SSM map: Coastal Splashes ( Submitted )

Hi, I think this would be a great addition to the variety of maps we have at the moment, but I do want to critique it. First off, the map is way to small for a game of SSM and needs to be a whole lot bigger (maybe 3x the size). It also looks like plastic (best word I can use to describe) and think it can use a little more revamping on the details and touches of stuff. Overall though, its a really good concept and I would love to see a map like this but bigger! Good job! -XMasherniteX

 

I can see many potential problems with this map. First of all, there is a massive gap between the islands which only a few kits can go accross.

In my opinion, within the area the map is, there should be more land than void. Even small maps with lots of places to fall off have more land within the map itself than empty spots, and multiple ways to travel across the map aswell. In this map, most kits can only travel one direction to get from one island to another.

If you want to somewhat salvage this map, I would either add more islands in the empty space and make multiple ways to go from one islands or make a few of the islands larger and merge them so theres not a giant space of void in the middle. Also remove a lot of the water since its gonna cause a lot of world border deaths.


Imo this map looks more like a parkour map than something for ssm

 

Skeleton horse mains will thrive on this map lmao

 

this aint it chief

 

The map lacks : detail , variety , layout , structure
When you are building something , you don't use a single block type , you use a whole palette . An example for the cliffs : Cobblestone and its varieties , stone , andesite , gravel , mossy cobblestone ,gray wool and so on.
For a map with a name such as coastal splashes , there aren't many splashes. The build lacks story and life , imagine an archipelago that was suddenly sent to the sky . There would be a lot of water dripping from the sides everywhere and there would be some fish falling off (just a little detail i think people would like) .
For a coast it has very little sand and coast like stuff.
The build needs more details but i'm not very good at putting words together in English so i can't tell you exactly what to do.
Then again . Good job on making a map , not many people even try to do that. And don't worry ,you will become better over time ,as everyone else did.

 

I really like the concept of this map. However, as the people above me said, it lacks a lot of detail, different blocks, structure, etc. But I like where this is going

 

I would focus on gameplay and map structure before listening to the advice people give for the design. Plus, fixing the map structure could help this map look better anyway.

The design isnt too aesthetically pleasing to look at but its an easy fix on your part by adding more variety and using different blocks. So change gameplay first.

 

YO! THAT IS COOL! But how did you make that so fast without worldedit?

 

this is a perfect map for MAGUMA KYUUBu

 

Omg is perfect! How did you do that ? You definitely have talent. I will wait for the best results from you!

 

Hey! I play SSM A LOT and I like this map, but I also think that there are a couple problems with it.

Good things about the map
-It is a creative design
-I like the theme of the map and the colors you used
-It looks cool!

Problems
-The islands are a little small and there is a lot of void. Maybe you could build bigger islands in the middle part so that there is more room to play.
-Some of the islands look too hard to access. But if you move some of the islands closer together and make them bigger, then that won't be a problem.

If you can fix some of this stuff, then this would be a great map to have on SSM!

good luck on getting it accepted btw
