[Chen]

I Heard of Columns, Who Want 'Em

WIP:

It's very Column-y this time. Who don't like it?

 

[Binsu]

Work in Progress #1 [WiP #1]

• So here is my very first WiP. The screenshot shows the very first place on my map where the first cinematic will take place.
  
• You are a Thug prisoned at the Castle, the other Prisoners which are the Bandits that are with you decided to help you gain your freedom by distracting the Guards outside the Cell and make a mess, now this gives you the chance to escape the Prison Cell and complete the first step of your great Escape. Now it is up to you on how you will make your great escape knowing that the Bandits have helped you complete the first step.

Click to open!

 

[Rheiko]

That's the prison? Too expensive for low-life being such as bandits to be kept in there
Honestly it shouldn't be castle but dungeon.. Other than that looks good

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Yeah, forget about any of my former entries...

Is working in the story and ideas with my brother considered prohibited for this contest? I will make all the stuff, he is just helping with the concept.

A video for my second WIP with most of what I've completed so far.

 

[Rheiko]

that's so cool, i believe you have 90% chance to won this contest =P

Edit:
By the way, here are my WIP
nevermind about my older post, i will try to post WIP when i'm free

Edit2:
sorry for the third screenshot, i was in a hurry so i didn't crop it properly

Edit3:
This will offer boss fight. You have to kill the Demon Lord and in the end you have to escape the citadel
to open the Demon Lord's throne room, you have to find and step on Circle of Power to open the door and to find the Circle of Power you have to fight bosses and there is an obstacle to make a way to the circle of power

Edit4:
too much edit =.='
i'm really messed up today

Looking pretty great so far.
You should make so that you can walk horizontally and vertically as well. I would find it annoying to move as only limited to moving on the X and Y directions.

I should really learn some time how to create models as well.

...By the way, here are my WIP...

I'm definitely licking the scenery that you shown.


Oh yeh and I haven't been able to really start my entry yet.
The pressure of school and friends doesn't give me enough time to get things organized.
I will be able to start properly in a thew weeks I believe.

 

[bowser499]

I smell the lack of diagonal moving in Tickles' map.

 

[Rheiko]

DeathChef, i don't get it

Not to sure what to tinker out of this, but I got some cool ideas.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Well PROXY, first thing that pops into my head when I see your pic is some sand-desert-wind spirit-demon roothlesly slaughtering anyone who dares enter his domain... But then again, I am a sick man

 

[Tickles]

Or escaping a giant sand worm hellbent on making you its delicious midnight snack after you get separated from your group.

I remember something like this in Jedi Academy... This is quite a good idea actually

God how much have I hated that part ;_;

I'll see what pops up in my mind, I really like how the terrain goes.

 

[Chen]

Dungeon? Prison? What could I call my map if not tower? It's wide and really couldn't be considered a tower.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Allright, these are the guys who will help you trough my map

Mercenaries

4 more models have been finished today, meaning 8/9 character models are done Soon, modeling will be more or less finished, and the real map-making will start

 

[Rheiko]

that guy in the middle looks weird because of his weapon
is that a girl in the right? looks pretty with her helmet, dunno if she took off her helmet though =P

The weapon is a Bardiche, its just caught in a bad angle. It's an edit of the Arthas model.

Yeah it's a girl on the right

 

[Zenonoth]

Is there a problem if the map is singleplayer?

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Is there a problem if the map is singleplayer?

No My map will be SP too

 

[Chen]

Is there a problem if the map is singleplayer?

Me too.

 

[Daffa]

It ain't matters.
But Multiplayer maps can get additional "cookies". (If you know what I mean).

 

[Rheiko]

where's your WIP daffa?

btw, i think i'll change my entry.. i have a better idea, but i hope i can make it on time

 

[Lordkoon]

Have you forgot about me wretches?Bashanofanofala!
I am joining this contest. My entry will of corse touch the dark corners of the gaming and will utilize the dusty Xenomorphs models from Alien. Hopefully I will get a screenshot wips by the mid of this week.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

Just a quick note:

99% of all models in my map are custom-made for this contest. Is that a problem?

If you made them, it's fine.

 

[Lordkoon]

If you made them, it's fine.

What do you mean if he made them? Can't we use custom models?
It is said in the first post that custom models can be used as long as their creators are credited. Have I been scrapping futuristic models for two days for nothing?

 

[-Kobas-]

I have already answered to this question like 10 times.
You can only use models that are public resources or models you create.
You can't request model for your project only because it will be same as teamwork.

 

[Daffa]

Put it in the first post and nobody will ask again I hope.
Basically, I can get the main points are :
1. All Public Resources (the ones at THW Resources Section) May used for the contest.
2. Participants may not request models/skins/icons/spells/system specifically for his entry, as that's considered as cheating.

 

[GreeN!X]

Okay....

Well, I had to make my map all over again today cause my last map got corrupted for some reason. Here's some new wips. I guess this would be my last wip before the final entry even though I still have a lot more stuff to do in the map.

Nicely done Hera. It seems like a puzzle game is going on there.

 

[-Kobas-]

Just to inform you, Hell_Master will be our 2nd judge.

 

[Rheiko]

i thought he will participate as contestant..
anyway, i won't participate in this contest anymore, no time to work on my entry.. so good luck for the other contestant..

 

[SA Dashie]

I should probably be able to start my entry in a week or so.

 

[Tickles]

My map seemed a little too slow-paced, so I've been messing around with combat mechanics and came up with this in my test map. I'll have to redo most of my entry to fit the combat system, but I figure this will be a pretty cool concept to work with

Arrow keys allow vertical, horizontal and diagonal movement while bulldozing through hordes of enemies. Right mouse button fires ranged weapons or swings melee attacks in the direction of the click.

 

[Rheiko]

cool

hm, you could fire at different direction while the unit facing another direction?

 

[Tickles]

The character can be facing any direction and will instantly turn to whichever direction you right-click to attack.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Don't mind me, just stress testing my projectile system.

screenie

My map will be either about escaping from mortars, or being the mortar user to stop escaping enemies.

It'll probably be very similar to my map, Mortar Run. Is this allowed? All code will be written from scratch, I'll just be recycling some ideas.

Unique ideas (as long I have right to vote) will be much more rewarded.

In the previous contest, originality was 30% of the score. Will this one be different?

EDIT: Of course, I will be adding new ideas and such. Making an identical rehash is pointless after all.

EDIT2: If anyone wants to have some fun terraforming, attached is the mortar testing in action.
With the hero selected, right click on the ground to fire.

 

[-Kobas-]

Instead of checking ground Z, check Z of dummy before you move it, then if needed
increase or decrease it's Z to create perfect parabola that will ignore terrain cliffs and
other obstacles.

Yeah, fixed it.

Problem was the dummy unit had flying instead of crow form.

I've made loads of these systems before, thanks for the feedback though

EDIT: Query regarding the no teamwork rule.
In the interest of originality, I might rather do a map about running away from spreading creep. Someone was kind enough to make a model that I needed for this ( http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/requests-341/simple-doodad-request-zerg-creep-244240/ ). Would this be allowed?

I guess its best that the judges answer this.
However, in my opinion, if it was requested before the contest started, it can't be considered teamwork, therefore it should be allowed.



I am finishing my first riddle, so a quick check-in from me...
After seeing all of the current wip entries, I kinda feel a need to make my map stand out with something. And that is mainly going to be interactability with the environment.

EDIT: First puzzle mechanics are finished, it should pretty much work now...
But I encountered a problem I can't make a unit have negative flying height trough triggers. So, does anyone have a solution for this, so I don't have to make a falling animations for every character, please?

By the way, this is just the mechanics of the puzzle. A lot more is going to be included in it in future.

EDIT2: Do not download that map, wrong upload. Damn, that's embarrassing -_-'

 

[rulerofiron99]

Two things off the top of my head:
1. Use doodads for the ground.
2. Give the unit a default negative height, create a new unit to replace the old one when you want it to be lowered, and then instantly raise it to (previous height) - (change)

I already did 1.
I will try 2.

Thanks
