Magic

UPDATE:

Sorry for the delay, we had hoped to release a lot sooner.

We ran into some problems with the sound FX, we are just now getting them in-game. We will be doing some testing over the weekend and hopefully releasing early next week.

We will make an announcement in this thread when we upload.

I was waiting for this avatar to be approved. I had not checked in a while.

Jawa biped, Sandcrawler.vehicle, gogogo.

Does any one have any idea how long it takes for the map to be approved?

While.

Really Depends on whenever Dennis feels like uploading more maps and tags.

He will also only upload the approved files if there is a big pile of em; I'm guessing around 15 or so.

Wow, I didn't realize it would take so long.

Are there any rules against posting a download link to another website that I already have it uploaded too?

If that is allowed, and if everyone would like it, then I can do that untill Dennis gets around to uploading.

How else do you think people get the word around before it's finally approved by Dennis? :3

Okay, here is the link.

Hopefully soon I will be able to also add a download link for halomaps

Ok, so we were hoping for some feedback. Has any one tried the map yet? Any criticism?

Be patient and wait for my gamenight. It's already bad enough that my clients' computers keep blowing up and in turn blows up my server.

What game night, and what does it have to do with our map?

Are you setting up a gamenight that will include this map?

okay so, what is the challenge in this map?
there's no info on-screen to say what your supposed to do, also if your ment to be able to jump from 1 platform to another, they are too far apart for it.
there are some cool looking animations and weapon extract sounds you guys have in it, also some background music would be a very good idea.
maybe something like this?

There is a floating billboard with instructions.

You need at least 2 players. The shot that the weapon fires can throw players around, but does 0% damage to them. so the only way that you can kill eachother is to try to use the wrist device to throw your opponent from the platforms to their death.

As for jumping from platform to platform, it can easily be done using the wrist device. You launch yourself accross by running to the edge of your platform and firing at the ground and jumping. The blast will send you flying to the next platform without damaging you.

I didn't even think about backround music, but that could be a good idea for the next map.

THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK.

I must say, after playing around the map with Link and Sufi(lemarr), the majority of the kill count is contributed by fall deaths alone without any help from the blasters. I seriously recommend that you add a 50cm ladder around the pole. The player will still be unable to get up to the platforms anyway and he is basically just standing there waiting to get shot off by a blast but at least I would be satisfied knowing that i did my best trying not to get a clumsy demise...sigh.

Also, the ready time span for the blasters is way to long. We would already get blasted off the platform before we can fire the gun. Shorten it!

Finally, on behalf of teh Link, We demand cat clawz!

1. We have been noticing the same problem with falling off and will be putting a lot of thought into a solution before making the next map in the series. Any ideas that anyone has for solving this would be appreciated. (I am not promising that we will use all of them, but they will be considered)

2. I COMPLETELY agree with you about the ready animation. It will be WAY shorter next time around.

3. I am not entirely sure what you mean by that last comment. Could you explain?

Also, other than those problems/suggestions, what did you think of the map? Was it fun to play? Is there anything in particular that was good about it that we should make sure to include in the next map? Is there anything else that you hated that we should make sure to change?

I wanna try!

Um, what map is it?

yea, thats pretty hard. Couldnt figure out how to getpast the blue laser thing without losing half my health either.

Not to be rude, but this is really a topic for PMs not our thread. Please don't get our thread off topic.

Thanks.

Oh yea, my bad. I forgot to say about the map which i have downloaded and played for a long while with some friends.

Its awesome. Cant play it for hours (like some other really fun gametypes) but its an awesome mini game.

Thanks, I am glad to know that someone enjoyed it.

It wasn't meant to be played for hours on end, but we hoped it would be a cool minigame that people would at least occasionally play.

We hope that our next one will be better.

If i may suggest too, it should support moar people.

I am pretty sure that most (if not all of our other ideas) will support more players.

Thanks for the suggestion. Feel free to suggest anything you want, we need all the feedback we can get to help us learn and do better in the future.

Here's my opinion. It's hard to jump to the next platform(and succeed) while dodging energy blasts. May I make a suggestion - Man Cannons
