Alright, since I'm making some progress, time to unveil my evil mastah plan:

The Rain of Chaos

Each player represents a demonic overlord, who have, in their sights, a small, nodescript city. The only hinderance for the unholy massacare to ensure is a magical shield maintained by a generator within the mage's quaters. As thus, your first step is to infiltrate the city, and destroy this so called generator.

To counter this drawback, the demon lords have enlisted dark sorcerers on their sides, however, since they oppose each other aswell, each and every one of these saboteurs is fighting against all the other ones.

So:
Step 1: Infiltration
You must use your Dark Saboteour to infiltrate the city, pass the guards, aviod the other saboteours, and destroy the shield generator.

Setp 2 : Decimation
With the shields down, the armies of the demon lords can now decend upon the town, wreaking death and destruction all over the city.

The Demon Overlords themselves are trying to get to the city as quick as possible, however, they require magical essence to do so. Each kill one of your minions deal gives you a certain amount of power, as well as destryoing powerful and magical structures, like the Shield Generator.

The first Demon Overlord to reach 1000 (might be changed later) points will apear on the battlefield, and wreak ultimate anahilation and destruction on every living thing inisde the walls of the city, taking the town as his own, winning the match.

It might sound wierd now, but ingame, it looks pretty awesome, even now!

I'll post a wip screeny, etc later!
Oh yeah, an awesome contest, this is!
Peace out!

 

[RolePlaynGamer]

Time to introduce my project... >_>

Defense of the <something>

Yeah, if someone has an idea of a name, I would be glad to hear it,

So, first of all, this has nothing to do with DotA (as you might think), it's not even an AoS. In fact, I'm not really sure what kind of map genre it is,
The gameplay is rather simple. You're this little mortar guy in the middle of the screen, and you need to protect a pair or workers who's building a guard tower. However, the local inhabitants aren't very happy about you building this tower, so they're trying to destroy it. Your job (as the mortar guy) is to kill those inhabitants before they get to the tower.

You attack by clicking somewhere on the ground. Your mortar will then shoot a missile which hits the ground after a while, so you'll have to aim. Everything in the game is scripted in vJass, trackables, parabolic missile movement etc. I'm trying to enchant the game with as much custom features as I can, so it will not be like any Warcraft map you've ever played.

I'm planning to make several "levels" that you can complete, so the game keeps being fun to play. I've attached a screenshot of the map below, showing level 1. It's still in a very early stage (I've only been working on it for 2 hours), so it still lacks some of the interface I plan to add.

So far it only features some reload thingy and a very basic terrain. Tomorow I'll try to get the workers and some local inhabitants in there.

matyko, sounds good, =]

Edit: Oh, and it's singleplayer, D=

 

[matyko]

Defense of Mortar Hill?
Defense of the Hill of Awesome?
Defense of the Workers?
meh, just off the top of my head.

 

[Traxamillion]

Since there is no theme i'll just make a melee map with custom races.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

As long as the race is interesting and actually a worthwhile addition, I'm sure it'll pass.

7 days left.

 

[Kwah]

Ahhhhhh.

 

[Just_Spectating]

man this is hard since im trying to get permission to modify a model yet they're innactive D:

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Focus on the rest, then.

 

[Just_Spectating]

yeah im focusing on terrain, still thinking about it.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

ROFL ROFL I just thought of the best minigame ever... I mean seriously! It's the most spectacular thing ever! I'm going to make it as my entry :O (and blow you all away unless you get 50 friends to vote for you which usually happens in every contest)

 

[Eccho]

I made a decent User Interface for my map. It may not be the best, and I know, the Item Box and a few things shines too much. Ill fix that if I have enough time.

Anyway, here it is:

 

[Septimus]

Now working for my 2nd map....

 

[Eccho]

2nd map? Are you making several cinematics Septi :O?

 

[water_Knight]

Here is my first map what i was talking about earlier.. now ima just make my second map alot better 2.School Zombie Survival v1.000.w3x

 

[Palaslayer]

may i enter as a judge?

 

[PurplePoot]

Judge(s) are predetermined, and it's usually only one (the contest host).

 

[Palaslayer]

u didnt read the thread...

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

OMG U must upload that UI.

 

[Eccho]

Mine?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay, I already finished my super über mini-game. But I think I can do better than that...

...I'm currently making a cinematic for the competition. It's a battle cinematic.

Yipii.

 

[Cr34p]

so i'm done with the concept and the layout of the map...now the scripting >.<
will be a mini game with some funny features

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

This sounds like a funny little contest.
Count me in.

 

[Callahan]

I'll give a try

 

[Kwah]

Mine?

Gief. NAOW.

 

[Paladon]

Judge(s) are predetermined, and it's usually only one (the contest host).

Or the host appoints someone to judge for him/with him, happens as well.
But you are right, they are predetermined in most cases.

 

[Just_Spectating]

dam, alot of good map makers are joining this contest and giving me less hope X_x


Im going to post a Screenshot soon.

 

[busterkomo]

Or the host appoints someone to judge for him/with him, happens as well.
But you are right, they are predetermined in most cases.

And they are predetermined for a reason. Depending on the who the judge, I'd probably adapt my map on what they're known to judge it on.

 

[Sabertooth]

I have an idea, a pretty solid one for once, but I want to get some testing and such in before I verify it =P

EDIT: I do have a terrain screenshot though. I know, it's amazingly beautiful.

 

[Kwah]

Damn. My two main ideas were either zombies or a 'boardgame'.

*goes off for new idea*

 

[Eccho]

This sounds like a funny little contest.
Count me in.

I guess you'll own my UI if you make one

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Here is my first map what i was talking about earlier.. now ima just make my second map alot better 2.School Zombie Survival v1.000.w3x

I should really add another rule about giving WIP screens at least once before releasing.

The way you're doing this, your map will probably be missed when judges start scanning the thread.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Okay my wip.

...AWESOME!

 

[Just_Spectating]

Map Terrain:

W.I.P.
Haven't added the destructibles/doodads yet, and its still pretty flat.

 

[Bob27]

Ok here are some more screenshots of my map.

 

[Illidan(Evil)X]

I guess you'll own my UI if you make one

If the contest extends, I'll consider it.

 

[Sabertooth]

No worries Hawk, it's not a boardgame.

 

[Eccho]

Awesome people. Greats wips

 

[Cr34p]
