The contestants need to create one boss fight for 1 player. The boss must have two phases, and the contestant needs to make exactly 1 class/hero for the player. The hero MUST have custom abilities (no reskinned default abilities or whatever). There will be a focus on visual and audial representation.
- All submissions and all resources contained within the map must adhere to all of Hiveworkshop's rules.
- You cannot start working on your submission before the contest has officially started.
- You must post at least 3 Work-in-Progress media (images/videos) that clearly show your progress.
- You must state in your bundle's description whether your map is designed for SD or HD. If the game version is not current, it must be stated.
- There must be a respawn system in place so you don't have to restart the map if you die.
- You may not use a map template or open source map from the map section.
- You may not use any spell resources from the spells section. Exceptions are systems like Bribe's damage engine, knockback or similar.
- Your map must be; Bug-free with absolutely NO game breaking bugs, lag free on up to date gaming computers(slight lag is acceptable in cinematics), periodic timers and other high frequency triggers must be leak free. Icons, models and textures must be properly imported and optimized for Warcraft 3 (No green icons or wow models with messed up animations etc).
- The submission must be unprotected so that it's openable via the normal WorldEditor.
- Teamwork - physically working on someone else's entry - is not allowed.
- Feedback and testing aren't considered teamwork and are welcome.
- Judges may not participate.
Breaking any of these rules may lead to punishment in the judgement score, up to disqualification from the contest, depending on the weight of the issue. In case of doubts towards a certain rule, you are very encouraged to discuss it in the contest thread so others and judges may help with sorting it out.
