If there is a Paired Mapping Contest, then those who want to live on the edge and do evrything to himself/herself will want to enter this contest. This is just an idea and a draft that I want to share w/ you guys..
- Any map that considers Towers a major factor in the gameplay....
- Maps should be solo-made or made by just only one mapmaker.
- Entries must be unprotected so that judges and other members can view triggers and data inside the map.
- The map must be created before the contest has begun.
- Entries must be under 4 megabytes.
- Imports like models, skins, systems, or spells, or any other imported content are allowed, and thus you must credit the makers of these resources.
- Boss levels may be incorporated in your map, even with special attributes.
- How original is the map? Does the map add a new element in the genre, or is it just like other TD's previously released to the public?
- Does the map have unique towers and abilities and ideas?
2) Terrain
- The terrain of your TD. Was the terrain good, or just simply cliffs and grid-like layouts that make the map boring?
- Of course it is difficult to make good terrain in TD's, but you have to put your best efforts into this one in your map.
3) Quality
- How good is the quality of your map? Is your TD made well or made badly as if there were only 5 types of normal towers created with unbalanced stats?
4) Balance
- How balanced is your map? Are the creeps/towers decently balanced, or do players end up building an ownage tower killing any creep that comes near, or are non-boss creeps way too fast or tough to slay? Or are the boss level creeps have so much HP that they are close to invulnerable?
5) Triggers
- How well were the triggers in the map? Have you written the triggers properly? Are there a few errors? Are there leaks in your code?
