MM8BDM v5 - What maps do you feel need work? Pt. II

[BiscuitSlash]

Crashman's map could seriously use a rework. Should feel more like a tower a less like a weird bowl.

[Watzup7856]

Crashman is perfect the way it is now. Just rearrange the item layout. Especially the fucking W tank at the very top of the map.  Just move it to a more accessible spot.

[Russel]

I wouldn't say MM2CRA is in need of a full rework, maybe some tweaks for for flow adjustment. I do agree it needs something, but I don't find it as necessary as other maps.

[BiscuitSlash]

It's not so much the layout itself that bothers me. It's more to do with how said layout doesn't go too well with the texture set and sky.

[Superjustinbros]

If anything, Crashman IMO should have more an aesthetic overhaul more than a layout change, since every surface in the map aside form the ceiling is nothing but pipes, and the textures could use some work as well.

[Watzup7856]

I'll agree with having more textures since right now Crashman has the most limiting texture set in core.

[Russel]

What? Do you want us to just abuse the metal around the wily symbol?

Cause aside from that I got nothing.

[Gumballtoid]

Just open the sides of the tower so you can see open sky. It'll take the focus off of the noodle textures and give the player more to look at.

[Hallan Parva]

you could have pipes running through the walls/floors at some parts


aside from that I don't have anything either

[MusashiAA]

I like the idea of opening up the sides of the tower or some of the taller walls, so people can actually see the clouds and realize that you're really, really high up (daytime background) almost reaching into space (starry background). How about also making the floor textures on the bottom floor consistent with the rest?

[fortegigasgospel]

I'd also promote if any map, THIS one should probably incorporate the GB textures as well, yea it is still pipes but they have a bit more to them which would allow for more detail. Also mountain background.

[Superjustinbros]

Seconded. Basically the idea (even if you don't use MMII tiles) would be to give the stage a more open feel; kinda like the original MM2 stage. (since even before you reach the "tower" part in the original stages, the non-solid surfaces weren't solid pipe-filled backgrounds.

[Gumballtoid]

I think it might not be a bad idea to make a few custom textures for things like floors, or pillars. After all, maps like MM2AIR saw new textures made to break up the monotony.

[MusashiAA]

In all honesty, when it comes to texture drawing, we've got good enough people that can make new textures that could fit with the original ones. We've also got more texture choices for maps based on earlier MM games thanks to the GB games, which SHOULD BE used if needed/possible. I think MM2AIR uses a GB tile as floor texture?

[Superjustinbros]

Personally, the non-PU MM1 maps (in most cases) and a few of the MM2 maps all suffer from "monotony" in some way, which was why I suggested a while back that the stages could have some life brought into the tiles by making use of recolored MMI/MMII and MMWW textures so the map's texturing could look as detailed as all the other NES games starting from 3.
