Mini-Game Mapping Contest #4 - Puzzle & Mystery

[fladdermasken]

Perhaps I ought to participate. Don't know why I ought to, but what the hell. Can't do much properly besides terraining.

finally i can think of a mysterious story to my map until now i was just placing random events and hoped i would later find out a story for them im just not sure if i can represent the whole story in such a small map, probably id need to cut it...
how are you guys going with it? isnt it quite hard to create a mystery while still seizing it into a small map?

 

[Figueiredo00]

Map Size (not file size), won't matter, but it may affect your score in the "Going Green" field. Also, the file size must be under 8 MB. The lower the file size, the greater your score in the "Going Green" field. For example, an awesome TD that's barely 600 KB would get a high score in that field

if you are having problem with a small map, you should try create a bigger one.

well, my map has a medium size, so im not having much problem with that, the scenario is divided into rooms, like "The Cube" movie, sometimes with traps, and some times with puzzles. so basically is a medium map with many mini-games (not so many, it will probably 7-10)

 

[Magtheridon96]

To clear up all the misconceptions, the Going Green field has to do with how well you used the space in your map.
A map that's large and has a lot of empty -> Low score
A map that's small, but too dense -> Low score only if that affects gameplay
A map of any size with just the right mapdensity -> Good score

 

[Ahimtar]

LOL. im going on a holiday tommorow and until 12th july i wouldnt work with pc - but i was too worried with my half of the map, so i worked on it the whole day and somehow finished it today

The Plagium v 1.0
here is the download, ill probably look on it after and maybe even reupload newer version after the holiday, but if not, this is quite complete

edit: ok, i realised there are a few small bugs, ill try to remove them when i come back

 

[Magtheridon96]

@Ahimtar:
I played the map. (I stopped after a troll killed me )
Tips:
- Don't give ANY of the doodads in the middle of the room collision (a pathing map)
- When we rescue the Archmage, you should give truesight around him
- Don't use Do Nothing God Dammit!!
- You should improve the terrain :/

 

[Figueiredo00]

Ok guys, finally got some new ideas for the map, finishing some triggers for the puzzles, Probably a Demo tomorrow.

and what about you guys, any news so far?

 

[Jazztastic]

I've put my map on the back-burner to hero contest #4. All I have done is 1/2 the maps terrain, so I don't think I'm going to be finishing this. I'll gladly give you feedback on your figueirdo once you upload a demo

Good luck in the Hero contest ^^

and thank you, i would like to see what do you think about my map

 

[Jazztastic]

Well put the map up you hoser

 

[mckill2009]

I think this is my FINAL entry...

EDIT: Updated minor bug
- Blink ability should no tbe there, so it's removed now
- Pings removed for more challenge
- Boss's level reduced

 

[Garfield1337]

I think this is my FINAL entry...

Final entry?
You should really improve terrain, it's just some blizzard cliffs that form some narrow paths.
This looks similar to your bomberman map, i really don't see much puzzles and no mystery at all
The gameplay is too repetitive, you just plant bombes and ensnare enemies when they come close.

- Yes it's my final submission, I may fail in terraining but let the judges decide...
- My bomberman project doesnt have bosses and other abilities, plus the enemies doesnt attack...
- As for mystery, well, you're caught in a surprise, then it's a mystery...

 

[Skycraft]

You still got more than a fortnight to go, keep working on it.
You can do better then that.

 

[Figueiredo00]

Ok guys, WIP TIme, my work is something like 40 % now, but im not sure yet, maybe i did only 30 %.

posting the map, i want some feedbacks, impressions, everything.

and i post another picture of the terrain, and the concept. ^^

i hope you enjoy it, im not sure yet if everything is working properly.

the only thing that i know is: you can kill the units of your ally (grey).
i will fix it for the final entry tho.

if you have any problem solving the puzzles, i can help ^^
save the game often, you will probably die . If any of your soldiers die , you lose (you need all of them to finish the puzzles).

 

[indomitable1319]

Gotta work on mine. Argh.

 

[Magtheridon96]

Gotta work on mine. Argh.

xD Don't worry, you have like 2 weeks (a fortnight xD)

Yes it's my final submission, I may fail in terraining but let the judges decide...

You do know that terraining is practically one of the only 3 things I have to consider right?
Triggers don't matter at all
As long as they're bugless and almost leakless

As for mystery, well, you're caught in a surprise, then it's a mystery...

I'll be the JUDGE of that
Get it?
See what I did there?
It's a pun


edit
mckill, I can't play the game. You need to set the Computer Player's team to Team2 or else the map wouldn't play

@mckill:
O_O
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many bugs O.O
1- I won the entire game by blinking to the boss
2- The boss is way too hard to beat
3- I blinked out of the boss room, died, and stayed at level 10
etc..

You do know that terraining is not the only thing to consider?...I expect 0/10 for terraining ...

About the blink, I forgot to remove it coz It's not suppose to be one of his abilities, it's just there for testing purposes, anyway I've disabled it now...some minor updates I already done...

[SA Dashie]

I've worked hard on my map and is pretty much done except a thew things and also have added alot and will like some feed back or anything useful really. I hope you enjoy and hope it is fully functional in multiplayer
Also not sure about how people will like it as I have experimented with the map alot.

 

[Magtheridon96]

@Mckill:
Two LAST bugs:
- Can't play it outside World Editor
- When I walk over a dead spider, I shouldn't die

Oh and PLEASE decrease the range you have to be within a spider/mouse >.<
I kept dying :L

Also, for TimedBoomer:
call SetTextTagText(tag, R2S(R2I(duration)), 0.025)
->
call SetTextTagText(tag, I2S(R2I(duration)), 0.025)



edit
Oh and you should also give us truesight around all units (I've died for no reason like 12 times )

 

[Figueiredo00]

. I'll gladly give you feedback on your figueirdo once you upload a demo

im waiting

Does anyone tested my map ? what do you guys think ? i would like to receive some feedback

It's somehow hard and easy at same time.
It's really hard for 1st try.
But really easy for 2nd

 

[Jazztastic]

I've had multiple peoples at my house a few days. I'll try to check it out by tomorrow.

 

[mckill2009]

@Mags
That's so impossible coz I've tried that many times, what version of WE you're using?...
also, the spiders, I just edit it in the object editor, cant raise cant cant decay so I dont get it why your unit dies...
about the range, I will change it...

Oh and you should also give us truesight around all units (I've died for no reason like 12 times )

you cant die 12 times coz the max life is just 5 unless you use your ultimate ...

 

[Figueiredo00]

thank you for testing.
well, i think this is a good thing, now i can increase the difficulty level for the next puzzles ;D

mckill , i think the problem with the spiders, its not the decay and such, but the death time. all the units have a 3 seconds death time, changed to 1, or something like that, or make the spiders explode, and i think the problem will be solved. { Art- Death time (seconds) }

and he can test your map in the WE, the problem is test the map inside the warcraft , without a enemy team , the game cannot be started.

 

[KayS]

Ok... That's all I can show for now

 

[Magtheridon96]

@Figueiredo:
I tested your map. I'm actually very pleased
The terrain is amazing and it fits the theme perfectly
The themes are reflected perfectly
etc..

 

[Jazztastic]

@Figueiredo, the terrain is beautiful, and the extreme darkness (cleverly used to mirror the rough edges in catacombs, good old day and night models) create an intense mystery atmosphere. But due to wc3's shitty lighting the first cinematic had a spot where the light caught on the tile.

The game was too hard at the start. I got a warrior stuck in the middle of a fight and couldn't move his ass at all. Either make an ability to make the warriors phasable (go thru other units), or balance the game so it is easier and my dudes don't get stuck.

Overall it was nice. Finish it and I'm waiting for this gem

im glad that you guys liked
i really appreciate your feedback
I hope i can finish it in time... too much stuff to do yet.

about the warriors, i can reduce the collision size of the units to allow them to move swiftly. Also , i can delay the enemy attack when you get to that room in order to make the things more easily, and to have more time to react.

Ok... That's all I can show for now

Your terrain looks incredible. very different than your first wip

[Figueiredo00]

Hold your breath

 

[Jazztastic]

@Figuieredo, interesting

Btw I love your sig. My favorite episode of ghost in the shell

 

[KayS]

Only one problem to solve, another room, a final cinematic, and the alfa will be here...

 

[Magtheridon96]

Guys, I'm going to be in Turkey soon (July 18-July 25), and since I just might not get a computer with me there, I probably won't be able to judge the contest directly after the deadline, but don't worry, I'll be here on July 26, but don't be alarmed, I'm going to start reviewing any complete maps if anyone's interested just so I can speed up the process.
McKill's map has been judged already in some areas and Figueiredo's map
I hope this won't be an inconvinience :/

 

[PROXY]

Meh, sadly i won't Be able to finish in Time, i'm on holiday Till 23rd.

 

[Zanar]

Since my last WIP I wasn't doing much on my map but today I spent 3 hours working on it and made 1 puzzle (lol).

Ooh! so good Zanar, the camera was more comfortable than I thought, but the light is still a problem for me, find the 4 books in that darkness was impossible, I had to use the "Iseedeadpeople" to find it. And good idea the fact of have to read the four books in front of the gate

But I think that this is a little piece work compared with the other entrys Good luck!

@Figuieredo, interesting

Btw I love your sig. My favorite episode of ghost in the shell

almost finishing the disease puzzle right now, it's much better than i expected , i had some new ideas in the process that made the whole thing better ;D

and about Ghost in the shell, Yeah, one of the best episodes of the serie , and one of the best's animes that i watched. that scene where the Major uses the gun of Saito against that armored suit was epic too

@GamerCreutz

Thank you for testing
im increasing the difficult of the game gradually, and maybe tomorrow i can release a second version.


@Zanar

I tested your map something about 5 times. Use the books to complete the puzzle was a nice touch
but , as before, your units start walking correctly , however, somehow the animation gets stuck in a odd loop.

i dont know how to fix it, i can't even create this kind of system of movimentation, just reporting the bug that i found.
