Quote: --- Original message by: Scott So are you asking for suggestions? money? or just showing off some screenies. Looks nice either way, I dont see any major changes, but I also havnt played yoyorast in a long while. Well, I’m just showing some screens for now... I’m not against some suggestions and would dream of some financial support to go on working on it for an eventual official port of the map for a futur Halo. I know it’s almost impossible... but you never know :)

Here we go again :) I just wanted to share with you guys some early YoyoV3 shots (like 3 month old, I made some good progress since then). I’m working on it for a little while now (in my spare time)... I wish I could work on it full time but my different activities don’t allow me that... the only way would be Microsoft helping me with some money :) Anyway, in my current situation I’m not sure to finish it, I’m not sure in witch engine it might end if I succeed finishing it... (instalation01, MCC, halo infinite?...) Of course the idea would be to polish the map estheticaly (what you see on the pictures is 100% remodeled) but also to make some big modifications because I learned from my "V2" mistakes... it would be a little more like V1 was but keeping some V2 good ideas and adding some new exciting stuff of course... Time will tell !

Quote: --- Original message by: The Cereal Killer Before my opinion is stated, I'll just make it clear that I've little to no interest in H1 multiplayer, and my interest in modern Halo multiplayer (or any game, for that matter) is still limited. I understand that you're talented at what you've done. That must be true due to the popularity of the map; that said, please understand my opinion without being insulted: it should not be incorporated into (or even associated with) Halo 4; furthermore, I would be disappointed in the developers if they did include it. This is because it was a Halo 1 map, designed for the Halo 1 engine, and it simply does not meet the standards of a 2012-2013 Halo (and never will without major editing, at which point it ceases to be the same map you created) in the area of graphics or mechanics. It is a nice map. It's just not exactly professional quality. And professional quality will never be achieved by any single person on a map, for the simple reason that professional quality maps aren't created by individuals, but rather with very large teams (such as Bungie). This is only a side note, but your original post seethes vanity; I'm sure it's unintentional. May wish to tone that down a bit. I know I'm often guilty of the same and worse, however it is not advised for a public appeal; that is, I only do it to create a persona, not when serious business hits the fan. Edited by The Cereal Killer on Apr 11, 2012 at 10:51 AM I respect your point of view, but can't desagree more. Yes, the map was made for Halo1 and of course it doesn't meet the 2012/13 standards. Now look at what they made with Custom Anniversary : new graphics, new engine but same map shape, same gameplay etc... Tell why wouldn't this woulnd't be possible for Yoyorast Island ? But maybe you think Halo 4 will be very different from Halo 1 ? Well, we'll see, but if there's a CTF and Salyer mode in Halo 4, that's enough to think the map will as enjoyable as it is today. About the "professional quality", well most of time what you say is true, but look at the map around here, there are plenty of them as good and sometimes even better than Halo 1 default's. Don't you think. And Jay, yeh, the thread at waypoint as great success but would need a little "bump" since yesterday :) if anyone wanna help. Thks

Well, thanks for the comments, I gree with you guys when you basically say that a "fan" map has one chance over a million to make it in the final game... but anyway, as Jim Carrey said one day with a big hope on his smiling face : "So, I got a chance !" Also I'm ready to sign anything to make clear I woud leave my work and all the rights to them for free... But the main problem for now is to reach someone at 343... I fixed the links of the 1st post. Also you can follow the thread I made at waypoint : http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_postst70219_Yoyorast-Island-V3-for-Halo-4---343-Team-Are-you-reading.aspx Edited by yoyorast on Apr 11, 2012 at 09:15 AM

Quote: --- Original message by: Jaz Quote: --- Original message by: TM_updates Your map is wacky in the good sense, but I didn't find it to have much in the area of competitive gameplay. That said it's a great race map, and I wish you the best of luck on your quest to getting into Halo 4 :) Yoyorast's prowess is merely hard to get used to. If you play it continuously for a few days, you'll soon discover it has the most extravagant gameplay ever implemented in any game throughout the game industry's history. Yoyorast Island's gameplay is like a foreign food. It's hard to get used to it, but when you do get used to it, it's oh.. so so beautiful. ;) Hey guys, thank you for your support and comments.. And for the congrats for my english lol. (no google translate!) Today I was reading some people here and on other forums where I made the same thread. Well, most of these people didn't knew the map, some tried the map rapidly or dowloaded it after reading the thread and then say things like : "well it seems fun but nothing special..." I understand them and that is the problem... The problem is that people that only see videos of the map or try it alone (making one warthog lap for example) have great chance to see it as a big them Park, a wired piece of design or a good place to have stunt time... If they don't play with it for a bit in a full server, they won't be able to experience the deep gameplay it has to offer... And not only in race. They won't be able to feel the even better gamplay when you team work with friends. I mean I thought the entire gamedesign for weeks before starting to model anything... Anyway, there already very few chance 343 reads the thread, very few chance they say : let's implement Yoyorast Island, and even less chances when you consider the problem I just described. So when I saw your comment JAZ, I was like wow, at last someone that feels what I wanted people to feel abd that say it ! I could have explained things better. Thanks again man.

Yoyorast Island V3 for Halo 4 ? Apr 1, 2012 01:46 PM
(Total replies: 60)
Hi guys, it's been a long time I didn't post here, I was away lol.. here is a copy of a post I wrote in 343 industries forum Here Just to see what you guys think about the idea. This post is destinated to 343 INDUSTRIES or to Microsft if someone's reading. Hi, my name is Yohan, I'm a 37 years old french halo fan. Sorry, my english is far from being perfect, I just hope you understand what i'm writing. I am known in the Halo CE community as "Yoyorast", creator of the famous maps Yoyorast Island and Yoyorast Island V2 for Halo Custom edition. These past month, I've been reworking the map model once again to improve even more the gameplay experience and to correct some mistakes I made with YoyoV2 (V2 was too complex in the end). But there are too few players in Custom Edition now sadly, so I've decided to stop the development of YoyoV3. Too much effort and time for a too small audience. I've been playing with forge a little bit but it's too limited. So my last chance is to come to you guys at 343 INDUSTRIES and ask you what you'd think about integrating my map in Halo4. I know It may be a little bit late now cause Halo4 must be in its final stage of development I guess. But there may be a chance for a map pack or something. I also know there are very few chances that you guys may accept to integrate any work coming from outside. But who knows. It is worth a try. First important thing, I am ready to give you my work for free. I'm doing that by passion... and for the glory of course :) The only thing I'd like would be to be credited and also be allowed to explain to your team how things should work in the map (population, spawning points, gates, teleporters, vehicles, gametypes etc...) to garanty the best gameplay experience. Of course, the model I would send you should be retouched by your team to be adapted to Halo4 engine. If you don't know Yoyorast Island, I have to say it is one of the rare last custom maps still played in Custom Edition, even after 7 years. Today it is the 4th most downloaded map of all time at halomaps.org with 180799 downloads. Also, you can ask around in the community, the top 3 maps are not bad but mostly downloaded for their impressive custom vehicles and for stunt games. My opinion is that Yoyorast Island is the 1st downloaded map (over 2106 custom maps) for its gamedesign quality, for the fun, strategical and unique gameplay it has to offer. The map is perfectly balanced and was created for Race and CTF mostly, but also very fun in Slayer or KOTH. V1 had some spawn killing issues and other little problems, I've been fixing all these problems in V2, thanks to years and years of testing, myself and the community. V2 is not out of issues but there too, I've tested the map for so long time that I know exactly what to modify and simplify for an eventual V3 (most of the work is already done on the max model). The map is very famous and liked (sometimes loved) inside the community and on the web. There have been tons of threads on tons of forums about the map with very good comments. I can't say how many times I've been reading in forums : "this is the best map ever, bungie should include it as default map in their next Halo." Just type Yoyorast in google, you'll find 21500 results, 1500 videos on youtube, 380 on xfire... Also, there's like 40 different "non official" moded version of the map made by "fans". If you look for it on the web, you'll find a version of the map for HaloMac, for Halo Combat Evolved PC, for XBOX, for Halo2Vista... I mean, it's a pretty big phenomen I guess given the small world Custom Edition has always been. Anyway, the best way to see the map's quality is to play with it, you'll find YoyoV1 here : http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=1144 and YoyoV2 there : http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4957 Pictures of YoyoV2 : http://www.gamebanana.com/haloce/maps/117365 YoyoV2 videos : Yoyorast Island V2 Promo YoyoV2 Right here Right now Yoyorast Island V2 Bigger, Singular, Evolved Yoyorast Island V2 Trailer Yoyorast's Island V2 YoyoV1 videos : What is Yoyorast Island Yoyorast Final Tirbute to Yoyorast Ok, now that you know a bit more about the map, please consider my proposition, it's a very serious one. Once again, I'm not interested in money there, my passion is driving me. If you need anymore information or you want to talk, here is my email : yolevy@me.com With all my consideration.

I saw the end of the tunnel but i want to see more : yoyoV2.1 ? Oct 15, 2009 05:05 AM

What? Stay calm guys, it's just an idea i'm dropping here.. First, let me thank you guys again for your great comments, i'm so happy lots of you are enjoying enjoy da map.. Ok, since the day we released, i cant help myself thinking the baby is not born that perfect.. Let me give you my little list of little improvable stuff that could turn da very good map ;) into the ultimate one : - remove the "beta" word at welcome page. - add one more "panic" teleporter at beach (near the the scorpion place) to give this side of the beach (less frequented) one more little interest + add even more posibility to reach the panic room.. (never usefull enough). - when taking the panic tele to atv base, you land on the roof of it and almost fall in water all the time... You should better land inside the arv base.. - fix the atv problem (when getting out of it) someone was talking about if there's actually one (i didnt experienced it). - 2 things i want to remodel : 1st wouldbe to make the middle garage wall longer, to prevent from too much interaction and fragging when trying to get a hog.. 2nd thing is I noted the way by walking to the flags in ctf is less used than the vehicle way, i think this is because the walk way is a bit too long, i have a simple idea to make it a little shorter : remove the vertical base's glass cages and ladders ( i would add a clean design to replace this but u wouldnt be able to climb anymor to the top tele witch would be removed also.. So in the end, the way by walk would end where the final corrodors before the flags cruz eachother (where there are the blue and red littles) there would be 2 teles there that bring u direct to the base's roofs.. In the end, thos also would mean a bit less polys.. - i also want to make some little modofs the the model at 2 other places.. Surprise ;) - someone told me that the musics where a bit too compressed witch result in a bad quality sound.. Maybe improvable.. K, these are the modifs i'd like to make.. If you guys think of some other little things, just let me know, i'll consider your thoughts.. But dont ask big stuff.. Remember its a little update.. Last thing i wanna add is, im ready to do that but i need to know if inferno and firescythe would be with me on this cause there's some hek work + lightmaps etc... What do you think guys? Is it worth it to have this second version around?

My joy is Soooooooo big ! Guys, it's here afterall, my 4 years map dream finally came to reality. Hope you will enjoy it and make it a big success. it's not a whole new map for those who're used to V1 but it's a big update that keeps the good V1 sides, correct many problems, adds tons of new paths and shape changes, new strategic sturctures + new "panic" Doors and shileds that will spice up the game. And off course I tried to improve the design as much as possible. Also strategic places are now named to help you find your way and become like meeting places. There's so many new stuff... you'll see by yourself what changed since V1. 4 years since I started this update... Dam, I never thought it would have taken so much time... What took so long? Here is the list : - Modeling / remodeling in an innovative way in terms of gameplay and design (like 1 and a half year) + lots of remodelings as shortcuts were found, til some month ago, so remodeling never really stoped + I couldn't help myself adding new ideas and stuff all along the process. - I spent like 4 month + plenty of time after that to remodel the stuff to turn the poly number down and simplificate the design to help removing the big clipping problem, nightmare work ! - Don't remember how much time I spent on texturing and deal with UVW stuff.. it has been another nightmare. - As I don't use HEK stuff, it took much more time to get any final result cause I had to make tons of schemes for my partners to do the work... doing this way makes the development process like 2 or 3 times more important. - Dealing with my partners disponiblity, also sometimes I was with no partners anymore lol, this resulted in big looses of time... this way the project have been sleeping for several month... without speaking of the time we lost almost all the tags... this slowed everything for some time also. - Some big works on my partners side have taken time too, some times things have been done the wrong way and others been redoing and redoing things : ATV, Custom hog Skinning, pinup implementations, musics, Portals (so many guys made and remade them), biped anims, Lights, Scripting off course, etc... - Also, I think the map is so complex that making everything work together have been a real challenge and took time to be made. It has been a special work for a special map... I got like 150 builds from my diferent partners since the start of the project. I let you imagine all the test and fix it requiered... Anyway, I want to deeply thank my last and biggest partner Inferno, he made a wonderfull Job, without his skills and work, the map would still be in "work in progress state" today, that's for sure. Thank you so much man for all you did (see the credits) and most of all for making these dam doors and shileds work with your magic scripts (with some =CE= Chris help sometimes, thanks to you too man); also for making the random teleporters work so fine... these were real challenges and you made them work. Also Deep thank to TheFieryscythe for his work on portals that fixed the clipping problem. It seemed impossible... he never gave up. Also for his work on so many lightmap versions. Special thanks to Polarbear for yoyorast.com creation and Freelancer for his wonderfull moderator job, for having made the 1st yoyoV2 trailer and for hosting the betatest on his server; to all the supporters at yoyorast.com & all over the net; to Masterz1337 for his help on choosing my partners, tech advice, vehicle horn; deep thank to all the betatesters (sorry guys, can’t list everyone); to ShadowSpartan for his support, for recovering the lost tags and protecting the map. Thanks to my beloved Emma for her support during these past 3 years. Thanks to my Family & friends.
