Description A short race map.
I know that I'm pretty solid in almost everything in races except for aesthetics, so I would like some comments on how to improve them.
Ded to magirocker [nmaps.net] for the fastest AGD on my previous map.

this map has personality

in large chunks. very nice job. as for aesthetics, i'd suggest developing a style that you think looks sharp, but that leaves room for expansion. just keep your eye out for what you think looks nice, and create for yourself. it shouldn't look the same every time, but it might become a bit familiar in areas. 4.1/5

you're right

I've tried to nail this specific theme first, and then probably try something else next, which I plan on doing, seeing as the theme I have going now is as good as it gets

I've just noticed

You're repeating the same theme in each race you make. Be wary of doing that. Although it has improved and evolved, by mixing it up in every race you make, you will get better and better.

well

I started it Saturday afternoon, then finished it Sunday afternoon, so about a day.

nice

probably your best map asthetically in my opinion.

just out of curiosity, how long did this map take you to make??

nice

much more interesting to play than your last couple of races because the flow felt like it was really going somewhere for some reason. I agree about the gold, LHS did not fit at all. I quite like your aesthetic style, in any case it doesnt detract from the enjoyment of playing the map, but it would be nice if you mixed it up a bit and did something new.

from the title to a game?

you do have a point, but if I did that, then the other 4 tile wouldn't fit well with the rest of the theme

Your gold placement was the biggest aesthetic flaw

Gold should be consistent and, most of the time, neat. By consistent, i mean it should be the same shape every time, or minor alterations, perhaps. In this, the gold seems to be 'thrown' in there.

To make an aesthetically pleasing tileset, you need a good theme, and then spread that theme like butter into everything you do. Even the flow. Flow especially, infact.

This race was pretty good. The flow and enemies were, as you put it, 'pretty solid'. Good job.

Pretty solid race. Aesthetically, you're getting a little better. My only complaint about the flow is the first flow tile got a little annoying with the floorguard, maybe it would've been better if you had done this:
