Identificationary is a drawing game in the style of Pictionary: each round, each player has a turn to draw a picture while other players attempt to identify it. Players who correctly guess the identity of a drawing score points, used to determine the winner or winners, depending on the victory type.

I decided to make the map in response to the dissatisfaction of playing Pictionnary (not a typo); it doesn't support mouse-input, relying instead on the primitive order-around-a-probe approach. Since the creator, an acquaintance of mine, couldn't be bothered to improve his map, I was compelled to make my own. It's small and modest, and includes all the features I thought desirable. It's designed to be played by friends and other folks who won't take it too seriously; it's not the sort of game that merits elaborate mechanisms to prevent abuses.

Special thanks to Shadow_Killer (modeller), Rao_Dao_Zao for publishing in the EU region for me and those brave few who helped test it on Battlenet.
