    I am really interested in eventually becoming a guilder. I think the whole concept of it is just awesome, and the whole community here in general is just great. I have three signature maps, and am wondering if anyone from the community wants to check them out and give me some honest opinions if I am good enough, or have the potential to be one of the guilders.

    I'm probably going to get back online here in a minute and will be on for about 2 more hours working and brainstorming something new. Just post in the thread or send me a message if you want to.

    My three maps are OutRun, Migration (similar to TDF's convoy map which blew my mind), and Shake n' bake.

    I had posted Shake n' bake in the racing section. It was our first map and was just a basic racing map, but well done and very balanced. After our little forge team broke off I went solo and created the two, OutRun, and Migration which I have yet to post here. But yeah, I am just looking for somebody who has a good sense of what makes good maps that are fun and last. I am online right now so anyone who wants to check them out just send me a message.

    Yeah I was thinking they probably aren't in to that sort of thing either. I was going to use it just to show my building capabilities. The other two maps definitely show off my creative side. Migration is very similar to TrueDarkFusion's map called convoy. I am just curious of what someone here thinks though. We play my two maps OutRun, and Migration alot. I had a game full of 16 and I told them we were going to try out this other guys map who is similar. About 8 minutes in everybody was extremely frustrated with the map and were ready to go back to mine. I am guessing they both are going to fall into the category of casual though.

    I would be willing to give you my opinion,

    but I will warn you ahead of time that I am one of the only people on this forum who will straight out right to your face tell you exactly what i think of your map.

    some consider this a bad quality of mine, but i consider it something to be proud of.

    give me a shout thru PM if u want the harsh and brutal truth.

    yea dont you need 100 posts to become a guilder. also Until you fill the other requirements your maps are useless 1 would be 100 posts needed. But submit your maps want to see what you have.

    I saw your the "Convoy" map today and it was pretty good. I can tell you'll be a good member because you were not satisfied until it was clean and neat.

    Adios.

    Thanks LS. I decided I am going to use Migration 2 as my debut map here on Forge Hub. The original proved to me that the concept worked well and was very fun. The second one is going to be completely polished from top to bottom. I spent 4 hours tonight, on just the initial area alone so I'm going to be putting alot more work into this little piece. Thanks guys for stopping by though tonight and checking out the maps!

    Please give the links to all these maps so that I myself and others can view your maps. I'd be happy to give you some feedback once you post the links.

    yeah, I would like to see them.

    Post them in the Forge Maps section of the board following these guidelines, so we can all tell you what we think.

    and yes, you will need 100 posts before you can apply for guilder

    Hey guys, I appreciate the interest and feedback. I'm going to wait until I get Migration 2 done, and then I will post it up here on the boards. When I made the first one I was unsure if it was going to be successful, and was alot sloppier than I should have been with the map. I am putting all of my effort into M2 right now and it is turning out to look great and is going to be much more challenging than the first. It also is shaping up to look great as well, so it will be appealing from the outside as well. I got about 30% of this map done last night, and plan on having it done by saturday or sunday, and will put it up for download once I make sure everything is properly balanced and squared away. Thanks!
