Finish that Map! -Results are in!-

[Ivory]

Due to complications in my schedule, I'm going to be changing the due date to end of Tuesday. April 8th.

[Ivory]

Entries are due tomorrow. Smashbro, Mendez, Dood and !o! woohoo are still missing maps. I heard that Mendez and Smashbro are dropping out? Maybe? I dunno. If you are dropping off, either tell me directly via skype or post here.

[Hallan Parva]

Smashbro dropping out? Maybe?

nah man screw that noise


all shall bow down to Specter's might

[Mendez]

Gonna have to drop out of this compo, but good luck to the rest of the competitors! I'm sure you guys are gonna make maps I'll (mostly) want to play on!

[Knux]

Aw hell... I was looking forward to your map. Oh well...

[Ivory]

Well, seeing as no one else turned in a late entry, this competition is closed. Stay tuned for details about the compiled pk3 and testing in the coming day.


... Smash, you have disappointed me.

[Korby]

I'm still betting on him having a surprise emergency yesterday, which is why he didn't finish.

[fortegigasgospel]

No body saw him all day, so something totally came up.

[Ivory]

Hey all you Mega Man fans. Time to go play some new maps! The FTM play sessions are now open!

So about voting. Just go send me a PM. You can vote for two maps. One best map, one runner up pick. Pretty simple??? Best map is worth 2 points, runner up is worth 1 point. Judges (myself, Mess and Celebi) are worth 3 points. So have a blast. I cleaned my inbox just for the occasion.

Oh, and just a reminder. When casting your vote, you are just looking for the best map in general, but also keep in note the point of this competition. What map had the best use of the provided pieces.

Voting ends by Monday at the latest. Could be earlier if I stopped getting votes.

I'ma just rate the maps real quick.

Boost Man - Knux
Very solid map. I enjoy it a lot. The lay out is good and you can see around well. I personally liked the gimmick used, certainly makes it stand out from Dynamo's and Time's. One gripe, the Concrete platforms moving up and them staying in the air forever if the person stays on them.

'How' - JC
Grats, you did it, though even with the decent layout it suffered from being a bit too big due to it.

Primeval Ruins - Rozark
Solid layout, easy to fight on. Love the use of the vines, though I stumbled upon them by mistake, look forward to more uses like this in the future.

FTM04 - Shade Guy
Another good map, though a bit rougher on space imo. The 3D floor use was beautiful. You mentioned you rushed and lost some quality, and I can agree on that.

Dynaman v2 - FGG (my map)
Looking at it now, Slash Claw was a poor choice for a close range weapon due to just how small the map is causing it to be a bit more powerful then I thought, though place holding for Force Field.  Hyper Bomb place holding for Dyna's weapon might be moved depending on how the weapon turns out. Shadow Blade and Gemini Laser were also place holding for Shark Boomerang and Sonic Wave respectivly. Going for the minimalist route I feel I used the supplied parts rather well, though everything added to them was hallways anyway.
Edit: Thank you Ivory for reminding me about Screw Crusher being op as well.

FTM06 - Mystery Conestent
I have no words, I'm sorry.

FTM07 - Woohoo
Well. It wasn't too bad, you are still a newer mapper if I recall correct, so you still have room to improve, I look forward to seeing you do so.

[!o! woohoo]

Thanks for the feedback, but you didn't actually point out any problems with my map in your critique. I would really appreciate it if you could name the issues so I can improve upon it next time I make a map.

I absolutely love the flow and love put into Knux's map. It's a blast to play on, and it embodies what it was meant to represent perfectly. Out of all seven, this one had the most charm to me and as such I voted for it.

JC's map was pretty good, it just didn't really stand out as much as the other ones.

Rozark's map was also pretty good and looked really nice. I just felt some of the other entries flowed more nicely.

Shade's map is a lot of fun to play on and displayed a very innovative way of looking at the central room piece.

FGG, this is honestly a really good map. It flows nicely, and the conveyor room is pretty fun. I can't help but feel like it's missing a piece of the puzzle, though.

While Sword Man and Freeze Man textures have both been done to death, I really liked Mystery Contestant's usage of the two together and found the frozen lava room outright stunning when I first walked into it.

Woohoo's map flows fine, it just feels a little bit...plain? It doesn't really offer much that wowed me, and instead felt a little more like the three pieces with a slight amount of meat filled into them. Under any other circumstance that's not a bad thing, but I felt a little put off by it here.

Smash's map is beautiful and it needs to win 20 oscars right this instant

FGG, this is honestly a really good map. It flows nicely, and the conveyor room is pretty fun. I can't help but feel like it's missing a piece of the puzzle, though.

If you mean the "corner room"/left room it is there, all three pieces are actually still in the same order from each other.
But, cause I like doing stuff like this, and to remove any doubt, I took a screenshot of the auto-map and colored it in to represent the sections.

Red is provided areas playable. Purple is added playable areas. Yellow is added non-accessible areas. Grey is pillars.

[LlamaHombre]

Ah, I was looking for the one on the right. No wonder, as you did something completely different with it.
