Idea For next mapping contest.

[madcat2]

Well since the other mapping contest is finally in to a poll it'll probably take a about late February or early march before the poll and contest are concluded.

So i was thinking a Easter/Spring theme for next contest.

The judge voting will probably be much faster this time as there isn't that many maps. So next contest will probably start late febuary.

Ah I guess you're right.

Next theme could be Defense. Tower defence, Hero defence, whatever.

AoS could be a defense as well (DEFENSE of the ancients for example)...

I think that restricting the contest to genre promotes less creativity than giving keywords ("crystals forest druid" - make a map out of it for example)

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Im saying horror map. Break out the high-res crap and learn to create atmosphere

 

[madcat2]

Eh theme doesn't matter to me very much as long as it's not a paired contest i'm, geting tired of thoughs.

That's the theme for the current cinematic contest though.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Romance would be a good theme. hasn't been done before either.

 

[Kwaliti]

Dungeon Escape? Y'know, you gotta make it through traps and sh*t.

Sounds more like a cinematic than a map.

OO we could Do a board game theme, If we do go with board game i call candy land xP

 

[del_diablo]

What about creating a map solely based on PvP? A arena fight similar to how a martial art tournament goes upwards. Soo that would require the idea of making it good enogh with allmost no limint of idea useage.

 

[Elenai]

What about a Diablo 2 style map...where in you must battle a demon foe, or a Sin War scenario, where you take the sacred might of the heavens, or the devilries of the Burning hells, and using mortal pawns, seek to gain sway over all creation.

Or simply a battle between the two.

 

[~Void~]

How about recreating a game? Like, the theme would be to recreate Oblivion, so you would make a "game engine" that is like oblivion (for those who don't know, it's a medieval RPG and the controls are like a fps)

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Remaking another game, that would not be very fun to do.

 

[madcat2]

How about a reallife type game?

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

sounds ok for rl map, I want another mini game contest...

possibly a racing map, doesn't matter if space,land,air, water. choice of maker

 

[madcat2]

We could do a arcade game theme, and base maps off of old arcade game.

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

that was my plan for a mini game contest lol, but don't wanna say my idea, their be pirates out there. it's freaking amazing idea

 

[Pyritie]

The problem with a racing map is bnet lag. Arrow keys lag the most.

[DesKaladA]

maby a good one to do would be a td

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

Pyrite your right, it was just an idea though =P

 

[Mazurite]

I say we could make a map with the same tactics as dota, or samurai legends or civilization wars.. any of them

 

[Dr Super Good]

Nothing would beat a good turnbased RPG in multiplayer.

 

[Hoernchen]

I suggest how about a mini-aos, which only has to contain 8-12 heroes for 4v4 to 6v6 gameplay and is small for a fast game, and since its so small it wont take too long to make.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Survival. <--- The map you make has to do ANYTHING with this word.

It can be zombies, something similar to island troll tribes, surviving cannon balls (Mini game) Or what ever. AS long as that map has something to do with Survival. Survival games are win.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Mini-RPGs might be nice.

 

[madcat2]

I vote for mini rpg!

 

[Callahan]

A map where i can have a use of my Dude models

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I still say survival, i would join if it was. Pew pew...zombies...

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

I'd have to make a Jericho type map for survival although i will probly wait for sc2 for a jericho map, because the whole sci fi things fits better, plus hopefully new editor would help out better with it.

But I still say mini-gami contest ^.^

 

[Callahan]

I vote survival too.

 

[Warcraft33]

I think It Would be fun and that shows wut I know

 

[Callahan]

Can we start it?

 

[Pyritie]

I think we already have. Theme is "heroes".

 

[Callahan]

No it's the paired mapping contest not the mapping contest.
