I wanted to do a second review! based on gameplay since last time just judged screenshots

To be honest I was a bit dissapointed with the gameplay of the map, the ravine like terrain, while it is creative and is terraformed very well, is very confusing and its so easy to lose a sense of direction. Also I found like the majority of the time you would see someone on the top of a different area, and it would be very difficult to get across.. I suggest maybe add more ways to ascend/descend between the top areas and the valleys.

I really liked the buildings such as the castle and the huge mine! The build style is very good and it just looks great, but I feel like there aren't enough structures in the map, along with the jungle terrain, doesn't give a huge sense of direction, would have preferred maybe a few more buildings and maybe have some closer to corn? as most seemed to be right at the edge of the map

With chest placement I feel like in some places its good but others not so great, for example some were nicely spread out but in some places there are loads next to each other, so I am unsure on how this will balance

Overall I think Sneeze7 highlighted a main point in which the theme is a bit shaky which isn't helped by the winding confusing terrain, I feel like something should maybe be added to make it a bit clearer where you are on the map, once you get down into the ravines, it all looks so similiar you pretty much have to guess your location. Looks wise I think the map is great but the gameplay isn't really there for me at the moment, I would rate it 6/10 taking looks and gameplay into account

Edit- whew sorry this has turned into an essay... forgot to mention corn, I feel like the rubble at the bottom means its really precarious when you jump down especially with 24 players which could lead to very annoying deaths and the corn is very biased, in some places you get a very easy path to the middle while others you have to do parkour which some people won't be able to do so will just miss out on corn
I get what your coming from! Working on exactly everything you said on my single player world. But it is only to see the difference and will only be shown to friends.

Looks nice. Some nice structures, but it just seems .. no theme .. Like, there's modern tents, medieval/fantasy tower with some sort of ruins/fantasy underground area. The theme doesnt seem very right. (Some more custom trees wouldnt hurt either.;) )

Terraforming looks pretty nice at some places, especially at the ravine there, it seemed quite adventurous. The terraforming around corn looked shaky and a bit oversmoothed.

Also, jungles are annoying as butts to play in. Vines are disgusting to play with, and it's just a bit of a cliche.

Posetives:

- A bit large
- Adventurous Terrain
- Unique Corn(not sure how well it will go gameplay wise)

Negatives:

- Details on terrain are a bit meh
- Ordinary vanilla environment(trees and bushes)
- No particular theme


Sorry for all of this, but I hope this feedback helped in some variation. I just want to get my opinion out there. c:
Great feed back! I'm sorry about the theme part, I was writing a story up myself but never finished :/ If you would like I can add the story to the map, I just need to finish.

Stories dont usually support the visual theme, you need to feel a theme when playing on the map ..

I think the gameplay wasn't the best during the testing because we only had about 10 people playing on a 48 person map. If we could've gotten more people I guarantee the gameplay would have been much better.
