Size matters

by Donald Massey · in General Game Discussion · 07/03/2004 (9:53 pm) · 8 replies

Most of the new maps are pretty big, this means if only 2 or 3 people are playing they rarely meet which is only half as much fun as when battling it out and having to change direction.
Could we have some smaller maps maybe.

Sounds like a plan for me.... a level similar to the size of Haunted Grove (with the tree in the middle) or Starlight. Even when 2 or 3 players are there, you have to meet up with them one way or another. I'm still waiting to see 8 - 10 players in the Egyptian Builders level I've done.

Thanks for planting the idea into my head. :-)

Yeah Donald,

I totally agree. These maps are way too big. I have lost some interest in Orbz because some maps are impossible to complete in 3 minutes, or four. We should try and make smaller maps, cuz it gets frustrating. Well got to go

Hey Degrees back! Hi! Yeah i have a knack for creating somewhat large maps. Mysterious Lake is average size though IMO.

Then, on the other hand, I find a majority of the maps are too small for 6+ players. Its not as fun tripping over stars. At that point, it turns into a guessing game.

Just my 2c.
