Are YOU Retarded?

Are YOU Curious?

Are YOU Curious
Development Stage
Creator: Br3aklngS0uI (USEast Realm)

Hey everyone, it's been a while, and I'd really like to start working on this bad boy again. I can't do this alone, and I need your help with this project to help me finish it. What do ya say? If you want to help, that would be great, PM me.

- Maps -
This is my first map, that I plan on completing. I have one semi complete, but have stopped production on it.

- Development -
This map is under heavy development.

- The Map -
This map will be UNLIKE any other map. If you do not know what a retard map is, this is what it is. This is going to be a curious map, in which they have characters, and spells to choose from to help them get past obstacles. They will use the spells instead of having them get them killed like in Retard maps.

- Based -
I am basing this map off of many of the Retard maps I've seen and mainly off of ideas I have come up with.

- Experience -
I am not too great at terraining, triggering, or any of the sort.
So, this map will take a long, long time to complete.

- Expected -
Criticism, and everything of the sort is welcome as I need it to make my map much better. I'm sure that there are bugs, as I have found some. I need help fixing them, as I am confused enough as it is with just making the triggers, let alone fixing bugged ones.

- Ideas -
Any ideas you have for the map are welcome, and you will be put into credits, and I will +Rep to you.

Btw, if you can actually get through it without looking at the triggers, you're god.

- List of stuff to do / fix: -
- Range (The unit revives, but the unit is not the same level / place as where they died)

- The Team -


- The HiveWorkShop -


Updated the map. ( 4 / 24 / 10 at 1:45 PM EST)

I'll take a look at it when I have time this evening,
The thing looks promessing though!
At least, that is if it is ANYTHING like the game i played on Bnet

Goodluck anyhow!
I might want to help on terraining.

Please do not try this! Please... it's like making a new footy... there are so many around
(this is just my opinion and a nice tip. If you believe in yourself to create a really new map with a completely new system/idea you might as well succede)

Anyway. Be sure to create a respawn system as it is damn boring to be unable to continue after dying once!

And if you need any help just PM me. I can do triggering (gui), medium terrain, and basic help

Instead of creating map that will kill you for every small thing
Try to create investigation map? You can use your ideas for traps there!
Also it will give you more freedom:
I mean you can create different heroes that will be nothing alone but good us team play!

My idea: One can have jump and mirior image ability! (can reach some special places leave image there and go back you know what I mean)

Second can be warrior, you will need that unit to defend others! Can have abilities like critical, taunt! something like that

3th one can be some kind of smart one! He can write special symbols on ground, if he pick some item without description replace it with triggers so he pick item with good ones and etc! Also he will give tips and help all around!

4 and last maybe can use telekinesis spells, push pull, swap! any kind of crazy shits that will make your map unique!

This is my idea:
Create good thread with awesome description in Idea factory or map Development forum!

Find people that will help!

Make epic map that will be played for long time!

 

[Hadezor]

You guys have some good ideas, and I'll keep the idea of respawning in my mind.
Now that you mention having different characters like that, kobas, it sounds like a good idea.
My drawback with it though is I don't know how to make the pop-up at the beginning to have different names for them to click and then have it to choose from there.
I'll pm you three to help.

Learn from here:
Tutorial 1
Tutorial 2
Tutorial 3
Tutorial 4
Tutorial 5

Find 2 or 3 hours to read and maybe more 2 or 3 hour so try all that!

That will help for sure!

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Well you need to keep in mind that one must be able to complete the map alone.
You can't force him to play it in multiplayer.

Maybe even use a control system:

There are ~6 different heros with different abilities
and 4 players.

Every players starts with a whisp and can take control over a hero to use it.
After doing the right thing he can give control away getting his whisp back to take over another hero which is needed at the very moment.

in this way you can do it alone but you could do it with 4

Just think about it

God another "Retard" map...

 

[Pharaoh_]

^Which is very annoying I have to say.

Everything that you touch makes you a retard. Because yes, smarties should not interact with their environment?

 

[Herian]

Being curious = Learning.
Being a retard = Being afraid of everything around us, besides things that already LOOK weird.

 

[Hadezor]

Alright then, when I finish doing what needs to be done to this, the map will be named Are YOU Curious?.

 

[Herian]

Would sound strange. As I said, what's the matter of being curious?
Here's an example of GOOD "Retard" map:
Are you an idiot? - You just need logic and common sense to win. And someone that doesn't have logic and common sense means he's an idiot.

Here's how it should be:

Are you a retard? - Retards are afraid of everything that surround them. But, strangely, they do not fear things that are WEIRD and LOOK WEIRD. They also think they can do whatever they want, and then find themselves dead, or in a terrible situation.

You should make it with logic and common sense. Things that look weird are dangerous. Real Are you a retard? maps should look like that. All "Are you a retard?" maps I played are just mazes.. With strange things. For example, a horse that has no damage kills you. A beast with two axes doesn't kill you.

Or, even, both kill you. And you walk on a wall to win. Walking on a wall is pretty much crazy. It is more like "Aren't you a retard?" : If you win, you ARE a retard. If you use common sense and logic, you lose. Guess it's great.

Examples of BAD "Are you a retard" maps:

All Are you a retard maps - Yes, all of them. Especially "vEX". At start of "vEX", there is two gates, an acolyte, and a place full of torches. If you walk near one of those gates, you die. If you walk near the acolyte, you die. If you walk near the place full of torches, you die.

Ontopic:
O_O Another Retard map! Awesome, i got through one although it took 10000 atempts.

 

[Herian]

Crazed_Seal, fail! I got through one in less than 10 attempts. =D

 

[Hadezor]

The map has been updated and the name has been changed to "Are YOU Curious".

UPDATED 4/24/10 @ 1:45 PM

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I don't mean this map i mean another 'Are you a Retard map'

 

[Herian]

Rofl, me too.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Sorry to say this.. but this map is just like the others. Pure crap.
The same stupid events, the same stupid non logical way of thinking.

This map will not make it far.

The events are still totally random and if you survive or die has nothing to do with thinking.

And as you made it EXACTLY like the the other retarded games before this is not even more than a pure ripoff.

I really though (and hoped) that you would be able to create a new thing...

 

[Herian]

^ Too much true for me to say something.
