Map Development Mini-Contest #2 [Hero Defense]

Evan1993 · 06-21-2009, 01:09 AM

uh.. just wondering.. what makes a map a hero defense? I'm not 100% sure what a hero defense is so I was wondering what counts as a hero defense.

The template should contain all of your answers.

I've just started work on my entry for the contest. Here are some screenshots of what I've done so far.

The terrain is about 50% done, and I have started work on some of the basic triggers and a basic AI.

The only thing you can't change about the template is its size. So a hero defense is just a map that size?

Hmm, you're doing that terrain style again? Well I kinda like it. :P

I think I will make an undead themed map.

Damn, that looks great Bob :D

Here's a little screenshot to give you all an idea of the kind of terrain I'll be making and the kind of setting the map will have. You play as members of a necromantic cult that is defending its underground castle from an invading force of paladins known as the "Children of the Light." The primary objective is to secure the location of the head necromancer, (some cool name beginning with an X), while he summons a portal to escape through. After 30 minutes, the portal is complete and you win.

Note that the terrain is not even close to complete.

EDIT: I cut out the water model to save an import slot. Now it's just empty abyss... which kinda looks better anyways.

Eccho · 06-21-2009, 11:29 PM

It looks like a great start anyway:) Ill see if I can post a wip soon too.

(void, could you send me the sphere model please?)

Yeah I decided to use the same style as my last terrain, since it looks great and the only imports it needs is the custom trees, so the map size won't get too big from imports.

Looks nice so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like when its done :)

Here's another screenshot, this area's about 50% done.

Bob27 and Voids terrains looks promising. Void, you just gave me inspiration. Huh, if only I had some more time.

Don't forget guys, 10 imports.

Eccho · 06-22-2009, 03:15 PM

I got myself a wip now. It will kind of not look like this probably.

Yeah that's gonna be a huge pain in my ass :P

hhmm well thanks bounty you put the template out the same day that i left town... not bringing a computer with me XD

and what is the point of the template? all it does is set the size, like its quite a bit different from the original contest... i know you want the maps to be cool but its suppose to be something simple and easy that we come up with not fuckin insane shit made by void...

Edit: the original contest didn't let you have imports :D FTW!!!!!!!!
