Enter The Pit
Pick one of 17 classes in a fight for your own life!

Enter The Pit is an arena game which focuses on fast killing, team-based play and simplicity.

Introduction

You and a handful of others have fallen during the Great War. You have been consigned to Hell! It seems however that you are given a second chance... The Pit Lord has allowed the winner(s) of this arena battle to be granted a second chance!
Fight alongside your team, or by yourself in a MOBA-styled game that has either left out or altered your everyday creep-killing/denying, experience gain and focuses on a game of pure skill and raw teamwork.
Skill-shots
This game focuses mostly on testing your twitch reflexes

Competitive Gameplay
Team up against others for a competitive yet short and fun game.

Fame
Gaining fame allows players to 'buy' items and make players stronger. Be careful though, items have durability!

Events
Play solely against other players, or turn on Random Events to add more chaos to the game.

AI
Spice it up by adding computer players to the game!
AI is still under development, but is partially finished.

This map has been worked on for the past 3 months for anywhere between 6-12 hours a day, everyday. (Including beta testing). If you think I haven't accomplished much, maybe you're right, but I'm the kind of guy who does not like it when something he makes doesn't feel right... So, often, I tend to delete a section I've been working on, and do it all over again, to see if I can do it better.

As you can see from the changelog, the map's been going a while. It has mainly been sitting in the Map Development section, but I thought it was time to release it since I can get more opinion now.

There have been a lot of obstacles along the way, and I've attempted AND succeeded on fixing them or finding a way around. If however I have overlooked anything, please let me know.

All in all, I have had a lot of fun making this map! I am very devoted to making it better, so please, if you have any questions, critique or ways you think this map could be improved; DO LET ME KNOW.

Expect a lot of changes, updates, improvements in the future!



Caution, map is protected.

The abilities seemed very well made and fun, and even the basic ones were interesting (the Demon's camouflage is awesome!)

I haven't been able to test this out with friends as of yet, so I can't comment on the combat itself, but it looks like it could well be great with a lot of people :)

Perhaps some abilities should be able to smash the rocks? For example, if the Footman charges into one it should break... though obviously only with large-ish cooldown spells :L Only a little suggestion, nothing necessary to gameplay!

Good luck with the development of this map :)

Most abilities already deal damage to rocks, but I'll keep the charge thing in mind :) +rep.

Posting Some Screenshots Would be helpful.

Yep, that's why it says: coming soon.

Reason why it's taking a while is because well... It's been less than 12 hours :p, AND it's an arena game that doesn't focus on how pretty the terrain looks either. If you maybe... Play it, you'd understand it's probably not that easy getting a screenshot that will showcase what makes the game fun... So give it a bit of time. :)

How about gameplay screenshot? Like, collect some volunteers, play the game, screenshot what you think is fitting in the thread. It's a good map by the way, played it with my brother. Well, he crushed me, but that is another matter. It's fun, short and addictive ( when you win ). Hoping to see more in the future!

Seems I uploaded the wrong version of the new map. This should be right.

EDIT

Thanks for playing! And yes there will definitely be more in the future. :) I've got a few ideas that have sprung to mind already :D :D
Also, I've been trying to get a few people to play, but without luck.
