Oh, I forgot to change the background
Wtf??
This is the only ddrace part in the map, and its not fun at all to do xD
The map is like full solo after that, but for some reason it gets insanely hard at the end (the player might not even know about jetpack at novice level and you give them this? xD)
Cant check entities but either this drag is useless because yoi can just go up with hook solo, or you didnt map unhookables in design
Also there seems to be no finish line in design, and the block design is once again just a basic colored block
what the hell happened here
Wtf
Ok so its not mapped in design, and you can also probably solo this part
So anyway, this map is a bit better than the first one - you tried adding different parts, took inspiration from multeasymap i think, so good job But its still too unbalanced, simple and also impossible to play with textures turned on
you can explain whats wrong with the parts, right ?
i would do what i did in https://discord.com/channels/252358080522747904/1276492036022734892/1276505744904159233 but i dont have enough time rn
Im on my phone rn so itll be a bit hard, but maybe 🤔
heres the entities version if itll help
first of all you have to decide what is the difficulty of the map (at least pick a range like 3-4* Novice) because right now the first half of the map is a 1 star, but the climb it suddenly 5 star or even mod
First part will be annoying to play on novice - imagine 20 ppl join your map after release - they are just gonna try getting into that hole randomly and pushing each other into kill constantly
Then there is the most simple drag part - its fine for novice 1* I guess but the start was already not 1 star difficulty, so add something extra (also your design for hookthrough is the same as freeze later)
Then there seems to be a sorta linear-mutleasy inspired solo part - not bad, but the first gores is a bit hard compared to the rest, and the hook down part is once again very annoying in t0 (again, imagine 10 tees get there and have to wait in queue to pass teleports one by one), at least in multeasy there is an option to pass it in solo
Then we come to the weapon - the most confusing spot. Not only is it useless for future parts, but there is also a botomless pit (cant see it in design) and its also in deep freeze for some reason if i see it right from the screenshot (also cant see in design and there is no undeep anywhere)
Then you get to the 3 parts - the middle one is jetpack, which for one should have teleports, not freeze, but is also too tight for novice difficulty and parts on the left and right look exactly the same and are also boring to play - you just do 2 awkward jumps and maybe hook out some ppl who fell
And then the drag part. For some reason you added kill tiles at the very last part and in a spot where its very easy to touch them (too punishing), but also you only marked half of unhookables with stones in design (also these stones were hookables earlier in the map so its confusing)
The deep part after that is alright, but once again you should replace freeze with teleports and make it much wider (also the freeze is not marked in design)
In conclusion if you want to make a gores-like ddnet map, I suggest looking at this example: https://ddnet.org/mappreview/?map=Borace If you plan to make a Novice map, look at the recently released Novice maps of the same difficulty you picked, here are some good ones: https://ddnet.org/mappreview/?map=Mint https://ddnet.org/maps/Open-32-Lane/ https://ddnet.org/mappreview/?map=Firewatch+2 https://ddnet.org/maps/Teeasy/ And if you want to make full on gores map, I suggest asking for advice in the KoG community and submitting it there
