Novice 1* map for real beginners
i don't plan to change the length (a short map should be fine for beginners) and i don't plan to add 'entities off' signs (beginners don't play with entities)
map is also there for getting speedrunned (ofcourse the focus should be on the gameplay for real beginners, cuts are intentionally)
edit: map is already uploaded on the test servers

Ran through a couple times, pretty decent for beginners, great speedrun map, and no bugs :D

Map is extremely short and as the whole mod is, also this map is bad for real beginners.
Imo Seasons is way better, same concept, but with more content and better design.

"Hook your mate mate through"

Maybe add a speeder and cut of the first hook:

They can also build a chain and throw others through the map^^
I guess only team rank will be interesting for speedrunners
(i don't want to change this ^^)

I think long, but really easy maps are better for beginners. It gives you a feeling of "I want to get better and finish this" if you don't reach the finish too soon.

I remember playing the first parts of Multimap over and over again and I had a ton of fun, as I got a little further each time. Also thats how you get better: play the same many times until you have the feeling, Ddrace is all about the feeling for the tee. It feels like an adventure. Same with Kobra.

This map should be for real beginners to learn, like 1st time ddrace. If they finish their first map after a short time, they might feel motivated to try another map. If you want to do an adventure map for real beginners, just do it, but that is not what i wanted to make.
I would like to see bugs or a 'ready for release' (or you decline this, what i can't imagine)

Played and tested it by myself few hours ago, and now played with TyxpekCZ....We made it in 9 mins, we had so much fun and this map is good for noobs and for trolls like us. (But almost every second part is doable solo - it doesnt matter cuz it's map for newbies and noone will be able to do it). It might be good map for speedruns, it's short and easy. Still needs final test from official tester. No bugs found.
