Demon/Undead Theme Contest

[Runepriest]

Dead Line
People will be give 3 weeks to finish the map. This gives enough time to have a good amount of maps done and several good ones.

Requirements
The map must be original.
The map must have zombies/undead/demons as main characters (does not have to be player-controlled).
The map should be an RPG or an ORPG. +10 points if it's an ORPG.

Scoring
XX/25 Originality (how unique is it)
XX/10 Humor (small jokes or puns)
XX/35 Theme (How well it fits in)
XX/30 Popular vote (not sure how to judge this)

 

[Mechmap]

Give more information and please. An ORPG!! No one will probably even bother begin making a map.

 

[ady_illidan]

an ORPG?!! it's too much too work dude

 

[Wizardum]

Why don't you try a mini-game contest? It's easier. There is already minigame contests, but you could try, the theme is different.

And don't take badly our suggestions, we just give our opinion, you state your idea for a contest and then you should analyse our suggestions to change the contest to make him worth of approval.

 

[Runepriest]

Good point, no ORPG. and mini game, sure.

 

[Wizardum]

And make another thing, give a lot more info. Build a structured list of rules and stuff of the contest. Search around, find approved contests and take ideas to that list.
Now an hint: why don't you increase the theme of the contest or give a theme that could involve more possibilities of the creation of mini-games.
Mini-games are very simple and easy to do, but sometimes hard to do an original, open the possibilities.
I was about to start making an mini-game and I saw your contest, this really doesn't matter, but if you choose another theme to the contest and my ideas fit on it, I'm in!

 

[daw_guy]

He I tried making a game that fitted into this catagory. I like the theme. This is how my game looks like. Zombie rules of conduct. Those who don't listen lose.

Hope you don't mind if I try to make some rules based on what was stated earlier.

Hope this gets accepted, Very fun to think of ideas.

Stage 1: Zombies hate water and like blight
Stage 2: Zombies don't cheat
Stage 3: Zombies take shortcuts
Stage 4: Zombies are forgetful
Stage 5: Zombies wouldn't have played this long. GG

My five stages for my map

 

[Wizardum]

This is just your suggestion for the contest right?
Now we must wait for Runepriest's decision.

Check others people submissions to see hwo a thread like this should look like.

Yeah he's right and you, Runepriest, should be more active to answer our questions and suggestions.

 

[dubbleD]

so considering if it were a properly written thread, what kind of idea did you have in mind? making something like island defence or tree tag or sheep tag or hatchling tag? lol....

 

[Pyritie]

We just had a paired mapping contest, and the theme of it was "minigames".

I don't think many people want to make another one.

 

[Runepriest]

Sorry for not responding for so long, my area lost power for awhile, and thus internet. My original idea was an ORPG. Pyritie, thanks for that pointer. I'll change it back to ORPG. And I'll use daw_guy's format. Thanks everyone.

 

[Pyritie]

ORPGs take far too long though. Maybe just a regular RPG?

 

[Runepriest]

Sure, ORPG is an option.

 

[Elenai]

Personally a Demon/undead theme seems boring and cliche'd.

 

[Direfury]

Heh, well its more interesting than a nub-based theme, they'd probably all be tied for last.

 

[dubbleD]

why couldnt anyone associate with something interesting...new and exciting...like pandaren wariors bashing up undead? rofl

 

[Runepriest]

Note: The best entry for each category gets full points. others are based on how they did compared to the best entry for that category.

 

[daw_guy]

Ok.
Not sure if I have the attention span to make an orpg or an rpg.
Maybe you could give us a guidline for an rpg like what you would want so we could get the most points possible.

 

[Runepriest]

I'd reccomend the following plotline:

Hero selection
Bandits
Vampire
Necromancer
Town
Lich
Big bad Warlock.

 

[Gilles]

No ORPG. You may get one person to join, and he/she will not finish. Judging would be a bitch.

Maybe a small single player RPG map (You seem to be keen on RPG). Something similar to When the Freedom Slips Away. A smallish map (set a max size of map) with a bunch of "undead/scary" themed quests. I'd try my hand at it.

Also single player is easy to evaluate.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Maybe people can make some kind of a RTS map with this race. It don't have to be like Warcraft III melee games.

 

[Runepriest]

Gilles. I'm guessing RPG's are for single player, and ORPG's for Beetle (Battle) Net? If you won the contest with a couple entrant's you would show that you can make a variety of map's if you normally don't do ORPG's.

READ Dan van Ohllus. IT SAYS ORPG OR RPG. NOT RTS.

 

[Pyritie]

ORPGs mean you can insert codes to start where you left off last time you played. RPGs mean you start from the beginning each time.

 

[Runepriest]

Thanks for telling me the difference Pyritie. I still think the way i have it now is good. You don't have to do an ORPG, but you have a better chance of winning if you do.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

READ Dan van Ohllus. IT SAYS ORPG OR RPG. NOT RTS.

I was just giving a suggestion in case ORPG and RPG isn't good enough.

 

[Runepriest]

I'm sticking to RPG or ORPG.

 

[~Void~]

How about a "shooter" type map, like snipers or archery tactics?
