havent played it yet but off the bat i can tell you it would be an instant decline
21:02
the gameplay is way too tight and theres nothing to it
21:02
but i wold recommend reusing the design on the nxt map i like it 👍
Avatar
thx, someone told me that this kind of gameplay wont be accepted anymore
Avatar

Bomf
but i wold recommend reusing the design on the nxt map i like it 👍
well, i handdrawn every single freeze
21:03
to avoid repetition
21:03
wasnt worth it
Avatar
yes visually its great
21:03
but this gameplay wouldve been accepted like 14 years ago xd
Avatar
the thing is that i love this kind gameplay (edited)

21:08
idk man
21:09
this part 3
21:09
is pretty nothing
21:09
im just saying for referance
21:10
this part is way too tight having only one tile of movement which is just not very good for gameplay
21:10
the gameplay is literally 1 click for this part
21:10
as i said theres nothing to it
Avatar
los sanktoras is love
Avatar
and its the same with all parts
Avatar
what happend to the community
Avatar
what do you mean
Avatar
todays mapping rules feel very linear
Avatar
and this map is not linear
21:11
its the most basic parts with the smallest gameplay to them
21:12
how this map is not linear
Avatar
nah its just u can only build on type of gameplay or it wont be accepted
Avatar
no thats not true (edited)
21:12
you can build any gameplay as long as its good to play
21:12
or interesting
21:12
this is neither
21:13

21:16
it looks much worse than earlier in the map
Avatar
tits not done
21:16
wip (edited)
Avatar
ah nvm then
Avatar
but its gonna be another abandoned map cause nobody likes that kind of gameplay anymore 😦 (edited)
Avatar
you can ask any of the testers or even
21:17
anyone else in this server to play the map
21:17
and they will probably say the same as me
21:17
design is nice
21:17
but gameplay is too tight
21:17
and uninteresting
Avatar
ik, found that out
Avatar
i would recommend
21:18
playing the game more first
Avatar
so you can get a better understanding
21:18
alr gg
Avatar
a tried so many different solo map, went through a big part of the list and it doesnt make a map better if it hase more space

Avatar

Avatar

Avatar
please send me 2 maps on the solo category from the pst 20 released
21:22
that are the same gameplay
21:22

Avatar

21:22
nobody likes that gameplay anymore
21:23
i wanna decorate
Avatar
get in contact with some mappers then idk
Avatar

22:40
as i said its a good thing ur not mapping it
Avatar
now im questioning all of mapping rules
Avatar
well that map was made a long time ago also
22:41
it came out in 2015
22:41
but you asked me for gameplay i liked not gameplay that was recent / good in your opinion
Avatar
air dash is a map were i need a vid to understand how to play it
22:43
and that is trash
Avatar
thats very not true
22:43
i beat it on my first try in about 15 mins
22:43
on release day
22:43
when no videos existed
22:43
its very simple to understand its just you go where the rocket is pointed
22:43
and it has delay
22:45
theres many more examples but
22:45
that should be enough
Avatar
theres a clear difference between those maps and
22:47
just nothing

Was the only way that I got better at mapping, for around 2 years I was a bad mapper, but once I started playing recent maps I became a good mapper.
