Introducing Feedback for Feedback #F4F

Nagrom_17 · 05-13-2012, 01:58 PM

I've noticed a lot of threads have been starting up offering to review peoples levels and also asking for reviews on their own.

Similar to how people are using #tags to make finding maps easier I propose that any map maker who is wanting to give and receive feedback tag their post with #F4F.

By using this tag players know that if they play and give feedback on your level you will return the favor by playing and giving feedback on one of their levels.

By using this tag people can trade feedback making both peoples levels better in the process.

I have added this tag to my new level "The Replacement" and I look forward to trading feedback with fellow map makers.

That's not such a bad idea. Course it could be abused by people who put the tag there so people will play their map but then won't play the map/maps of whoever played theirs like they're supposed to.

Yes it could be abused, but eventually you will be able to look on a persons profile and see if they have followed through in the past. This tag is mostly for use between map makers and as more map makers get their name established if they regularly abuse #F4F.

Great idea. I guess my only hesitation would be obligating myself to spend a lot of time running through a lot of potentially terrible test chambers, but... give a little, get a little.

good idea.
so people that add this tag I can be an a-hole critic to?

Nagrom_17 · 05-14-2012, 04:17 AM

Well the point is the give constructive criticism. There are so many PTI maps and I don't even know if people play test them at all before publishing. I try and review a lot of maps and many many maps are too dark to even see whats going on, others I get stuck in a side room if I portal the wrong thing and the door closes.

How exactly do you search for a certain tag within the workshop?

Nagrom_17 · 05-15-2012, 05:53 AM

http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/b...mostrecent&p=1
Here is a link to a search for the most recent maps tagged #F4F, using this search you should always be able to find map makers willing to trade feedback.

This F4F is quite good but we need more people to do it. I'm currently working through all the F4Fs I have found on the steam work shop...
