Map Name: Endless Serenity Map Type: Tournament-ish Time Spent Making: About 3-ish hours Map Description: This is my first tournament-ish racetrack so it's not very long. It has spawns for up to 8 people but would best be played with around 1-6 because there are some sharp turns and 8 people might crowd them. Also since it isn't very long it would be a great map to just play while you wait for someone else to get on or as a warm up. This map includes: 1. 2 1/2 banked turns (I think thats what they are called) 2. 2 one way sheild bounces 3. Starting gate 4. An Awesome pond aesthetic!!

This map is how I say it... not really grabbing my attention. I dont want to be rude, but it is a very small racetrack. I realize you said you put 3 hours into it so it has to be good...right? Anyway looks alright, but then again very small and clustered looking. Try to expand it make a V2 or something... I bigger version would be nice
3 hours isn't very long for a race map. I know it's short and i 100 % planned on making a V2 when i posted it i just wanted to try and get some feedback on how to expand it and improve it before i go ahead and make the V2. Maybe you should take a few laps on it just to get the feel and then you could come back and give me some helpful criticism? I don't know, just a thought.
Like Arctic_Assassin said, it really ISN'T grabbing our attention. It's endless, we don't want to play a endless map for hours. In other words ... *BORING*
hahaha your funny. Its not endless it's actually wicked short do you know what serenity means? it means calm, endless serenity means forever calm basically like relaxing chill bro. Next time you feel like commenting rudely atleast play the map first and leave a comment that might help me make a v2 not just unhelpful words. Thanks.
The comment was fair because he did give reasons for his criticism. He did not just say "OMG this is the most fail track i have evar seen in mah life." It is incredibly hard for people to voice their opinions about something without coming off as biased. This track might be fun for you, but everybody has a different opinion. The truth is I also find the track really boring
I dont care if he likes it or not i simple want real feedback unlike his comment and yours (don't mean to be a ****), but neither comment is helpful in anyway you give me zero constructive feedback except it's boring. So how can i improve it i would like real answers or don't bother commenting at all. Thanks.
Well, judging by the overview it reminds me of the Rally mode in Trackmania, which I liked a lot and made many a track similar to this. ..... It's a good little map. Though those walls should be closed off so that drivers know which path to take. The fountain is too large and the first time though I had difficulty getting around it; I thought the windows were instead shield doors and that the fountain was an obstacle. But I really liked that spawning starting gate! However I think it appears 1 second too slow. But the idea itself, I like! People seem to think big tracks with long straights and turns that you can hit at 100% are the 'proper' way to do it, but because the Mongoose hits top speed very quickly, the tracks should be compressed, like yours.
I would like to first off thank you for giving me actual constructive feedback, which i will take into consideration. I'm not sure what you mean by the walls but if you could please elaborate i would be happy to fix that and the pond was something that i just kinda made and thought looked cool but i know i didn't put enough room around it and i plan on doing that for my v2. Also my starting gate is only like 3 seconds long and i feel that any shorter would be way to fast, but that's just my personal preference. I completely agree that tracks should be compressed because sky tracks, well to me anyway, tend to get boring after one or two games on them unless they are really hard or have cool features. Thank you for helpful comment and if you explain what you meant about the walls i will make sure to take everything you said into consideration.
Well in screenshot #5 (reach_11585739_Medium) on the lower-right of the bridge, the wall is not flush with the bridge so if you were to spin out, or take the corner wide, it's easy to get the idea that there is a left AND right path, instead of just the right. Although I do agree with Arctic Hunter that the map could be just a little big bigger.. like take the whole thing and expand it a bit.
