2 more Ht would be more comfy here

Okay

Imo the jump here is a little bit weird...

Maybe just me, ignore xd

Would remove ht here and put unhook. I never use those to rehook. You can choose tho if you wanna keep em

There could be more space down here for the hook+dj

Tele here would be nice

Would maybe put 1 jump here instead of djing up.

Good map overall, good parts :D

Thx for your upped version :D

I would add 2 as it keeps the flow going and I can just hold A and rehook there. (I can still do it, but the hook is just a little tight)

Sometimes the swing will fail really close. You could probably remove 1 or both freeze as you will need the drag anyway.

These are shown in entities but not in design

HD pls

I would give the ht a little bit more alpha 150 - > 130

While these don't affect the gameplay, I still suggest you to keep a proper marking for all tiles.

little bug, freeze behind it is missing ( you can see it behind the edges )

add freeze design

add tele design

here too

not marked

I would'nt mark the unsolo here, its pretty obvious

If you do arrow markings, please mark them with an arrow in entities as well

the white shadow is not needed

freeze design missing, please look out for this throughout the map

add freeze

At the same part. They dont connect very well rn

If you move the stoppers up, you won't need unsolo within cto25

solo not needed here

maybe a couple tele here

maybe unfreeze in these too

close

I don't think there is a need for borders there, because the whole area is closed by teleports

I meant that you should remove the tele from entities

xD

design bugs have been fixed

fix design bugs

fixed bugs with mappers, ready for me

the story: ive put ready on this map while ago, then the map got waiting status from another tester -> ready from another tester -> im trying to ready and getting message above

our map is definitely being prepared for a flight into space, now we need 3 ready

bad bot

:(

Optimized:

4 stars*

this day has come. I want to thank everyone who believed in me, my parents, friends, grandma, and also my cat, we were really looking forward to this day

not moderate.. coming soon

will you ever reach fun category and make a map called "not fun"

not insane💀💀💀

Optimized:

I'm waiting for the release to play it on stream!

your map has just been released, and you now have a 2-week grace period to identify and resolve any unnoticed bugs or skips. After these two weeks, only design and quality of life (QoL) fixes will be allowed, provided they don't impact the leaderboard rankings. Be aware that significant gameplay changes may impact and lead to the removal of ranks. Good luck with your map!

yay

Very good map

i like it too, only the edgehook is missplaced

i didnt like the faily fly parts, felt more like brutal

but very nice map

hey its not novice

you got what was advertised

what if this part was not moderate

yeah, i kinda think mod 5 would have been fair, just because of how much fails i saw on fly part

but the other map is mod 4 so it is what it is

not moderate could be novice 🥀
