The map is legit 1 min long

Gwendal 03/12/2019 3:38 PM

That's kinda short I think

jao 03/12/2019 3:39 PM

y + there is no actual content

jao 03/12/2019 3:40 PM

read mapper rules please (ddnet.tw/rules)

sadabenn 03/12/2019 6:41 PM

It's just a drag?!

sadabenn 03/12/2019 6:41 PM

Speed run map

jao 03/12/2019 6:42 PM

don't see any speedrun elements

texnonik 03/12/2019 9:40 PM
@sadabenn

drag maps shouldn't be so short .

Michel 03/12/2019 9:52 PM

i kind of like it, its a perfect map for speedruns

jao 03/12/2019 9:56 PM

why is that?

Kicker 03/12/2019 10:01 PM

do u know meaning of perfect

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:06 PM

texonik I thought it is faily enough. Old-school is basicly just freeze and maybe some kill, but no Tele. And if I make the top non freeze it would be too easy.

Gwendal 03/12/2019 10:20 PM

okay freeze and kills

Gwendal 03/12/2019 10:20 PM

but not 1 min long

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:21 PM

aaand..... Guys, cmon I just showed one map I made just to see and get some Tipps or something. But you really just say "ah I don't like that map(too short, not cool enough for me, I just hate it,..." & "this is not what it supposed to be.." yeah thank you. I didn't except you guys to say that you like it, but.. Really? Not even ONE "I don't like it, could you please change the design, or: the freeze on the way up/down is placed bad, please fix that" Say what you want. Tell me! I don't care if you say it's 💩 but say what I have to do better.. I can't see into you and figure out what YOU like. 😶

texnonik 03/12/2019 10:24 PM

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:29 PM

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:29 PM

I don't think it's good xD

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:29 PM

No need to be

jao 03/12/2019 10:29 PM

you can map oldschool style but not pure oldschool like that

jao 03/12/2019 10:29 PM

maps should have your own touch and something new to it

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:30 PM

So not pure old school.

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:30 PM

Found that nowhere

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:30 PM

So

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:30 PM

Thank you first help I received

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:31 PM

So with that (and the: too short) I can edit that. All I wanted. Thank you guys.

jao 03/12/2019 10:32 PM

it's in the mapper rules

jao 03/12/2019 10:32 PM

one of the first rules

jao 03/12/2019 10:33 PM

"Try to be creative! If you copy parts from other maps, they must have been changed significantly."

texnonik 03/12/2019 10:33 PM
@Kicker

i am not crying , just want to say that first maps can be very poor made or have problem in something as Example my first map was to hard , to bad maded basic parts , every part boring and so on , only idea with zoom out was good :/

jao 03/12/2019 10:33 PM

you should rather start a new map than editing this one

jao 03/12/2019 10:34 PM

easier to get right

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:34 PM

Oh yeah I read that

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:34 PM

But jao I didn't copy anything

Jesus Christ 03/12/2019 10:35 PM

cool map, i hope it gets released

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:36 PM

:DD

jao 03/12/2019 10:36 PM

these parts are basic

texnonik 03/12/2019 10:36 PM

I didn't played but i think that this map have same parts as other maps have , you just made what inspired you from other maps . How i sayd practice more to get good

@sadabenn

!

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:37 PM

I notice that ^^

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:37 PM

jao hmm yeah

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:37 PM

I just made one with a topic

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:37 PM

"Old-school"

Kicker 03/12/2019 10:45 PM

whats oldschool in basic dummy drag

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:46 PM

Just look what I made

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:46 PM

Xs

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:46 PM

(in my opinion)

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:47 PM

I don't know how to say

sadabenn 03/12/2019 10:48 PM
  1. Design. and then.. Just nothing to complicated
texnonik 03/13/2019 5:15 PM

i played map , just gores with dummy drag nothink more and nothink special . But interesting idea to finish map 😄

JimmyJazzThe1st 03/14/2019 7:22 PM

Essentially you have 4 extremely basic ideas in your map as far as i can see. one drag going up, a normal drag going right, one drag going down. ( can throw dummy down and solo it so actually not even a drag. Then you added a gores drag.

You should most definitely look at how maps are made today. There would be no reason to race this map as there is really nothing to it.

The only way to get better is to keep practicing. Watch people play maps. Good or bad. See what makes a map fun. Or what makes a map creative. Watch youtube videos of people running maps if you have to. It really helps to understand as much as you can about the physics of the game. Otherwise you're essentially putting random pieces togethor with no direction.

There is not much to say about the gameplay other than its 3-4 similar parts.

Keep trying man ^^

sadabenn 03/17/2019 1:20 PM

Ok guys, thanks for the nice feedback (finally) I think I understand now what u want, so look forward to see a new, better one
