fixed the to-tele and added time checkpoints

this image is broken btw

in the website as well

website especially

Last part i think is bad . Over all looks fun . But i would try to add 1-3 intersting parts . Feels a bit short

Agreed the last part looks annoying. There’s definitely room for more but I don’t think the length is an issue. Cool idea

Delete those, they are the same as 3-2

Before/after

Can't, shotgun will show up randomly at any of those, meaning you could shoot at point a that uses it, and the shot comes out at point b that uses it

that is really nice, any chance you could send me the file and I work off of it? (if not that's fine)

That's true, I don't know what I thought of

Sure, I'll send it after

I redesigned it, reorganized your layers, optimized the images

Now it's up to you to deal with the gameplay 😄

That shotgun here is useless, make it so it's necessary

The jump refill is useless

I don't get the blocker here

You die if you do it perfectly, also you can cheat and do it without it

As they already said, the ending is awkward

its 0 jumps tile

not refill?

Oh true, just remove the jump from the start then maybe ?

For some reason I thought it was refill

Too much testing

that part isn't really interesting

tele 14 and 3 are the same

maybe add 1 turn off entities at the logo

$waiting

u dont even need the swing

You could place the shotgun in the ground

Cheatable too

Either make a simple shotgun map or use the weapon tele in a better way

Or maybe make it so you can't shotgun on any wall and only in the "vortex"

You could also try to tweak laser_bounce_delay

design is a little hurtful to my eyes, maybe try varying the color scheme in some way or something, other than that its a good map. mayhap be good plan to make it less faily also feels hella cramped

The colors are pretty saturated, it shouldn't hurt your eyes. Have you tried with a different screen ?

The idea of the map is good but the gameplay isn't as it is since most of the parts don't work (you don't have to use the portals)

The map isn't so dangerous

But adding more tele wouldn't hurt

It doesn't matter much since it's short (unless it becomes longer, which we hope)

Am making it longer yes

getting ready to repost. Just wanted to let y'all know I'm still working on this diligently

kinda remade the map though

how did you use 4 blocks in the quad to make a repeating pattern (as one quad)? map is larger now and need to extend it

pos x = tiles 32 tex u = new pos x / old pos x 1024

fuck it we ball

redid entire map in three sections, added a livefreeze section, extended map by various parts, + more

wwait shit I should add more time cps

anyways

https://youtu.be/w5xwcC06-nU

unlisted vid of the current map

current known skips are

all 3 of them flow better than "intended" way, making them better for speedruns, hence why I'm okay with them

reworked time cps

not 100% on the map btw, but figured we got enough changes I'd like some tester feedback

corner

more corners and a tele misplaced

moved one weapon tele cause it was in the way

u should use stoppers for all parts like this

u run easy in freeze while doing part

imo u should make the tele longer to keep the old move, skip was easier than normal way

idk if u know it, u can shoot 3 times there to go perfectly down

at this part i used 2 shots, feels nice, maybe u want to add that way

i saw in video u shoot one time there, but actually its not needed, u can just swing without sg

in first part u can also shoot there

cool map

last part feels lame

$waiting

i don't really mind this

was trying, I think I'm doing something differently cause I keep hitting the wall to the left, can you show me in game/in a video?

ik, that's both cause it looks better in vid (lmao) and because it makes it more consistent for me for some reason

was aware of this before, seems way less consistent and harder to do though

did the other things though

going with this design for these stoppers (also realized I had @ on sorry about that)

thank you

Don’t really know hot to force it

Put weapon tele on the ceiling

Normal way would still work

what's going on here

I apologize, buncha shit happened to me irl so haven’t been working much on it, I’ll try to get it updated later today

added the stoppers to stop you from going backwards by accident, also modified the last part to feel cooler to play

If I make shotgoon 2 I'll probably make an edge section

but that's unlikely

whats the intended difficulty?

part 1 feels a bit strange - i went back and watched the preview and its because i was doing the part incorrectly. this part can be done 3 different ways idk if thats intended part 2 should not be fail i think it needs some sort of dragger to let you attempt again part 3 is very good part 4 is also good though missleading part 5 is very boring compared to previous part 6 is super easy compared to earlier maybe make it so you need speed? part 7 - i like the idea of part 7 but the execution is very confusing i had to watch your preview to understand what to do part after 7 with weapon teles - this part feels super nice all the gameplay here is very good tele 18 is really easy those are my opinions as someone whos quite bad at sg i think this is a solo 2 star :D hope it helps! overall fun map

Glad you enjoyed it

Wdym with part 5 btw?

Which one is it?

if you mean this, I kind of like it, it's simple and a little bit faily, but it also has a skip that's a little failier too

Part 5 I mean as tp 5

I also like this part :D I counted this as part of part 3

Thank you for elaborating <3

nice map

i dont like this, you are going too fast here, maybe add a freeze like at the start

the rest seems fine

after what i mentioned should be ready as 2 star

$waiting

If you mean that you can die from the speed if you’re not paying attention I’d rather put a platform to catch you on the left, since I think it flows well

me refiero a que podrias aprovechar la velocidad que ganas

y usarlo para pasar un freeze de 1 tile por ultimo, o usar el hook para pasar algo junto a la velocidad

no se

lasdkj

Aaaaa

Hmm

did a thing

It’s a 1x2 freeze tbf looks kinda scary but it’s pretty consistent

$optimize

$ready 2

We are supposed to vote

The rules aren't official yet, but they apply

I remember the map wasn't ready, there are a few parts that don't work well

$reset

do we? i thought wasnt ready yet, but ok

should we do it on the channel or here?

In the channel for now to avoid votes from non-testers

o damn

I don't mind doing more modifications up to you guys

I still don't see the point of these blockers, you could just remove them and make the platform 2-3 unhookable longer so you cannot cheat

Same for those blockers, I don't know why it's here

Beside that I like the map, it has some flow and the parts aren't bad

The only flow related problem for me is that part, when you get out of livefreeze you have to back to the hookable to hook INTO the block otherwise you can't make it under the platform with the hook on top

But imo it's fine, you don't have to fix it

Should be ready after these changes

$waiting

Agree with this, it’s why I had the previous skip but it just happened to be easier than normal way which had me going crazy

dealt with the stoppers as instructed

I don't mind readding the skip

but it's up to you guys

WAIT

visual bug

‼️

still looks like skip is possible lmao

fixed visual bug

didn't manage to do it

and this was the skip in question

yeye I mean like, the visual wasn't updated with the fix

oh

it's fine now

according to votes is ready

so

$optimize

$ready 2

congrats

Wenaa

🥳

I loved the map
