1. Eye catching thumbnail.

Your map will only be in the Newest section for so long. A good thumbnail will get people’s attention and make people think “Oh, this isn’t just a screen shot of the lobby or a random image or d#mb meme. This map might be good.” This is because maps usually match the thumbnail’s quality.

2. Make it replayable.

Once a player 1 short and straight path to the end with little to do is usually boring. If you’re skilled enough, you can use this to add to the gameplay.

2.1 Add secrets and lore/information.

Something to look for often makes people stick around. These can be a secret room for lore purposes and/or containing a gadget to use, or something that only has a chance to appear while playing. Maybe it’s a different fish jumping out of the water in a river, maybe it’s a shadow d3m0N appearing for 0.3 seconds. But whatever it is you add, make sure there’s a possible way people can find it, like a secret note or something to make your character say something like: “Something feels off…”. Or don’t, that’ll make it more secret.

3. Updates and content.

Once players find everything in the game, they usually stop playing because there’s nothing left to do. Make an update board/log in the lobby and put your Forum name so people can know there will be more to do sometime or be the one that gives you the idea for what to add next.

4. Link your map in your Forums bio.

This way, people that didn’t see it when it was in the Newest section can find it and play it.

Yes, I did just copy my post from a similar topic to this one.

Another thing to add is the school hours. Creative maps made by others are blocked during the 8am-4pm school hour range.
