Mini-Mapping Contests: Farming

[Vengeancekael]

The Fortuneteller has spoken: It's Game!

Farming

Contestants have to create a game where the main goal must focus on gathering materials, resources, items, and anything the contestant can interpret as 'Farming'.
You may include other functions such as puzzles, bandits raiding your farm*, etc.
It's all up to your creativity&imagination!

*Doesn't necessarily mean the player needs to have a farm

25 reputation for the winner & every contestant shall receive 5 reputation each!

• Convenience over effort won't be an excuse to make use of third party programs (exception: Jass New Gen Pack). GUI actions that do not exist in the vanilla editor's database may lead to disqualification. WEU (World Editor Unlimited) and UMSWE fall into this category.
• 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.
• Your submission must be specifically made for this Mini-Contest.
• 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.
• All multiplayer maps must be under 8mb, so that they are playable on Battle.Net. Single player maps must not exceed 20mb in size.

There is no judging criteria published yet, however you should know that Originality and Gameplay are the main factors.

Actually, no

Here is some insight:

Since the Map Development Forum will be having Mini-Mapping Contests integrated within, but the latter have been part of the Arena's contests already, the previous awards called "Mini-Mapping Awards" will be renamed and the category of those awards will close, since those contests' purpose will be served within the Map Development Forum.

Oh, all of this is kinda confused

 

[Legendary]

Well i think i want to join this will be my first time if i want to join hmm when will it be started?

 

[SA Dashie]

Don't know if I will be able to join this one.
I want to be able to finish the update for my map first.

We'll see.

If I miss this one this would be the first mini-mapping contest that I miss since #3.

 

[BronzeOregon]

I actually have a working map of this style, may I judge, as I have some insight into this?

 

[Almia]

Gonna join this. I have this idea in my brain.
Gonna search for some plant models.

 

[Lordkoon]

Don't forget you are not inforced to make it literally 'farming'. It can be gathering of any type as long as it's the main objective in the map. I am certain originality will be upheld at even higher pedestal this contest.

 

[Almia]

@Lordkoon
I am.
I will be adding some unique features (including some AIs) for my farming entry.
Though,IDK if i can make it on time(due to my business)

edit
Currently searching for models/textures and god,its so hard to find them.(currently found crops)

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Finally a new mapping contest! I wonder what I'm gonna do this time. The theme is challenging but I do like challenges.

 

[Binsu]

Good luck to all..... maybe I'll do a map like planting? Is it allowed? of course, I'll make it fun!

 

[Almia]

^ As long as it features farming

 

[Binsu]

^ As long as it features farming

Thanks! But too bad, I cant do this now because there has been no specific starting date and Deadline yet....

 

[Almia]

I have been starting to search some models for my map and starting wipping codes(with JassCraft and Notepad++) but actually the codes and gonna reach the map so ill stick with GUI.

 

[EmoBrother]

^ As long as it features farming

If that's true, then is a campaign allow ?
- - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - - = - -
sorry if this is a stupid question

 

[Almia]

No obviously

 

[Legendary]

Well can i start now? this is my first time

 

[Binsu]

Well can i start now? this is my first time

No, not yet. There is no specific starting date and Deadline yet. It is said on the first post but you can try looking for models for your map here like what Almia is doing.

 

[kari0003]

Well can i start now? this is my first time

Yea, i was kinda concerned about three contests starting in the same week, so i asked for some delay So sorry, but you cant start yet

I already have my idea about my map, it will be awesome

@Contest Prices; I understand that this is a mini contest, but its far more complex then drawing an icon, making a terrain, or creating a system. It requires more time, planning, and knowledge. I think prices should be higher.

I am not worried, because i think the host will increase prizes if the contest's quality is high anyways.

 

[Kino]

Would something involving taking care of something such as a plant count?
Assuming its in a non farm setting

 

[Lordkoon]

Since I already started a map and stopping it for a month or two might end up for me to never return to it I can again offer my services as a judge.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Alright, the contest's starting tomorrow. (Saturday)

 

[Almia]

Im going to quit.
Its because i have no time to participate due to my business and some projects.
So Good Luck to all Participants(if i have time,maybe i can judge)

 

[Legendary]

is it starting right now?

 

[Almia]

Yes. Absolutely.

 

[BronzeOregon]

Saturday, in wherever VK lives.
So in about 8-12 hours, I'd reckon.

 

[Legendary]

Okay so i will provide my own map he won't give me anything? to start? if i will provide i will start now if not i will wait

 

[BronzeOregon]

Yeah, you're making your own.
If you want an example, use this as an example. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/farmations-everyone-232861/

[Almia]

[Almia]

Any size of the map does matter. My supposed-to-be submission is 32 x 32

[DwarfBoy]

[Aeroblyctos]

[Lordkoon]

I wonder what kind of entry I will do.

Hopefully won't be an upcoming gathering map for your campaign

 

[Dr.Killer]

Why do you guys start every awesome contest exactly when I have exams or am otherwise busy as hell?? Is it personal?

 

[Chaosy]

I will join, we are allowed to take models from the hive if we credit him, yes?

 

[HammerFist132]

Chaosy of course man, dont tell me you haven't seen entry in some mapping contest with imports, but I think I will do it with no imports.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Why do you guys start every awesome contest exactly when I have exams or am otherwise busy as hell?? Is it personal?

Just bad luck.

People always seem to whine about this thing.
