Description 250th map, thought i'd bake something extra-special. In other words, if i'm going to redifine a genre, i may as well do it properly. I hope you all enjoy this.

My races are wacky and weird as shit. Sometimes it even makes them bad, but I don't care. They aren't loopy!

agd. fbf'd.

this is perfect. the hidden thwumps were my favorites. the oblong oval in the middle was an odd touch. 5aved.

brillant

dunno if this is your best.

cool map.

i like the false security of it. 4

frankly

i don't think race is dead. And so long as im around, imma keep it that way

frankly,

i don't think the genre can be brought back to life. dda's still stand life and innovation, but not races. ;_;

hmm

redefine a genre?

nah. it's lost. i just sink myself into classic races and cry.

this was interesting though.

yeah...

when i typed that, i didnt mean it literally. I meant it more like my race style, and re-defining that. But... people seemed to want me to meant it literally, so y'know... just went with the flow.

oh wow.

'In other words, if i'm going to redifine a genre, i may as well do it properly.' makes you sound like such an arrogant prick. (even though i am kinda sure you aren't one)

anyway. the map is not bad. I agree with max

Wow...

This is amazing. It redefined my view of race maps AND my view of how to race, check my nreality highscore... But uh, yeah. 5/5 and faved!

ahh

the pick of destiny eh? Pretty funny film :D

I think "4igged" means he rated the map a 4 (obviously), added the map to the "GTM's pick of the day" list in his signature.
in my opinion.
Congrats on 250.

thanks guys

also, what does 4-igged mean

Congratz.

there were a few awkward spots (imo) but there were some really cool elements in there as well. 4aved.

Btw

Nvm..

..what i just said about the flow, i played it again and it actually goes pretty nicely

Nice

Congratulations for your 250th map.

The thing, that gave me a heart-attack, was the chimney from the southeastern corner to the top middle of the map. I simply love chimney jumps.

Still I find some improvement with the flow, not saying it was bad, it was actually pretty good, but it was easily breakable(or then i am just too tired to play anymore)
I'll still give it a solid 4 for a refresh style and flowability. And the tileset looks more like a robot factory than a race.

Because everyone has a different view on what the genre of race really is, but you can go ahead and make some more. This was fun to play, not what I consider an "abstract" race, more of what to me would be a preferred race, but that's just in my eyes. This had some nice flow, nice up-beat tempo.

Good job, but I'd say just continue making races and don't worry about redefining the whole genre...
Impressive 5/5
: D
it was different without trying to hard to be different.

oh,

wouldn't that be nice. i'll work on it. although i really don't think that the genre can have *that* radical of a shift. it's too limited already. i'll try though.
I'll see what I can do...

i actually meant...

other people making genre-redefining races (however you would define them). But you know im always open for collaborations. And that's from anyone - just pm Destiny on the forums ^^

ahehehe...

help...as in...a collab? :) *ahem*
just dish em out, we love your abstract ones and the normal ones.
of a non generic race. Great fun.

nice map

gave it a 5/5. also did you play my new map called Combat Arms?
should i just make abstract races for a few months? Should i just make high-quality race maps in an assortment of flavours? Should i just make them constantly, and dish them out twice a day?

More importantly: Do i get any help?

Cool race

Not redefining, but nice flow ideas. I found a cool alternate flow in the middle section :) 4

Hmm

Improve it fastly = you can do easily
Re-fefine it = going to take a hell of a lot of work.

PLEASE RE-DEFINE IT, THE RACE IS DYING.

Hehe...

I believe you can do it. ^_^

5aved, wonderful race.

This is great.

faved.

WOW

amazing. SO COOL.

yeah, well,

good luck redefining the genre. i personally don't think it's possible. this map was good as usual, and fresh, but i think the genre is almost wasted...and i don't think anything can bring it back.

Improvement

hehe
