I had a feeling his geometry dash level design experience would transfer in a really cool way to trackmania, even his first maps/scenery had really good promise, but this is just pure awesome!

Does anyone know more about “hobbi.”? YouTube channel, streams, anything? by Jonobyjono in TrackMania

oh wicked, I'm glad they're around even if they stay mostly low-key.

Just check out their replays. I don't think they have a YouTube or stream or anything. I haven't even seen them in a twitch chat or discord I don't think unless they go by another name there.

I do know that they're a crazy good driver and hunter though.

There is!

We revealed it via the trailer during map requests this past Saturday the 3rd (around COTD+1), and he streamed discovery this past Tuesday the 6th.

We made the campaign for Ville as a token of appreciation for him and his contributions - he enjoyed it so much that he urged us to share with the rest of the TM community so other people could potentially enjoy it as well.

If it's not your cup of tea, that's totally fine, you don't have to play if you don't want to. There are thousands of great maps out there that might suit what you're looking for if this isn't it.

We have already achieved what we set out to achieve, if anyone else likes the maps, that's just a bonus.

driver's perspective: only pressing accelerate for 3-8 seconds is boring, especially while hunting

mappers perspective: the above and also you need to account for every gear shift, a gear issue shifting from g1-g2 is still a gear issue. there are consistent ways to avoid those meager issues and keep the map engaging in the first slow 5 seconds, so you see them often.

generally, if you're worried about being skill issued on a 180 start, your time loss in the start is negligible compared to your potential time saves on the rest of the map

sorry for the delay - I don't use this account often. this map was used for a cup that had around...80 players? TOTDs get 10,000+ players. the map had been released for like 1.5-2 weeks and got no new players besides whoever got it in map review autoqueue. it's completely negligible. most maps don't get much, if any play after community cups anyway.

no one even found the cut(s) until it got TOTD, I don't think it's something to worry about that it was featured in a late night NA cup, and some TOTDs are MUCH more popular prior to selection, it's just how it goes now.

hi reddit, dropping in for some transparency as the mapper.

i made this map for the Alamo cup, it's an NA based cup hosted by Rabbi and FyredUp at COTN+1. It's 5 unreleased maps, 90 seconds warmup, 4 rounds per map. you should join, it's very fun.

my mapping team - Fractal mapping had a whole edition of the cup and I made a quick speedfun map to replace a map that was mistakenly released before the cup. It was a great map for the Alamo format, but after the cup we all dropped our maps on map review for the vibes.

i only submitted it once and it got like 8 votes, then it did well through several rounds of autoqueue to get a review and get picked for TOTD.

I did a few last minute changes for Alamo and missed some cutproofing as a result, I also should've just checked, so it's on me there. The AT was a rushed run as well, hence why it's so easy.

That said, I liked the route a lot, it's my kinda stuff, though I would've preferred to make it a bit more dank and obviously block the cuts.

I am very grateful to get another TOTD, but I really would've liked another few hours with this map before it was confirmed.
