Mini-Game Mapping Contest #3 - Minicraft

[TDA]

To bad I'm only at around 30%

 

[Cweener]

C'mon everybody! The deadline is rapidly approaching!

 

[InfinateAnswers]

only like 2 weeks left.

 

[ap0calypse]

For those who keep procrastinating: the deadline is tomorrow. And tomorrow will be there sooner than you think.

It says 4th of May? :I

Edit: Oh wait, was that some rush-on advice?

 

[ap0calypse]

Indeed it was ^^

That's something I'd like to keep in the back of my head when I'm working on a project: the more time you have, the more you will procrastinate.
So I say the deadline is tomorrow, because otherwise you'd wait until you really only have a few days left (well, I'm like that).

 

[InfinateAnswers]

alot of it is a subconscious thing, the more time you have, the less priority it feels like it has.

 

[.VTZ.]

98% you bastard's

 

[Zeatherann]

Ok, I'm alike and well, except for school.

I'm scrapping my entire design for Pocket Tanks, and am starting my own Vampirism map. To fit the minigame design however it's a smaller version, and Score is earned based on how long you survive in the given round, each round lasting until the last human dies and becomes a vampire. The vampire is chosen randomly each round. Each round is considered a RM of the game, and each round should only last at the most 30 minutes.

A twist is that zombies can also build a base to make the destruction of the humans easier. When your a zombie and if you die you will be given a wisp on the spot you died at to move around to respawn, much like in Left For Dead 2.

WIP tomorrow, this time for real.

 

[SA Dashie]

I might join considering that I nether released any of my mini games and this might be the chance for me to stop procrastinating into not doing one ;D. This should be the chance to create a mini game.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

it cant have been worked on before this time, u have to start a new file

 

[Elvendan]

So I have to post a WIP map today?

 

[InfinateAnswers]

you have till the 3rd to post a WIP

 

[Elvendan]

Oh. Thanks, I'll finish the map first then.

 

[ap0calypse]

Remember not to overwrite/delete those WIPs then ^^
(And it's best to show a WIP before the 4th of May, as the contest ends then).

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I might join, since I got an idea for one. About seals.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Oh. Thanks, I'll finish the map first then.

you HAVE to show a WIP of your uncompleted map before you finish the map or it does not qualify. I told you this 3 times already

 

[Elvendan]

Maybe my english is too bad because I didn't get it before, what a shame. Excuse me for that.
So, is an early WIP with only terrain and basic triggers alright?

 

[.VTZ.]

woow dmg balance and toltips are so booooooooring
maybe 40 min to finish mine map

EDIT: hehe,
well, time to lunch (dam, i'm hungry)
and about 10 min left, for map instructions and some triggers fixes

 

[InfinateAnswers]

oah nice i want wait =P

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Yes, just post what you have. That's a WIP.

Make sure you make it good. A 40 minute map sounds a bit rushed, but who knows.

Just saying. You still have two weeksish left. So feel free to take a little bit longer.

 

[Elvendan]

So here comes the WIP. It's an early alpha with only terrain and basic triggers done - it has no interesting features at all.

 

[.VTZ.]

hehehe 40min to 'edit' mine map
1 week / almost 150 hours editing
btw, now i'm posting a 'Map description' here, and i will finish mine job
but thanks for your tip cweener

cweener i have a problem, maybe i have one wow ripped model inside mine map, you want me to protect the map?

 

[Cweener]

Ohhhh! That's better then!
No problem.


Yikes. A wow model rip is not allowed in a map....at least that's how it worked for uploaded maps.

Not sure as far as maps in a contest go.
I wouldn't imagine it's allowed though...

 

[.VTZ.]

@Zeatherann
what you think?
can i use the model and protect mine map?
(its a very important/realistic model for me) a cute tarantula model xD

(PS: i'm not ignoring Cweener's tip, im just asking)

 

[InfinateAnswers]

I think its fine as long as all credits are given to the right people. Although since its a wow rip... You'd have to ask the person who approved this contest (pyrite probably)

ok, i will PM him
thank you

 

[Kwah]

No you cannot use WoW model rips in any resources uploaded to THW. This is the sites policy.

Please see: this

I might make something for this contest.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Thats what i thought, sorry VTZ ull have to use a lame hive model =P

 

[ap0calypse]

>___>

Since when does protecting a map help against model rips?
No: they're not allowed (and not just from WoW: any model ripped from a game, unless it was completely open source, is not allowed).

 

[.VTZ.]

@Kwah - Ok Kwah thanks for the info
@InfinateAnswers - yeah lets find a lame low poly count model
@ap0calypse - yep , sorry apocalypse, i will find another model, i just wanted to highlight the quality and reality of the map
about the map protection, Rui says to do not to distribute sites / links / maps and unprotected here in the hive.
check mine ' Latest Reputation Received ' xD

Btw thanks you all and happy eastern
(wow i will need to make another icon request :x)

 

[InfinateAnswers]

Why would you have to request a new icon?

 

[.VTZ.]

Why would you have to request a new icon?

"i just wanted to highlight the quality and reality of the map "
im using some custom icons
btw, i edited a normal warcraft 3 spider to 'Looks like a tarantula'
becams pretty cool

I don't use nothing like that... x( Well I have to show here the beta version to prove that the map is from my own, so...

 

[Zeatherann]

Yea WoW rips are against site rules. Protecting your map might cause your score to go down.

Anyways, my WIP:

Edit, new WIP.

Mmm... I didn't see that rule. And well, that's only a WIP, and I don't want the people see the mistakes of my Beta. And so... You are intrested in my work? Don't be impatient, the alpha version will be unprotected...

 

[.VTZ.]

@Zeatherann - yep, thats why i ask
nice map btw, looks like vampirism right?

@KayS - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/faq/realfaq/#faq_wowmodels
when i said "i just wanted to highlight the quality and reality of the map ", I mean that the icons / templates / ui / models of warcraft are repetitive and without quality. Btw: nice map, why someone does not believe that you were the owner of the map?
Off-topic: can you give me that 3dsmax5 tutorial?

 

[x3GlikE]

Can the map be protected or not?

 

[Zeatherann]

Yes it can, but it may or may not cause you to have a lower score.

Vamps inspired my map hehe, but i didn't want't to be 'just another vamp' map, so i changed a few things. Still is probably a vamp clone, but that's for you to decide, i hope i can make it different enough to get a good score in originality.

 

[.VTZ.]

ahhhhhhhhhhh finally
my map is ready, i will upload soon,
time to pause for a moment

 

[Zeatherann]

I'm adding melee AI to my map now, it's not too hard but it's not too great at playing. Builds a nice base though.

Edit: Added AI, has errors, could anyone help me understand why? (i feel it's a general AI error, and is not map spacific)

 

[Gekigengar]

deadline is coming, i can't wait to try the mini-games !

i wish the contest doesn't restrict 2mb limits D:

i would ve joined in Dx

 

[SA Dashie]

Ok this is all I had time in the past couple of days because i was doing things
WIP no.1 War Carts.
Current features are 3D Bridging and pipe teleporting!enjoy =D.
Original Idea from Mario Carts.

I will appreciate any feed back.

 

[gtsimos]

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? =[

paint thing was good DDDDDD

 

[Garfield1337]

I'll most likely not finish the map before the deadline, getting into complicated problems that require time to solve :S

paint thing was good DDDDDD

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Just got back from vacation, let's see if I have enough time to get an entry in....

 

[.VTZ.]

WARNING HUGE IMAGE

few things:
Q: How many players?
A: For now, 1x1, but i can edit the terrain and add more players (no AI ,sorry)

Q: How can i win the game?
A: Dominating the first ant colony (it has a special bond with all other (yeah is sounds gay )

Q: this map does not appear to be a mini-game to me u.u'
A: I made ​​this map because I'm not an expert in triggers (ZOMG BOUNCE, MISSILES, SLIDING THINGS, F***ING MATH THINGS,PARABOLA, vJASS DARK MAGICs, 2D PLATAFORM TRIGGERs) , so I made ​​this statement based on the original game, but I believe it has factors of a mini-game [CMON 150 hours editing ;(]
As InfinateAnswers says: Simplicity's is My Specialty

Q: why 'NO PONNIES'
A: because insects is WINNING!, and WINNING! is to have insects on the map, and not ponies

IF POSSIBLE, PLZ SEND ME A REPLAY TRAILER VIDEO, I WANT SEE YOU GUYS FIGHTING!!!BLOOD111!!iiiillllll||
[RAINBOW]I hope you guys enjoy the map, send me feedbacks,
