Why is the easy course a bonus
Make the map 2 courses, cause it is 2 courses...

[seras/roberto]

the map was made with the no tele version as a bonus intentionally

I think you mean "everything" tele

I would say switch the current bonus and the course.
Now it's just plain wrong.

yeah let's make the hard version give less points by making it a bonus

[fishy]

linear jump maps should not exist

Something being harder doesn't mean its gotta be a course. And this is like the best example of a gimmicky/dumb jump/course and that's why it should be a bonus.

The map as it is is how the map maker intended it to be.

[Dr. Heinz]

The map as it is is how the map maker intended it to be.

It's not. I quote:

Currently the linear course is copy pasted to form an easy mode course. Leaning towards making the linear (hard) version as a bonus for the final release. The other option is also to make it as c2, but that would require effectively running the map twice for a single run.

So it's either a bonus or a c2

[scotch]

I can see why there is confusion, there was a discussion outside of that thread about how it should be zoned.

I don't remember the details so maybe panties can clarify.

Regardless, it isn't going to be changed, but feedback is always welcome.

[pants]

Yeah its how I wanted it in the end, had a chat with scotch about it when it was getting added.

The map was designed to be linear for the jumpjam. I then made the easy version as both a learning tool and to give other players something to do if the map is on and they don't want to run a linear map. Making the intended course a bonus felt wrong and that left the only other option being a c1 and c2, which would mean running the same map twice for any run which I felt would be annoying.

linear jump maps should not exist

Why the heck not?

Many speedrun-friendly easy maps can be achieved as linear maps so I don't see why we shouldn't create harder versions of that concept...

[fishy]

because it's annoying and frustrating and stupid and i HATE PDIDEYA AAAAAA AA

[plep]

pdidey is just jurf so it's a special one and shouldn't be taken as a reference for linear jump maps

right?

[tyjle]

linear jump maps should not exist

but they're fun

[fishy]

fun in the way that hotline miami is fun or fun in the way that video games made by sane people are fun
