what means idk

wt

i tnink wrong corners used on that top deep

same here on the right

and here, some of the deep ones have corners when touching the grass, and some of em dont, idk about that being intended

wrong corners

skip

skip2

kinda skip

kinda skip2

idk what happens on the start of the video but its w/e

skip3

skip4

im 99% sure that u can skip that part too by just going there and catch the other one later, but im too bad with dummy to coordinate it

so skip5?

skip6

skip7

all fixed, thx for testing DeKaeL ❤️

so what is that bug

hmm you repaired it so fast, I just wanted to prepare to repair it

I suppose you only used the standard ddnet editor? This is a bug that sometimes seems to happen, where random things get corrupted. I bet we can find a quad and crash the client by clicking on it somehow :/

lemme take a look

The issues were in the first, fourth and fifth layer. The position envelopes for these three layers were all -2, which is not a value it should ever be

I assume you copied the bg layer for the fourth and fifth layer? ^^

thank you

skip 4 still not fixed last sent .map is not the version with the fixes that nova did +skip8

love the aesthetics of this map btw <3

im rly spending the valentines day on finding a skips on a valentine map

there is still a way to skip that part

skip9

What happened? This has been fixed in the latest version.

↑

fixed , thanks for testing DeKaeL ❤️

Romanteec

Big brain style maps

• improved some parts

i used the version of the map from nova cause the last one didnt have previous fixes. I didnt know last .map had some other skip fixes too, mb i guess

cause of the fix, u cant do this part anymore, that one missing HT block down there right next to the pink tee doesnt help either

im constantly hitting the ceiling of the new HT blocks, was no issue with arrows before ( i guess, i only tried skip version xd)

this part is actually working but I will fix this because of annoying wallhammer

so skill issue on my side

idk how this part exactly works, but i can skip that unfreeze down there

• fixed skips
• fixed a design bug

speedrun fixed

how to do this part?can u do some tutorial demo

I modified part

Tried it in server test, didn't know you modified it sorry

missing blockers

This isn't meant to be faily right?

ye, they fixed the part twice now cause there was skip before

but apparently they didnt test the new versions too much

This undeep and unfreeze feels a bit pointless and more confusing that useful

There's an undeep here for no reason or it's not marked properly (EDIT: my bad it's marginally darker than normal blocker, but it still seems random for a deep to be here)

Why is there hookthrough here? :o

skip

another one

but this one is a lot harder than previous ones

$waiting

maybe I fixed all

u cant stop me

Isn't this intended?

is it? i didnt know the original way

Neither do I xD

That's why I thought it is

maybe it is, and im stupid

i was always using skip, never knew the intended way

XD

seems like it is, there is no other way to do the part

mb then

haha

Maybe there is

And we just can't figure it out :o

maybe there is 3rd skip for that part who knows O_O

this is intended

$reset

There's no need to manually reset a channel in waiting. The bot automatically moves the channel and resets it once the submission author (you) uploads a map file.

ah thank you

Include a changelog after uploading map updates (preferably with screenshots).

i think with enough speed , maybe with partner help you can go true stoppers

good map

Include a changelog after uploading map updates (preferably with screenshots).

good map and intersting design, but :P...

idk even with stoppers and arrows I have the worry that somehow somebody will find a way to skip that, maybe a wall but idk

hookthrough you can't see

when you first time do the map and you don't know map it looks like you must go right with the arrows maybe do like a warning or something like that

maybe a tp down left (first part)

in my point of view the deepfrezzes does looks like freezes not like deepfreezes maybe you can do it a bit darker or something like that

For me the solo parts on this map are not really interesting (,but the rest of the map really cool coop puzzle map).

also make it maybe possible to go back

If it was a Moderate 1~2 I'd really add a warning sign, but this picture is clearly more than just Moderate 1~2.

There's no freeze in the whole map

It's just a passing phase.

Thanks ilaK test

agree with that what you say thx for the explanation

and np

It's in every testing channel

And mods don't have perms to delete messages in testing channels it seems

RIP :c

nobody has, just heinrich and admins

I mean it more in terms of we can't moderate these channels while we can other channels

not a tw physics 5head but something about this screams "skip me"

never saw an orange checkered tile

is the map supossed to have invisible hookable

the hookables have "detail:yes" applied to them

sadge this map is not released yet

i played it and i think it's an interesting map, figuring out how everything works is interesting, but in my opinion the map is a bit unbalanced, some parts are almost novice parts and some parts are rather hard, i will explain that with some screenshots:

this is easy

this is also easy, but imo annoying that you fail if you miss the catch

in my opinion this part might be annoying because you have to repeat alot again, if you fail one catch

i highly recommend changing this part, it was really time consuming to do the thing on the right again and again, if you fail the part on the left

similar issue, you have to do everything again if you fail the hook, also i didnt like the thing you have to do on the start, if you do the wallhammer at the start with too much momentum on your partner, they will bounce into the ceiling above the stoppers and you have to try it again

there are more easy parts, i don't want to post too many screenshots, i would love to see a rebalance of some parts

with this pace going on, we will release this map next valentines day

and i agree with the statements above, i felt the same while playing it

especially the one when u can easilly hit the ceiling while wall hammer

If it's for the better, I agree with you ;D

mini skip

thanks

test

can't see undeep ( no idea should it be fixed or not ( default zoom )

visual bug

totelecp 7 too far no ?

nice troll love it

? deep ?

?

after that i relook and if no problems i ready it

Thanks texnonik for test

you epic

is there a dating place

?

All map

dating place

First ready set by Trial Tester. Map needs to be tested again by an official tester before fully evaluated.

realy like it to play and test , when i had time to do it . was fun to play !

Optimized version:

increased size

you don't want to change that part? it's still very annoying to fail at the 2nd half, because you have to redo alot, also it is the part that requires the most skill, i really don't like it. (i suggest to put a checkpoint)

map is too bright, some people said it hurts their eyes, idk how much of an issue that is

can you add a warning to join a team?

bug (center of the screenshot)

red : tons of design/entitie bugs yellow: small design bug (zoom in xd)

i also think that this is cheatable (inversed speefly)

Map channel has been moved to waiting mapper.

Tips in the lower left corner And a lot of maps don't do that.

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

on this map it's somewhat different, because you have to climb again if you don't join a team (if the spawn is closer to the start, that doesnt really matter)

pls just remove that troll stopper at the start

why would you want to risk people skipping the entire map

if i can get in like this solo after a few seconds u definitely need to change this!!! close it

no comment

💀

still buggy

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

u didnt fix the upper cut tile?

XD thank you i forget

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

U can skip this part. If u make it one block higher uve to play it with the normal map

Map is cheatable with this if change it to a normal block easy fix ( make a tele from finish to start :P

Overall I like the map. I think the gameplay is good. Compact parts but you have to think about how they work. This creates a nice flow. Wer going back to more brains less yeet.

7.6/10

we getting map ratings now gg

how is this part meant to be played? groundhamer works but is risky, the other techniques you can use here are a bit tough compared to the other mechanics in this map

Bot didn't move the map out of waiting - Welf had to do it manually. Something broken?

Probably, I'll push all my bug fixes next weekend

Hey, interesting map. I just tested with Welf and found some things to note. ^^ Gameplay:

1. Can you please add an indicator here? You don't see what to do from above very well.
2. Tele should be moved closer.
3. Move the deep up by one or two tiles? It's currently an uncomfortable spacing.
4. Precise jump to make the catch below possible. Move the deep one to the left and/or extend the hook so you can get yourself some speed. Block the misleading part at the bottom left off please.
5. Allow a safe way back? Feels awkward if one falls down and it's a fail.
6. Add a platform here? It's a hard throw for moderate while hooking the other player up.
7. Put the tele at the top please, there is so much space up there and it doesn't take away from the part.
8. Just remove the hooktrough here? It doesn't work anyways, much easier to hook from one lower trough the tele.

A weird fail, please fix this.

Skips

more skips <3

Thanks for your testing, catseyenebulous

did this get bugged or why does this still on waiting?

Moved channel back to TESTING.

👍 Looks pretty good in my opinion. :) A few minor things I noticed during a quick survey:

1. You forgot the design for this - it's only in entities.
2. Sorry I didn't mean to fully remove the blocks just make it unhook. Maybe bad wording on my part. ^^"
3. You have some slight offset for your start and finish line. Put the "Para X" back to 100 and move the design for start and finish back to it's place.

4. I would move this undeep up so you have some more time to react and it's easier to see.

wait for a long time If this map ready, I'd like to release it next Valentine's Day (if that's possible) ❤️

Looks like it worked for the other maps though.

I can't see any changes. Wrong file or forgot to save?

Maybe that's why the bot didn't move it.

I'm sry for the mistake. Here's the newest version.

Moved channel back to TESTING.

Something wrong with this channel. Doesn't get moved and the map still not updated on the test servers. :(

the map is too good

Moved to where?

catseye was refering to this

You can update a channel only once or twice every 15 minutes, due to discords ratelimits

If you spam /waiting /reset etc, it's going into a queue and the bot gets stuck

that's not the issue here, we used the wrong cmd and got a cooldown because of that. (i tried /waiting to remove it from waiting instead of /reset). the issue was that before that happened the map didn't go back to testing after the map update.

No the channel doesn't get moved out of waiting by the bot automatically.

It doesn't update on the test servers for me.

Is this still the case?

Yes.

Checking

I'm unable to reproduce this :/

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

Hmm, seems to work too.

Can you check if the map is updated now?

Yes, now it is. Thanks. ^^

Hello, I really enjoyed playing and testing the map. However there are some parts which could be improved just a little bit, to make the map suit the moderate category and to make it enjoyable for everyone!

1. Starting with the startroom, which I think could be better in general. The issue is probably the shape of the map, which is forcing players to climb up to the first part. This should be less bothering for anyone playing and I would appreciate if you could do a change there, to make it possible faster and easier to get to the first part.

Also right now it isn't clear that you need to join a team before starting as there is an entities off sign missing before the start line

2. As in screenshots 2. + 3. + 4. + 7. there are still a few faily spots which should be fixed to make the gameplay experience more fun and less frustrating for everyone.

There are only a few problems around the map so I don't have to say more than needed. Posted screenshots with cheats, gameplay adjustments, bugs and QOL changes. I'm waiting for you changes to test the next version!

Map channel has been moved to waiting mapper.

Asked for the arrow on 8 since it's not intuitive to just drop a player at the wall. (You can't judge the one safe spot next to tele from above very well) Most would hook one below which would result in a fail on the stoppers. The hammer can be removed though. :)

Sounds reasonable, alright 😄

Include a changelog alongside your map updates (preferably with screenshots).

Thanks for your valuable testing!

it seems like the bot didn't move the map back to map testing, so i'm doing it manually

Moved channel back to TESTING.

Can't replicate. Worked in #deleted-channel

Actually, maybe it's due to Wartoz's alt account. The map channel is owned by

, not

Oh interesting

Taking a look later today if no one else does it until then. /tomorrow

version didn't get updated

Most of the time only hitting the first undeep tile. Could be moved at least 1 tile down. Or you find another solution. If you move it more than 1 tile down, you could cheat with hammer from bottom.

Did you delete hookthrough and forgot that the part wouldn't work properly? xd

Seems too hard like that

Hooking him out here with weak is pretty rough.

Parts where I'm still suggesting and waiting for changes.

ss: 1, startroom should have an easier way to get to the startline. Welf suggested to have tunezone (iirc) which lets you jump higher.

ss: 3, should at least be unfaily as your map overall isn't faily. ss: 7, same as on ss 3. ss: 16, as I mentioned in last clip. ss: 19, I asked to make the throw less higher and not higher + floor should still be deeper as you have done that on other parts as well. ss: 26, would be more intuitive to have the hook closer to the player and it would be more visible. ss: 27, you should fix it, as you can skip the whole part easily which might also be faster and easier.

1x zoomout and I cannot see the info for joining a Team. Also there is no entities off sign.

You could also put entities off there for the "thanks to". Maybe you can add a text for joining a team there, instead of "TEAM" above start.

Can you try clicking on the blue checkmark here?

^

Again, the channel isn't owned by Syce, so map updates probably need to be manually verified first before they end up on our servers.

Worked!

Map channel has been moved to waiting mapper.

changelog?

as planned the bot recognized that another person than the first uploader sent a new version, but when i clicked on the check mark, it didn't go back into the map testing section. that's not how it is supposed to be? (currently the reupload is missing a checklog so it's at the correct place) edit: this map was uploaded before the bot update, so i guess this is an exception that can be ignored

Fixed the major problems above. Thank you for caring and accepting.

I added “pls joined team” at the beginning. Took most of J$on's suggestions like “ss1” and so on.

Moved channel back to TESTING.

orange: two un-deeps here, u can only keep the left one tbh

also you can just throw up the red arrow

doesn't really matter though, i'd just leave it be since its first part, unless u really want to force a specific way

is this intended?

feels not intended

i couldnt get any hammer combination to work on right side, idk if i did it correctly

please decrypt before sending

14.2 release date?

bru also nearly 1 year in testing

2114 2nd december?

what? xd

ah i got it omg

wow

This map is for Valentine's Day 2025 ☠️

maybe 2026

hammer doesnt work as louis said

you can probably just remove 1ht again to make the hammer work

this would be even better

would be more visible here

cheat

not important, but i would move it down 1 tile to make it more convenient

an aware sign or something for the guy falling down would nice

because you can fail if the other guy just jumps in already

Someone clip that

out at the end pls, I need twitch sub sound

Sry I'm eepy I go to sleep love u bye

ask pipou for voice lines

still cheat

please fix that

skip

i think the undeep below stoppers was deep before

pretty sure i mentioned this one or 2 times, but the throw is too high

the tee often hits the roof here. would be nice if you could make the hammer work more fluent so it doesnt happen anymore

would make this one ht too

didnt look for more bugs yet

but after fixes should be good

Map channel has been moved to waiting mapper.

probably fixed by holding a

deep freeze

just put normal freeze all around. tho, isnt it possible? (example: deepfly)

unnecessary

Thank you very much for J$ON's testing. I changed and simplified some parts❤️

you forgot to move that one down :D

these in design too pls

some more ht here would make the ending feel better

don't really need the ht here rn. up on you how you change it

the hammer here now has no use xd

Fixed the questions above.

i meant, that you should mark entity tiles also in design so that people who play either will be aware of that.

now you moved it further down which doesn't make it visible for people immediately :x

at the startline

these are hookthrough in design, but you forgot to add it in entities. (suggestion from ss 3)

corner

tiny tiny bug

cp4

tele2

you could make them the same design style as on "cp4" or keep them like they are.

spawn up here would be better

could place it here to make it look better

maybe same design as on cp4

extending it would be better imo to avoid a fail like that

wrong tile

wrong

wrong

this one has yellow sun, but its not unfreeze

would be nice if you could fix this little bug. some tiles in the map are showing a gap.

so many bugs!

Fixed above. So many bugs!

still there

you didnt take care of that as well

the corner is still there

this is easy to fix in paint

when connected to grass, you usually use the corner tile

please one version where actually everything is fixed xd

Everything is fixed this time. Sorry for making mistakes to make you repeat the bugs again and again.

dont worry❤️

would remove those 2 tiles to avoid touching them

most of the time i will touch it here too

would remove those completely. the unfreezing/hammer will be better and you wont touch those tiles. besides that, these tiles don't matter for the part anyway

maybe undeep for the tee after part, so i dont need to drag him all the way into the next part

deep instead so you can jump in better and dont get stuck on the deep

put design arrows here too. you could chose some different arrows, so they dont look the same as the stoppers

ready after change if there is no bugs

Fixed the questions above.

Thank you very much for your hard work Also, I hope this map will be released on Valentine's Day (if possible).

valentine's day 2027 ?

nah 3069 feels fine

apply then rdy

is it possible for Valentine's day ?

4* mod

Maybe 6,000 years from now when people are doing archaeological work they can help me publish this map.

Took the suggestions above and thanks for J$ON.

need both undeeps

Gg finally!!

Valentinesday is safed

Fixed!

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!

when release

x : 249 y : 498

Omg, i spotted this tiny detail! I hope it is not too late to tell others!

Well its not too late 🤔

this shouldn't be fail imo

not romantic yk

omg i saw your message, then played the map and ....

save and wait for fix

👍

same case for this part imo - if the person jumps out of the hole to the left, but his mate fails because he didnt spec, its dead.

i couldnt get past first part because i suck but i got deep frozen next to my dummy so it's like romantic 💋

many stopper useless and flow kinda sucks

Flow is not romantic

Fixed the x249 y498 problem; Fixed the other sun in the last part. Sorry for the mistakes.

?

I have already fixed them in my previous vertion above. However, Exactly I didn't see the fixes on in the servers. So I will post them again in the channel.

admin needs to do this after release,

can u do it? im away till march

just a normal map fix?

ye

Till March????

early march

only 1 ready map for now tho

Uhhhhhh
