Story
Once upon a time, Pandas existed. Theese Pandas somehow got summoned into an arena and somehow they have to avoid deadly towers and traps that ... lives there.

Gameplay
With the help of your mouse and your lovely keyboard button D, you shall try to survive as long as possible.

Notes
This is actually an update of my old map Dodge The Towers. But many things have happened since then, that I decided to post it as a new map.

Also, there are currently 9 levels. And there are no ending yet. Don't know if I'm going to put an ending. For now, just survive as long as possible.

And since this is a big update of my old map and an early version, there may be many bugs. Please give me feedback and tell me about the bugs if you find any.

Feedback to feedbacks
I want to keep my 1337 post. So I'll post things here from now on.

Well your description leaves alot for the fantasy that's all i can say :p - just kidding. The idea seems pretty sweet, but i think if you can't make a smooth game system it will suck. Good luck with the map!

Of course you can! If you need help or anything or you just want to test it, just post it here! :D

Sounds cool; I always like those dodging games and like 50% of my maps always have some type of thing like that. But is it going to be the same repetetive thing over and over for 15 levels? or are there going to be interesting abilities and such to live it up?

Good luck! :thup:

Monotonomy

I was wondering the same thing, thewrongvine. It could be a bit monotonous if it's just you running from towers for 15 levels. :p

It will be multiplayer, I hope people would get motivation to play it by beating other people's time of survival.

I tested it. It was a good idea, but too slow paced for me so I decided not to bother finish playing it.

I'm going to make it easier, hosted it in battle.net and everyone only lasted for 3 minutes max.

Hey mate i finally made myself download the map and open WC3 to try it out. I think the game can be a bit boring the first 1-2 minuttes - but then it gets awesome and pretty sweet. I could imagine it being sweet in Multiplayer. I got to 2:25 but got pwned because i thought blink was global (IT'S NOT :p). But you should remove the heroes for players that leave or isn't in game. Also maybe add difficulty levels or make that you can start at level 3 - 5. Anyway awesome map, looking forward for updates!

Happened to me, but I pressed the 'B' button for divine shield ;)

Anyway, The map seems a bit slow too, it gets boring in singleplayer.
It is however a good idea. What I think the map needs is a "Replay" option so you can try again without re-hosting (online)

StormBolt or other spells to distract people would liven the game up. Except they too should be dodgeable. So maybe a stunning, not-damaging shockwave :)

I'm trying to fix that, they don't complain about that when I host in b.net. Replay button hm.. Yeah, I currently have Elapsed time as event on each level, so that will be a lot of work. I think I'll make dialog too.

I got a tower which shoots shockwave. But it doesn't stun

I was thinking of a competetive mode. A skill that swaps the position with a targeted friend and your objective is to kill each other.

Kewl, I'll try it out!

EDIT: lololol, I got to 6:33 first try... that was awesome! It's a fun map that keeps the pace, although it does get repetetive. You should add more abilities and temporary boosts.

The lightning towers were the ones that got me... I had to decide whether to get shocked or burned. :p

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
