Terraining Contest #10[playable] - Surrealism

[M0rbid]

Wait.... does this rule that Keiji implied that a link for not THW or wc3c ressources must be provdied allow WoW rips as well?

 

[Celaquil]

I never said that, of course illegal resources are NOT allowed. Thats common sence.

But yes, all Wc3 resources on xgm is allowed.

 

[M0rbid]

Thanks a lot for clarifying this!
I do really appreciate this new rule. Good job Keiji!

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

Its a hard theme... Well i'm going to try...

 

[-SoulBurn]

To hell with my homework, i'm in.

 

[Cpt.ZnacK]

wait! damnit Soulburn, you reminded me, i still have over 6 huge projects... ... i had an awesome idea!

My Idea :

there would of been a huge floating castle in the middel of nowhere, where waterfall came of the sides of the castle... with step leading up towards the gate.
Once entering the gate you are confronted by a Huge EYE in the middel against the backwall. as you look around you see 3 stairways, The first at the far right corner leading up and over to the nearest right corner, but they arent connected. you have to walk over the moon in the middel of the two staircases, where gravity would be less. under the far right corner staircase is an open door where a double headed dragons heads are peeking out, biting anything that comes close enough. The would be 6 floating Chandeliers and a piano on the Ceiling. At the Left would be the 3rd staircase that leads up towards a bookcase, the bookcase as you pass it throws you with random books. there would be a plant at the left corner nearest to you that would grab and through you into the middle of the room. In the middle you can see through the floor at a dark black pit at the bottom. Random monster would run around. 3 headed vamps, Ghost with boots and a talking Cat.

BUT i dont have time and im not a good enough terrainer...
Oh i just thought of something...a floating babyhead!

 

[Sorceress]

"Import terrain"? If in that sence you mean import terrain tiles, that is allowed. A "Resource" is a resource, be it tiles, models or skins... >.>

Thanks :]

 

[CoBrA b]

Definitely in. I have an awesome idea.

 

[Hevenblood]

I have to much home work I cannot join. I really wanted to join. Oh well mabe next one.

 

[Belgarath]

i'm going to be an assuming arrogant cunt here and say that my terrain is highly surrealistic and therefore post a picture
it also doubles as a wip

Wow, im out, very nice btw i have no clue how you made it look so nice

 

[Deolrin]

Belgarath, check out AR's Dark Troll Totemic. It has a face-box sorta model... Thing that you can probably use; it even has attachment points in the eyes so you can attach effects.

 

[WindowsVistaSucks]

Edit: surrealism I just looked into it... Well, this will be interesting.

 

[Belgarath]

aight two more wips!

also, thanks for that debode

 

[Cihparg]

I'll see what happens to my entry =P
(yes, im joining just for fun ^^)


Entry:

Meh, i'm not sure if it's quite surreal, but I gave it a try =)


- Forgot it needs to be playable, will make other later.

 

[Dromlexer]

My god... all makes god Terraining here =O

 

[Plurkie]

Well, I'm in. In terraining contest 9 I had 1 vote in the poll, so I'm going to step it up and hopefully get 2 this time!

 

[Brambleclaw]

Count me in. Although im still A bit confused what you actually mean by surrealism

 

[sui-cookie]

I wana' try a contest ! so here's what i've been working on for the past hour
I needed to post a "preview" right?

edit: two months? ... i thought it was bad that i was three days late... but geeze... guess i wont be finishing tommaro D:


Edit: (again) Guys, why not at least try? For those of you who are "oh man, that looks hard. I'll just wait for the next one" Attempting to make thing's termed "difficult" is the best kind of fun And besides, this really isnt that hard of a topic if anything it is one of the easiest. It's quite opinionated because of the openness of it... so just try please

I mean, if i can spam rocks and multicolored spheres, you can come up with something xD

 

[Sorceress]

Ive Picked A Royalty Theme.. You will Only get a Short View WiP at now.

 

[-Kobas-]

eMo2LoVe find better throne model!

And pls guys use hidden tags for pictures!

 

[Cihparg]

eMo2LoVe, is that meant to be surrealism?

 

[viiva]

I would love to see an Escher-like terrain!

 

[Dr. House]

I might not disapoint you

 

[viiva]

Awesome!

 

[Just_Spectating]

I might not disapoint you

walkin up the sideways stairs?

 

[sui-cookie]

wait!

All submissions must be complete and submitted 8 weeks after the contest is started.

That mean we only have a week or two left?

 

[L2love]

Here is my wip the 1st and probably only one you will see till the end of the contest.

A small house

 

[Celaquil]

wait!


That mean we only have a week or two left?

No, the contest started only some days ago, so you have nearly 7 weeks left, not even counting the remaining days of this week.

 

[Deolrin]

eMo2LoVe, surrealism means a reality that makes no sense or something like that. E.g. a monkey riding a banana which rides an elephant inside of a barren wasteland with random skyscrappers and a random tank floating in the air and a sheep stuck inside a portal.

 

[Belgarath]

a lot of surreal things have real bases, i assume he's going to make it surreal.

 

[Dr. House]

walkin up the sideways stairs?

Who knows

 

[Sorceress]

eMo2LoVe, is that meant to be surrealism?

I told it was a small WiP.
Will give you the other ones some other time, it will be a surprice

 

[Laserdude]

One question: Does this mean we have to add starting points for more players as a melee map, creep locations, shops, etc. or do we only need to use those as eyecandy?

 

[Cihparg]

I've done a little progress in the map, here's a preview (Or a WIP)


That's just the pathing so far, yet even that ain't finished.
Got idea from Arcane Sanctuary, Diablo II.

*COUGH* I failed a little with that, redoing XD

Since when did "playable" become a synonym for "melee"?

No, you only have to make the terrain playable in the sence that you can have a unit walk around in it.

Ok, thanks!
I am trying to make a map using only in-game textures, and I am basing it off the Dream World in "Dragons Age: Origins", which is basically a lot of random stuff in a void, which is why I call it: The Void


EDIT:
Now, Where do you post the finished maps?

 

[Celaquil]

Here.

 

[Laserdude]

Here.

So...I just attach it to this post..?

Why is everyone using ships? You'll score low in originality :I

 

[Laserdude]

Here is my map!
The Void
It's mainly a walk-and-discover map, which lets you walk around with an invulnarable Paladin in this strange world!
Use the Paladin to see that all is walkable that shall be walkable.

And here's a work-in-progress picture to show that I made it:

And in-game screenshots:




Enjoy!

i tought the same, but i will just shut up to my competitors flaws haha

 

[Oziris]

I was like "No way, I ain't joining this". When I saw Belgarath's terrain i got inspired. So I'm joining after all. ^^

 

[Just_Spectating]

what if the map is playable, but with Ships?
like water instead of ground?

or do we need to make it playable with a ground unit only?

 

[sui-cookie]

Isn't what we do with the ships what really matters?

 

[Belgarath]

it should be playable in the regard of what you're using for it
also who's using ships :S

 

[Just_Spectating]

it should be playable in the regard of what you're using for it
also who's using ships :S

well then could I just make any terrain and say its playable with air units? in regard that it's an air combat type game

 

[Belgarath]

the game would have to be pretty obviously air based which would be kind of hard for this theme, since floating islands would rather be used for ground units and the like. either way, don't just sit there and try to find loopholes in the rules just so you can get out of making a playable terrain. i will destroy all who do this.
