The areas in my map aren't that huge. My 8 intersection map won't take much longer to complete than a regular 3 intersection map. It's just that the vision of my map that I have seems better realized spread out over that many intersections.
Btw, it's not going to be a ROM-hack hard. It's actually going to be an Easy map. It's going to have a ton of fun enchanted loot, and not that many mobs. So don't worry! It's not a hard, long, and big competition. It's going to be a really fun map. Trust me. I've played through the first 3 intersections in Survival a few times, and it seems very easy and fun. You'll love it.

Please let me test your map! Idc if its not done just want to test!
How many maps do you want to betatest? You want to play like 5 maps at once that aren't even finished.. If you want to play more CTM maps then actually read the first page of this thread.. I bet you havn't beat all of those maps but if you have there are still WAY more ctm maps out there to try.
Long map = more time that has to be put in for purposes of aesthetics, naturalization, and balance. Pantheon isn't a fair example, because it had multiple people working on it. Vinyl Fantasy is an example of a wonderfully made, lengthy map series.
If you were to browse the old CTM Central thread, you would find several examples of "lengthy" maps that were very poorly done. That's the sort of thing that should be avoided.
The way Isaac's map will be designed sounds interesting. 2 wools, a resource area, and the path to the next intersection per intersection? That would be 8 intersections, with 2 wool per = 16, with an area for wood, coal, iron, water, gold, diamond, etc per intersection. Is that how you're doing it, Isaac?

I really wanna try your maps!!! I saw the pictures and I got excited!
Also, TINY peek into my favorite area that I have made.
I showed this picture of this area because it doesn't show the main portion of the area, you'll have a blast This is just one little house you'll see on your way.
Please let me test your map! Idc if its not done just want to test!
Sorry, but I'm not letting people test until it's complete. I'd rather have a comprehensive review of the whole thing.
I'd rather have experienced players beta test, but in this case, with my map, I'll let you test. More than experience, I just really need people to subjectively tell me what works and what doesn't with my map, and make their review very in-depth. If you think you can do that then you can certainly beta test.
As for people's questions about how I'm balancing the intersections: I think I may actually scrap the 8 intersections idea. I was going to not have a wool in some areas, but after going over the chart of areas I want to make (yes, I have a physical chart of the intersections that I wrote on paper <_<), I think I only want like 6 intersections. Still a lot of intersekshunz, I know.
Please stop spamming over and over "can I beta test" because it's not going to make anyone want to let you beta test more. D:
EDIT: HOOOOOLY &^*&^! 5 POSTS AT ONE TIME! *dies* 2ND EDIT: Btw, I updated the OP with a new review of Vinyl Fantasy from Hybran. Read his review, it's awesome.

Hey want me to make a video of it or just tell you over the forums? And sorry about that, I have been really excited for map testing recently!
When you release your map want me to make a video of it or just tell you over the forums?
If you could make a video of it, with commentary over it... that would be absolutely fantastic! In fact, that would be a million times better than a written review. If you could make a video of it, it would show me exactly what was wrong with the map when somebody else played it as well as you could give commentary on how you thought each area was as you went through it.
In short, I would love that!
So, confirmed beta testers for my map: SuperMineZ
I know more of you want to be beta testers. So please, if you want to beta test my map when it comes out, just post something like "Me" in reply to this post. And tell me why I should let you be a beta tester. Some of you, like Hyb and kingkaider, I'm gonna let betatest no matter what because I've known them so long and they're awesome. But whoever else wants to beta test, tell me! Most likely I'll let everyone test who wants to, because I'm bad at choosing between people... D:

Do you think I'm telepathically manipulating him in any way? No.
I find it obnoxious still, that you ask for betas of every single map that gets shown here.
I am going to be mature and not say anything to start a fight after this post but it is a game with many perks. My favorite perk about this game is that I get to test awesome maps. This is my opinion but yours may be different.
Also, TINY peek into my favorite area that I have made.

I would love to play it when it comes out. I would review it as is. Don't take it as a beta-test request. I just love the pictures, can't wait for it to come out, and I say "Keep going, and rock on Isaac!"
Edit - Don't feel bad about the 6 intersection thing being a lot. Think about Vetches Inferno Mines. In his dev com ep. 32, he said that with the only time he had, he was working on it, and was up to Intersection 3. That's quite impressive. So don't feel bad. You would only have to do as much as Legendary

Like isaac said.. SAY "ME" and explain why. You havn't done what he said to do.. \\
Me
I like CTM maps
I can do a review (Maybe video i dont know)
Basically same thing as BoneHead

*Cracks Knuckles*
*Thinks "I am never going to beat it, nor will my maps ever live up to it*

That also brings a point.. I havn't seen many screenshots of your map lately. I know you've been working on the RFW and all though. I really like the look of your map and i'm looking forward to it.

The RFW was just a side project that may be included. If you looked back, you said to Spell for more visually apealling areas, and I gave a couple screenshots for my RFW map. But if you insist, I have a new screenshot for you.
And a couple bonus images...
I am SOOO going to add one of these. The sign says Happiness Dispenser. It dispenses BATS! SQUEEEEE!
I will consider. There is a strong possibility, but not guaranteed. Just so you're prepared.
Just so you know it is not complete yet. Although I will consider when I do finish it.

Isaac wouldn't just give it to you. You've been begging for testing for many maps.

Awesome!

I've known Isaac for about a year. I'm pretty sure I know how he usually rolls.
