Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.

the concept of this map is cool
i just didn't like how 9 out of 10 times i would die by hitting the mine just above the ninja as soon as i started. not sure if other people had this problem but it got annoying and made me stop playing. also, whats with the reviews lately? when is the next map going to get reviewed?

It is, in fact, the other way around.
I am perfectly happy with my maps, whereas others (I'm not giving names) are the one whose tastes disagree with my maps.
Instead of discouraging me from making any more maps, I tend to shove my contentness down everybody's throats. That is to say, I tell them that my map is perfectly fine and then I tell them to go somewhere else instead of bugging me.

Cool
Hadn't been able to get an okay demo til now. Fun map. Agree that the unfinished feel is a bit off

I played this 5 years ago.
My opinion is unchanged. Okay concept that translates to little replay-ability.

Also,
This > feature_db00 [nmaps.net] project started by script while ago was updated yesterday with hundreds of old featured maps favorited. I take the audacity to promote this here because I think many of you do not know it exists. It's a good database of old featured maps.

Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.

Better than sex. The tileset's amazing, and while gold wouldn't hurt, I don't feel it's necessary for this map.

Some gold wouldn't hurt
I mean, it's cool, but it'd be better with gold. 4

I thought I kept my old one, but I didn't, so I had to make a new one.
Not that it matters.

Pretty hard.
Lovin it though.
I actually like the unfinished areas of tile, it makes it feel more... wierd.

By the way,
that demo is as far as I've gotten so far.

Nicely done,
but the parts of the tileset without all the crags and cracks feel unfinished and bland. Some optional gold would be nice too. 4/5.
