This irks me for some reason.

LOL, flying spikes...

Suggestion:
*Shift + Drag allows you to move without grid-snapping.
*[ and ] change the size of the grid.

I'd say you have a reason to be irked by that. Also, by 'little alcoves' do you mean the Gemini Cell things on the way to the E-Tank?
goddamnit now I have to edit that and rerelease it

[lol]

I sawwy.  

It was just a suggestion, but yes.

Damn good map Shade!

I like how one of my favorite CommandyCam songs was used.

[Shade Guy]

Heh, I've been meaning to put Spanish Robot Pirate Frenzy or Eusine's Theme in one of my maps. Maybe the next map could be on a pirate ship?

[Blaze Yeager]

Do it. I DARE YA!

But Spanish Pirate Robo Frenzy would be Lulzy to have

One thing that I've been thinking about...I'm pretty sure that if I used some transfer heights sectors I would be able to make it so that when the raise/lower platforms sink into the water, the weapons/items on them would disappear under the water too. Do people think I should try to pursue this?

[lol]

I suggest you try doing that.

I tried this. It works well, but I cancelled the map I did it on because the map was going to end up way more complex than I expected (for other reasons *coughlinedefspamcough*).

My suggestion: DO IT.

[Shade Guy]

Okay, I think the Transfer Height thing has failed for the moment...So live with how it is now.

Just a quick update of Drain Fortress. Now it has coding such as 'x fell too far' and some other minor graphical tweaks. Also, the middle room has been edited a bit to be more user-friendly.

[Hallan Parva]

Eusine's theme? HELL YEAH. DO IT.

Oh, I'm DLing the maps by the way, will give feedback in a bit.

[Shade Guy]

Update time once again! This time to Frozen Fantasy.

Weapon layout has been altered a bit...And boss music! Picked fresh out of Mega Man 9000's corpse. I was constantly pestered by certain people wholeheartedly encouraged to use this track. And if you look at the Pk3 through Slade or Slumped, you might find two extra pieces of music...

I took some time to review your map shade, and this is just the stuff I could gather from about 30 minutes of running around in offline mode.
First off, I actually thought this was an AMP map right off the bat. The music seems pleasant, and the attention to detail is solid all throughout the map. Also, just like any AMP map, the weapon/item placement and general layout seem a bit off. To begin with, I kinda felt like the concept made it so that some parts of the whole layout felt like inconvenient dead ends. This is seen in the crash bomb spot, where it's simply a path that leads to an eddie, which I could acquire with an item-1 anyways. I feel that the sinking section gimmick is properly executed in the section with Slash claw, since that weapon can be quite tough in small corridors. Then again, I could heal my way out of death.
That's the one thing I REALLY REALLY don't like about this stage. The amount of health in this stage is almost the same as the amount of weapon energy in this stage. That's a big no-no for deathmatch and duel. It makes killing someone unnecessarily longer and could drag a match on for quite a while in duel mode. Also, some of the health placement is silly at times. Here's my best example.

60 health from small capsules vs 30 health from a big capsule you have to WAIT to get. Which option seems more convenient?

In any case, the weapon placement doesn't seem too solid either. While slash claw is rightfully placed, it's a lot more convenient to acquire power weapons such as crystal eye and ballade cracker, which can deal A LOT of damage in this sort of stage.

Which weapon seems like the better option to you? Sure, it will require an item-1 to get, but just 1. And I can get a crystal eye too in the time it takes to get rolling cutter.

Overall, I'm liking the design of this map, despite the fact it feels inconvenient at times. Fix the weapon placement a little, and remove A LOT of the health. A smoother layout wouldn't hurt either. I haven't reviewed drain fortress because lollevelauthenticationfailed. In any case, here's to a solid map. And possibly a new addition to AMP. maybe?

[Shade Guy]

Okay, progress update just to let everyone know I'm actually doing stuff.

I'm thinking of completely redoing Drain Fortress (with the same layout and stuff though), since it has lines everywhere and it's difficult to edit the map and make it less cramped without messing up the rest of the layout. Expect less pits, a bit more room and a slightly tweaked weapon selection.

I've removed some HP from Frozen Fantasy and slightly tweaked how long it takes for the platforms to raise/lower. I experimented a bit with weapons and item selection too. Boss music should be fixed too, since before it was calling for 'SHABOS2' when it should have been looking for 'SHABOS1'...Damn numbers.

Also, third map should be coming soon. Expect multiple floors!

When I've done all this, I'll most likely make a small PK3 with all 3 maps in it, so that when I host it with friends to look at the maps, they don't have to get 3 separate files. Any objections, lady?

[Shade Guy]

Somewhat contrary to my previous post, here's a new map. Get it. NOW.

Also special thanks to BlueBrawl for helping me with the weapon layout.
