Dull Map, just square room maze, nav is broken so theres no challenge. Big open rooms make easy work of any challenges. but theres also no safe room, so your just wasting time. Some spots are to tight to fit though, no lighting if you use dark mode, so it sorta reminds of doom 3.

I'm guessing this isn't actually a serious map. but some things you should keep in mind.

Liven up the environment.
At least give players on a general direction to go. back tracking is no fun and grows tedious.
Elevation difference would be nice, it doesn't have to be super flat.

but overall, don't download it, its not fun or new.

1/10

Never post your first map. I'm serious. Do you really need feedback or "beta testers" for orange corridors? I think not.

Encouragement helps, I'm no mapper but I think a maze is actually a fun concept. What would be interesting is some way to have sections periodically spin and click into a new position, leading to different parts of the map. That way you'd have a difficult time memorizing your way through. Dunno if thats possible.

repost it please

I didn't mean to sound mean or anything. It's just that in my opinion you should only present a map that is in a presentable state. I think you could have put a lot more effort into this map, judging by the video and other posts in this thread. I would play it, but the link doesn't work anymore.

I understand that we don't have the SDK yet and that people are just experimenting with custom L4D maps. A better way of presenting it would have been a layout of the entire map, some screenshots and a big WIP in the thread title.

dude wat about this, add different parts to the maze, like have a green organic maze then a ice maze etc. that way the players are progressing and not jus the same thing over and over. also dont add a ceiling, that way zombies can come from any direction.

and the stuff teh frogopus said aswell would be wkd.

start off with some rough thumbnails and then start refining them :)

well man, is a nice map, but, you need to edit more your NAV file to more emotion and action!

And...

Add more textures like my map!

It's an orange map so you can get the gameplay right. When it's ugly and the gamplay is good and fun, then is the time to make it beautiful.

Dont spent time on graphics when its not fun to play. And for him to know if it is fun to play we have to test it!

First map or not, it's a good start, keep up the good work.

I don't mean to come off as harsh, but I have feeling your the 1st of many people who post's whatever their little hearts create.

that map took you how long? 20 minutes?

I support the idea of helping you, I'm a script whore and you wanted to learn things, like how to make random walls each round and such, I'd love to help.

but if your gonna map, be prepared for negative remarks.

my first map?

I agree. That's not what my gripe was about. Sorry, I won't rant much more. :) It's just that the first post seems to suggest that this map is "finished", so I'm judging it on that basis.
