Thread of Ariadne

Thread of Ariadne

NOTE: The map has been updated on 28.12.2021 - please download the newest version! The old version has "BETA" in the name, and the new one is simply called "Thread of Ariadne", in case you're not sure.


Thread of Ariadne is a 20-minute long track that covers different styles and surfaces in a level-like structure. The map was built especially for WR-hunting and competitive play, but it also works as a one-time finishing challenge.

The map is approachable for most players - there are some tricky jumps, but all checkpoints are respawnable and in general the map is built to be forgiving.

Thread of Ariadne has 5 levels:

Deserted Trail (Dirt)
Blue Pathways (Road)
Frostbite Pass (Ice)
Lost Village (Plastic)
Apex of Chaos (Mixed)

Segmented versions will be released in January!

Please read the setup guide for better performance on the map! Using OpenPlanet and Tweaker plugin is highly recommended to get rid of the sound bug as well as limit render distance for much better FPS.

I want to thank my amazing scenery team, BigthirstyTM, Ekoveko and Yeffro for joining me on this monster of a project. Overall this was 600h+ of work (maybe more than 700 at this point) and I'm really proud of everyone pushing the map to be as great as it is.

Massive thank you to Tuta for creating a completely custom signpack for the map with 80 fresh signs! We'll be making the pack public shortly.

Additional thank you for helping and/or creating tools that made this map possible to: Goz, Ouhou, Beu, Skye, Miss, Triss, Ealipse, Kem, lgerm, pleb and my entire community who have been supporting me through this whole project. You've kept me motivated to bring this map to where it is today! Thank you to all of you.

A few more tips before playing:

- If you want to play the map on a server, you need to have it in your Maps-folder first because of a custom server script. I recommend also opening the map in local play for the first time. Note that the map cannot be played outside of the custom servers that allow maps larger than 6MB, such as the one on my club (Sbv's Lounge)

- You can leave feedback on my Discord: https://discord.gg/cEzYmrywKX

- The map can take a while to load when you launch it for the first time. Be patient with this!


That's all! Hope you enjoy playing!
