Description << 500th Map >>

Thanks go out mostly to incluye and yungerkid, for being my best friends here on metanet since so long ago i don't even remember. Thanks also though to koipen, you've been a real inspiration to me these last few months. Not just for the maps that you've made and dedicated to me, but also for commenting and playing through so much of my catalogue. It means a lot.

Thanks also to everybody that plays this map, because I doubt i'll ever have a milestone this large again. My mapping is slowing down, and I can't see myself reaching 1000. That being the case, I really hope you enjoy this.

I've tried to create a race that sums me up as a mapper. Creative flow, original mechanics, and that tileset style that you all complain everybody does these days. I was the one that came up with it, after all.

you stole this from me!!
JUST KIDDING! lol i wish it was mine...absolutely great man

congratulations

This wasn't that good though. The flow is choppy. Sorry, I hate to be that guy.

yay destiny.

500. woo hoo. :)
I'm glad i didn't miss this!!! one word: Wauw... just, Wauw...
unfortunately i'm not good enough to beat it but i've seen some demos and that thwump thing just blew my mind. 5/5 and faved.
Also, A7X 4EVER!!!
I'm glad I didn't miss this one! I haven't visited NUMA for a few months and saw that you had only just subbed this. It was definitely worth the effort of figuring out how to get N working on Ubuntu just to play this and be able to congratulate you properly on this massive achievement! 500 maps of this quality is no mean feat. If I find the time I intend to celebrate my 25th in style as I doubt I'll ever get to 50!

Congrats Destiny!!

This race is nice. It has some interesting flow and the aesthetics are beautiful as usual.

KONGRATS!!!!
the race is awesome, I'm jealous of your use of item edges, I might start copying you B]

Wowie!

Congrats on your 500th map, destiny! Go celebrate!

AGD.

Fantastic map. I loved it.

congratz

great 500th map!!
sorry. Didn't think flow was /that/ hard to find though. This didn't take me too many tries without the demo. Thwump bit was cool. But overall didn't find it super fun, plus a few of the loops were a little clunky. I mean they worked, but just not super smoothly. Also I reckon the map wasn't great enough to hold it''s ground without rockets/gausses/chains/whatever making it more exciting. but anyway. props on 500. You've made some great maps for sure

Hey hey hey

remember TNE? We should do something like that again, but zanier. Just saying...Those were good times.

WOW 500!!!!

how do you make your own maps? :P

Cool.

Happy 500th, Destiny.
...YEEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
but the flow was confusing to find and tricky to pull off once found. But seriously, congrats on 500. What a milestone!

I invite you to keep mapping, you are one of the best here, 500 are too few to you.

Congrats

I have to agree with Atob. Flow was somewhat unpolished. 4/5
I'm not giving up on mapping in any way, it's just a case of I do more things in my spare time these days. Not to mention i'm a guitar teacher too now, which takes up some of my time. I will still put out maps when the mood takes, i'm just not certain how frequently that will be anymore.

thanks!

congratulations on 500! and, i have to contradict atob on this - the flow was more intuitive on this than it is on most of your other races.
A couple of things make me cringe:

First off was the gold patterns: the first one was clunky looking and the second was gathered in two separate pass-throughs, both I dislike.

Second was the trap door mechanism, which I generally dislike even though this is decently done (but still testy).

Third was the flow after the trap door (which I thought at first went another way entirely). I needed your demo to find the flow, which does go against your teachings :P Actually now that I think about it, I'm not a fan of any of the doors on an aesthetical ground, except maybe the trap doors by the thwumps.

Overall I don't know what type of race I like to play, except perhaps the exact opposite of what koipen likes, seeing that he finally 5'd one. ;)

Immense congratulations for reaching 500, and more importantly thanks for making 500 maps for all of us to enjoy <3

congrats!

lovley race quite har though
4.5/5 looks great to!
Race maps wouldn't be race maps without you man. Congrats on 500 ^^

destiny, I love your maps man...you're awesome <3

btw

Gratz on 500th

nice

4/5
Personally, I think you've made better races. That's not to say though, that this was a pretty neat specimen of a race. Good aesthetics, good and innovative flow path, and a nice replay factor. Like koipen, I thought the start to be a little bit temperamental - many a time I screwed up in some way, and I also thought the launchpad section at the top right to be slightly unsightly and... against your teachings... :P But I understand that this was the most practical method of doing things. Nice adrenaline charge, this map had, and overall a pretty damn good play. Congrats on the 500. 4/5
