About "flow".
jao you seem to misunderstand me. Maybe the "flow" is good, maybe it is "bad". You even mentioned, that it is a part of speedrunning. If you successfully do a part, you "speedrun" that one, so you might have a short feeling for the "flow"?
Different people have a different taste. This map has its own consistent playstyle, so this is one reason why this map is well mapped.
How do you want to know, that people dislike this? Do you have any good examples to compare with? I don't think so, because this map is rather unique. In my opinion, we should allow unique maps, if they are playable. Different unique mapping styles should not hurt our community.
[In my personal opinion we should allow different styles of mapping, even if they might suck. Some people will like it anyways, but i am here as a tester of ddnet, so i know that we shouldn't release something, if it is mostly disliked, rip variations.]
Yes all testers make their tests with a personal impression. But the unique mapping style is not really something you disagree with. Nobody disagreed. So maybe this is not just a personal impression?
I think you still didn't understand the "edgehook" thingy. Some maps have one element repeated again and again. We are used to the "normal" rehook, as it is known from Purple Panic or O Kbeeer Style. Here we have the i don't know "edge rehook", you don't just simply rehook, you do an edgehook. Like a harder version of the thing you do in the other maps.
Imagine we take a map and replace all easy hammerfly parts with hookfly parts. For me this is like an upgrade of a basic mechanic. You can still personally dislike this element, but it is not uncreative. He did not copy big parts.
Some people like the map, some people dislike the map. For me it seems like you made the decision about the release based on your impression of the map. You did not assume, that somebody might like it. Did you try to analyze it? How do you explain, that Miltee likes the map? Did you think about this or did you only try to decline the map? We have Miltee, Rico, RayB. and me, who are for the release of this map. For me this is close to the release. I don't really want to argue further about this map, because it does not really help. I think right now, if we count the "votes" within this topic, it is a "yes" to a release? Can we get happy with that?
I am not sure about the design, it is a bit dark and hard to see a contrast, since everything is brown. Maybe you should make the unhookables more bright.
corneum i remember that you didn't want this edgehook to be cheated, did you? (you can still just hook and jump above, this part is a bit easy compared to the pervious one)
