Playthrough

what

1.46 mb

Cool

ye some optimization is coming if map will make it through the test

dude

WHY

how do you even manage to make this 700kb

the color noise ig

||and some viruses in it||

Aura

why is it rgba8

what is rgba8

low effort compression

color format

wtf

cool

It would be cool for speedruns if you could save speed here

You can skip the start

moma type

For me this part is boring, it could have been made much more interesting

This map has very cool gameplay

Aren't you tired of going in and testing the size of a map that hasn't even passed the game test yet?

thats the same as saying arent you tired of going in and testing the gameplay of an unpolished map

its theyre job to polish the gameplay

before uploading

lol

The gameplay of the map is being tested in priority, not its design. What's the point of testing the design of a map that will never be released if its gameplay has problems?

tag me in the meta testing channel, if you want to talk about it, we won't clog the map channel.

why would i get tired of something that takes 3 min to do

1) Added speedrun path(requires good timing and enough amount of speed) 2) Moved hook platform a bit left for better timings 3) Added 1 more start line And made some fast optimization of tiles since ddnet universe almost collapsed because of the size of my map

how i predict here the change of gravity if i dont see the black hole

if you fakk to tele 1 without dj you die too

i think can put a dj recove

Turn off the HD and play with entities.

waht change detail in entities XD

uhh play without entities

Some changes

intended?

feels awkward to do the part again if the player go into the blackhole

color banding pls fix

so, after trying for a while i think i figured it out

what is that filename lmao

also you can adjust it (more opaque = more noise)

A few design additions and moved hookable a bit for better speed before jump

btw thanks Retsot for fix, might do it by myself but thanks!

The map is cool, but I don't like the three things.

1. This swing is not smooth and loses speed, which I don't like.
2. I need to use dj to avoid touching it, which is also strange.

It took me 20 attempts to find this way, but it feels like an unintended path, which I don't like.

rest is fine for me i think its ready|| especially with fix.||

1) You can just run through it, the blackhole is there only to introduce mechanic 2) Jump is there to gain enough speed for next part

You have a few ways to do it actually

If someone else thinks this part is not clear I might change it then a bit

Moved some unnecessary tiles to HD Added sound for blackholes

ah no need to jump at all, didnt find that, ye so then its okay.

Nah, it's good. After watching your video, I realised that your map is unique and that you need to think outside the box. i just dont like speedruns, but this map is good one for this.

cool map i tihnk its redy.

also i think this one is too dark

A few design additions Added a tune zone pushing you down for better flow movements at this part Added a few lore tunes Added 1 more image Updated credits since more people helped me with a lot of ideas

Will look for filesize improvements as it's gradually increasing

Fixes and some design changes again

uploaded wrong version

looks something like that rn Deleted experimental bg from previous versions Deleted entity bug Minor changes

fixed sounds and design bugs

Changed some changes I changed while ago

The most important changes in history of this map

very cool

could you replace the noise texture, it looks horrible

there to

.

thats my only feedback. one of the best maps I played this year. very creative'd mapped. great job^^

design: maybe just me but I cant play the map without entitys. very beatiful tho

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll play around with noise and find a way to replace it. And already received a lot of points of view about the "easy" way on the screens, I'll take it into acount and will try to force it a little

Yo, nice map.

i think you need to add message tune here to prevent uploading message twice if you cross to the finish line here

Here to

that's insane to worry about such stuff

saved the noise cuz I thought more about it and idrc much as long as it looks good

what

It would be better to add these eyes in HD

hd

I like this map. I've tested it quite a bit and think everything that could be improved has already been improved. The only minor downside to this map is that it's very simple at its core. Otherwise, the gameplay and design are good I think it's worthy of release

damn

xd

Hey, could you please avoid using the audio you renamed "PCERROR"? I made it exclusively for my map

Yeah my bad. I don't even know where I got that from, so if you say it's yours then it probably is. ||Obviously not mine

||

No problem

Ggs^^

I think you could improve the first part a bit while also introducing the other tune zone. Especially the first hook after passing the start line is a bit awkward since the black hole sticks out to the right - still lifting you up after having passed the length of the platform. In the video I moved it two to the left and one down which in my opinion makes the swing feel better.

1. Add hookable here?
2. The corner sticks out so much making the jump feel too forced. I think it would be more comfortable with a bit more space here.
3. Depending on your end you might get unfrozen a bit farther up. Not a big issue but if you want you could make the timing more precise if you work with unfreeze and place the undeep later.
4. The design is really cool but seriously how am I supposed to see where to go? 😭
5. ^ Please make some of the design more readable and I would also drastically reduce the vignetting.

The first 2 swings feel poorly mapped in comparison to the rest Agree with the design feedback mentioned above Finish came kind of sudden for my taste

Forgot to mention:

6. You instinctively dj here forcing you into a most awkward position. Would be cool if there is some sort of backup way. (Can also jump through without any speed)

1 - done(btw nice, was thinking how to improve it and had 0 ideas) 2 - done(restructured whole section, now looks better imo) 3 - I think timing is good as it is now 4,5 - changed vignette (more transparency, 180 -> 130) Might be my monitor, but I don't really see any issue at 4 and 5 but made screen more visible) 6 - returned the way it was, forced speed by lifting up tele

thanks for the feedback, very good finds

and fixed some design bugs

I was able to finish it with design now, but the sun also wasn't shining trough my window this time.

Increasing the transparency definitely helped but I'm not sure if it's enough.

Also this was me at seconds 27 & 56.

Sorry, I don't see any problems at all, everything seemed perfectly fine to me when I watched your run

What's exactly the problem with visibility?

I mean, you clearly see what you're doing and where you're going, I really don't know how else I can help while still maintaining the idea

i didnt look close and didnt play the map but theres not a clear difference between teleport black holes, the ones that u dont need to touch, and the ones that give speed. (Again, as far as i saw)

There is pretty clear difference

Personally i think design is nice now :)

epic

I REALLY liked this map, especially the visuals, but I'd like to see a little bit of acceleration at this point to help me jump to the platform.

Difficult to see with high detail on, looks like missing shapes

Missing shapes

can u put the tune in all end like fill bc if u pass end up u touch 2/3 times the tune and message appear [3] in chat

and if can fill all the up part with tune too

If I look closer in red space theres deep on generic Yellow - corners missing

❤️

Missing shapes

With high detail off it looks like missing shade here

Nitpicking I think, marked hookthrough in entities but with high details off there's nothing

Looks like missing design in red compared to others

Design looks ready

just don't cross the finish line left - right again and again?

everything is how it should be

it was meant to be like that for the better visibility

it looks fine

ye gonna fix

but this can be showed 3 times in f1 if u dont fill the end

Should I have stuck a huge pole right into the eye? You can't go there in an actual run so seems ok

Just fix that what you think is worth fixing

moved tune, 3 corners and something else

a few simple design changes

2.66 mb 💀

ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️‼️‼️‼️

a disaster

reduced the file size and also removed some images

this is still 1mb extra

what u add XD

Optimized:

I ran through the map and didn't notice anything else. I think it's ready

Sorry, maps still shouldn't be able to be readied by two trials.

I think it wasn't readied by 2 trials

Yeah, it was readied by tester and trial even at that point

Because of Markus previously readied it

It was readied 3rd time actually lol

Uh?

But then it should've been ready from the previous one not the current one.

Maybe because it went into waiting in between which reset the progress but didn't show?

Isn't it work like that every time? I saw it a few times when in between readies u put map in waiting.

So is this map ready or not?

Map size breakdown :mag:

Ybivawka somehow didn't show up in my ready list.. Well my mistake then I guess.

If you two readied this would you mind doing it again?

700kb 💀💀💀🐴

audio

Are the assets optimized?

The smallest size I could make without hurting my eyes when looking at what was happening on the screen

Assets are optimized, yes

Optimized:

ye nice didnt see it like that.

any preferred date for release?

since there is big release next week we could do tomorrow if u want (i.e <t:1780743600:F>)

Tomorrow sounds good!

aight

The only thing is maybe later that day, something like <t:1780758000:F>

k, i'll update

breakcore/glitchcore vibe map

sometimes you can skip either the death message or the kill tiles

unluck

released as race

Top 1 race map this year?👀

supposed to be race?

is that not unintentional

never supposed to be

i guess admins will eventually see this and fix it

no need to ping

isnt a big issue

Race maps can only use Race tiles, thus contain the following tiles: hookable, unhookable, teleport, kill, grenade, time CPs, start and finish line. So this is just can't be race map

yea

i was thinking that aswell

Really good map

Design&Gameplay

its ok but imo trying to play the map with the design is terrible

no. design is very detailed but it keeps a difference between blocks.

why if it was uploaded as a solo it is in race?
