I'm stumped

Post by Anonymous »

I'm currently making a map, and I am stumped on whether to make it a cave deathrun, or like a steam works deathrun type... I have made a little area where it goes from a metal room to a cave corridoor, but I'm not sure if it should stay as a cave, or go into a big area like as if you were outside, and found a little test chamber (refering to the portal 2 ending in reverse) and stuff like that.

Please make suggestions on what I should do about it... I'm baffled.

I believe that making a close range deathrun like 3floors or steamworks would be easier and simpler.
But I still love big opened maps as hot desert :D

Well your choice, you know, me, mappng,.:/

If you create it like steam works it would be perfect ;) ..

You don't have to ask people how to create something.. Just create your own map ;)

I guess you have many ideas and a lot of special traps :)

But, I cant decide on whether to make it a cave or to make it like steam works, because both the idea's are great, and I just... can't decide

I "vote" for Steam_works type of map ;D
I feel like there's not much original/basic type of maps are out recently.
And I don't have a good memory with something_cave..
It tends to be laggy.
Simple is best.

deathrun_cave is made out of lots of displacements, water and steam heat wave making you a big fps loss.

I'd say it sounds like you want to try to make an open area.
I'd say make a copy of the map where you make a wide open area and if you don't like it, you always have the other copy.
No due dates or anything so keep working on it until it's how you want it.
Some people seem focused on releasing as many as possible...

It was just gaz trap making fps drop.
Other than this, I ran the map good.
Also, just for you brah, I'm ready to forget what happened, you know what.
It wasn't completely your fault, so I apologize.
