Creating a map is like creating a website.

It needs to be userfriendly and be useable / playable by the lowest requirement possible to obtain most users.

If a site uses .bmp pictures that are 1-5 mb each and theres 5-10 of them, people will have left before one picture loads. (This is an extreme scenario, just to prove a point). People will mostly not wait more then 3-5 seconds for a website to load before just moving back (I usually don't stay for more then 2, I'm very impatient :D)
Also if the links makes no sense, are even missing or impossible to figure out, people will leave because they just can't be bothered in most cases.

If a map is to big, or requires to much, people will not be bothered playing it. It also have to be userfriendly (understandable by even newbies) to attrach as many people as possible.

DotA being the obvious exception due to the fact that it has the fame it has people are 'Forced' to download it to be able to play it. But then again, even DotA started as version 0.1, as were probably not a very large map back in the days when it was called "Defend of the Ancients" (Good ol' days hehe).

So putting a high requirement on a map would already there scare alot of people away, unfortunately for you if you made a good map that you would like people to play :)

I'm afraid to download it...

reduce lag? Don't make it so there are more than 300 zombies at a time, lul.

Do you have to make your website have such a scary picture, heh.

EDIT:
I'm surprised to say this, but it's actually a pretty fun game. Seems like you put a lot of work into it. The heroes are like 95% all finished, the skills look good, but maybe you can get some custom skills.
The ideas are nice, like how you can call in help from the Humans, Elves, Dwarves, etc.
Lagging is a big issue. Instead of having like 100 weak zombies constantly, you can have like 50 stronger zombies. And for the zombies, don't just change their colors and sizes (but that is good too), change their models, so it doesn't get repetitive.
The terrain could use work. You don't really focus on the terrain at all since you're trying to fight hundreds of zombies coming at you :D but you should still try to make it look nicer.
So final suggestions: get more custom skills, work on the terrain, lower unit amount, edit zombies/models
Good job, :thup:

Click to expand...


Thank you very much :D
I will work on the terrain but the best part that makes the game fun is the amount of zombies hehe...

I updated the game last week with alot of changes...
You should have a look, there are still the same amount of zombies, but i reduced the lag ALOT! by using other people advices and it now works perfectly!

Please tell me more about what you think on the map :D thx

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
