The Enchanted Clearing (Brutal)

[MaDLeX]

Hello there!

Here is one of my to-do maps I just finished. Designed for two players, and brutal level because of kinda faily parts ^^

Hope you'll enjoy testing the whole map! Don't hesitate to make any suggestion

PS : Merry Christmas Welf

Hey MaDLeX, haven't seen you active in a while.

I don't know if you know this but the testing has changed a lot, and now it's messier and busier, so now, it's not likely that maps such as this would be released.
Back in the good old tee-days, most maps were, with only 2 testers and deen saying "Released."

Hey, tested with dummy ^^ Overall okay map but it is really buggy, and a bit repetitive and unbalanced. Brut 3* I'd say.
+ Make sure to embed all images that aren't included with Teeworlds Vanilla clients, and all extras.
Didn't do a full gameplay test but I looked for bugs:

Unfreeze and shadows is buggy.

The shadows are very buggy, they will confuse tees and cause fails. I suggest make them highly transparent or just remove them.

lol Really? Wow, I would have never believed that someone's leaving could influence that much the map testing process...

Anyway thanks for the feedback, I hope I fixed all the graphics problems ^^

i had a look at it,
imo it is rather brutal 4*, some ideas are nice, but for me it is too faily
grenade might be cheated (too much distance between shields)
the design is rather bad and confusing, everything is dark and everywhere are shadows with a different meaning, you should make it more easier to see what is what (people will use entities if you dont change anything)

there are also some graphic bugs, i will do some screens, when i have more time

edit: talked to some pros, they all said 3 stars, so it should be 3 stars

[Welf]

all are entitie bugs:

I agree with Welf about design. And for me it's more 4* than 3*.

Shotgun can be cheated too, add more shields:

Okay, so here is (I hope) the final version of The Enchanted Clearing. Is every shadow clear enough now?

[aaa]

from what I remember this map was fine, can someone check final version to make sure it's releasable?

[BamBam]

I don't think anybody has even done a full gameplay test...
and who said it was ready???

[aaa]

im pretty sure milk did (full gameplay test), and i also did with lexin and welf some months ago, everything was fine and working.
if you read welf's post he mostly points out design mistakes and entities bugs which might now be fixed, so i don't see any reason to wait longer unless a tester finds new bugs which is why i asked for whoever feels like doing it to take a look at it..
