Mini-Game Mapping Contest #5 - Defense

[Skasi]

Well I thought I'd wait for a newer version, since not even picking a hero works yet. Can I do anything other than killing waves of enemies with the tauren chief, bowser?

 

[bowser499]

Of course. You can control the creeps if you want to get more fun from this game. But to do this you need to play a multiplayer game
Picking a hero works but only Chaotic Mage (Kael model) can be picked now. After 15-16 hours there'll be another hero. And another. And after that you will be allowed to talk to the units that will inhabit this ruiny place to get help on how to defeat the bosses. Nice, isn't?

 

[Blazing_Legion]

here is my map so far i have 2 proper heroes 6 difficulties and 1 length i will add 2 more lengths and more heroes please give feedback and tell me of any bugs

 

[bowser499]

Some more updates are finally out! Even more will come soon!

MiniOaD v0.03:

- Chaos Qualify (Chaotic mage 1st skill) now works correctly.
- Now you can see the icon of picked hero in the multiboard.
- New hero added: Sacred Priest

• 
  Sacred Quest. Summons a holy angel that will heal all the units inside the area near him. The angel will heal all the allies for 130/160/190 HP and deal damage separated by the enemies. Maximal damage is equal to the amount of total heal of all allied heroes in range. Cooldown: 14 seconds.
• 
  Sacred Whispers. Whispers a word that will heal selected target for 210/250/290 HP. If there are nearby heroes from the target they will receive half or the heal. Cooldown: 22/20/18 seconds.
• 
  Sacred Enchant. Eleonora presents the targeted unit to the God himself. If the target is an ally, it will receive 135/150/165 HP. If the target is an enemy, it will be damaged for the half of the heal amount. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
• 
  Sacred Refresh. Eleonora combines her powers and summons a holy rain that heals 40/60/80 HP per second. Rain duration - 5 seconds. Cooldown: 25 seconds.

- Icons for the Chaotic Mage and Sacred Priest added.

Please test and leave me your comments.

Okay, bowser499, I know that Skill Names should go in parallel with Hero Class, but damn, you are going too much over the top by adding Hero's Subsclass to every single skill. Please take a look down here and tell me what's better:

Learns Sacred Quest, Sacred Whispers, Sacred Enchant, Sacred Refresh.
or
Learns Heavenly Touch, Chant of Altruism, Divine Atonement, Benediction.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Learns Heavenly Touch, Chant of Altruism, Divine Atonement, Benediction.

y u so creative

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

God knows what would happen if I join this contest sometimes. Um... wait. No, even He doesn't

 

[bowser499]

@Apheraz Lucent, I've done the names like this because of the hotkeys QWER

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I used this in my map, and it's quite functional, mostly because it stands out more than regular hotkeys:
Crystalline Wave (Q) - Level 1

 

[bowser499]

This looks so... defaultish xD

 

[Skasi]

Learns Sacred Heavenly Touch, Sacred Chant of Altruism, Sacred Divine Atonement, Sacred Benediction.

Ignore them, bowser. At least your chaotic heroes are chaotic and your sacred ones are sacred - every single inch of them!


And just a.. random.. gameplay shot. I already got more feedback in my project thread than here. So mean!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Skasi, I lol'd. But don't you know that maps have to be started from scratch... :/

 

[bowser499]

@Skasi, good river you got there Sorry for not commenting your project because I had a tons of hardwork with my MiniOaD... I'll test it and comment it now.
My Valkyrie will also be a good hero and I will release the final polished map there today.

 

[Vengeancekael]

4 days to go.

 

[Bannar]

Omg just 4 days to painful judging. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

God please save me from vengeance.

[Kino]

[Skasi]

Skasi, I lol'd. But don't you know that maps have to be started from scratch... :/

Why yes. I've started the thread 35 hours ago. Also yikes 4 days! It's good I've been near-final three days ago..

 

[baassee]

It's good I've been near-final three days ago..

And I'm still on terraining part... hehe "code will go as fast as light nat"

 

[Skasi]

Ah well I'm terraining every now and then too. Just cant hold myself when I see something that could look better. You'll have to help be fix all my leaks when the contest's over, baassee! I've read two threads on leaks and still aint sure I understand how WC3 handles things.

edit: Yay, I just finished fixing all known bugs. Guess I'll release my final soon.

 

[mckill2009]

lol!, this contest is getting more and more exciting coz deadline is so close...anyway, Im not gonna update my map anymore, I'll let the judges do their job!...XD...

 

[SA Dashie]

I may take the next 3 days off and do nothing to my entry because I can .

 

[baassee]

Sure why not

Remade my terrain a few times now, cannot find a fitting one with this theme combined with my idea... (defense goes with arena style? together with a touch of mini-game? hell no) will probably end as a failure and leave or as a typical defense thingie map... sigh *fail mode*

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Can't wait to put my paws up to your results... Mwahaha

 

[bowser499]

This is FINALLY OUT! MiniOaD v0.04b (was fixes after tests)

MiniOaD v0.04b:
- Deduct your way out to killing waves much more.
- New hero added: Valkyrie

• 
  Warfare Query. Summons 6/8/10 sharp blades spinning around the Valkyrie. When the blade collapses with an enemy, it will deal 60/90/120 damage. Duration: 12 seconds. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
• 
  Warfare Whip. Valkyrie deals deep slice into enemy's body and does very powerful strike, dealing 125/150/175 damage to the unit. The earth will tremble, dealing 80 damage to nearby enemies. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
• 
  Warfare Evaporation. Valkyrie uses her mastery to evade every 5th/4th/3rd attack and deal to the attacker half of damage dealt.
• 
  Warfare Rage. Valkyrie strikes to the targeted point, dealing 210/250/290 damage to every enemy she meets. Cooldown: 22 seconds.

- Valkyrie Icon:

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

You did a terrible mistake, the first ability has no Warfare in it's name.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Madness indeed.

 

[Tickles]

Don't let them mess with you, bowser. Here's a hero suggestion for you:

An Awesome Hero

Tickles
- Tickle Attack
- Tickle Tackle
- Tickle Slap
- Tickle Rage

Make sure Tickle Rage spams tickle all over the target's screen.

So kael, when the poll goes up, are you going to directly link entries to map downloads? Or are you going to link to the post we attached our maps to with any information given regarding the map?

 

[Vengeancekael]

To the posts with the files attached to them.

 

[bowser499]

Has someone tested 0.04b? o_0
By the way, I wanna add the last unavailable hero - the Lightning Rogue.

 

[Bannar]

Vengeancekael said that I'm judging poorly so I'm eliminated from being judge. Good luck to contestants.

I don't know what I've done to say about me judging poorly but my opinion will change nothing. Once again, good luck.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Dun dun dun dun.

Anyways, if anyone wishes to judge the contest, let me know.
We don't necessarily need another one, but it would be a plus.

Why can't you?...

 

[Kino]

REDONE WIPS

 

[Vengeancekael]

Why can't you?...

Busy with moderation&reports&drama&contest(as a contestant)

Also Kino, ah mah gad that looks awesome D:

 

[bowser499]

My comp is running again! Wheee!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Wait. I am judging two contests in a row as the only judge? Geez, that's a lot of pressure you know? Anyways, I can handle it, but I hope that someone can bump in for more randomized score-charts. Oh, and Kino, please use some terrain variations with tiles and heights, and don't just spam doodads around. I already linked you (correction: linked to all of you) two stunning tutorials that can increase your score up to 45 additional points, if used properly (Aesthetics & Polishing your Game).

 

[Vengeancekael]

I'm looking for other judges, don't worry my dear, you will not be left alone!
Also 2 days left.

 

[bowser499]

By the way, about Weekend Mapping Madness 2... Pyritie has retired, who will place the awards now?

 

[Vengeancekael]

It's gonna take some time, still, because he still has to teach the new arena mods how to do things and stuff and shit and boop.

 

[Skasi]

Oh my Kino!! I so much preferred your other wips over the new ones. It looked more cozy and less.. umm scary. I hope you didn't scrap them as a whole.

 

[baassee]

I can skip my entry as I cannot fit any terrain to fit my theme with a mini-game related (supposed to be small and at the same time not small?) and with two days left I'm definitely out. Count me in. Although judging terrain might not be my best side (you know me) but I do know my coding...

 

[SA Dashie]

Here's the updated pic of my last that I was meaning to do a thew days ago but I forgot
Note: This is only a sample of the terrain.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Py will have a hard time to find proper persons I guess. Anyways, the results. If Py doesn't find someone in time, would you like me to get the results and calculations, like I am doing at SSC #7?

 

[Kino]

please use some terrain variations with tiles and heights

Theres plenty of it, infact too much for my liking. You just cant see it when the camera so far zoomed out.

Oh my Kino!! I so much preferred your other wips over the new ones. It looked more cozy and less.. umm scary. I hope you didn't scrap them as a whole.

Actually I scrapped the old one because the gameplay was god awful boring and very buggy at the same time.

 

[Vengeancekael]

I can do the calculations!
Also baassee, if you wanna be a judge, review this first: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/diablo-iii-bastions-keep-v-1-02-a-192356/

Challenged accepted although you shouldn't pick a map coded by a HW friend

 

[Vengeancekael]

Do it anyway ;D

 

[Kino]

2 Questions.

1) Are we allowed to use public code resoruces? ie. damage detect etc.

2) In the rules it is stated that the map has to be submitted before the final dateline. Does that mean I have to submit a WIP even if its not finished?

 

[bowser499]

call SummonUser(Vengeancekael,DontKillPlease) // ;D

By the way, let v0.04b be my final version, okay?
