Yo,
My name is Shogun and I'm hopelessly addicted to creating maps.
You can check out videos of my maps on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/ShogunsCustomMaps
And when you're not on my XBL friends list you can keep track of my map making activities on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shogun...s/275384753712
Shogun has one'a them there tweeter accounts now too http://twitter.com/#!/cannibalshogun
Please Read the following before you send me a friend request:
My XBL friends list is constantly full. I make room to let new people in when I can, lately its been about once or twice a month. unless you get really lucky you will not be able to send me a friend request, send me a message on XBL asking me to add you, I will do so when I have room. I get a lot of requests through various places and it's hard to keep track of them all. Requests I get through the forum or YouTube can more easily be forgotten or looked over so Please send me an XBL message if you want to get on my friends list.

CS7 - Mr. Vertigo Swinging Skill Game - Hard
April 2, 2011 For this one I wanted to try out something using the grab feature. Bail out and hold the Y button to grab the trapeze then swing your way to the goal.

CS7 - Very Large Jumps Racing - Hard
April 2, 2011 I wanted to play with some super sized jumps and i went big. It's low on decoration but big on the air. It also has many branching paths and multiple ways to cross the finish line so look for the best line to get the best time.

CS6 - Stairway Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A concept map with a big finish, I'd recommend not watching the video so the ending is a surprise.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8uOT9exQ9M
CS6 - Meat Wagon Racing - Extreme
October 18, 2010 My first extreme track. Pretty hard driving line but a little easter egg will skip most of it and get you a platinum.

CS6 - Car Park Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A quick run through some parking structures.

CS6 - Landslide Down the Stairs - Easy
October 18, 2010 Two rocks start a landslide, fall with them or try to beat the growing wave of debris.
Video: http://youtu.be/2cE0xyW_04A
CS6 - Confined Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A lot of tight fits and a close in camera add to the tension on this map. Not for the claustrophobic.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igrj4ejN4sQ
CS6 - Why the Y Racing - Medium
October 18, 2010 A big trip down. I'd been making a lot of upward moving maps and I wanted to play with big reverse jumps. Those two ideas formed this map, a series of big jumps back and forth across a deep hole will get you from the very top to the very bottom of the available space with a nice big jump for the finale.
Video: http://youtu.be/NC_MqW7xZGs
CS6 - World 8-4 Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A throwback to the old days this map is inspired by the castle levels on the original Super Mario Bros. With that in mind the medal times aren't based on time but # of lives, 0 faults=platinum, 1 fault=gold, 2 faults=silver, 3 faults or more and you've used all your lives. Dodge fireballs, jump piranha plants and even duke it out with a few ghetto Koopas on your way to the final showdown with Bowser.

CS5 - Raist Challenge Racing - Hard
April 27, 2010 This one wasn't for a specific competition but was done based on Raistlin2076's challenge to make a map contained in a 3x3 square, I took a few liberties with the parameters and had fun with it.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQtgynXTly0
CS5 - The Roads Home Racing - Hard
April 27, 2010 Another map with multiple path mayhem. This one also has my first elevator up and nice car jumping explosive ending.

CS5 - The High Climb Racing - Medium
April 27, 2010 Basically a big uphill level in the silhouette style. Had a lot of fun with this one. Also got into doing alternate endings on CS5, this has a fairly easy to find alt ending that skips half or more of the map.

CS4 - Afraid of the Dark Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 This one I was messing with some different types of moving platforms and of course as the title suggests, it's dark.

CS4 - Swivelphace Racing - Medium
Jan. 24, 2010 I made this track with my homie Swivelphace in mind. He usually does poorly on my maps as he tends to just gas it and go as big as possible. With that in mind I tried to make a track that was all speed and big jumps. Slip up and it''ll slow you down, but stick every jump and you'll rock the track times with relative ease.

CS4 - The Operative 3 Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 The third in my Operative series, The Operative 3 begins where Area 42° left off. This map is a continuation of the facility run by the secret SHOGUN Corperation. I'm actually working on some back story for this, I'll be dropping info on Facebook as I develop it. As far as the map goes it has some pretty sweet moments I'd rather you see for yourself so I won't give anything away here.

CS4 - Road Kill Down the Stairs - Easy
Jan. 24, 2010 After playing around with the cars a little I was struck with inspiration. Inspiration that finally brought me back to one of my favorite game modes to design for, down the stairs. If you've played many of my maps you probably already know I take great pleasure in causing your rider great pain and this is one of those tracks where I really get to indulge in that. I don't want to say too much, but like my last down the stairs map Bone Destruction getting a high score is easy, the real fun is in making it all the way to the end of the map.

CS4 - Motor City Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 This one is all about cars. It's also the spiritual successor to Things Fall Apart so another appropriate title could be "Lag City." Lots of physics on display with cars driving, jumping, crashing, exploding and taking you along for the ride. I had a lot of fun making this one. Beware the junkyard, the most challenging section.

CS4 - Mission Control Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 This is the first map I made with the Big Pack DLC. I started just messing with the new tools and objects, when I came upon the rocket propelled missile I had an awesome idea. It was still early in the map but once I built it it was clear it needed to be the end, so I adjusted the rest of the map to fit around arguably my grandest finale yet. Like some other maps in this series I don't want to give too much away, check it out for yourself.
Note: The physics on this map sometimes react a little wonky. If you make it to the final obstacle without faulting the physics almost always do not work properly and send you just a little too far to the right of where you need to be. Sorry about this I tried a while to fix it but nothing seemed to help. I also noticed today the platinum medal is set at 0 faults which with this glitch is basically impossible so I'll fix that as soon as I can.

CS3 - Mole Patrol Racing - Easy
CS3 - Mole Returns Racing - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 I didn't have much of a goal for these two besides a Groundhog type map with multiple tracks within one map. I was hoping to do 3 but I ran out of objects before finishing 2. I feel like the lack of direction shows with a somewhat weak environment, but there are still some cool parts and I had a lot of fun crafting the ending on both maps

CS3 - Imbroglio Racing - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 This one was interesting because I built it backwards. I had an idea for the ending so I built it first, then built the rest of them map from there. I also went crazy with the catwalks, I made a few for Cannibal Complex but I ran out of object space trying to create some elaborate catwalk mazes, so I took this chance to really go wild. The catwalks connect throughout the map, if you could get off your bike and walk around you could walk from start to finish on the catwalks. Oh, and watch your head.

CS3 - Kimberly Racing - Hard
Dec 21, 2009 I've been trying for a while to create obstacles that played kind of like puzzles, this is the closest I've come so far to achieving that. Like Upward Mobility it was kind of hard to check point because it is a very vertical level, but I saw that as part of the challenge, each level of the structure is kind of like it's own level with it's own set of obstacles and challenges within the map as a whole. There's only 1 or 2 parts where I'd really have liked to put another checkpoint but simply couldn't.

CS3 - Stunt Man In Flames - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 So far each map set had 1 skill game so I didn't want to break that trend for CS3. For this one I tried In Flames. This one has two paths and and a finish line that once you find the right line isn't too hard to reach. This may possibly appear in racing form in CS4.

CS3 - Upward Mobility Racing- Hard
Dec 21, 2009 I wanted to try something a little more vertical with this one. Checkpointing a vertical level proved to be rather difficult so there are some challenging stretches between checkpoints. I also had a serious problem with framerate lag when I started adding lights, I did my best to keep it to a minimum but there are a few spots where it slows down a bit and one dark part where it simply wouldn't let me add any lights.

CS1 - Glass Road 1.5 Racing- Easy
Oct. 28, 2009 The driving line is exactly the same as the original Glass Road but I have made a few changes. I'd kept my backgrounds pretty bare because I was concerned building a road out of glass would kill my object limit, so I recently went back in and maxed out my objects adding in details to the environment. The other main change is that I'd gotten a few complaints that the Platinum medal time was unattainable, so I've relaxed that based on the times that have been posted on TrialsHD.net.

CS2 - Shogun 14 Racing- Medium
Oct. 28, 2009 I literally made this map just so that I would have an even 14 maps allowing me to have two distinct groups of maps to share, hence the name Shogun 14 (technically it's not my 14th map). For this one I wanted to mess around with some bigger good flowing jumps. I put some climbing and other obstacles in as well to mix it up and I'm a big fan of alternate paths so there is a part where the path splits in two. I tried to make the jumps flow well while also making them hard enough for it to still be a challenge. Let me know what you think.

CS1 - Things Fall Apart Racing- Medium
Oct. 28, 2009 For this map I just wanted to play around with big structures that blow up or fall apart dynamically. That being said with all the dynamic physics action this map tends to show a lot of frame-rate slow-down, just a warning. This is also my shortest map yet because of all the objects & triggers that went into each structure. You start out on an exploding/collapsing platform, there are two criss-crossing paths and this is my first map with an alternate finish line.

CS2 - Ascension Racing- Hard
Oct. 28, 2009 The racing version of my Hill Climb map Ascent. I made some of the obstacles a little easier and added in check points so everyone would get to see the top which I find pretty fun.

CS2 - Ascent Hill Climb- Hard
Oct. 12, 2009 This one goes out to byers101 who sparked a little inspiration by asking if I had any Hill Climb maps in the works. I had been thinking about doing a map that started way down underground and ended up in the sky which is a perfect concept for a Hill Climb level so once the flame was lit I had to get to work. Kicked this one out pretty quick, but it's actually one of my favorite maps so far (which is funny considering I hate climbing obstacles). It gets pretty crazy towards the the top, but I hope to see some platinums because I spent a lot of time on some of the higher areas. Since it's pretty hard and I want people to see the whole level I'm working on adding in checkpoints and making a racing version.

CS1 - Area 42° Racing- Hard
Oct. 8, 2009 This is a continuation of my last map, Infiltration. Now that you're in you must navigate this secret facility. Unlock all it's hidden mysteries through a little puzzle action and a number of branching paths, but beware; some alternate paths you only get one shot at, then you're forced to take the longer harder route.

CS1 - Great Escape RMX Racing- Medium
Sept. 28, 2009 This is a remix of my first full map Great Escape. I changed around the end, added in some obstacles at some of the really easy points and did a little to address some framerate slow down (although there is still a lot, big multi-tiered explosions will do that). I just realized I didn't update the medal times to reflect the other changes, I'll be sure to take care of that asap.

CS1 - Infiltration Racing- Medium
Sept. 22, 2009 This map is something of a prequel to my map Great Escape. I was chatting with XBL user Doomsdaydev about map building the other day. He was asking for some advice on a map he was building but I misunderstood his question and thought he was looking for an idea to get him started so I said, "Infiltrate a secret facility." Since that wasn't the insight he was looking for I decided I'd use that concept for my next map. As usual I had some big plans that were thwarted by the object limit. You start out dropping from some sort of plane (an idea I got from AkatsukiUK's map Beer Raid) onto a mountain. Make your way down through some decaying caves before coming back up to actually breech the facility grounds. I had some cool ideas for stuff that could happen once you make it into the facility but I ran out of object while building my first room so I feel this map may turn into a trilogy with a new map that takes place in the facility and Great Escape being the conclusion. I also really wish I had the ability to trigger some sound effects along with lights, a siren or two would have been a really nice addition to this map, I added a few in for the video.

CS1 - Sippin' the Sky Racing- Easy
Sept 22, 2009 This is the easy difficulty version of Trippin' the Sky. When I finished that map I couldn't decide on a lighting set-up so I decided to make a few versions at various difficulty levels with the different lighting set-ups I wanted to try. For this one it's day. The obstacles have been altered a little more this time to make the map easy. The track rides pretty fast, if speed and big jumps are your thing I think you'll enjoy this one.

When I finished that map I couldn't decide on a lighting set-up so I decided to make a few versions at various difficulty levels with the different lighting set-ups I wanted to try. For this one it's night. All the obstacles are basically the same, just slightly easier.

CS2 - Trippin' the Sky Racing- Hard
Sept 15, 2009 For this map I had a two goals. I wanted to make a map that took place on rooftops and felt that way so on this map if you fall, you fall far. To that end I'm also a big fan of katamariUK's map City Run but at the same time it kind of bugged me that it starts out on a roof top, but in the map editor it is on the cube layer with the brick surface so that as you go down the sides of buildings, streets and whatnot are all the dirt blocks, so I wanted to see a map with skyscrapers that are using the blocks that look like building walls. I also wanted to work with negative space, I've been having trouble with maxing out my objects so I wanted to build something that took less objects but was still visually interesting. So in this map you get big jumps over big gaps with long falls and of course it wouldn't be a Cannibal Shogun map if things weren't falling apart or exploding as you make your way. This map is part of a series, I also have medium and easy versions that I will be releasing shortly. And to all you frame rate Nazis this map does have a few places were the frame rate slows down a bit. When I was first done with the main layout the entire map was running incredibly slow, over a weekend I probably devoted more hours to trying to fix the frame rate issues than I actually spent building the map. I do this for fun, I don't get paid, I can't spend hours every day trying to get the map running perfectly. I hope you can overlook it and still enjoy the ride.

CS2 - The Mine Racing- Hard
Sept 6, 2009 Choose your path. In this map you navigate an abandoned mining operation, there are multiple paths and the lower you go the easier it is (more or less). I had some grand plans for this one but they had to be heavily watered down when I maxed out my objects way earlier than expected. The idea was that the top path would be hard but fast if you can complete fault free but I ran out of space working on the lower path so the second half of the upper path is easier than I intended and the whole thing is much shorter than I wanted. I also had to delete a lot of my decorative objects just to have a enough space to bring the two paths back together, still looks pretty cool though.

CS2 - Night Shift Racing- Hard
Sept 4, 2009 Okay so I tried making a harder one for you guys this time and I'm going to need a little help. I'm not some sort of Jedi at this game... yet, so I need a little help determining medal times because right now I can't beat it without faulting 10 or 20 times. In this map you start out in a warehouse, make your way up to the roof, do a little building hopping come down and go back up again, less speed and big jumps than my previous maps. I've got a build up now for download but it'll get an update with new medal times and probably a few tweeks after I get some input from the community.

CS1 - Bone Destruction Down the Stairs - Easy
Sept 1, 2009 I saw a request for more skill level maps so I put together this rather brutal playground of pain to toss your poor rag-doll rider into. Getting a top score is easy, but finding all the different ways to do it is where the fun is at.

Glass Road Racing - Easy Aug 30, 2009 The name says it all, just gun it and try to survive as a road made of glass falls apart around you. A few mildly difficult jumps/obstacles but mostly really easy to complete. Alternate paths with a big finish.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYjsR8KfDY
Great Escape Racing - Medium Aug 29, 2009 For this one I imagined escaping from a Bond type villain's complex as it was self destructing at the climax. This is my most challenging level yet and also has my favorite section I've created so far. At one point you have to navigate a scaffolding that is collapsing in front of you amid a huge fire and many explosions. Since this was my first big level I was doing a lot of experimenting so style wise it doesn't always feel consistent but if you like explosions I think you'll enjoy this level. The medal times are a little messed up (platinum is impossible) but it wouldn't save after I tried changing them, apparently that change makes the level too big to save. This map is currently unavailable on XBL, send me a message on XBL if you'd like to get it.

Road to Hell Racing - Beginner Aug 28, 2009 Nothing special here. My first level so I was just messing around with the tools. Navigate a few obstacles then hit a big ramp down that ends in a jump over a line of explosives, can you reach the finish before the explosions get you (usually you can). This map is currently unavailable on XBL, send me a message on XBL if you'd like to get it.

At the request of a number of users I've also started making some video tutorials on map editing. You can see what tutorials I currently have available on my thread in the level editor forum http://www.redlynxgame.com/forum/vie...hp?f=54&t=2205 or just check them out on my YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/ShogunsCustomMaps

Please Read the following before you send me a friend request:
My XBL friends list is constantly full. I make room to let new people in when I can, lately its been about once or twice a month. unless you get really lucky you will not be able to send me a friend request, send me a message on XBL asking me to add you, I will do so when I have room. I get a lot of requests through various places and it's hard to keep track of them all. Requests I get through the forum or YouTube can more easily be forgotten or looked over so Please send me an XBL message if you want to get on my friends list.

CS7 - Mr. Vertigo Swinging Skill Game - Hard
April 2, 2011 For this one I wanted to try out something using the grab feature. Bail out and hold the Y button to grab the trapeze then swing your way to the goal.

CS7 - Very Large Jumps Racing - Hard
April 2, 2011 I wanted to play with some super sized jumps and i went big. It's low on decoration but big on the air. It also has many branching paths and multiple ways to cross the finish line so look for the best line to get the best time.

CS6 - Stairway Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A concept map with a big finish, I'd recommend not watching the video so the ending is a surprise.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8uOT9exQ9M
CS6 - Meat Wagon Racing - Extreme
October 18, 2010 My first extreme track. Pretty hard driving line but a little easter egg will skip most of it and get you a platinum.

CS6 - Car Park Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A quick run through some parking structures.

CS6 - Landslide Down the Stairs - Easy
October 18, 2010 Two rocks start a landslide, fall with them or try to beat the growing wave of debris.

CS6 - Confined Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A lot of tight fits and a close in camera add to the tension on this map. Not for the claustrophobic.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igrj4ejN4sQ
CS6 - Why the Y Racing - Medium
October 18, 2010 A big trip down. I'd been making a lot of upward moving maps and I wanted to play with big reverse jumps. Those two ideas formed this map, a series of big jumps back and forth across a deep hole will get you from the very top to the very bottom of the available space with a nice big jump for the finale.
Video: http://youtu.be/NC_MqW7xZGs
CS6 - World 8-4 Racing - Hard
October 18, 2010 A throwback to the old days this map is inspired by the castle levels on the original Super Mario Bros. With that in mind the medal times aren't based on time but # of lives, 0 faults=platinum, 1 fault=gold, 2 faults=silver, 3 faults or more and you've used all your lives. Dodge fireballs, jump piranha plants and even duke it out with a few ghetto Koopas on your way to the final showdown with Bowser.

CS5 - Raist Challenge Racing - Hard
April 27, 2010 This one wasn't for a specific competition but was done based on Raistlin2076's challenge to make a map contained in a 3x3 square, I took a few liberties with the parameters and had fun with it.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQtgynXTly0
CS5 - The Roads Home Racing - Hard
April 27, 2010 Another map with multiple path mayhem. This one also has my first elevator up and nice car jumping explosive ending.

CS5 - The High Climb Racing - Medium
April 27, 2010 Basically a big uphill level in the silhouette style. Had a lot of fun with this one. Also got into doing alternate endings on CS5, this has a fairly easy to find alt ending that skips half or more of the map.

Jan. 24, 2010 This one I was messing with some different types of moving platforms and of course as the title suggests, it's dark.

CS4 - Swivelphace Racing - Medium
Jan. 24, 2010 I made this track with my homie Swivelphace in mind. He usually does poorly on my maps as he tends to just gas it and go as big as possible. With that in mind I tried to make a track that was all speed and big jumps. Slip up and it''ll slow you down, but stick every jump and you'll rock the track times with relative ease.

CS4 - The Operative 3 Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 The third in my Operative series, The Operative 3 begins where Area 42° left off. This map is a continuation of the facility run by the secret SHOGUN Corperation. I'm actually working on some back story for this, I'll be dropping info on Facebook as I develop it. As far as the map goes it has some pretty sweet moments I'd rather you see for yourself so I won't give anything away here.

CS4 - Road Kill Down the Stairs - Easy
Jan. 24, 2010 After playing around with the cars a little I was struck with inspiration. Inspiration that finally brought me back to one of my favorite game modes to design for, down the stairs. If you've played many of my maps you probably already know I take great pleasure in causing your rider great pain and this is one of those tracks where I really get to indulge in that. I don't want to say too much, but like my last down the stairs map Bone Destruction getting a high score is easy, the real fun is in making it all the way to the end of the map.

CS4 - Motor City Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 This one is all about cars. It's also the spiritual successor to Things Fall Apart so another appropriate title could be "Lag City." Lots of physics on display with cars driving, jumping, crashing, exploding and taking you along for the ride. I had a lot of fun making this one. Beware the junkyard, the most challenging section.

CS4 - Mission Control Racing - Hard
Jan. 24, 2010 This is the first map I made with the Big Pack DLC. I started just messing with the new tools and objects, when I came upon the rocket propelled missile I had an awesome idea. It was still early in the map but once I built it it was clear it needed to be the end, so I adjusted the rest of the map to fit around arguably my grandest finale yet. Like some other maps in this series I don't want to give too much away, check it out for yourself.
Note: The physics on this map sometimes react a little wonky. If you make it to the final obstacle without faulting the physics almost always do not work properly and send you just a little too far to the right of where you need to be. Sorry about this I tried a while to fix it but nothing seemed to help. I also noticed today the platinum medal is set at 0 faults which with this glitch is basically impossible so I'll fix that as soon as I can.

CS3 - Mole Patrol Racing - Easy
CS3 - Mole Returns Racing - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 I didn't have much of a goal for these two besides a Groundhog type map with multiple tracks within one map. I was hoping to do 3 but I ran out of objects before finishing 2. I feel like the lack of direction shows with a somewhat weak environment, but there are still some cool parts and I had a lot of fun crafting the ending on both maps

CS3 - Imbroglio Racing - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 This one was interesting because I built it backwards. I had an idea for the ending so I built it first, then built the rest of them map from there. I also went crazy with the catwalks, I made a few for Cannibal Complex but I ran out of object space trying to create some elaborate catwalk mazes, so I took this chance to really go wild. The catwalks connect throughout the map, if you could get off your bike and walk around you could walk from start to finish on the catwalks. Oh, and watch your head.

CS3 - Kimberly Racing - Hard
Dec 21, 2009 I've been trying for a while to create obstacles that played kind of like puzzles, this is the closest I've come so far to achieving that. Like Upward Mobility it was kind of hard to check point because it is a very vertical level, but I saw that as part of the challenge, each level of the structure is kind of like it's own level with it's own set of obstacles and challenges within the map as a whole. There's only 1 or 2 parts where I'd really have liked to put another checkpoint but simply couldn't.

CS3 - Stunt Man In Flames - Medium
Dec 21, 2009 So far each map set had 1 skill game so I didn't want to break that trend for CS3. For this one I tried In Flames. This one has two paths and and a finish line that once you find the right line isn't too hard to reach. This may possibly appear in racing form in CS4.

CS3 - Upward Mobility Racing- Hard
Dec 21, 2009 I wanted to try something a little more vertical with this one. Checkpointing a vertical level proved to be rather difficult so there are some challenging stretches between checkpoints. I also had a serious problem with framerate lag when I started adding lights, I did my best to keep it to a minimum but there are a few spots where it slows down a bit and one dark part where it simply wouldn't let me add any lights.

CS1 - Glass Road 1.5 Racing- Easy
Oct. 28, 2009 The driving line is exactly the same as the original Glass Road but I have made a few changes. I'd kept my backgrounds pretty bare because I was concerned building a road out of glass would kill my object limit, so I recently went back in and maxed out my objects adding in details to the environment. The other main change is that I'd gotten a few complaints that the Platinum medal time was unattainable, so I've relaxed that based on the times that have been posted on TrialsHD.net.

CS2 - Shogun 14 Racing- Medium
Oct. 28, 2009 I literally made this map just so that I would have an even 14 maps allowing me to have two distinct groups of maps to share, hence the name Shogun 14 (technically it's not my 14th map). For this one I wanted to mess around with some bigger good flowing jumps. I put some climbing and other obstacles in as well to mix it up and I'm a big fan of alternate paths so there is a part where the path splits in two. I tried to make the jumps flow well while also making them hard enough for it to still be a challenge. Let me know what you think.

CS1 - Things Fall Apart Racing- Medium
Oct. 28, 2009 For this map I just wanted to play around with big structures that blow up or fall apart dynamically. That being said with all the dynamic physics action this map tends to show a lot of frame-rate slow-down, just a warning. This is also my shortest map yet because of all the objects & triggers that went into each structure. You start out on an exploding/collapsing platform, there are two criss-crossing paths and this is my first map with an alternate finish line.

CS2 - Ascent Hill Climb- Hard
Oct. 12, 2009 This one goes out to byers101 who sparked a little inspiration by asking if I had any Hill Climb maps in the works. I had been thinking about doing a map that started way down underground and ended up in the sky which is a perfect concept for a Hill Climb level so once the flame was lit I had to get to work. Kicked this one out pretty quick, but it's actually one of my favorite maps so far (which is funny considering I hate climbing obstacles). It gets pretty crazy towards the the top, but I hope to see some platinums because I spent a lot of time on some of the higher areas. Since it's pretty hard and I want people to see the whole level I'm working on adding in checkpoints and making a racing version.

CS1 - Area 42° Racing- Hard
Oct. 8, 2009 This is a continuation of my last map, Infiltration. Now that you're in you must navigate this secret facility. Unlock all it's hidden mysteries through a little puzzle action and a number of branching paths, but beware; some alternate paths you only get one shot at, then you're forced to take the longer harder route.

CS1 - Great Escape RMX Racing- Medium
Sept. 28, 2009 This is a remix of my first full map Great Escape. I changed around the end, added in some obstacles at some of the really easy points and did a little to address some framerate slow down (although there is still a lot, big multi-tiered explosions will do that). I just realized I didn't update the medal times to reflect the other changes, I'll be sure to take care of that asap.

CS1 - Infiltration Racing- Medium
Sept. 22, 2009 This map is something of a prequel to my map Great Escape. I was chatting with XBL user Doomsdaydev about map building the other day. He was asking for some advice on a map he was building but I misunderstood his question and thought he was looking for an idea to get him started so I said, "Infiltrate a secret facility." Since that wasn't the insight he was looking for I decided I'd use that concept for my next map. As usual I had some big plans that were thwarted by the object limit. You start out dropping from some sort of plane (an idea I got from AkatsukiUK's map Beer Raid) onto a mountain. Make your way down through some decaying caves before coming back up to actually breech the facility grounds. I had some cool ideas for stuff that could happen once you make it into the facility but I ran out of object while building my first room so I feel this map may turn into a trilogy with a new map that takes place in the facility and Great Escape being the conclusion. I also really wish I had the ability to trigger some sound effects along with lights, a siren or two would have been a really nice addition to this map, I added a few in for the video.

CS1 - Sippin' the Sky Racing- Easy
Sept 22, 2009 This is the easy difficulty version of Trippin' the Sky. When I finished that map I couldn't decide on a lighting set-up so I decided to make a few versions at various difficulty levels with the different lighting set-ups I wanted to try. For this one it's day. The obstacles have been altered a little more this time to make the map easy. The track rides pretty fast, if speed and big jumps are your thing I think you'll enjoy this one.

When I finished that map I couldn't decide on a lighting set-up so I decided to make a few versions at various difficulty levels with the different lighting set-ups I wanted to try. For this one it's night. All the obstacles are basically the same, just slightly easier.

CS2 - Trippin' the Sky Racing- Hard
Sept 15, 2009 For this map I had a two goals. I wanted to make a map that took place on rooftops and felt that way so on this map if you fall, you fall far. To that end I'm also a big fan of katamariUK's map City Run but at the same time it kind of bugged me that it starts out on a roof top, but in the map editor it is on the cube layer with the brick surface so that as you go down the sides of buildings, streets and whatnot are all the dirt blocks, so I wanted to see a map with skyscrapers that are using the blocks that look like building walls. I also wanted to work with negative space, I've been having trouble with maxing out my objects so I wanted to build something that took less objects but was still visually interesting. So in this map you get big jumps over big gaps with long falls and of course it wouldn't be a Cannibal Shogun map if things weren't falling apart or exploding as you make your way. This map is part of a series, I also have medium and easy versions that I will be releasing shortly. And to all you frame rate Nazis this map does have a few places were the frame rate slows down a bit. When I was first done with the main layout the entire map was running incredibly slow, over a weekend I probably devoted more hours to trying to fix the frame rate issues than I actually spent building the map. I do this for fun, I don't get paid, I can't spend hours every day trying to get the map running perfectly. I hope you can overlook it and still enjoy the ride.

CS2 - The Mine Racing- Hard
Sept 6, 2009 Choose your path. In this map you navigate an abandoned mining operation, there are multiple paths and the lower you go the easier it is (more or less). I had some grand plans for this one but they had to be heavily watered down when I maxed out my objects way earlier than expected. The idea was that the top path would be hard but fast if you can complete fault free but I ran out of space working on the lower path so the second half of the upper path is easier than I intended and the whole thing is much shorter than I wanted. I also had to delete a lot of my decorative objects just to have a enough space to bring the two paths back together, still looks pretty cool though.

CS2 - Night Shift Racing- Hard
Sept 4, 2009 Okay so I tried making a harder one for you guys this time and I'm going to need a little help. I'm not some sort of Jedi at this game... yet, so I need a little help determining medal times because right now I can't beat it without faulting 10 or 20 times. In this map you start out in a warehouse, make your way up to the roof, do a little building hopping come down and go back up again, less speed and big jumps than my previous maps. I've got a build up now for download but it'll get an update with new medal times and probably a few tweeks after I get some input from the community.

CS1 - Bone Destruction Down the Stairs - Easy
Sept 1, 2009 I saw a request for more skill level maps so I put together this rather brutal playground of pain to toss your poor rag-doll rider into. Getting a top score is easy, but finding all the different ways to do it is where the fun is at.

Glass Road Racing - Easy Aug 30, 2009 The name says it all, just gun it and try to survive as a road made of glass falls apart around you. A few mildly difficult jumps/obstacles but mostly really easy to complete. Alternate paths with a big finish.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcYjsR8KfDY
Great Escape Racing - Medium Aug 29, 2009 For this one I imagined escaping from a Bond type villain's complex as it was self destructing at the climax. This is my most challenging level yet and also has my favorite section I've created so far. At one point you have to navigate a scaffolding that is collapsing in front of you amid a huge fire and many explosions. Since this was my first big level I was doing a lot of experimenting so style wise it doesn't always feel consistent but if you like explosions I think you'll enjoy this level. The medal times are a little messed up (platinum is impossible) but it wouldn't save after I tried changing them, apparently that change makes the level too big to save. This map is currently unavailable on XBL, send me a message on XBL if you'd like to get it.

Road to Hell Racing - Beginner Aug 28, 2009 Nothing special here. My first level so I was just messing around with the tools. Navigate a few obstacles then hit a big ramp down that ends in a jump over a line of explosives, can you reach the finish before the explosions get you (usually you can). This map is currently unavailable on XBL, send me a message on XBL if you'd like to get it.
Tutorials:
At the request of a number of users I've also started making some video tutorials on map editing. You can see what tutorials I currently have available on my thread in the level editor forum http://www.redlynxgame.com/forum/vie...hp?f=54&t=2205 or just check them out on my YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/ShogunsCustomMaps
I saw a post asking for more skill game levels so I started working last night on a Down the Stairs level. Tentatively titled Bone Destruction it is a playground of pain for your poor rag-doll rider. It should be done and up for download tonight.

Finished my new "Down the Stairs" map Bone Destruction last night and took some video of my maps for the YouTubes.
You can check out the new map and videos in my main post above.

Your tracks are nice but the slowdown ruined it for me... I think the hard track is way too short too, otherwise they would be keepers but I just can't stand any slowndown. Glass Road was my favorite, many good ideas.
Love your tracks, some of my favorites. Glass Road is amazing! Wish I could get platinum though...I'm so close
@ QcChopper - Thanks. I kind of dig the slow-down when jumping through that room on fire, but I get why people don't like it. to me making one of these maps is almost like making a little mini movie, so when it slows down during a bunch of explosions and stuff I see it as slo-mo kicking in so I can savor a sweet moment on the map. That particular map was also a bit longer but it was too big, I actually had to delete a pretty big section in order to save it then once I was done I realized the whole end section was really easy and went by really fast. Maybe I'll revisit it someday and make it a little harder at the end but at the time I wanted to just move on to some new ideas.
@ Mantis - Thanks, man. Glad you dig 'em. That platinum time is pretty rough, I figured since the map was so easy I'd make the medals a little harder to get. Honestly I don't think I've gotten a platinum yet. When I made the times I took the best time I clocked and made it just a little less.
Thanks again for comments, dudes. The input is greatly appreciated.

Havent tested your tracks yet. (i will) but i have to give dredit about how well you promote your maps!! (even the small images with track "logo" in it)
Ok i said previous BEFORE checking the videos. WOW!!! have to find my lower jaw somewhere on the floor because it just dropped. now i HAVE to check your maps!!! Really freaking great job both the map wise AND the videos!!
My sentiments exactly. Friend request on the way, I look forward to checking out your tracks Cannibal. Thanks in advance for sharing.Originally Posted by ANBA
Thanks, guys. I figure I put enough time into creating the maps I might as well put the same effort into promoting them so they get played. And of course an education in graphic design and video production helps.

New map is up:
Night Shift Racing- Hard
Sept 4, 2009 Okay so I tried making a harder one for you guys this time and I'm going to need a little help. I'm not some sort of Jedi at this game... yet, so I need a little help determining medal times because right now I can't beat it without faulting 10 or 20 times. So if you are a more skilled player I'd love to know how difficult you found it and what kind of times you clocked.
In this map you start out in a warehouse, make your way up to the roof, do a little building hopping come down and go back up again, less speed and big jumps than my previous maps. I've got a build up now for download but it'll get an update with new medal times and probably a few tweeks after I get some input from the community.
