I just finished Sea of Cinders; it's a pretty good map!
I've really enjoyed the gray wool. Although I fell into many traps, there are a lot lmao
Just kidding, I loved it!
Glad you enjoyed the map! Gray wool has a more old school style that some people have a hard time with, so it's nice to hear you had fun beating it. Sea of Cinders is probably my most trap heavy map. There's a couple of really mean ones that seem to get most people.
Very stressful, pretty difficult, but still a really good map!
I really enjoyed the playthrough! There have been some improvements since the version you played but I really enjoyed the tense moments in your series.
I'm also happy to say that Sea of Cinders is now on Realms! It's a great place to try out the map with some friends if you haven't played it yet. The download here will still work as it has. All feedback on the map is welcome.
My biggest complaint is that it's very grey. Very, very grey.
Overall, I'd give it a 6/10. It was a fun challenge, but was really bland visually.
Thanks for playing the map, and thanks for your feedback! The overabundance of grey is actually something I plan on changing in the next update. The original intent was to have areas feel more connected by sharing common themes, and to give the map a barren feel, but I have received feedback that it is visually bland after a while. Thanks again for playing!
I've been working on an update for Sea of Cinders and after some thorough testing with RenderXR it is finally complete! I've added on a lot to the final two dungeons of the map, as well as numerous other improvements to loot, balance, and other content.
Hey Lorgon, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the map so far!
You're absolutely right about the lore text, I didn't notice on my monitor since I use a pretty small GUI but I noticed the same issue on a stream the other day and will be fixing it.
I didn't fully understand why the lighting glitches were happening so I'll try out your suggestion to hopefully fix that.
The wool room in Yellow is a bit of a crap-shoot. I've had people complain it was too easy and people like yourself who have complained about it being too difficult. I think some players may be spending a lot of time in the room above it and spawning mobs. I'm going to try to sink the room down more in the next update so that doesn't happen.
I will be doing something about spawns at the monument although I'm not sure which direction I want to go with it.
Are you recording the map for YouTube or just playing it for yourself? Either way I really appreciate the feedback, it's been excellent so far (including feedback on the thread that Render passed on)!
I'm still working on polishing up Nyctophobia for a full release, but in the mean time another jam has come and I have created Sea of Cinders, a retro CTM inspired map!
Lost in a sea of flames, can you survive long enough to complete the 8 objectives on the Victory Monument? Climb volcanos, delve into mines, and explore spider infested caverns in this easy-medium difficulty map.
Hello everyone. I've made another jam map for the nightmare themed jam called Nyctophobia. It's still in beta until I can make sure everything is working properly, but it will release soon. If anyone is interested in testing and providing feedback please let me know!
Here is a picture of the map:
The map's theme is fear of the dark and it is centered around a ruined city with lots to explore, challenging areas, and unique custom mobs.
Thanks for the series! I really enjoyed watching your playthrough, rough as it was at some points (although those parts probably increased my enjoyment, I am a CTM mapmaker after all). I think this was your longest series for one of my maps, and you did a lot of cuts.
It was impressive that you were able to lose your main gear AND backup gear in one death. The hole in the floor worked! Your gear was getting too good anyways.
Just digging 2 blocks into the wall would've given you some space to plan out your escape without being under fire from the root archers but you're right, tunneling isn't too fun
That still wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Those drops in the second area can be really tough. If you had been able tunnel into the wall there you probably would've been ok.

Thanks to RenderXR for helping test the map!
I still plan to release Nyctophobia soon, but I want to redo one of the areas as it didn't turn out how I wanted it.

A lot of people don't even bother saying anything until they post their map, so what you've posted is fine.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share a couple of series of Forest's Heart I thought were good:
TJ's first episode of his 4 episode series on the map:
and War's series on it (a livestream VOD):
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWHK4NrR-VBipyjRHcfQQLQfz97Z5hEIG
Appreciate everyone who's checked out the map so far!

Some people still check! I really like your use of terracotta in the first picture.
