Mini-Game Mapping Contest #5 - Poll

[Skasi]

All maps work for me perfectly well, I just had to shorten three or so file names a little.

mckill2009, I just wanted to make clear why there's a target-able and a non-target-able version. I myself use both and understand when some people don't. I'm feeling a bit unworthy of your vote since you just got to test two entries.

 

[Kino]

I reduced file size by 2 letters, folder 3-5 letters only, still nothing happened...

All maps work for me perfectly well, I just had to shorten three or so file names a little.

Filename length is clearly not the issue here since one of the maps you claimed could work had the longest file name of all the entries.

Anyway Im gonna vote for Dark Vestige.
For me it was either that or Wisp Tale or Stags on the Run. All three had great ideas and innovative gameplay. However Dark Vestige im my opinion is more polished and gameplay wise, more fun and challening. It is that for me that sets it apart from the other two. And so I will vote Dark Vestige.

 

[Vengeancekael]

3 days left to vote!

 

[Skasi]

Onooez! Which one to vote for! Worldshaper is too hard to really get into, SOTR is a bit simple, Dark Vestige's super original but kinda big 'n' doesn't feel very defenseish. Didn't test the MP only maps and the others are all very nice but feel a tad incomplete. Must test 'em all again and again and again.

When will the judges judge?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

My results will be available as soon as the poll ends, delivered to Kael. Then it's up to baassee to go with his judging, if he hasn't already.

 

[Vengeancekael]

And looks like the poll is closed. Expect the results in a few days. Also baassee SAY SOMETHING

 

[Skasi]

Geez, but you said 3 days left.. I will never ever listen to you again!

Oi and Tickles, you could also just set gold and lumber variables as soon as they change, not every X seconds. And instead of using variables you can simply use a message event trigger to immediately revert the cheat.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I just hope that baassee will not be an idiot and quit now.
Besides, Kael, the announcement "Contest has begun" is still there. Why haven't you asked Phar or Py to get the "Poll opened" announcement? Too late now, thought.

 

[Vengeancekael]

What do you mean? They did make the poll announcement I still have it.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I don't. Weird :S
Maybe I have closed it accidentally -,,-

 

[mckill2009]

still no review from judges?...

 

[baassee]

I just hope that baassee will not be an idiot and quit now.

A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.

still no review from judges?...

Relax. I'm just in the shadows...

Got all maps now, and the time of this post will be 13:37. Bye.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

GMT time, 11:55 AM.
Heading to get you some judgin' work.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Apheraz you can send me your reviews if you want.

 

[Vengeancekael]

baassee:

Anyway I got more exams for the next 2 upcoming days and I will be free from duty thursday and friday. SO my point here is that my review will come at the latest this weekend but probably friday morning. And blame on me if anyone asks about the delay! And maybe quote this message...

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Um... damn. I will maybe be late, too, I have my project to blaim & my boyfriend, but I will finish before baassee.

 

[Vengeancekael]

my boyfriend

Waaaaait so are you 2 really irl friends? If so, then Justin approves.

 

[baassee]

but I will finish before baassee.

You wish.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Not Drake, lol. We are in online marriage.

Baassee...

But be warned, cuz...

 

[Bugz]

Lol, nice to see some rivalry =), as long as it deals to faster judging

 

[baassee]

Lol, nice to see some rivalry =), as long as it deals to faster judging

My judging will not be faster though but I've already got opinions from multiplayer games so now it's just details on my part (like cooooooooooooode yeah wooh awesome).

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I am going crazy. My judgement for one map lengths 1200 words or 5000 characters. Damn

 

[Skasi]

Yeah and we only had a week.. pff.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Just wait till I come to your map
'Kidding

 

[Skasi]

The other voters don't have a good taste anyway. The best map's clearly Kino's, even with those nice circles just being silly spawn points. Even with the insane difficulty. Even with the many typos. And then there is the fact that it's just some stupid spawn points and.. friggin' hard and the typos and spawn points. Not to mention the high difficulty and typos. Yeah and the circles being just spawn points. I hope I did not forget anything.

Also my map needs a hardcore mode without respawns!!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Well, Skasi, everybody has it's opinion about one's map. Thought it was plain, i liked the fun ltkp's map provided me.

 

[SA Dashie]

The think in my map that is flawed the most is the grammar.
I wish that I reread all of the text stuff that I did in my map and fixed them xD.

 

[Pharaoh_]

You may want to address ideas or comments in this thread: Paired Mapping Contest #6.

You can always fix it after the contest and upload it to the map section.

 

[baassee]

That poll didn't last for long now did it? Currently playing around now and guess what? I already have some nasty comments for all your maps naow

 

[Vengeancekael]

I must say, Dark Vestige is quite interesting. The controls are a bit clunky though.

 

[Tickles]

It was definitely a unique and original concept. I wish he spent more time on it, but thankfully maps can always be worked on after the contest too.

Does that mean you're almost done?

The controls are a bit clunky though.

If by clunky you mean all over the place, then yeah.... The main problem I noticed when testing it was the use of the mouse. The hotkeys for skills were meant to cover up to 12 abilities in order starting from Q to V. I'll work on a way to use skills like Energy Sample without using the mouse.

 

[Vengeancekael]

@Apheraz, baassee, how's it going?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I've reviewed all maps. Now I'm improving my lame reviews, so let's say that I'm about 70% done, and I'm speeding up pretty much, since I have a little bit of more free time now when my bf is out of town.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Sounds good C:
Also I really do hope that some of you guys improve your works and upload them in the maps section, like Dark Vestige, it's a pretty cool idea, just needs more content and some minor improvements.

 

[Sorceress]

Awh...
I really wanted to be a Judge on this
Contest..

 

[baassee]

@Apheraz, baassee, how's it going?

Kind of done in 1-2 hour/s. Polishing. Forgot the object data category... hehe

 

[Vengeancekael]

I've got baassee's judging.

 

[Bugz]

Then the results are getting up?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Still need Apheraz' judging.

 

[bowser499]

Apheraz, do the judgement do it doo it (no flame ofc)

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I don't get it what you tried to wrote, bowser.

You will have my results soon, I just got home from a double work shift, starting with a graveyard one, and I haven't got any strength, but I will work on this, for you. My Will will be enough, I think.

 

[Bugz]

For jesus christ let's hope, just dont hurry and keep up the quality as always!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

You know that I always give my best on visual feeling.

 

[Vengeancekael]

You know that I always give my best on visual feeling.

I couldn't keep a straight face.

Anyways, take your time.

 

[baassee]

YAY I WON! even when I screwed my timeline! but I guess life happens to everybody (I also got work this weekend and such)

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

It's not about life, it's about a week full of graveyard and morning shifts linked together. I am totally fucked up, I got my eyes all red, and the eye bags down to my knees. One more to go, thought. I saved you, bowser, for the grand finale

x)

 

[Vengeancekael]

Anytime Apheraz. C:

 

[bowser499]

So... uhm... is the contest alive?

 

[Vengeancekael]

It's over.

I'm just waiting for Apheraz' reviews.
