Marmot, you know, I appreciate detail and thoroughness in maps, naturalness and realism. And when I see something like this, something like this, or something like this, my desire to play suddenly disappears. It's clear that they're not focusing on quality, but on quantity. Again, what does it mean that "they can't be called easy, and they can't be completed quickly"? If what was implied is what I showed in the last screenshot, then it doesn't excite me either. If the value of a map is measured by the number of zeros after the number of monsters, then this is not a virtue at all, but a creative impotence. Yes, of course, maps of this size and complexity cannot be completed quickly; that's a fact. But playing something like that won't be very interesting. From my own experience, I can say that a map that takes more than 3-4 days to complete already starts to become tiresome, even if it's a good map from the ones that are originally in the game.
I'm not familiar with samatron, so I may not know the true motives behind which he creates all sorts of incomprehensible things like this, this, or at least this. Maybe he wanted to show the endless forests and fields. Or countless hordes of monsters. But, honestly, I'm too lazy to come up with legends that would explain such absurdities. Rather, the simplest and most banal reason lies at the heart of all this: he aimed for something great, but halfway through, he realized that he only had enough strength for something small...
I still don't understand if Avatar-Lion played my maps, although he might be that armchair genius who, looking at the picture, determined: "he aimed for something great, but halfway through, he realized that he only had enough strength for something small..."?
Judging by this: "But playing something like that won't be very interesting," he didn't play. :smile42::D
And this phrase just made me smile :)
"From my own experience, I can say that a map that takes more than 3-4 days to complete already starts to become tiresome" :smile54: If possible, could you provide an example of such a map? Thank you in advance
