Updated to b6

All jumps connected, still fullbright.

Taking feedback on anything except for the lighting. There is no lighting. Lets not talk about the lighting.

DL in main post updated


I'm updating my list of shoutouts but I have a terrible memory; if you've helped me with the map in any way, shoot me a message so I can add your name to the list.

fun map, fun jumps. didn't notice any spacing or huge glaring issues, should be a classic(tm) once it's finished. i especially loved all the sections that would preview past/next jumps through a window, looked very nice.

i recorded a demo of my first playthrough since version a3 if you want to try and glean anything from that: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZuB846HQiZjzAEQHjHcSdvjY2WCNA2dn/view?usp=sharing

detailed feedback:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• 4 is slightly confusing on your first playthrough since the wallshot is around a corner when you're approaching from the connector. not a big deal but something like an arrow during the detail pass would be nice
• connectors like 6->7 (and 16->17) are a sort of bridge shape over a gap, if they stay like that after detailing then a teleport under them that brings you back to the top could be nice so you don't fall down and have to noob climb back up.
• on 7 the texture thats used as your starting platform as the same one used for the strafe bit after the speedpogo, which is a little confusing when you don't know where to go and think that that's the end. a small thing that a detail pass or lighting could fix.
• 10 one of the glass walls around the sync is missing a playerclip (down and left from the tele dest)
• a bounce indicator on the bonus would be nice, though it's not too hard to guess what works (i found jump off -> crouched to work but idk if that's what you intended)
• 14 you can wallshot to the left (or right) and skip the whole jump, though its probably slower and definitely harder so its not super important
• 15 confused me pretty badly lol. im assuming its just rj -> wallshot -> 2 skips/speedpogos -> hole, but i wasn't sure if you were supposed to wallshot more and kept getting owned by spacing. its possible this is just me being bad at soldier since after practicing the jump a bit it felt fine
• 16 theres nothing stopping people from standing on the last ramp and just rj-ing there and then wallshotting/pogoing to the end, though that's slower and probably harder than intended so its not a hugely important issue to fix
• the tele between 16->17 didnt seem completely seamless to me, though if youre flying through there quickly it wont be very noticable.
• 17 nothing stops you from going to the left of the 3rd skip and just wallshotting there instead of having to strafe right, though that feels more like a strat than cheese
• completely unacceptable gap in the wall in the deadend before jump 18 (2663 2551 8004). disgusting.
• 18 the very end has misalligned clipbrushes above the diagonal trims on the doorframe you land under
• 19 at the very start a tele seems to stick out to the left (from the tele dest) through the glass, though it looks like its probably intentional? doesn't cause any issues regardless it just seems odd
• 19 the decals for 1 and 9 aren't vertically alligned, the 9 is slightly lower
• 19 you can escape and go left of the jurf ramp to land on the blue dev (to the right of the tele destination), though it's a very very minor issue since it doesn't impact gameplay at all
• 20 has a ghost tele above the connector (-8032 -11323 5380)
• the strafe on last seems much easier than the one on 13, which isn't a bad thing its just slightly underwhelming imo. you just turn 1 direction with the same block 5-6 times until the end.
• you said you were updating your list of shoutouts, if that's supposed to be on the map anywhere i couldn't find it

can't wait to see someone good at this class get a beast run on this once it's done

oh man. i love everything about this! i really hope this gets the classic brutalist lopez detail treatment, this will be a BANGER!

The final undetailed version is ready, I could go on tweaking little things forever but it's already been long enough. Unless there is something major that needs to be changed, I'm declaring the map closed for feedback.

I didn't keep a changelog, so all that can really be said is it changed in some places and is great because of it.

All that's left is for the map to be detailed, which Spoc13 is graciously taking care of.
