Mini-Mapping Contests: Farming

[DSanhueza]

Ok time for a first wip. My entry will have 3 zones, from which your units can't cross to each other (like miner going to the market, XD)

• Zone 1: the mine, here you control some gobling miners to get ore from the rocks in the tunnels. Don't worry you won't have to control the miners all the time, but check on them once in a while. The rocks already have the quality of materials you can get within each of them.

• Zone 2: the factory, here you control the flow of materials by changing the directions of the arrows in the factory. Guide the ore to the smelter, then the ingots to the storehouse or to packaging if you will be selling them soon. Beware don't let rubbish go into your furnaces or the production will be wasted.

• Zone 3: the market, get juicy contracts to produce certain alloy, buy interesting upgrades and expansions. Or just sell your remaining ingots for a small profit.

Zone 2: factory showing line guiding arrows

Like Tickles said, the best thing is the miners AI, there was not much to test I mean I was taking my time palying around with the factory, it was pretty fun but overall I really liked the map. Concept is pretty legit, there wasnt much to do really but I like where this is going. One thing though you could make the factory more uhmmm understandable? Like fill the questlog with tips and stuff because it took me a while to set it all straight to where i wanted them to go... maybe is just because i am retarded.

Ok, here comes another WIP. This map I want it to be really hard, i dont want people to just hop in, kill everything and end the game, I dont want them to play it 3 times and win. I want them to actually spend a lot of time trying to beat it, so. There is a rather "easy" way to beat it but you will have to figure it out on your own. Just one quick tip: Upgrade the Skeleton Guardians and their Damage.

Feedback please! Oh and I hope you like the hell-looking terrain, I am still not done with it by the way.

Nice walls and doors you've usee, juno. Keep it up. Maybe find an appropriate tile for this too? Overall, +3 REP and nice job!!

 

[GreeN!X]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I'll post a better screenshot tomorrow. :3

 

[Binsu]

Okay, will be looking forward, bro! :3

 

[Evil_Redneck]

I should have first test map sometime tonight with chapter 1 of my submission. Getting the features I wanted in the game took longer than I thought it would.

WiP03 - Gameplay

Oh, just saw this and from the screenshot, this looks very nice. Terrain is simple but well-made. But one thing that bugs me is that it is flat, maybe mind making different levels to the ground?

Well, so the hero's name is Peter. Looks nice and have a question: will he have skills? You know it sucks when hero has no skills.
But overall, nice and +3 REP. Nice to see new entries. it grants more challenge in the contest!

 

[UndeadImmortal]

It's not flat?

Well, so the hero's name is Peter. Looks nice and have a question: will he have skills? You know it sucks when hero has no skills.

Of course he will, and some skills will be focused much on attributes.

 

[Binsu]

It's not flat?



Of course he will, and some skills will be focused much on attributes.

Well, yes the ground is raised a bit but maybe you can make some higher. Still looks like a bit flat. But nevermind, this might lead us to both disqualification because they might think I am helping you.

 

[GreeN!X]

Ugh, Arrow key controls and cinematics are NOT working out well together..

Well, I'll just post these to show that at least did some progress today.

The story is about you (A young thief) and 5 evil super rich people and you're gonna drive them out of the town by stealing all of their riches, especially their heirlooms. Silver fox is an expert thief who is currently teaching you to replace him as the current master thief

EDIT: UndeadImmortal's terrain looks fine. A village doesn't need to have very rough terrain filled hills and stuff.

WIP# 2

Chapter one is done for the most part. Still needs some touchups but it's playable.

 

[SA Dashie]

Pity for me.
I don't have near enough time to produce my map at the moment so I will no longer be a contestant. Especialy with the way I like to do things. School and my own outings has consumed me more than I thought it would. Oh well I will still keep my map idea in mind for finishing it one day. ^^

And Kino, yeh rather smexy.

WiP #5 here! With 3 new screenshots showing you the fight with the 2nd Boss, the Darkside, Lord Hollowmist, the 3 achievements available for the next WiP maps (might add more), and the showing of the 2nd artifact, the Orb of the Wise One.

WiP #5 Screenshots:

FEEDBACKS ARE APPRECIATED!

The hero is at least level 8 in WiP #5 with two bosses to fight, three achievements, two artifacts to find, and still no skills yet?

The artifact looks flashy, and I'm looking forward to seeing the some spruced up gameplay with the new boss(es), skills and fixed save point balancing. The save points were probably your biggest problem. Any changes to them yet?

I already did made some of the skills, Im not just adding it to the hero.

For the save point, I already limit the range of the heal.

AND LOL WHATS WITH THE PICTURE?

 

[GreeN!X]

Just finished the cinematics.. Took me about an hour and a half. Explaining the crappy triggers right now. But it's not all cinematics, well almost in the this wip is cinematics. I'll try to make em' skippable in my next wip. X3

But for now, this is all I can do. Too friggin' tired mon..

(so screenshots are coming soon, wait me, [rainbow]Farming Contest[/rainbow] !)

 

[Binsu]

Hey, guys! Just want to ask, is using some spells from the Spell Section to entries allowed? Of course, credits will be listed to him!

 

[MasterTrainer]

Yes, it's allowed. But you should put in the proper credits.

 

[Binsu]

Yes, it's allowed. But you should put in the proper credits.

Okay, thanks!

 

[Orcnet]

Or much epic, le flying terrain LOLOLOL

 

[Binsu]

I would named that le Flying Terrain of awesomeness...

 

[MasterTrainer]

It would be cool if the terrain was covered in alpha tiles; that's still playable right?

 

[Almia]

^ Yep.
Why would you think like that? Alpha tiles are basically Transparent tiles :3

Good!

WiP #6 by Hell_Master - A dungeon crawl map with some components of Farming

Here it is my WiP #6 showing you my map again with some improvements. And more....

Changes/Additions:
-Save Point only heals allies 600 range of the unit, this prevents taking advantage of the Save Point.
-When fighting bosses, Save Points are disabled so one tip is never die in a boss battle!
-Added achievements! 3 achievements only for this WiP!
-Added a main quest about the 3 great artifacts.
-Added skills to Lord Vargas but there is still no 4th skill for him as I am still thinking of what it will be and also some units also have no skills yet! Vargas' skills might be simple and wc3 spells but there is some additions to those skills!
-More.....

Credits:
-Sliph-M
-kola
-Tranquil
-Mc !
-CloudWolf
-JesusHipster
-Frankster
-Paladon (For Knockback Shockwave Spell)


So enough with the explaining and here is the map! I hope you have fun!

 

[Almia]

^ You are using a not destroy-tree friendly system.

 

[Binsu]

^ You are using a not destroy-tree friendly system.

Oh, so what do you mean by not destroy tree friendly system? And I like living dangeriously?

 

[MasterTrainer]

I will be withdrawing from this competition, as too much has happened over the past few days.

Good luck to the contestants!

 

[Almia]

Oh, so what do you mean by not destroy tree friendly system? And I like living dangeriously?

Try using the shockwaves on a group of units. And around the units,put destructables other than trees :3

 

[Binsu]

WiP #6 by Hell_Master

I have two major words for you: Multiple Difficulties

You definitely improved the map a lot, and the skills are nice for a hero with a large army to manage. Save points are a lot more balanced. Tomes and rescues are actually kind of fun to achieve, but the rescued units make the game ridiculously easy (not to mention how powerful the hero gets after the first artifact is found).

If you don't want to go in and balance every little detail of the game, you can just add harder difficulties which increase the HP of enemies and maybe give them some global auras (one dummy unit with auras which range throughout the map) to strengthen them too.
