I was hoping to toss up a thread a few days ago, but was bitten by the 3 day rule. I did manage to add a thread to the map design threads for Inundation and received one or two pieces of feedback.

I finished up a map last night called Dissolution. My goals for my first map, Inundation, was to create a claustrophobic feeling with a watch-your-back type feeling. Dissolution is much more open and still gives you a watch-your-back feeling.

Any and all feedback is good feedback in my eyes. I'm new to the map making scene and would really like to create some interesting maps for the competitive.

Cool stuff. One thing you might want to keep in mind - by putting the high yield on an island, you're probably giving an unfair advantage to terran who can acquire island expansions quite easily and have little trouble defending them for a while.

IMHO, just put a small destructible rock there (like 100HP) and there you go =)

The maps look very nice. My one issue is that the first map looks like it is lacking expansions. That really limits the amount of options players have on the map.

gold expansion should always have higher risks than 'normal' expansions imo
ergo small entrance/islands expansions should be normal ones

as already mentioned only having spawn/natural + gold expos seems a little less

@first map: im not sure how much the vision of these 4 watchtowers really reveal but from the positioning it seems to take away some of the wanted 'claustrophobic feeling'

like the ideas of your maps though, nicely done (:

Maybe a bit too big maps? I think it would be more cool to make it a 2v2v2v2 smth map :o

wow nice, finally some real macro focused maps! very detailed too!

i do however think that dissolution needs more expos, other than that looks good

Looking good there infinite. I can't wait until we can publish our maps and get some real play testing in. I wonder how robust user storefronts will be, hopefully we can track number of dls/times played, and even win/loss stats by race for each map - those kinda things would be really awesome for improving ones maps.

The maps look awesome! As it was said earlier, the gold island expansion should have some destructible rocks to prevent a Terran from lifting a CC to it easily. Besides that, the maps look great, excellent job!

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback everybody!

I modified both maps

Inundation:
- added rocks to the gold expansion to prevent someone from just taking the spot immediately.

Dissolution:
- Replaced the gold expansion to a normal expo and moved the gold outside

Agreed. And yeah, I hope they give us some sort of metrics.

I'm just a fan of demise. Though I did start something a little brighter but it sucked.
