My Name is CalmAppleSnake and Welcome to my Minecraft Custom Map Review Thread (puh long name)

Here you can post your Custom Map for me to review but before you do that you should read my requirements first. Because there are so many Map Reviewers I try to do something a little bit diffrent ;D :

- My Reviews will be in video form

- They will be aimed at players not the creator

- There will be a german accent (hopefully a not annoying one)

- There will be a sheep

- The video will of course contain footage of the map

- My Map criterias will be: Story, Creativity, Variety, Difficulty and Misc


I think thats about it. Most importantly it's my wish to help players to find a map that suits them because I think that is something that is missing right now. Most reviews are only written so you have no clue what the map looks like and Let's plays will spoiler all the fun (and well... most of the let's plays are imo not watched because of the map more because of the Let's players ^^)

Last but not least my requirements for your map:

Your map should be:


-At least 25 Minutes long but not longer than 140 Minutes

-an Adventure Map or a Puzzle Map (It should have a Story but doesn't need to when your map is that awesome :P)

-should follow a Storyline or at least be more linear than open (Open World Maps with no narrow Storyline and a ton of content are great but sadly don't really fit in my schedule)

-playable without mods (This rule could be ignored if your map is totaly awesome :) )

-not a Survival or Parkour Map (I can't review those (yet))


Attention! Please read!

Sadly I have less time right now so I have to be a little bit more picky on which map I choose and in which order I review them. So don't hold it against me if I don't pick your map! The other thing is that I won't be able to review 5 maps in 5 days because I have a lot less time on my hand. University is smothering me a bit :(

You can review my map! :D It's a puzzle map, but it has a story. The playing time depends on how fast you can do the puzzles, so it depends on the player! link in signature!

Thanks a lot for your reply. Funnily enough I wanted to review your map before. I even played and frapsed it but sadly enough Fraps betrayed me and totaly screwed up with my recording. But now I'm going to do it again :)

Did your map again. Luckily fraps worked this time and I'm working on the script right know. The video could be out tommorow :D


Please post more Maps for me to review. Feedback would be really nice, too.

Hey!

It looks like you do some really good quality reviews. I recently made a minecraft map called Levi's Nightmare. It is an adventure map with a really interesting and dark story.
I'd love to hear your review!

Here is the forum thread-

Ty a lot guys for the interest and your maps :D. Destroy the Diamond Comet should be finished soon (2hours maybe have to improve something a little to make it better). I'll look into Cube Inc and Escape the Facility after that. I'll try to do them both at the same time (Fraps one than the other, write scripts etc). Maybe I can sneak in a third one ^^. I don't know my limits yet. The other maps will follow after that!


But still: Keep 'em comming :)

Hey dude. My map is for two players and it's my first. It's not exactly 45 minutes long, but will be if you take both roads, one at a time. I'd really appreciate it if you tested it. By the way, I subscribed.

I'd love to see your kind of review conducted on my Return to Bloodycross Castle adventure map, here's the link:

http://www.minecraft...dycross-castle/

This map can be taken as a map showing off buildings, directing you around with a story :P. It also has plenty of redstone puzzles and secrets - some of which haven't yet been found! Watch the preview videos in my thread for examples.

Ty a lot Munchalbe901. I'm glad you liked it.


I'm done playing and recording Cube Inc and Escape the Facility. Levi's Nightmare I think I'm half way through. After that I will start writing the scripts. "Sadly" I went out trinking yesterday so everything is a bit delayed. I'll try my best to catch up!

I hope doing 3 at a time will help my release one every day or every two days :D
And again Thank you @all for showing your interest. Keep watching and commenting and If you like my videos subscribe :)

Little update (and bump :P). I'm almost done with Cube Inc., Escape the Facility and Levi's Nightmare. Cube Inc. should be released tommorow. After all three are finished I will begin with the next batch and after that ... well I'm kinda out of maps to review so please:


Post your map here for me to review :D
