Answer 1

I liked the flow, but i have a problem when you start with your face to the right.

Answer 2

I would have liked to do that, but I couldn't figure out how to turn/flip the player origin. :(

Answer 3

Its ok i don't know either.

Answer 4

Mouse Button 4.

Answer 5

Ohh.. thanks!

Answer 6

Cool map! Eager to see what you make next. :>

ps: Superkid pls.

Answer 7

gimme a sec :P

Answer 8

Bringing dash-jumps onto the table eh? :p

Answer 9

yea, would be great when i'd have more then 5% succeed chance there ._.

Answer 10

Use a macro. I can give you the AHK file I use for that if you want.

Answer 11

i need to forfeit right? :P
actually i have no huge problems with it, but here i dont know why its not working. thanks though!

Answer 12

Ohhh I wish AHK existed on Mac ._.

Answer 13

wait, what? no! no! don't use a macro... it's not that hard to dashjump consistantly, just practice. I'm personally 99% consistant with dashjumps..

Answer 14

Its his keyboard setup that makes it hard for him I believe, not sure he wants to have to learn an entire new setup just to dash jump. :P

Answer 15

I feel really really bad with using macros in any game (except MMO's), because it's pretty much cheating. But it's the fact that you have to be frame-perfect with both keystrokes which gets me...

That's an image of the keyboard I'm using - z is jump, control is dash

Answer 16

For me personally I use my left pinky to dash and left middle finger to jump. As you might imagine, coordinating those two fingers of my non-dominant hand to hit the keys on the same frame is incredibly hard and downright random. I'm not too happy about the excuse myself, but that's the current state of affairs.

Answer 17

Yeah, I'm using left ring & left middle for dashing & jumping.

Answer 18

Just 2 things: It would have been cool to see the slopes all the time and u spawn in the air at one checkpoint, thats a bit annoying. Besides that fun map!

Answer 19

Thanks! I'll keep those things in mind for my next map. As for the checkpoint, I thought I once heard somebody say it should be slightly off the ground... turns out I'm actually crazy.

Answer 20

Actually, it's the other way around. People get real frisky when it's off the ground lol.

Answer 21

Doh.. :(

Nice strat at the start by the way, I didn't even consider that.

Answer 22

youre welcome :-)

Answer 23

Neat flow, fun map. Most caveats are mentioned here, so I'll throw in another one: the camera is the default one, I think? You can't see the slopes sometimes, meaning it's tricky to aim for them.

Answer 24

Yeah. I've heard scary things about the camera editor, so I avoided it for my first map. Unfortunately, it caused the vision problem. I'll definitely figure it out for next time.

Answer 25

ooh its really easy. just pull the camera with [shift] through the whole map and your intended route and drag the frame bigger or smaller for different areas. if you have multiple routes it gets a bit trickier, you need to add some camera lines again with [shift]. thats actually all^^

Answer 26

Cool, I didn't realize tracing the route with the camera tool was possible. I really like the concept of multiple routes or strats though, and I'd like to keep designing maps with that in mind. I'll play around with it now that I know it's not so scary though!

Answer 27

i have no experience with multiple routes tbh, you probably need to test some of the other camera settings to get an optimal feeling :-)

Answer 28

If you ever need help with something drop by on the irc. Most of us map-making nerds hang there all the time and can provide help :>

Answer 29

Mainly Kuro though, he's the best out of all of us~

Answer 30

I like it! The any% route is pretty fun.

Answer 31

Just a slightly larger camera would have been great, nice job though, especially for a first try.

Answer 32

You really should have had a camera on this one. Cant see any drops, no idea who you think you are. End room too big also. You missed fog and ambience triggers too. Also might want to put your checkpoints in the ground buddy. Glad new people are getting into mapmaking though!
