oops wait

wrong map nob

t0 novice map

rly ez like 1*

or 2* idk

soloroom@spawn

The blue arrows should be added for entities

u sure? i added them so nobos know where to go and idk if nobos use entities

plus they will be non centered :(

Rework the map to be a 2 player map

this has nothing to do with ddrace

there is 2 hook parts which can be skipped by 1 jump

the rest of the map is solo

no

I disagree with Ama. Well i didn't like the failparts. I think beginners should learn basic movements, but punishments like freeze feel a bit rough for me. Well maybe this is fine, because they can learn by themselves on this map. I don't know if this map works out, i guess it's worth a try.

its supposed to be a t0 type map for novice

Yeah people will learn to cooperate from that i think.

why there is so much hookthrough

it's easier to hook them up with HT

i guess xD

I mean

I dont like when my hook doesnt stop and goes through xd

i used ht instead of unhook since unhook requires you to edge in order to hook others

Yeah I get it but still doesnt feel right for me, its ok I think

Map it's good so you can learn how to move and save others

Ready for me, and maybe 2* cause you can fail

timecp

big spawn

Release

add more 2p parts

why

its kinda boring like it is

80% just jumping

its not really challanging

It's meant to be for novice players, not a challenge for old players. The only challenging thing this can be it's how fast you can get top1

i mean its kinda boring for them

ddrace is so much more than just jumping around and do a few hooks

timecp = bad places

solo map with 1 little part

oops, its a solo map 😛 no need 2tees

they are supposed to learn basic movements here, the teamplay is to hook each other out

kog servers work with that principle and it works for them

but i would agree that more teamplay parts are needed, they wont learn to wait for others like this

wasnt tangerine declined because of this exact reason? wouldnt it be super unfair to release this as it is now from tangerines mapper pov?

it got teamplay parts but all easy cheatable

like tangerine part

tangerine was reuploaded after the mapper added a teamplay part

tangerine part is hard to cheat for beginners

so that doesn't matter, the parts here are easier to cheat

yes i agree

some unfreezes missing :d

i think this map need better teamplay parts.. but not too easy, the solo parts very hard for novice players

:

timecp = good places lol

and ye u can complete it solo, what's the issue? a new player couldn't do it solo. it's better if it's solo-completable anyways so pro players can zoom around and help some nobos

didnt want to add unfreeze cause i think it's confusing for nobos to not get the 3sec freeze cause normally it's 3 sec

i wanted to make the last part pretty hard so people feel accomplished but i'll nerf it if people think i should

timecp = very bad places

look at 1 + 2

whats bad about them

ah wait

ill move 2 for teamranks and make 1 3 wide

dragging noobs thru the maps should not be the goal of a map

i rly have to explain it

?

i didnt say drag, i said help

very boring easy parts with hard solo parts

bad contrast

have u ever watched newbies play

or have u ever someone new to the game stream

xD

i have to ask u, u are the new player

i saw tons of noobs play

have you ever seen new players play

they cant even do the jumping and hooking

lol

they can

not

they can

have you seen noobs trying to climb up walls

Respect that you dared to post this map lol

We had a small run through, we suggest to add unfreeze at the jump through freeze parts. As i mentioned earlier i would prefer this map with more teamplay parts, because like it is now, the players will just walk through the map solo without looking at the tees around themselves.

also you should reduce the map size (also in the left and downward direction there is a bit of space that can be removed)

reduced map side to the right but not up cus then i'd have to move all the layer tiles + its 50 tiles

added unfreeze

im not adding more teamplay

if uve seen even a single player on kobra or multimap u would know why

Okay, i don't really understand it, but if that's your view, i don't want to force a change, maybe i am wrong.

if uve seen even a single player on kobra or multimap u would know why Could you explain what you mean?

new players can barely do anything at first

true

size change thx to soapy

wassup

No u

Since i don't see more stuff to be fixed/changed, this map is ready?

1 or 2\?

imo is 1*

2

2

$ready 2

1. wth why would a speedrunner jump

but FINE

2. ok

3. but top platform can be used for speed on swing so u actually need it for the best start

ad3) then remove bottom spawns xdd

wtf no then u spawn too far away if ur playing normally

remove all spawns

ok

omg don't

i think the time checkpoints are also interesting for casual players

whats the point of making the map completely soloable

tangerine fans

tangerine was literally declined because it was soloable

but this one gets through

lul

because tangerine shouldnt have been declined
