Back to Contest Thread

Welcome to the Team Matchmaking thread! The following are a list of users who have either posted here or contacted me with their Team for the 8th Hero Contest:

Team Name	Artist	Coder
Proxby-Oh	PROXY	Kyrbi0
The Flaming Skull of Waddles	Direfury	KILLCIDE
This is not a Team	Freddyk	Cokemonkey11
CockroachesInYourPants	HappyCockroach	Quilnez
---	Stefan.K	Pyrogasm
Special Ops	A.R.	Tank-Commander
Dat-S?	Hayate	Dat-C3
-	-	-
-	-	-

When you figure out who your partner is going to be and you're both decided, you can come up with a SFW name for your team (doesn't have to be fancy, just for fun) and then tell me about your team! I'll add you to the list in this thread. It'll help me a lot for organizing and figuring stuff out later to have a complete list.

You can use this thread as a means to find team members or to advertise yourself to others. ~~Please use the main thread to discuss the rules, show WIPs, or do anything else Contest-related.~~

The following is a table of people who have posted in this thread looking for a teammate:

Hi,

I am a coder looking for an artist partner.

I am a very efficient hero designer and programmer.

If you want to win this contest, send me a message pointing to some of your artwork. If you *don't* have any public resources already, I will still consider you as a partner

I am looking for someone efficient and confident, who can work almost entirely alone (as I have almost no ability to judge artistic work). I'm also interested in someone who is comfortable with the fact that my half of the work will be done in the first half of the contest, and I will most likely not be contactable in August.

Regards,

Blightsower · Jul 13, 2016

Hi, i am a coder and i am interested in joining this contest. I can only use GUI, my resources are uploaded in this site. If youre interested just drop a message.

pick-a-chew · Jul 13, 2016

Ooo, this looks fun! I'm a fairly decent coder and pretty creative when it comes to heroes. I'll take any artist who's brave enough to have me! (If there's enough artists to go around?!).

Kazeon · Jul 14, 2016

Who's ready to make some badass hero? Please contact me if you want to team up : P

Flux · Jul 14, 2016

Hmm, hive seems to have a surplus of coders for contests.

xxdingo93xx · Jul 14, 2016

Yea, include me to that coder list please. xD

That's funny; the Hive was always known as the haven for artists (as compared to Wc3C's massive coder-base).

Whether or not that's still true, I think it's mostly because these kind of Contests tend to attract coders/designers, so it's you guys that noticed a new one & cared. The fact that it's Joint may have escaped some; nothing stopping you from getting out there & contacting artists yourself! : )

Spread the word & let's get people aware.

It's the other way around. It's just that Hero Contests and Techtree ones attract(for obvious reasons) more coders.

True, but back in the haydays of wc3c.net even those few artists that frequented it were pretty darn good.
Just to name a few of them that were rocking the roof: erwtenpeller, Dionesiist(yep, got skilled there and came here), Nirvana(still loving that pumpkin lich), camel's hump(yep, anyone remember WotTH project that never came?), Rising_Dusk(albeit more of an acclaimed critic there), AnemicRoyalty(were you at?), Mc !, olofmoleman(sweet SW), TDR(rip), and so on.

Oh sure, I never said they weren't talented. Like you said, what few artists we had, they rocked socks... But it's the Hive that always had the surplus of artists (of all sorts of quality).

pick-a-chew · Jul 15, 2016

Is a good point though; what do the coders that can't find an artist do? Can't enter? I don't really know any modelers here personally, and i'm getting the feeling that this competition favors the hive elite (i.e. the well-known) and not people like me who come and ago so sporadically that we're basically nobodies

... do i create a thread somewhere begging someone to pair up with me?!

Kyrbi0 · Jul 15, 2016

Well, it's not meant for the 'elite'; with any luck we'll get some artists in the coming days/weeks to help us out.

A thread? Meh. A series of PMs, public pronouncements in the art forums, speaking up on model resources that have been submitted...

Freddyk · Jul 17, 2016

If i understand well the contest, the "coder" is also the "designer", meaning he chooses the theme and defines the concept of the hero.

I could be interested in entering this contest as an artist, so feel free to message me and explain your concept if you are looking for a teammate.
I would do mainly a custom model, with a few custom animations (just like my uploaded ressources).
I "can" do other assets if necessary (effect, icon...) but I am not necessarily good at it

ehh ya, about that. can i create the hero and the spells and just wait for an artist for the models is it allowed or i need an "ally" first before i can start on this?

Lawl. Never change, man.

Freddyk said:

Not necessarily. While it's true most of the 'coders' are the same people who were doing all the work (planning/designing/coding/etc) in previous Hero Contests (and so they might be tempted to do it all in this one), anyone who's done a team project can tell you it's important to communicate & share ideas. Especially when it comes to art (in my opinion), as the art can often shape the direction of the design (& vice versa).

Awexome, added! You're work is pretty amazing, so whoever pairs with you is a lucky...

Well, it's not optionally paired, so you'll need an artist. However, if you want to get started, I don't know of any rule that says you can't.

Definitely start putting feelers out there!

HappyCockroach · Jul 22, 2016

Wow, this is interesting. I might participate, as the artist part of some team.

Kazeon · Jul 22, 2016

Me and HappyCockroach have teamed up

Rheiko · Jul 22, 2016

I would like to join as a coder please.

I'm looking for someone who wants to team up with me for fun. ~
Because I'm simply not aiming for the win. :xxd:

Damn, that spirit. We will feel sorry to kick that ass then. I just hope you will be able to withstand the disappointment. :3

Good luck anyways~

Stefan.K · Jul 22, 2016

I guess I can join as Artist. Coders, contact me about your ideas and we can make a deal.

Rheiko · Jul 22, 2016

I and Stefan.K have joined forces. ~
Let's have some fun.

Kyrbi0 · Jul 24, 2016

Awexome! We already have 5 teams; any more & we'll actually have to use the Poll option. Please keep 'em coming!

Artists, especially, come on out of the woodwork! We got loads of talented Coders just looking for a bite. : )

I NEED TEAM NAMES, ya scallywags. Doesn't have to be serious, just give me something fun/cool/silly to work with. : )

Cokemonkey11 · Jul 24, 2016

Is the artist allowed to edit blizzard icons or do icons need to be purely hand-drawn?

Freddyk · Jul 24, 2016

Cokemonkey11 said:

We actually need a minor edit to get a matching icon for one ability. That won't be our main piece of art, this icon doesn't even have to get judged.

Kyrbi0 - My Team's name is "The Silver Knights"

Our team name: CockroachesInYourPants

Deal with it

Cokemonkey11 said:

Silver is our secret recipe.

Anyway, here's a wip for our entry. Need to finish some little things and then rig it and give it animations.

Kyrbi0 · Jul 26, 2016

Several of you asked some great questions or made great comments, that are much more fitting in the main Hero Contest thread. This thread is specifically for Team Matchmaking; help us not let it become too bloated by posting there instead. : ) I've responded to your comments there.

Rheiko said:

Finally got 3DSMax working again (ever since my computer died in December, plus other fun RL stuff), come at me coders :ctwist:

Paillan · Jul 26, 2016

For a second I thought "artist" meant the guy that makes hero lore and such. Shame on me, I can't draw stick figures. Good looks guys, I will watch this contest.

Freddyk · Jul 26, 2016

Our team will be labelled "This is not a team"

Cokemonkey11 · Jul 26, 2016

And here is the first WIP from team this is not a team

xxdingo93xx · Jul 27, 2016

Good luck to all contestant that could form a team.
I'm out, my time is just too little to be part of this contest.

Tank-Commander · Jul 30, 2016

I suppose I'll officially throw my hat in the ring as looking for somebody to team up with.

I have a number of ideas for this (though most require some "advanced" animations) will need a bit of tidying up and refinement
Not to say I'm not open to different ideas, just think mine could be a winner if done right with a high-quality model

Edit: Finished coming up with one I'm particularly fond of (aforementioned animation skill would be very important to doing it right though)

Kyrbi0 · Aug 2, 2016

We've got some real talent here; remember to keep reaching out to fellow Artists & Coders across the site! In particular:

Dude-arino's, your savior has come. : P

Tank-Commander · Aug 4, 2016

A.R. and I have teamed up to form team "Special Ops" because we're edgy like that

Hantoo · Aug 5, 2016

Ello, It seems that Dat-C3 is interested in joining with me but im not sure
Im an artist, I make 3D model, and i can actually make basic spell, some simple MUI triggering I guess, not really pro, Not sure would be enough to be qualify to be "coder" but been itching to play with triggering, been a long time since i touched that

Any coder interested to share a cup of Tea with me?

Well as per the Contest guidelines, "if you are able to do both, don't; pick one & find a team-mate to do the other". So if you want to code, feel free... But since we have a dearth of artists, you're probably better served joining up with one of the poor coders (on the list). : )

Hantoo · Aug 6, 2016

@Dat-C3 what shall our team name be?

Dat-S?

Svynct · Aug 10, 2016

Hello, I'm a coder and I am looking for an artist to team up with.
Please reply if interested.

Pyrogasm · Aug 26, 2016

Hey fellas-- after many years away from wc3 modding darkwulfv and I were planning to have some fun with this contest for old time's sake. Turns out he's a lazy motherfucker and after a couple days of PMs I haven't been able to get ahold of him here or at wc3c. Was waiting to see if he'd resurface to actually make a model for our hero, but it appears he's not actually gonna do that.

I waited as long as I could but now I'm just gonna go ahead and finish up my half of our hero using in-game art and see how that turns out. I know that's not exactly in the spirit of the contest, but I believe I have Kyrbi0's blessing in this because he wants to see what I'll make.

Tal'Rarity · Aug 28, 2016

Hi, I am Hayate's partner and just posting here mentioning I will be using a mix of GUI & JASS.

Stefan.K · Aug 28, 2016

I JUST GOT OUT OF MY PARTNER. IF THERE IS A CODER WILLING TO COOPERATE, PM ME.

Pyrogasm · Aug 28, 2016

@Stefan.K I sent you a PM.

Traggey · Aug 28, 2016

Aaw such a shame I'm late to the party! This would've been alot of fun to participate in!

Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

I've got 50% of a hero's abilities and a reskinned model would do him a lot of justice (looks like you mostly do textures?). If you wanna talk more, send me a PM.
