Quote from Rubrica on July 19, 2011, 7:00 amDon't worry, that was meant to be harsh. It was more of a test; you were practically inviting people to guess it was you with the final sentence, so I thought I'd rise to the bait.
Still, though, next time you make a video... Perhaps use something other than the HIGHLY visible fraps? Also, some higher quality footage would be better, and, though this is just me being a font snob, please use a different typeface! The one used for chamber signs in game is a variant of Univers, a copy of which can be found in Omnicoder's SignMaker (community-releases/chamber-sign-maker-t2797.html). Also, one last thing, you didn't actually make it obvious that it wasn't a map-pack; I think pretty much everyone here got that impression.
Wow, did not think I'd be giving constructive critique to this guy.
Still, though, you clearly put some effort into this, just.. Try to channel it a little better next time, ok?

Quote from MissStabby on July 19, 2011, 8:15 amactually after knowing your entire plan i think it was/is a pretty good idea.
It's okay to play and judge people's maps or even set up little competitions.Though then please announce that you intend to do so in the first comment or video.
Now you got people confused and scrambled about their maps being decompiled, modified and strung together in map packs.Still if you want to continue it's okay by me, but then please include some credits through the annotions or the description on youtube.
so to conclude:
Mappack = a series of levels strung together and bundled in one download
Review/competition = a series of videos where you review and compete different maps against each other to see who's best.i'm quite okay with the idea though.
and actually credits arent needed "because i want to" or anything, but more like, if players see a fragment and they're like "hey? what is that map, i want to play it!" they can actually find the maps included in the video.

Quote from SpacePineapple on July 19, 2011, 8:30 amYeah, credits make sense, I just thought I'd put them when the map gets reviewed.
Um, I added lazy subtitles at the end, so no one would think it's a map pack. I should still get an opinion if it's a good idea though.
Thank you for the criticism Rubrica. I'm gonna try to implement some of these things. Not all of them obviously, I'm no expert O.oP.S Miss Stabby - You made the best map ever. Without a doubt.
