much better than previous map! big improvement!

ill check out later

remove

armor needs to be spread out

add freeze over the lazer in the front layer

massive difficulty spike, make this easier

make teleporters

part skippable

oh most important, dont rush maps

better be slow but the map will be actually feeling like it was put effort in

dont use the entities tileset, it's not that good

dont fill in areas with tele

you can stand on the sides of the pillars

and put "to teles" midair

tees still have jetpack

if you get speed with jetpack the part is skipable

game layer isnt complete

don't copy parts , create one nice part , make 2nd nice part and so on don't copy one same think over and over look other released maps ( play )

map is too small

" Extacy " by Lýrø× [Novice]

oh i see thanks

Np!

this map has an old design, even if it has no bugs and errors, it cannot be release with such a design, play recent maps in a novice style and you will see and may even be inspired to mix new designs! , well, I hope you can do that , and also the map is very small, not to mention that the map is full of repetitive parts, in addition to not having a decent background,the map its a copy past , that is, the map will be declined, unless you can change everything and enlarge the map.

I see that a creator like you can improve much faster than many others, and nobody really gets it right the first time, I see a future for your new projects.

https://ddnet.tw/testmaps/?map=Extacy but look the map again

--resume-- good what should change for the better:

1 - design, play recent maps, be creative;

2 - make a bigger map, very small maps destroy the player's experience;

3 - place a cool background, like a sky with clouds, at night with stars, in a creative way;

4 - Do not make repetitive parts, just like step 2, this spoils the player's experience;

5 - improve the gameplay of the map, so as not to make the player bored;

6 - keep improving always, your day will come.

I hope what I said I can help you

u are the new mappers mentor without having one map? 😄 Nice

huh i thought everyone can test maps

Ofc.. It is not an insult or anything like that, just an observation

ye

kinda funny at some point

can't wait for his first map xd

It should come without any major bugs

i always have bugs in my maps :'c even if they look cool they shit :'c full of corners thingy

mappers nightmare 😿

map can be done solo, try changing gameplay at some sections.

i'll check the new version of the map later.

i've checked update, and the map is much better!

but, there are still some needed changes

first, make this shotgun part have unhookable tiles

second, the laser part is still, extremely difficult, maybe reduce the amount of lasers to 3 or 2 to keep the map on a novice difficulty level

and make freeze be 2 blocks wide or players can aled

third, put armor here

add unfreeze here

part skippable with dummy

slingshot off ceiling and hammer dummy with dummy copy, hard but possible skip.

remove grenade

armor

i forgot to mention, put a turn off entities sign

thanks man

no problem :D

ok

im about done testing this map so here are a few smaller minor bugs

bottom tee can cheat and still obtain shotgun

can unfreeze tee here with hammer and skip part

not needed

add a block where my tee is hooking onto

and add unfreeze up top too

skip

remove shotgun

remove insta death tiles in endroom

i'd reccomend using a different tileset for this map, such as ddnet_walls or make new freeze design, I think the map could possibly get released, just fix skips, change tileset, and make gameplay more fun, there was a map similar to this called "simpleblocks" that started out bad, but now its released.

a map can start out mediocre and turn out to be a good map, but it is very unlikely when you are just starting playing ddrace. this would need a lot of time and a lot of more feedback. what's way easier is that you first gain more experience seeing what recently has been released and then returning to mapping. right now there is no chance this is good enough for a release, I fear the map has not one part that would be good enough. you use a lot of repetition (especially laser part) and the drag parts are very 10 years ago ddmax style. the drag part afterwards is very long and repetitive, and the other player just only has to hook once afterwards. try to balance out gameplay time for both players. the grenade solo is faily because you can land on edges, and again so much repetition. everything is very tight. compare it with a recent map like Pounamu 2 (which you have played), it has a lot more space and more interesting parts. also the design is not very exciting, the hookable tiles have holes that looks distracting, you can put walls behind the tiles to hide holes.

i think in modern times there's really not a way for a new player to expect to create a quality map, not because they are bad or something, but they just need more experience and time. so don't feel sad when this won't get released. you can always play your maps with friends on https://trashmap.timakro.de/, they can even give you some feedback and tell you what they like. so play more maps and find out what kind of parts excite you while playing, making similar parts (but not copies) will likely work great to create fun parts.

im not new though i have alot of names i played since 2014

if you play since 2014 than is that the best you can produce? it's not really an argument that works well here in your favour. but I don't want to down you, it's very simple, playing and mapping is different and you have to gain more mapping experience. Lavender Forest, Firewatch now even, all these maps work well and a lot of people like them, and releasing a very old-school style novice would probably not be well received by the community. bestest of luck to you, though 😃

I personally think the main issue with this map is this map is the tilesets you chose. In ddnet, you can create your own tilesets for tw, or find some ones you really like on the ddnet.tw forums, https://forum.ddnet.tw/viewforum.php?f=42.

the tileset is surely not the main issue with this map. imagine Kobra but with bad tileset, we would say "nice gameplay, but make the design less eye-raping". the biggest problem with the map is that there was a bit of basic gameplay and that was stretched & copy pasted to fill a full rectangle. except the 2 last drag parts, that's basically what applies and the second biggest problem is these very basic oldschool drag parts, they are just not appreciated anymore. they can be fun if used correctly, but just making them long with tight corners is just below the standards

yeah man , over time I learned a lot about the editor

i hope u come up with a good one

👍
