Mini-Mapping Contest: Farming

Mini-Mapping Contest: Farming

Farming
Contestants are required to create a mini-map which has something to do with farming(planting and caring for animals to get their produce). That also kinda makes you feel like a real farmer, you need to do hard work for stuff, like for milking cows, you need to push buttons. Sounds are also encouraged. Secrets are also encouraged, like secret quests, items or other stuff

Tips
For some ideas look at Harvest Moon Games.
Suggestions: cooking, tv in the house, house renovation, relationship status, marriage, horse racing, many plants, weed, rocks and sticks, that need to be removed to plant. Shops to improve stuff, you get[ sick when you work too much

Contest Rules And Conditions
The map may not be protected!
No submission may violate any of the site rules.
If a submission does not follow the map submission rules the creator will be disqualified.
All submissions must follow the current theme. If any model does not fit, a moderator will tell you as soon as possible as to avoid confusion.
Your submission must be posted before the deadline. The post containing your final submission must also contain the following:
Several screenshots of terrain and gameplay.
The file in the appropriate format.
You must show at least one unfinished preview of your submission, before the deadline, as proof that it’s yours.
Your submission may not be started/made before the official launch of the contest.
Judges may not participate.
Your final submission must be bug free.
Teamwork is not allowed.
Finding testers and/or voice actors to help you with your submission is not considered teamwork.
Imports may be used in the map, however they must all be credited.

Thumbs up from me

Thanks! Do you want to be the judge?

 

[-Kobas-]

No, I must reject that offer, sry.

 

[bisnar13]

Oh, okay,

 

[Wraithling]

I haven't played the Harvest Moon Games (nor do I suspect, the majority of us here), so what other current Warcraft III-based maps would you consider suitable examples for a 'Farming' theme? The more references we have, the better it is for potential contestants

But sounds like a nice idea if enough people are interested.

This is also a good one, but I think harvest moon is better

 

[mckill2009]

Good Idea, although I may add chicken, pig, rice, corn, fish etc...and you must let them grow...

Weather, health and some other expenses for the farmed goods should also be included as well as selling and profit...

 

[rulerofiron99]

Dark Deeds, Ganga Farmer, Werewolf: Transylvania.

I'd definitely take part

 

[HappyTauren]

I'd probably finish something here because it looks so interesting

 

[Linaze]

Farming as a general theme might work, but then the contestants shouldn't be restricted to doing something like Harvest Moon (not saying anyone implied such restrictions). Farming can be a lot wider a theme than it may seem at first glance.

 

[Adiktuz]

HARVEST MOON!!! this is exciting... I hope you guys make a good HM map...

 

[kari0003]

I agree with Linaze! Its better to have a wider theme, and it doesnt require you to know HM in order to participate.

I think its always good, if you can use your very own original ideas. For example i'd really like to do a koto feeding map for a 'farming' themed contest :>

 

[Adiktuz]

no one said the theme is to mimic HM, it was just added as a tip for those who doesn't have an idea of what to do...

 

[bisnar13]

Hope this would be the next mapping/mini mapping contest

 

[Lordkoon]

I'd join this one. I always wanted to make a map about the way of harvesting raw 'mana' from the ground.

 

[kari0003]

Me too! Lets get it going!

I think the theme leaves everyone enough space to make their own ideas, so i totally support it.

 

[Orcnet]

THAMS UP
I mean thumb's up for this one lol, looks cool I'll start making one right away >

It hasn't started yet. lol xD

 

[Ender]

sounds cool.

 

[Lordkoon]

I would suggest allowing teamwork to avoid people droping out of contest at the last week because they did not have enough time to finish it. Two or more heads would do it twice as fast.

 

[Adiktuz]

assuming everyone can find a partner that they can work with, and that have lots of free time...

 

[Lordkoon]

Doesn't need to be everyone. It could be optional.

 

[Adiktuz]

then it's not fair anymore... if it's gonna be by pair, it should be mandatory... but anyway, there's also a paired mapping contest in The Hive...

 

[bisnar13]

I agree with Adiktuz, it wouldn't be fair if it was optional, and imo I like it more when I make then just by myself

 

[rulerofiron99]

I'd prefer to make it myself, and I absolutely don't mind if other mappers need to pair up.

So I'm with Lordkoon on this - Optionally Paired.

 

[kari0003]

I think more and better entries = Good contest, and fun

So if one could only do his/her entry by pairing up, be it.
I agree with the optionally paired idea, i wouldnt mind if some entry is better just because it was made by 2.

We only can create optionally paired contest tho, if every contestant understood this. Otherwise there will be a lot of raging and flaming at the end of the contest.

 

[Lordkoon]

I agree with Adiktuz, it wouldn't be fair if it was optional, and imo I like it more when I make then just by myself

There have been optionally paired entries in contests many times in the past. The reward if my memory serves is then split between the teammates (given they reach a reward).

In the last few contests I'v noticed many people withdrawing because having no time. When pairing is optional one can better manage his time and make the project disbanding less of an option if a team member is there to finish it up/polish it.

 

[Adiktuz]

as I've said there have been, the paired-mapping contests I believe...

 

[Freyleyes]

Looks awesome, Cant wait till this starts

 

[Jas.per]

Great Idea

[Almia]

Is it that the prize is too low?
I mean this is a mapping contest, Hero Contest gave 50 rep, much larger than this

 

[mckill2009]

I'd like to join but it's been a long time since I did not update my systems and maps...
