Map 🐞:

blaiszephyr 01/10/2025 2:15 PM

look for obvious design bugs and consider gameplay quality.

the hookable in the freeze is not needed but it looks ugly. the unfreeze being so far down is meh in my opinion - no harm in lifting it up. try not to add dead sections in your map if they have 0 use neither in design or gameplay.

and these are just the first two parts.

The map is basically just a mix of aled's, fly's and edge jump setups. It felt super boring to play through.

it adds no difficulty but pure annoyance having to do 14 aleds in a single map or wait 3 seconds going through each when not (if possible even, on the last screenshot you enforce 3! faily aleds.

for comparison - a few of our hardest maps in the game don't do that and enforce a maximum of one per part - some not even faily.

the design is okay'ish but background elements such as jungle_midground shouldn't be visible when you turn off high details -tho that is my own opinion.

the gameplay itself is just the same 3 mechanics spread across the map - think of variety and gameplay that you and others may enjoy.

map thumbnail looks like its a pre 2015 map possibly even a|| ddmax map||

blaiszephyr 01/10/2025 2:19 PM

it may

like that - but the map has nothing to do with ddmax style(d) maps - it's

mechanics but just to much of each and no variety to it

.cammo. 01/10/2025 2:20 PM

if so then its impressive how the mapper pulled it off

louis.place 01/10/2025 2:24 PM

i like the design colors

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:38 PM

I'll show you what cool maps are!

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:38 PM

my new map will be the best

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:38 PM

πŸ‘‰ πŸ‘ˆ

.cammo. 01/10/2025 4:42 PM

you cant make a map that has everything, so it wont be the best

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:44 PM

glitchhold 2 haha

balami. 01/10/2025 4:44 PM

Make Linear 2, the sequel of the best map

.cammo. 01/10/2025 4:46 PM

i find 8 bit full adder to be the best map because the calculations are so optimized

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:46 PM

my new map

neon13ya 01/10/2025 4:47 PM

I'm still building it, maybe you'll see it next week.

mirfay123 01/10/2025 5:06 PM

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:10 PM

I do not know what to call a map with endless rockets.

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:10 PM

πŸ₯²

mirfay123 01/10/2025 5:10 PM

rocketverse?

mirfay123 01/10/2025 5:10 PM

just poppedd out of my mind

.cammo. 01/10/2025 5:10 PM

endless rockets

balami. 01/10/2025 5:11 PM

take your time when mapping, most good maps are not created within one week

mirfay123 01/10/2025 5:11 PM

y

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:12 PM

It's just going to be a solo map for a few minutes of gameplay.

.cammo. 01/10/2025 5:12 PM

uhh

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:12 PM

I try to draw beautiful sprites.

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:12 PM

😒

.cammo. 01/10/2025 5:13 PM

that usually means the map takes 50% longer to make

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:14 PM

the main thing is that you approve it ._0

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:15 PM

the time spent is not important

.cammo. 01/10/2025 5:16 PM

i mean id like it if my map was released this year

.cammo. 01/10/2025 5:16 PM

so i cant take longer than a month for sprites

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:20 PM

I'm an artist in the past, so I don't spend a lot of time. But when it comes to building, things get complicated.

neon13ya 01/10/2025 5:20 PM

Good luck building the map

happymaciek 01/10/2025 6:19 PM

Just ask gpt tbh to combine those 2 words

oxyzo. 01/10/2025 6:26 PM
