But I can't tolerate people that only post to say "I get so depressed by what people dare call betas these days". He must only be trying to increase his number of posts.
Oh yes i care so much about my posts. Here comes my essay.
Your map is bad. It displays nothing but bad craftsmanship. The mapmaking technique is inefficient, the gameplay is non existent.
My mention of what people dare call beta maps is the following.
Test maps: Yours, maps for learning how to map
Alphas: Focus on gameplay and ideas.
Betas: Near finished maps with a polished look which are released for the discovery of bugs.
You called your map a beta. It's a test. As for your retort of what maps have i released, none. I have not released any maps except for 2 which where requests. I have however had enough experience both mapping and playing to see what's not going to work, i have enough know-how that I am able to help, I have enough experience to dare speak my mind.
I don't feel like explaining it to a know-it-all who thinks he's better than us.
If you ever feel you need help come back, but do so with an open view of us 'bastards' and try to read what we say. We may sound harsh but that's because it seems to be the only way to get it through that thick skull.
To make this post something else than a defense here are some links. Nevermind who wrote them but these are the basics any mapper should at least master. Advanced stuff can only come with experience.
