Map Data

Description Inspired by wulfgang and, to an extent, blackson. That curvy theme was hard to break out of, so I've disguised it a little more here with some different gameplay. Also, cec. Only reason I'm making this.

After this contest, I'm probably going to take a break from mapping, indefinitely. I've got other projects that I want to work on, and this seems to interfere with it. Plus, I'm stuck in this curvy rut :)

I'll still be on here to review and stuff, but you definitely won't see me mapping for the pack for a while. All it seems to do is foster yet more generic maps, so I think I'll leave that behind after the next episode.

Also, blame eganic.

The right side was fun, the left side was a bit too narrow
You're the 100th person who's asked me that. GTM doesn't stand for anything.
your initials should actually be 'GHM'!

Mustardude's right

To be quite honest, I've seen little to no authors that make maps like you. It's only generic if the maps are nearly exactly the same concept every time, which they are apparently.

Try to look at it in different angles.

lol

ok nvm, u do what ever "U" want to do best, im not to dicide what u want to do

gj on the novel then ^^
i think ur to tense, every situation ive seen u in that u didnt like something u snapped (ex:note the "im quiting numa, good bye" rule with exuberence's map)

if u relaxed a little and made maps sparingly like i do, u could put time into ur novel, enjoy numa, and give urself a cooling period so u dont try destroying someone

10 sec rule :D
What you need to do is restart. Start simple and different, and then develop from there. Make a few simple, basic maps and build on the style.

The difference is, I tend to suck up influences rather than make a style of my own. That's my only issue, and by distancing myself from those influences it'd probably help me develop this core to work from.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

it's okay.

I agree with mintnut a bit. I think the idea would have worked better in the middle of the map and the tunnel areas would then be used for getting back up to the top when one fell down outside of the bounceblock/one-way area.

Oh hey

I am working on a novel too! :)
No map is generic. Sure, you can think so when pitted against Yahoozy, Losttortuga or even Zivilyn_Bane. But in the long run, you'll see that it's a style, and you only think it's generic because it's your style, and you naturally want to make more maps out of it. Or, that should be your reaction.

(P.S: You haven't seen generic until you've seen mahi_mahi. :D)

(P.P.S: No spelling errors!)
into too narrow an area...

how come

you never make something inspired by me?! maybe that will give you a new stile :D

Hee hee hee

you and your plants, GTM.

Heheh

Too many cooks spoil the cliché... I just think that quitting for a while will help remove these generic tendencies I've gotten myself into.

Well..

Quitting mapping isn't going to make your mapping any better.. hehe.

Nice map though. I definitely see the blackson roots.

Thats a good way

to think actually.

:D
I just don't think posting map after generic map is doing me much good. And I'll still map for cec. But I've decided the best way to progress here would be to step off for a bit.

DON'T STOP

MAPPING

No

Don't go.

:(
I'll post another demo with an agd route.

Novel?!

o.0
Coolio.

I

meant you not making maps for a while, not triforce not getting a demo, just to clear up any possible confusion.

Aww

That blows D:

Woah

Pretty hard for me lol, I can't get past the first part! Sorry for no Demo Data :P
