http://n.infunity.com/downloads/NReality6c2.zip You have to work the lasers so that you aren't sitting there most of the time. There are a variety of different AGD runs, but some are a little faster than others. This is a ded to joe1284 for getting lots of fast AGD runs on my maps, but in particular for getting the fastest AGD on this map: http://numa.notdot.net/map/117897 |

well well well,
what program do you use to create the special background?
2008-04-04
neat idea
I was waiting for someone to do a 3D looking level and you really did a good job with that. As for the level itself, I thought it was a little too empty but otherwise fine.

Really cool.
and really enjoyable. 4.5aved, sized if it wasn't already.

Wu-hu-ho!
That's a great concept and the discussion the map is generating is surely clearing some air. Nice work.

It's an okay map.
I'm too lazy to load it into NReality, so I'm basing it off of just N play; 2.5/5. Well done, but kind of ho-hum average. Too much ho-hum average. I'm positive this is only bitesized de to the image.

Main point being
we already know the rating system + top-rated is a joke, so why does it matter?
Do some good for NUMA: disable all your ratings and try not to care about them anymore ;)

TOP RATED IS A JOKE!
Not even the playable maps could last more than a week. ;_;

astheoceansblue,
I completely understand your point and I know there's nothing I can do about it, but I don't think it'll calm down. I don't agree with N-Arts or DDA's taking up the top rated page either, and I think this could turn into the same thing.

slooow agd
I first liked the gameplay, but the more I played, the less I liked it. It's TOO simple.
It's the same thing with the picture: When I looked first I just thought >whoa< but the more I stared at it, the less I liked it.
I generally like pictures like they are in Templex's "Paper Airplanes" and "Bottomless Cave" or in sidke's "Cave 2."
But this is kinda "linear" and gets boring very fast.
3/5

Also, look at the top rated page.
How much do DDAs and Narts dominate? And image maps are overrated?

it's a new thing. People are just getting a-hold of it and it's exciting and fresh; NUMA has been stagnating for a while as most of everything has been done and innovations are repeating.
So obviously there will be a lot of love for image maps at first, obviously. Once they become more common and people really start producing greater examples, the average attention, ratings and fever will die down to a 'reasonable' level.
There's absolutely no need to get your pants all twisted like that, you're just going to make yourself uncomfortable.

Oh my god image maps are overrated.
Yes, I understand it takes skill. Yes, I understand it looks cool and refreshing. Yes, I understand it adds a new element that N never had before. But look at this! Out of the 10 most recent bitesized maps, six of them are image maps. I'm not saying I'm not a fan of image maps, but this is insane! As far as I'm concerned, these might as well be considered poor N-arts. This is a new genre, but that doesn't mean it should be filling up our bitesized page, our top rated page, and even our forums. Aside from a few here and there, the gameplay of these image maps have been very mediocre, and this is not an exception. Okay, we get it. You can put images into maps and make them look cool. Move on.
Sorry for ranting/flaming, but I feel this is getting absurd. I give this map a 3/5.

I love the symmetry.
I also like the image, but prefer to play without. 5aved.
And it's notable in and of itself, imo.
As for the map itself, I found it very average.
The actual space hasn't been used effectively (mostly artistically) enough for such a minimal map, which makes it seem a little sparse and unfinished.
The rotational symmetry design forces repetition, and while the repetition is brief the play feels uninspired for it.
Stationary drones are difficult to pull off, and here they just slow the map down creating a rather stagnant feel. Too much waiting for not much pay-off.
There's more potential with Nreality than just layering images over any old map, and while the image here is very well done it is (imo) a rather shallow and obvious implementation.
I wouldn't bitsize it, but that doesn't mean others shouldn't.

Mekkah:
The image is what makes the map special and distinguishes it from the rest of the action maps. The image adds a new dimension (pun intended) to the map. Of course this wouldn't get a public rating if there was no image; it would be a plain old action map, like the tens of thousands of other action maps out there.

HAHAhahahah

You're so funny kk. What exactly am I whining about here? I gave a rating. He asked me why. Simple as that. I'm not whining about the prospect, just making a statement. Just because I don't kiss ass, or seem, "nice". doesn't mean I don't see good maps. I speak my mind, if your little mediocre map-making and playing ass doesn't like that, you can go boil a fucking egg.
Bitch.
:D :D

And Psychosnail, you don't have to load it without the image to not be biased, but I understand what you're saying.

I don't get
why people are so biased about this map, for or against it, just because it has an image. After I played it with the image (which I liked), I played this map on N (not NReality), and it was still fun, at least for me.
While I don't think it's quite worthy of the bitesize, I think it still deserves a solid 4/5, not because of the image.
Starting with the next imagemap I see, I'm not even going to load it in NReality until I've rated it, or at least played it in the official version of N.
I doubt this map would've been bitesized without the image, and I also doubt that Mekkah would've rated it a 2/5 if there wasn't an image.

Mekkah;
Stop Moaning and Bitching. Quite Frankly, that is all you do and I am fucking tired of it. Could you please just acknowledge that some else had a good map every once in a while? I bitesized this, becuase I felt it worthy, you have a problem with that? You are such a hypocrite, you hate it when people quite fall over to rate your maps and to give them laudations, and yet you spit on alot of other maps. Bah, I say to you, Bah.
2008-03-22
the map
is good, just as a map, I would rate a 3.5 or 4
the image added maybe a .5 for me, because it is creative and makes the map more enjoyable
no i doubt it would be bitesized without the image, but the fact is that the image is bitesized, as in the innovation and execution of it, along with the fact that the map is fun

That's not what I'm talking about
I'm asking for constructive feedback. Everyone keeps saying it's boring. How? Why? I can't make it better unless I know what's wrong with it, right?
2008-03-22
Look at the comments.
The map isn't great at all.
Like how everyone immediately flocks to DDA's.
If you submitted this map without Nreality - just as a regular map, do you think this would be bitesized with a 4.5 avg. rating? (It's a 4 now, but....) Let alone even fully rated?

Why is the gameplay boring?
Seriously, I don't understand.
But whatever, I'll try to do a better map later tonight.

Really boring gameplay.
Average imaging. 2/5
I can already tell people are gonna -WAY- overdo this NReality thing.

Yet
again. Another bitesized image map purely because of the image. The gameplay itself could've been improved. Alot.
2008-03-22
Love it
so much fun :D
2008-03-22
Bitesized
I throught the gameplay was 4/5 and the images was 7/5 so bitesized for anything I want to give more than a 5 to!
2008-03-22
Slightly faster
The image wasn't bad.
