My first map - Battleground

[Vanderlay]

Hello folks,

I'm currently making a battleground map.
This is my first map ever and I'd like some feedback if possible!


Ice side spawn

Fire side spawn

Mid stairs

Ice side - upstairs

Fire side - upstairs

Right side - Stairs

Left side - Upstairs

Left side - Stairs

Right side - Upstairs

Do this look completely terrible, and if so, what should I do to make it look better?

Thanks in advance!

I'm not a mapper but, make it less squary and the floor +1 is flying freely in the air right now, I would make some kind bridge/wooden floor with pillars and stuff like that.
It looks very empty.

This is the most stupid map I ever comment.

1. Stairs? How they are looking? If it isn't going under, you don't have to use trapdoor.
2. Floor? Is it in air?
3. Statues. Also in air? Without ground?
4. Try to use raw palette, not auto border and terrain palette.
5. The map is square.
6. Lava in air looks terrible.

I would write more, but you know about what I'm talking... I hope.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it and I agree with you. Gonna try make something out of the empty areas and the "floor in air".

Thanks for your honest opinion! I'm a programmer and not a designer, and I totally suck at designing things!
I will take your feedback in consideration and try to improve this map!

Thanks!

Damn, you probably are the first person who thanks for my rude opinion, I am in shock.
Look at my mapping thread, maybe you will get some prompts.

Vanderlay I know that you are not a mapper but this is betond terrible. No offense meant the only people i see that would enjoy playing it would be people who play solely for war.

 

[Vanderlay]

Alright, I made some updates.
I wouldn't say I'm satisfied but I guess its better than before.

As always, any feedback is welcomed!

Also, I'm currently looking for a mapper to join me as a team. Check out: Vanderlay Online needs a mapper

Thanks in advance,
Vanderlay

Auto-border mania. If you're really considering mapping then I suggest you check out the threads of others or the "Quick showoff" thread, find what you like and be inspired by how it looks.
This all looks like random shapes put together in less than 5 minutes. Be prepared to put some time into the map for it to look good.
