Some suggestions, I already told some of them in game, but here goes again:

-Display the text message telling to use ILKJ instead of mouse only to the player trying to use the mouse
-This map could use some music, with the file size being only 150kb, there's plenty of room. Nicely compressed tune looping adds maybe 200-400kb only.
-Camping is pretty lame imo. Maybe make it so that you get send back when you hit a wall?
-Powerups! You walk over them and get some sort of bonus. Usable by the land huggers only, you could make some special ones for the pirates too. Example for the land huggers:
Speed bonus (must have :)),
Disguise (turns the land hugger into a pirate for short amount of time, but he isnt really caught, if the land hugger runs into a pirate while in disguise he gets caught),
Slow speed (negative powerup, slows you down),
Shield (you cant get caught for short amount of time),
Invisibility (you turn invisible, you can still get caught if you run into a pirate)
And so on....

Yeah, those power ups or runes as they will probably be will be in the next version, I think I will add 4 different or something like that.

Thanks for the suggestions and yes I will try to do something to prevent camping, perhaps make regions at the very end so if you walk out there a sea monster comes and attacks you :P

I don't know many pirate like tunes so if you know anywhere where there is a semi short tune then do link me to it!

When is somebody going to host this so I can test and vote?

ragingspeedhorn · 07-19-2007, 01:14 AM

I am almost always able to host when I am online, Jacek and other CBS members that you know should also have the map and be able to host.

Anyways just give me a shout and I'll host for you.

Jaakko · 07-19-2007, 01:22 AM

Alright, I'll try asking tomorrow at Clan Cbs channel.

ragingspeedhorn · 07-19-2007, 01:23 AM

The Pirate tag is a little fun tag ofc, but yea needs a bit improvement.
Heres some suggests:

-Pirate ship sailing around the island (i know sailing whas ur idea) and maybe make it shoot some kind of bombs thats pushing people, so if unlucky u get pushd to a pirate, maybe if u want and can make.

Thats all suggests for now.

ragingspeedhorn · 07-19-2007, 06:08 PM

Thanks for the idea, that bomb shooting thing would be cool, perhaps instead of pushing people it would stun them though.

+rep! Thanks for the feedback :D

O ye, display who caught who. Now it says "Mr.X was caught by pirates", say who was the pirate who caught him.

ragingspeedhorn · 07-19-2007, 06:57 PM

Thanks for the feedback both and the praising words Hereto, much appriciated.

I had actually already thought about doing that Mini, but I forgot about it again, thanks for the suggestion!

Fulla · 07-19-2007, 07:12 PM

Perhaps a few powerups that randomly spawn around the map?

Jaakko · 07-19-2007, 08:43 PM

You must put a pirate song there and a few pirate "Yaarrgh!" yells or something.

Yearight · 07-19-2007, 09:53 PM
