Review emerges!

Played your map many times and I must say this is a different kind of a map which is simply unique in it's own way such as a unique combat style.

First, let's start off with the game's terrain. Well, the Valley of the End's terrain looks good but there could have been something more in the terrain instead of those trees, grass patches, flowing waterfall and etc. You should maybe add a random statues on the rocks at the side of the whole arena or maybe make the terrain more of an advantage to the players. Make some hiding and tactical spots in the terrain where they can hide and ambush other players, it would likely make the game much more interesting in my view. The terrain is flat but nothing much on that because it can ruin the gameplay if the grounds are elevated.

Now, to the gameplay itself. Everything works smoothly even the land and mid air combats. The spells were indeed unique and is useful on battles. The game's not just simply an auto attack type of map but where you should know how to handle your character fast and react to possible action that the enemies might do. This really makes the game pretty unique in my opinion. 5 ninjas to choose from, few but indeed worthwhile to use each of them. Though, just a suggestion. When choosing your hero, it would be suggested if you are automatically select the unit then apply the camera on it's position so you can easily have control of it instead after choosing your character, you would have to waste some time finding your character in the map. The game could also have more stages insteaad of Valley of the End and to also raise up a point, the game could lag and be crowded if there are 12 players in a small stage. You should add more stages varying on stage sizes and etc.

That's all for now. Map approved with a rating of 4/5 (Recommended).

Looks fun and great!

Heinvers · Mar 17, 2014

Yes it does. I'll check the terrain first. After that the game-play

super cool..! I will try it now..

Review
Good:
This is a well-done map, I like the combat style, step on water effect is also cool.

Bad:
BGM is not fitting the game, The environment(arena) is too plain and simple

Suggestion:
Give custom sound effect on each spell cast like battle stadium DON, also use different BGM because the current one is not fitting the gameplay, hope you could make another Hero/shinobi, and make several arena is cool also

TheWhiteWolf · Mar 17, 2014

I would really like to lift this map up to a 5/5 rating, if possible to DC afterwards

I appreciate all suggestions and constructive criticism

Anyway, there is another area of the map (Training Grounds) designed for 5-12 players. The map automatically decides which area will you play in.
I will try to do the thing with the camera

Terrain will also be improved

Will try to work something out for the sound effects, but only if I can find the fitting ones, since I don't wanna spoil anything :/

Once again, thanks for comments, just bring them on

To be honest, this is the only anime map that catches my attention.
Its different from other anime maps that i think, usually, lacks imagination and skills of the creators.
But this map is pretty dope, nicely polished.
I agree with above suggestion, the arena is too plain.
Also would be nice if you could add Ai.

TheWhiteWolf · Mar 18, 2014

Guys, how to turn off the game music?

Rheiko · Mar 18, 2014

I suggest you should resize that Shinobi's pic in the description

anyway, nice map :3

Have you tried this?

Sound - Turn off music Immediately/After lading

If it doesnt work, replace the music with blank music instead

I cant touch editor now :vw_sad:

Tried it, doesn't work...
I tried Stop Music Theme, nothing...

I am awaiting a response in the W. E. Help Zone, and the new version is coming as soon as I get the answer

If you could supply me with a blank music file, that would be awesome

Just use the Heroic Victory music and make the volume from 127 to 0

This is an awesome map. Though I haven't played it on multiplayer.
Looks nice, simple and well made.
Everything seems to be working smoothly.

Not easy, but perhaps you could try coding for a simple AI?

And as for the music, I believe Hell_Master already gave you the answer in the other thread. It should work.

Sorry, but that would be too much for me :/
However, I do plan to make a Garena group for this map

Tal'Rarity · Mar 19, 2014

Any chance of the Sound Village/Sound Ninjas?

I only made the Shinbobi from the 5 Great Shinobi nations. I lack:

Models for the Shinobi
Models for the Village
Information about them
Will to make such large updates

So sorry, but no.

Tal'Rarity · Mar 20, 2014

It was worth asking =(

Fun map though.

Heinvers · Mar 20, 2014

Gamepaly:
As said before the walk on water feature is good, nice jump system you made(I assume it's made in vjass), the characters have smooth attacks and the models are well chosen

- - - - - -
Some terrain criticism now: You might wanna hide the map's edges better(at the river part I can literally see bits of the edge), the villages are terrained acceptable. The fog is a tad strong but it's ok. Although the terrain is flat I accept it's aspect. Well done!
- - - - - -
It deserves a 4/5 indeed.

TheWhiteWolf · Mar 20, 2014

Lol it's just 2 GUI triggers for the jump xD

Will try to work on the terrain..

Or, perhaps you could help me out with it? PM/VM me if interested

andreariona · Mar 21, 2014

hi there, awesome map. just want to inform you some credit list of the resources that you use:

- all shinobi model meshes for each village were geomerged and animated by shin-orojin.
- anime trees, animeish tileset (grass and stones) are created by me. (andreariona)
- hokage building is made by (probably) paradise.engineering
