Flooded Canyon Zone (Summer Version) (WIP)

[SoniKlos]

Hi everyone, I am creating a map called Flooded Canyon Zone (Summer Version). It is in it's early stages so far, only 5 textures. This is a match/tag map and it will be awesome when completed. I need people to test this to get the general feel of it; no multiplayer spawns yet, just a player 1 start. There are a few things here and there, besides springs, there are a lot of them. I know it's bland, I''l add stuff later. I cannot host a server to test this, my internet does not allow port forwarding.
I am sorry if these pics are bad.

Here is the WAD so anyone can test if they want; remember, no multiplayer starts yet, just a player 1 start.

It looks pretty cool actually! :O

 

[SoniKlos]

Thanks :D, I thought it looks like crap xD
Now this is really early in development; it did take around 3 weeks to make.
The only special things I know how to make are water and Normal FOFs.
I was going to try and use a custom Music, but I do not have an ID tag editor.

It really needs texture variation. It's the same texture on each wall and floor. The ceiling shouldn't stay at a consistent height and get higher or lower. Small little caves would look really nice along the edges of the level. Tiny little gardens near pools of water would be a good idea to do.
I'd recommend making the river a pit (to add to the challenge).

This is just a general texturing for the map; it's in it's earliest stages. I have one cave. Gardens near shalow water was my plan. Making the river a pit is a great idea.
Now if there are any ideas you could give me (besides advice or needed fixes) that would be nice.

How about a section where you have to have precise timing?

 

[SoniKlos]

Hmm, what exaclty do you mean?

 

[spam90675]

Like the ones in arid canyon zone where you have to jump at the rocks in the beggining at the right angle to make it.

It's a match and tag map, there shouldn't be difficult platforming sections.

Well, to be honest, that is WAY too damn huge to be a match map.

Well, to be honest, that is WAY too damn huge to be a match map.

It isn't 'WAY too damn huge', but it is indeed a tad too large. It creates slime trails, and it will become harder to find other players. You could try using the resize tool: I tried resizing it to 75% of it's original size, and it seemed to work quite well.

It's a match and tag map, there shouldn't be difficult platforming sections.

Well, it could be handy for defending the SRM, but I agree otherwise.

But yes, it definetly needs more texture variation. I mean, you've got a whole ACZ texture set to use: you might as well take full advantage of it. The music and sky choice don't fit either.
However, I like what I'm seeing there, layout wise.

I like the geography of it, if that makes sense. Perhaps a different choice of sky though, and possibly a little secret here and there. Every little thing helps to make it more interesting :-)

For crying out loud people, This is THE EARLIEST STAGE of the map. I know that I need to change the map a heck of a lot. This is a general idea of the map. Too big? :O Oops. OK, I think I can do that.
The sky is the only one with storm clouds, right? The music is... Bad, yeah.
Changed the music to ACZ2; sky temporarily to ACZ.
Added a few grassy areas, changed the Thok barrier height a bit, added a couple caves, decreased the size of the mpa by 75% (it actually works nicely), Re-added springs, Added small volcanic cave.

I am Scrapping this project, I have already started a solo canyon level. I will post pics of them soon. Admin: Please lock this topic

It does look a little bland, but you've got something. Is the water a death pit? Just wondering.
