I have recently gotten back into normal climbing after an extended time of M79 climbing, and though Viral told me that bad climbers should not make maps due to lack of skill making the maps boring, I found myself mapping even still.

Due to popular response, I changed my colour palette. I picked pastel shades, because they are easy on the eye. In regards to the map itself, it is a rather short one, as it is but a practice piece.

The colours:

Orange: normal
Pink: deadly
Green: bouncy

I appreciate feedback a lot! Keep it coming, and have fun climbing!

It's bright D: on my screen... but hey.

[DarkCrusade]

Does it look as bright in game? Is it just your screen? I will have to adjust the shades if it's far too bright.

Tbh it's the linear design common in all of Viral's maps that makes climb maps boring, not the challenge itself. There should be more maps with more than one obvious route to the goal, with deliberate and (or) accidental shortcuts. Impressive eye candy aside, the lack of replayability and run improvisation makes a map boring with a short lifespan. The skill of making maps comes from finding ways to make a map playable for various skill tiers, making a row of difficult and precise jumps is not really as hard as it seems to design.

I will try to keep that in mind as I map on. I find this way of mapping easier with M79-climbing though.

I wasn't serious when i said what you quoted. I even said i was "jk"  but i guess you missed that part. But i agree with smillus' words - I'm working on a more open map with more open layout and shortcuts. It's way different than my current style that smillu criticized :C bult Ill try my best. Tho i wont agree with your opinion about my maps making climb boring. Some of them are quite unique and i dont know how the other, less creative ones would affect climbing in a nwgative way. You have 3k+ maps, so you xcan always vote the one you like, just like some ppl vote my maps, because they find them entertaining.

I'm not on an ego pursuit here, it's not 2005 anymore. I didn't mean to criticize your style directly and didn't mean to say your maps makes climb scene in it's entirety boring. I'm not that deeply involved in the community to know the relationship between the two of you, but Darkcrusade's post felt depressing and I attempted to give him encouraging advice.

[DarkCrusade]

My post was ironic, even though it was so rather subtly. I kind of fooled both of you.

Thanks for the advice anyway! I'm uploading more as we speak.
