Concept	Does your map revolve around a central theme? does any story elements fit in place? example would be Mario in a Pacman level to denote a low score..	/25

Going Green	How well does your map make use of limited space, be it file size or terrain size.	/20

Oh look, I think someone was paying attention in the chat.

 

[HyperActive]

I'm gonna do a Bomberman remake.

 

[Kala]

I'm in!
I have (awesome) idea.

 

[CeDiL]

Good luck, this is a nice idea indeed!

 

[Dentothor]

Battle Warcraft Chess. Nuff said. Does the map have to be both single and multi?

It clearly says it can be single OR multiplay ^^

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I've had an idea for this for a while, I just gotta come up with a way to make it work.....

 

[-Kobas-]

I will join for sure, I have really really epic idea
Still if school and other things take 2 much time I would like to be judge

 

[Garfield1337]

Got an idea, hopefully i'll haz time to execute it.

 

[Cweener]

I can has judge? :3

 

[Thrikodius]

I'm in DAMNIT!!!

 

[baassee]

If time will allows then I'll be in.

 

[-Kobas-]

I'm best in terraining, still my map won't have terrain, rofl

 

[Garfield1337]

I might scrap my idea since it would take a minimum of 4 players to play and number of players would have to be even...would that be ok? =[

 

[Dentothor]

not doing chess, as its not creative enough

 

[baassee]

They don't count in coding anyway so create a map with thousands of leaks Won't lagg anyway as long as you have no repick option (since it's a mini-game fast paced).

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

I believe having a repick option is in the rules so.....

 

[Dentothor]

its not in the rules

 

[-Kobas-]

You need to create game that won't last 10 hours (below 60 min will be ok ), still you can add restart like option to restart game (cuz it's minigame after all) and start from zero instead of hosting same game and so on

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Playability Overall fluidity of the map in game and on the transition between games. Is the map bug/lag free?

Here it is, so I guess it isn't necessarily in the rules but it'll definitely earn you some (hopefully) easy points

 

[baassee]

Blah my statement failed.

Yet this is funny

Is the map bug/lag free?

Lagg is computer dependant from my point of view so if wiener has a wooden computer, you're screwed if you leak

 

[Dentothor]

lag on wooden computer = no more computer :/

 

[Cweener]

Good thing my computer is very new, and very fast.

If I lag, then 9/10 users on BNet will.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Break out the brick Cweener
We need some tough judging!

 

[Cweener]

But I'm such a nice judge. D=

I'm gunna see if ap0 would be interested in judging this with me. :3

EDIT--
Ap0 says yes.

But we both still have to be approved by the contest host.

 

[GhostThruster]

Are you allowed to use already-made systems from another map of yours?

 

[NFWar]

I want to give it a try!

 

[Cweener]

Are you allowed to use already-made systems from another map of yours?

I would assume so. Just another system.
I mean...if you couldn't, then you couldn't use any systems.

 

[wolfman]

Are you allowed to use already-made systems from another map of yours?

Maps must be made for this contest and can not be work done prior to the start date.

Does that mean no? Or do systems not count as "work done prior to start date"

Anyways, i guess im in, heres my first WIP, got the movement and shooting stuff done
(up, down, left, right arrow keys used to move btw)

EDIT:
Updated WIP, new cool shrapnel bomb added

 

[GhostThruster]

Ok, thanks.

 

[-Bloody Hound-]

Im just gonna wish all of you good luck and to have fun with it !

 

[-Kobas-]

wolfman dummy units cost food.
Idea look cool btw.

 

[baassee]

Is Ap0 judging too? Sweet! Yet I hope not that you guys are way too detail freaks.

I have an idea but dunno if it's possible to put into action... And hopefully time will allow.

 

[The_Swamp_Warrior]

i am now joining.....With an epic idea

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

i am now joining.....With an epic idea

You say this in pretty much every contest
Yet you never join

 

[baassee]

WWTW, the stalker.

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Nah, It just seems in most contests within the first few pages he posts something like "I'm going to join," but never again posts in the thread.

 

[baassee]

I have been there too hehe. Yet now I'm more careful what I'm saying.

 

[Hemske]

Very fun contest, we warcraftplayers need some new maps to play . Looking forward to many great results!

 

[InfinateAnswers]

This will be an interesting contest. Good luck to you all.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I might consider joining if i have enough time during my upcoming vacation.
I already have an epic idea in mind
(It's original since it was only made ONCE before lol)

One word: [HIGHLIGHT]RACE[/code]
(Not like the Azeroth Grand Prix)

Good luck to all you guys, and plz, don't take my idea -.-

 

[Zeatherann]

FINALLY this got approved now i can start on my ideas, sadly it took so long i forgot most of em.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

I'm considering this. I do have a pretty good idea...

 

[Tleno]

Now I'm a bit busy at the moment, so I doubt I'll be able to partipiciate in the contest as I planned, but hope I'll get some time to make my map... hopefully... I just can't decide if I should work with one of m current ideas or if I should make a new one...

 

[Zeatherann]

Okay, i got my first WIP here...

Features destructible terrain, in a 2D environment.

 

[wolfman]

New WIP
Lemme know what ya think

Try killing yourself using the shrapnel bomb so you can become the mortar launcher

 

[Thrikodius]

How far are we allowed to spread this stuff? I have the funny lil problem that I can't host on bnet so I need someone else to help me test my betas.

 

[Arisato]

can i still join in

 

[GhostThruster]

You can join at any time until the end of the contest.
