I presume there are supposed to be images in the post, but there aren't any.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

Well, I tried getting images to work. There are links now.

They look too flat...atleast add Slopes or something.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

Short Circuit has some, I just didn't choose to screenshot them.

I'll be honest, the map looks literally flat, and those maps looks like thokfest maps, try to add more obstacles, more details, and some structures, not squared/cube structures, that would be better.

Edit: And don't use the same texture in some parts, try to use different textures that makes sense.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

Alright, thanks.

Update: "Unknown" in progress

Volcano themed map. Any ideas for a name?

 

[Lliteqiel ꙮ]

"Ring of Fire Zone" sounds really strained and it's probably not the best that I can come up with, but it's a name that makes sense for a lava/volcano-themed level and especially for a roundabout Circuit level, if you're going for that.

I would suggest removing that teleporter segment. Teleporters stop your forward momentum, which make them very annoying in races, especially in Circuit mode.

It's not staying, that's just so I could show the two sections I've done, which are separate.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

And now, more progress on the beginning.

Anymore name ideas?

 

[NeoLucario87]

It still looks more of a Thokfesting map to me.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

Well, I'm still working on it. I haven't added all the obstacles yet.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

More Progress

I've worked on the outside section... and I'm stating to dislike slopes.

Any more ideas for a name for this damn volcano?

 

[sluggard]

It doesn't look like your mapping skills improved alot since your last map, you still having troubles decorating your maps, you seriously need to get inspired by some of the nice looking maps that are on the releases section.

 

[Yoshirocks90]

I'm currently more worried about my lack of ideas for design. I'll worry about decoration when Iadd the rings.

 

[amperbee]

You should worry more about the lack of decoration instead of lack of design ideas.
Decoration often makes a level look better and may or may not gives more ideas, you know.
An empty box is different from a box full of decoration that could act as obstacles.
Who knows, maybe the decoration in the middle of the stage happens to be an obstacle that must be surpassed for the player to continue racing, instead of just the geometry of a level guiding the player for the entirety of it?

I'm not saying that you "start with the decoration before the rings", though.

 

[Boo]

Decoration is just as important as Level design(even tho it is part of it).
You may also want to work on decoration after maybe designing each area you make, sometimes it may give you a boost of inspiration on your design.You seem to lack design and decoration, but you shouldn't worry about decoration more than design neither design more than decoration, worry about both of them, everything must be at least balanced.
