Mini-Mapping Contests: The Drums in the Dungeon

[Kino]

@Kino
What is that picture? I think map of traps or something like that?

Nah its just a loadscreen lol

 

[SA Dashie]

I could really use a thew more days as well as I have been pretty well buisy and I am going away for a camping trip with no acres to electricity.

 

[eubz]

Deadline is near. Good luck to the contestants.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

New wip. Added a cool detailed room, started creating the storyline, fixed some bugs... This one is worthy of downloading, trust me

I now have to terrain just one more segment, and do the storyline, then some polishing, and I'm done. Hopefully, I will make it.

Btw, I'm okay with the extension, I could use it.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Apapapa! I'll have to eat my words I never can be ready in just few days. Tomorrow a big party at my home and day after tomorrow I'll have hangover. O-ou!

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Where do you live, bro? If you are in a 100km radius around Serbia, count me in If not, then recreate Project X for me xD

Btw, some feedback, please...

 

[HammerFist132]

Okey matija here is ur feedback. Systems are good. Only thing what I do not like is turning left, right. Somehow I need to turn just a little , so soft press left arrow, nothing happens. Hard press he turns too much. Also I think when U turn of sprint and then turn it off mana is still draining.

Btw if u were talking to aerocblactos in ur last post, yea he is near, in Finland of course xD

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Thanks, Hammer I forgot to change the turning speed... Will do it for the next version... But what about the terrain? Does it look realistic?

Btw, this is it guys. A first BETA from me. Reduced file size from ~10mb to ~6mb. Added more creeps, added some chests and potions, and put in a boss. Boss fight is not coded! That's the only thing left to do, besides polishing. Anyway, I would appreciate feedback now more than ever before

I like your map! Its just not a simple Warcraft because it has controls. BTW, can I ask where can I see my life? I died cuz Im not aware of my life...LOL!

Good-looking map, here's a +REP! Like your way of terraining. It really looks like a realistic castle. This is good as your Adramalech!

OFF- Topic: You like two steps from hell music? Cuz in your Adramalech you used the music.... To Glory!

 

[Kino]

So is the extention confirmed? id so, when is the new deadline?

 

[baassee]

I have no confirmation about an extension although I do not join this side due to the fact it's actually a "mini" contest. But it does seem that many people are willing to go for a short extension, correct?

 

[Kino]

Final Screenshot.

 

[HammerFist132]

I need about 3 or 4 days to finish last boss, fix some things and add some music.
Edit: changed my mind, cannot finish it in less than 5 days, so lets says 5-6 fays. And I will do my job.

Thanks, bro. In the tutorial, it clearly says 'Open the multiboard' It shows both your mana and health. Btw, I tried to make it so that you lose mana quickly, but also replenish it quickly, so it kinda removes any chance of spam.

I hate myself.... I dont read texts. Sorry will read next time!

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Np, man Btw, I upgraded my map further. Added some nice abilities to boss, triggered the fight a little, added a custom loading screen (which is completely made by me), added 1 hp and mp regeneration per second, which increases while channeling That's it for now, some more polishing and I will post my final submission

 

[TwoVenomous]

It's 30th of September already, where could i see the final submissions ?

oh wait, it's 1st of October ?

 

[Vengeancekael]

So who still wants an extension?

 

[Tickles]

Technically there's still time left to submit an entry. But judging by the number of final entries so far (or lack of any ), I think we're going to need one.

 

[TwoVenomous]

I need about 3 or 4 days to finish last boss, fix some things and add some music.

he needs it

oh and when the contest ends, where could i see the final submission, do they post it here, on another thread, or on the map development forum ?

I do.

@MaTiJa97
Uh, I knocked the boss around through bookshelves and out of the building by punching him. He got stuck outside, and I couldn't complete the game

EDIT : oh wait, i punched him out of the walls too, but the boss did get back to his nest and waiting for me..

 

[HammerFist132]

Ya I think to it is better to boss do not get knockback, because he is mister boss.

I want more time, is there need to I repeat it usually?(not sarcasm, ask seriously).

 

[TwoVenomous]

@MaTiJa97

really nice map , and it fits the theme too
decent terrain and playable (i lost several times tho)
it's like a little piece of MMORPG's
5/5

Tunnel Buster

Type: First-Person Dungeon Shooter
Max Players: 1

The disappearance of workers in a local gold mine has led to your recruitment to investigate and exterminate any hostile presence within the tunnels.

Features

• First-Person View
• Three Different Gameplay Modes
• Realistic Pistol Aiming & Firing
• Auto Movement
• Dark Cavern-Like Atmosphere
• Variety of Different Enemies & Hectic Situations
• Triumph (Achievement) System
• Anti-Lag Measures

All credits are listed in the quest menu (F9) in-game, and so is a list of all triumphs. It's highly suggested that graphic settings are kept on High. For judges or anyone checking the map in the editor, viewing the Pistol unit's model (zDummy) can result in editor crashing. It works fine in-game, but I wasn't able to fix it for the editor.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Thanks for the feedback, guys, really appreciate it. I kinda lost all motivation, so I barely finished the map (as you could probably see). Anyway, +rep for every feedback

 

[Sin'dorei300]

@Tickles
Awesome, gj man!

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

@Tickles: just finished your map, it's great, hope you will win bro

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Did we get any extension or is this over?

 

[baassee]

So who still wants an extension?

No one answered this question.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, I won't continue the entry until I have my answer. :[

Don't wanna waste my time.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Alright, everyone, the contest has been extended to the 6th (Saturday).
So anyone who couldn't finish get on it now and those who have submitted their final entry can still edit their submission.
I really don't like interfering with Pharaoh_'s work and this was already extended in the beginning, but oh well, lets hope the next contest will be better off on deadlines.

If I knew that I may continued when I was done with RL. Shame... whatever good luck all of the rest people participating in the contest

@Tickles
Ur maps are always original, but somehow to me always something is missing, it is somehow easy so there is no challenge for it, and there are some big pauses beetwin enemy income, and also I would like to arrows work aster for moving; and maybe should be longer.
Sry iff u do not like my feedback, I always do it like shark, only want to help u to upgrade it xD. But map is of course rly cool.

 

[Tickles]

Nice, now hopefully a lot more entries will come in.

I like that type of criticism. It's constructive and lets me know what needs to be fixed Now that we have an extension, I can go back and fix those types of things. Thanks for pointing them out.

 

[HammerFist132]

Last few days I have many problemms with my map. Sometimes I am unable to save map and before version get deleted, sometimes all imported files are deleted or have o kb size and have no what to do with them. So entire day I do one the same thing and always have more then 50 copies of my map.
Ya thats something like epic slowdown xD

 

[Tickles]

Always use a Ctrl + S save after importing files. If you go to test your map after importing a file without saving (causing it to auto-save), that's when all the files are stripped to 0kb. But if you accidentally do it again, you can open Maps>Test>WorldEditTestMap to find a properly-saved version of your map.

 

[Abelhawk]

Hhhhh... Fun stuff. If only I had time.

 

[SpasMaster]

Can't wait to see the final submissions and the results.

 

[TwoVenomous]

@Tickles

another nice and fun map
but as HammerFist132 said, the arrow should be little faster than it's currently is, since it's hard to aim things like lever, lantern, flying enemies,etc,etc.

and how do the boss attacks ? when i battled with the boss, i didn't get damaged at all

5/5

 

[Tickles]

Yeah, I kind of rushed with the boss in the last two days before the September 30th deadline The tentacles were supposed to supposed to spawn rapidly when others were attacked (and the boss itself). I'm fixing that up, adding new gameplay modes, and adding settings to adjust turning rates for aiming. Thanks for the feedback!

U know heavy done map in 192x192 terrain for one month rly is good enough for some comments xD. If something is to hard/easy pls report that to

Why (EXTENDED) for what ??

@HammerFist132

My Review

Great terrain!
Great spells!
Nice custom models!
Love the boss fight! (harder is always better)

something you might want to consider :

1. I'm starting from nowhere, more hints would be better

2. After i fought some enemies, i'm forced to fight the boss and resulting in losing all of the lives. I know i have healing spell, but that's not enough

3. the mini boss (infernal) dropped an item after i defeated it but i had no chance to pick it up since i'm forced to move to the boss fight.

4. there wasn't any break time at all. after i fought the first boss (lvl 10), i'd have to fought another boss (lvl 20) when i'm still on the same level when i fought the lvl 10 boss!

5. i could hold as many weapon as i want

i know i could do better, but the chance of winning is really small
give me more space to breath!

not important things :

- the title of the map : "Duengeon of Chilling Lord"

PS: More creeps, more creeps! i love to spam skills~!

Key of Power
(i would love a KEY expert!)

really nice map 5/5 +rep

 

[Tickles]

Why (EXTENDED) for what ??

For... entries? Almost everyone dropped out towards the end of the contest, but now it looks like some are back in due to the extension.

Well first of all, it looks way too similar to your map from the previous contest. The name, the WoW models (which unnecessarily kill your map's file size), skills, and even most of the terrain in the starting area looks exactly the same. The grammar also still needs a lot of work. An example would be when the first boss talks:

"You have pass long way to die here mortal."

Instead, it could be...

"You have travelled a long way to die here, mortal."

The game is very challenging. Multiple difficulty modes would have made it more player-friendly, although the patterns get easier over time. It would have also been more rewarding to earn skills and level them as your character levels. It seems a lot like an MMORPG style. I love the effects, and the terrain is very wide and epic-feeling. There could be more bulky objects lying around to decorate the terrain like barrels or other destructibles. Item drops seemed to be a bit repetitive, but there's a nice variety of stat bonuses to choose from.

I could see this becoming a really good map with better grammar and other minor fixes. I'm still not really sure what to think about it being directly based on your map from MMC#7.

 

[HammerFist132]

I told at start to it will base to my MM7 contest. Ya I have to admit to I have been working on that map, but that map was just 0/5% done and almost everything was like very early alpha phase. I think to happytauren have told (correct me if I am wrong) to u can work on older maps if they are just scratch(spelling wrong xD).
About map size. I am rly work hard on reducing itt, so remuving needless animations, reducing skin quality etc.
Btw my Eng sux and it always will xD, so for eng I will probably call my friend.
Btw I like both replays. Thx dude working on improving.

EDIT: Now and I see to my map is too hard. I was always trying to play it with all items at start. Now when I try realy game with our items at start. And to me is hard to beat first boss with out losing any life. Ya I have to balance many many things in my map.
