Paired Mapping Contest #2 - Party Style Map

Taur · Dec 3, 2007

Questions

should we post WIPs of our maps?
are there any limits on what systems/tools we can use

Fulla · Dec 3, 2007

Probably best not to reveal your minigame ideas else other ppl may copy them.
Its also only a 1month contest so not that bigger wait to see the end results.

Just_Spectating · Dec 3, 2007

i doubt people will copy minigame ideas. and a WIP wouldn't really tell the viewer how that minigame works.

Well I am against anyone with the same IP entering the contest, because its just to hard to try and figure out whether or not their the same people.

We can prove that we are two people, as i said we have 2 computers at our dads place and you have the word of 13lack and Dread backing us up. And if i was to find another partner here would my brother then be allowed to enter with someone else?

Bob27 said:
well I said no to madcat, so it would be unfair if I said yes to you. So the best thing to do would be to find a partner here. Theres already been people asking for partners, so just send one them a pm.

Please add us to the contest list, we just want to compete with our friends 13lack and Dread. I think cutting my brother out of the comp is unfair on him.

Edit:
I've just been talking to Dread and we were wondering if it was possible for me to pair up with Dread and my brother to pair up with 13lack? (or vise versa)

Dreadnought[dA] · Dec 4, 2007

Would it be alright for me to pair up with The_Twinz and 13lack.1)ragon pair up with Maelstrom_? (Well that is if they agree on it and 13lack.1)ragon agrees on it.)

Just_Spectating · Dec 4, 2007

omg Donut. That name already sounds fun (if it is wat i am thinking of right now)

I am almost certain that would be allowed.

@Taur - With WIP's do you mean the actuall map or screenshots? Because screenshots would be no big deal, it is more posting a map that would suck.

Bob27 · Dec 4, 2007

Yes I will allow that. I am updating the contestants page again now. Could you post then which pair is doing which map?

And Taur, you can post updates and ideas if you would like.

Sacrimo · Dec 4, 2007

I would like to join I will have more time on my hands since my sprained back will keep me home from school for a few weeks.

EDIT: Whoops, he already posted a while back.

Pyritie · Dec 4, 2007

Actually it would be better to post your ideas, that way you won't be accused of stealing if another team *happens* to come up with the same idea.

Fulla · Dec 4, 2007

I think no matter what your going to get alot of game that will be similiar anyways.
So if someone posts an idea, doesnt mean others havent thought of it beforehand, and can be accused of copying.

Sacrimo · Dec 4, 2007

Anyone need a partner?

Jacek · Dec 4, 2007

I am, if you know how to terrain

Gerlif · Dec 4, 2007

WIP:

Pandaren Party - Gerlif and Reflexar
Our minimap preview

Pyritie · Dec 4, 2007

That beer looks really bad.

Gerlif · Dec 4, 2007

Ok.. Not that i can use that for much

Killface · Dec 4, 2007

Does it have to be made into stages? Because I have sort of a new idea for an party themed game.

Fulla · Dec 4, 2007

Looking awesome so far Gerlif

@Killface just make it however you want.
I'd recommend spending some time planning/designing it first (theory part).

The Divine Energies are: Apollo Beam and Everlasting Gloom. If you chose to work for the Apollo Beam, you will be a human player, if you chose Everlasting Gloom, you will be undead.

Everlasting Gloom:

Players 5-8 + 9 (Computer)

I can make the terrain look good, not 100% pro, pretty new to it, but im now a noob at it. I am pretty equal with general mapping and triggering.

Sorry but i changed my mind, i want to work with my brother. If i was to work with Dread and my brother with 13lack we would be working on 2 maps on the one computer, it just wouldn't work. I have another point to put foward about why we should be allowed to work together.
The reason you don't want 2 people with the same IP to work together is because it may just be 1 person working on the map by themself right? Well what if for example 13lack did all the work in his pair and Dread just has his name on it, this would have the same result with only 1 person making the map. Really all your are relying on is the word of everyone that they are 2 people who both will be working on the map, which is the same as relying on my word that my brother and I are working on a map together.

Killface · Dec 5, 2007

It seems my partner has lost interest already in creating this map. Please remove are names from the list of contestants.

Just_Spectating · Dec 5, 2007

You mean Our?

i dont know if i want to join this one..

Yea you can do it however you like, as long as it follows the rules.

Well I would prefer that you don't do it with someone who has the same IP, however I will think about it, although I am still reluctant to let anyone with the same IP join as partners.

I still think the beer picture could be blended a bit more. Maybe add a bit of shading underneath it so it looks more like he's holding it and isn't making it float.

Yeah, and if everyone is as lazy as i can be, many will drop out xD
(Btw, thx for positive feedback about my minimap preview.. maybe i fix the beer, when map is done

)

13lack.1)ragon · Dec 6, 2007

Please fix the thing on the first post involving the teams (I with twinz and dread with maelstrom_) It is me and dread with the current map name.

Although dread hasn't been showing as much initiative ive been whipping him into action to create some minigames lol

we've currently got two made

HeretoDLstuff · Dec 7, 2007

Question: Am I allowed to pair with TWO people and make a 3 person team?

Just_Spectating · Dec 7, 2007

i really dont think so.

Bob27 · Dec 7, 2007

Ok I believe I have fixed it now.

And yea, you can't really have more then 2 people, because then its not really a pair.

UchihaSasuke.gr · Dec 7, 2007

Our map name on the first stage will be called Christmas Party(we will change it later MAYBE).We will add a more Christmas feeling on it.

Dreadnought[dA] · Dec 8, 2007

Actually I have none made
LOL
Weekends here so prepare to see my kick@$$ stuff in action!

Maelstrom_ · Dec 8, 2007

My brother and I have made a start on our map, hes making terrain im doing the triggers and we're both making units/abilities. So far it has bits of 5 minigames created but we still dont have a map name.

It has a night elf theme. My brothers also gonna do some cool photshop art for the loadscreen and preview screen.

Just_Spectating · Dec 8, 2007

uh, shouldn't your partner be someone that has a diff IP and is an active user on this site? then ur brother wouldnt get any credit.

Maelstrom_ · Dec 8, 2007

uh, shouldn't your partner be someone that has a diff IP...

I have already been through this in my other posts in this topic, theres no reason for us to be excluded.
@Anyone whos interested: We just arrived at our dads place so we can do that proving we're two people thing if u want.

...and is an active user on this site? then ur brother wouldnt get any credit.

I'm not sure what you mean by that as im not even an active member myself. Look at my number of posts. All but one of them where from this topic. My brother has an account here and a small number of posts, just like me.

@Bob27: Thanks for adding us to the list! :wgrin:

Sacrimo · Dec 8, 2007

Me and thisruoy are partners...we are currently brain storming map names and ideas.
