Yay! We're Reddit!

Damn it you saucy bastard you got me

Hey Mapping Hell. I've done a lot of thinking, and I've decided i just don't connect with this community anymore. Because of this, I'm quitting Mapping Hell. I'm really sorry, and I know this will be a huge shock, but it's what I feel I need to do.

I can't fix a hearth which thinks that I'm responsible for his actions.

Ardelico, barring personal reasons, would you accept him?

I'm going to post them to facebook and imgur, I'll link y'all to the album

Hey guys, I'm back from Europe and I will be available for mapping again! Coley, I bought those macaroons you wanted, do you want me to mail them to you?

I'm apprehensive because I understand that much of the community finds your criticism to be grating. HOWEVER, I believe that admittance to this clan should be based on skill and creativity, not how others perceive you. And as most of us know, you are a fantastic mapper. My vote is yes.

That looks fantastic so far!

Me gusta. I'll join y'all when I get a chance   

Took some time to look at this map. Absolutely gorgeous! Keep up the good work!

You map create? Very well good. Have forum give. Happy.

Hey, QReeves took a look! Good on ya, mate!

Why does this keep happening? Game gets stuck in bottom left corner.

It looks better! Instead of having discrete levels, like a cake made of grass, trying blending the different vertical surfaces together

A bigger gridsize is good for terrain yes. However, it's also important to utilize concave and convex surfaces (get extreme with it!) to make it look good.

I think I'd start from scratch with Arstation. I know that sucks, but it seems very circular to me, and the changes that I think need to be made would be hard to do with just editing the current map.

As far as the ledges go, I would say yes, some should be incorporated into the map. The one disclaimer I have to say is don't make the common mistake of using the clip material to separate an inaccessible part of the map, it's better to make those boundaries natural.

About the grass, I'd have to see where you go with what you have currently.

Finally, I'm afraid to say I don't know of any good Mac Archivers.

Okay, so I usually give lengthy responses, reviewing each map submitted, etc. I'm not as in-depth as Suicizer but I do like to talk.

First off:

Delirium: I noticed your DS_Store files. I used to play Sauer on a Macbook, those were a major pain in the ass. Anyways, you seem to have solved that problem, so I'll talk about other stuff. On Quad, Zoocata noted that this map looks a lot like Dune. It does. However, I'm inclined to not dislike it solely for that. You've created a good layout and use some interesting embellishments that I appreciate. The flow is lacking at parts, with a few dead ends, but it doesn't cripple gameplay.

Arstation: Interesting map. Adding earthen terrain is usually a good decision, and I support its usage here--however I do need to urge the importance of making it varied and natural. I know it's a pain in the butt to manually edit an entire cliff-side, but I think it's the only way to do terrain right. In this map, the terrain was a little too plain to me. The one thing I like about this map is the theme--it's unique, it doesn't really seem derived off of any other map.

Force: Congratulations on making it into the release! I would too if I had any idea how to make a layout. This map is a prime example of a solid deathmatch map. All the necessary pick-ups, flow that supports both regular and rifle-jumping, and a design that's detailed but tidy. It's really a fantastic map, and I can see why it made it into the release.

Overall, I'd say that you are very good at what you do, and I'd challenge you to step outside your boundaries. Of the three maps you've submitted, two were textured and lighted similarly to already-created maps. One thing I really enjoy in the mapmaking process is coming up with a cool theme that I can make a little backstory about, or just picture in my head. I think it's good practice to think about this sort of thing, and it's definitely a good way to step up your creative game.

Okay, after all that chatter, I feel like I owe you an answer to your application. My answer is yes. I haven't seen you much before, but you seem to be a pretty outgoing fellow with a knack for making maps.

Guten Tag! You're the first applicant for Collect Edition! I'll review your application soon. Cheers! 

Yay, fun! 

I skipped all the jumping parts because I'm a little bitch

Vampi tested, Sweet approved!

Count me as active too, brohanathan!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Space! My best friend has spent a lot of time with that, if I tell you his username I'll be he'll be tickled pink that you tried his maps! I have 1 75% off ticket, I should buy Portal 2 :3

I think what held us back last time was *too much* planning. We had a blueprint texture, we considered making it modular, etc. I'd be totally psyched to make a clanmap with y'all. I think we should just get together and start, see where it takes us.

Hey guys, over my Spring Break I'll be vacationing to Paris and London! If y'all live in or near those places and wanna chill, let me know!

Three admins replied to my hello topic! I feel important now!

Everyone is important!

I've pretty much been Minecrafting recently, but yeah, I've done some work on my playable map.

Sup bro

If it has died, none of use would be posting. Shaddap.

No, the game is dead. You won't accept that because you want to be in "the best editing clan in the game", and for that to happen, the game has to be alive, or your title is moot. The game is fucking dead.

Dead clan for a dead game.

Many people are created from this household leather.

That is very interesting, Mr. Spambot. Banned.

Sexy

so contact him and hang out

He's like 40, Zoo is 10
