[sentrywiz]

Well I think I did my best. Can't wait any longer.

"everything shipshape and bristol fashion, anchors aweigh! YAR!"


Venture Co. Shipyards

 

[XanderD]

uploaded, ready to go!

With your map shouldn't that be "everything shipshape and bristol fashion, anchors aweigh!"?

 

[JaleVeliki]

wip #1

 

[WolfFarkas]

wip #1

by definition a wip screen is to proof that the final entry is yours, for that is like a wip must show a significant portion of the map (not necesary all)
this is just a first plane of a shipyard , shallow water, ashenvale leaves tileset and plants, it wont be usefull as proof for your final entry.

please, if you want to upload a wip, upload a serious wip, for the rules sake.


by the way, 5 days remain.

Indeed, edited. Thanks

[DuckDuckGoose]

[Restor]

Looks decent - and another urban map on the list, which I like.

Good luck to everyone, I cannot make it till deadline, so i quit.

See you perhaps in the next contest

That's really sad. But there are still a lot of participants without an entry and some even without a WIP preview so I fear even more dropouts - please make this fear go away!

Is no secret that I wrote to almost all users, and I can tell that 5-6 users are gonna post their entries the last day,

last days have their adrenaline, but it will be ok

Thanks. At the moment most of my ideas revolve around City palettes. Guess lines and angles is more my thing.

 

[Rockstar356]

Hi all
Here is my WIP
I hope to finish tomorrow

 

[Abovegame]

I'll have to drop out, sorry! Good luck to you guys!

 

[FranzVader_CZ]

Ok ladies and gentlemen my entry is here:
Westfall Adventure

 

[Arrr]

I have to drop out, been unexpectedly busy this last month, and dead hungover today.
Good luck everyone!

 

[Khaldaiel]

Ok, this is my entry guys, it was exceptionnaly late for me too.... but I have no excuse, i was just lazy ^^'

Veilswamp

I've made some changes since last time :

Spoiler: Main changes

- The creeps around the mercenary camps and goblin shops have been swapped to make the goblin shop's creeps sleep at night. The camps have been reworked so that the goblin shop is still easier than the mercenary camp.
- The item drops have been reworked a little to avoid some very unfair drops. ( I completely removed the cristal ball for instance, and let the legion doom horn be a level 5 permanent instead of the level 4 registered on my version of the world editor :/ )
- Taverns have been added.
- A lot of work on the environnement has been done !
- The pathing around the ramps and the islands have been upgraded to be logic and more playable.

 

[Knecht]

Bad news everyone, seems like we'll have to drop out as well. Good luck to all.
I'm looking forward to everyone's map.

is sadly to hear that all you (such talented in melee) are droping.
Have good luck.

 

[JaleVeliki]

So many people dropping out!!

I hope I get to finish mine.
Would anyone else benefit from a 24-hour deadline extension?

keep rushing, drink cofee, copy paste terrain, loot creeps, copy paste the doodads
focus in balance rather than in enviroment.

@mafe

your words??, since we are reaching the end.

 

[XanderD]

drink cofee

responsibly

So I can tell, 6 entries remain to be presented, good luck guys, one last effort.

It would be more than just sad if we only had the ten current entries.

I'm not against an extension of the deadline. But of course the judges have to be heard for that. But my guess would be that they won't oppose this - Lawliet for example has his final qualifying match in the South Korean qualifier for the World Cyber Games on Wednesday and would probably not have started before this anyway.

"responsibly"
of course,

I have to say that I was surprised, I got many positive responses from some users (cant control all users at the same time), and just now a wave of droppings,

"The contest shall begin on March 16th and conclude on April 23rd, 23:59 GMT"

for the moment the contest is running with this time, until @mafe appears and explain us whats gonna be the next steps of the contest, thats why I tag mafe since he is the manager, he has to manage this ship.

About the extention, me silent, is mafe decision, where captain rules, doesnt rule a sailor, I am a just sailor.

I can only encourage the 7 users to focus in balance, terrain the map with simple tile paths, with 3k - 4k doodads, trees mostly, dont waste in enviroment that much, copy paste flowers, and present the map ASAP, I sugest a fast upload and then update improved if you have the time to.

 

[XanderD]

Did you only call yourself a sailor because of all those boat maps?

And about mafe... if mafe lives in Europe it might simply be sleeping time like it should be for me as well.

 

[WolfFarkas]

Did you only call yourself a sailor because of all those boat maps.

XD, actually is a very very common proverb here, used and overused.

Where rules a captain , doesnt rule a sailor.

that is used in everything, with your job boss, with your father, with your wife...

And about mafe... if mafe lives in Europe it might simply be sleeping time like it should be for me as well.

Yes I have that info, but I wanted that mafe make such statement himself.

 

[mafe]

I dont mind a 24 hour extension, as I wont be able to start reviewing the maps before Thursday anyway.

So the deadline is extended to April 24, 23:59 GMT, i.e. about 1 day and 17 hours from this post.

 

[FranzVader_CZ]

This deadline rush reminds me my university times soooo much Anyway a good decision when so many maps can be possibly done in next 24 hours.

some good news!,

I have the info that from the 6 remaining entries, 4-5 are gonna be presented with high chances before deadline.

 

[nightelfbuilder]

I have to sadly dropout as well, I have finals next week and I also have to prepare for college which is so damn close that it is scary.

 

[JaleVeliki]

Many thanks for the extension! Will mean everything

 

[Khaldaiel]

Hmm... I will use this time to continue to update my map ^^' :

5 entries remain, from those, 3 are gonna be presented with high chance, 2 of them I dont know their current state.

 

[DuckDuckGoose]

Really needed the extension. Will have it ready later today.

 

[Blood Raven]

It's starting to look like a map!
To be honest, I don't know if I'll make it, even though I really want to. If other users need it too, I wouldn't mind another day extension...

 

[Arrr]

ooh, an extension.
Posting a WIP just in case.

 

[Nudl9]

Map is complete, been doing some polishing after rigorous testing.
It should work well in a 1v1 too if it was possible to force distant spawns.

Had a game on dandael's stream.

I dont really mind. If you and maybe some others think that their maps will benefit from it, then we can have another 24 hours.

However we should realistically finish soon. I planned to start with reviewing the maps this weekend, because in May there will be a lot of other stuff competing for my time.

So I'll extend the deadline until April 25th 23:59 GMT, but I would probably veto any further extensions.

Arrr, Jaleveliki, Aspaghethiman, Rockstar356, Bloodraven, Duckduckgoose, hope you can all make it tomorrow, so the contest may have 17 entries (11 currently).

 

[Blood Raven]

Thanks for the extension, I'll try to make the best use of it.
Here's another wip, doing more of my visual gimmicks again

 

[DuckDuckGoose]

I am planning on finishing it today but the extension will let me test my map more.

beta test is as important as mapping, lot of bugs can be saved with that,
