Hi there,

I've been tryina figure what kinda map I should make, and obviously I'm too lazy to start a RPG or AoS kinda thing so I've decided I shall make a minimap/mini-arena. Problem is I'm out of ideas, any ideas are welcome and will probably be +rep'd
 
Well the problem with non-complicated games is there's only so much you can do with them before they become complicated ;/ So i'm not too sure what to tell ya . . . anything that would separate your map from every other map of that type would be more complex and take some time.
 
My suggestion is take any major map idea and compact it! Like make an AoS with about 4 really strong heroes that kill each other almost instantly.
Or, you do what I did, and take a game idea like 'Cat and Mouse', and turn into a really minigame!
Or how about a Survival game (like undead king's test) in a forest or a maze?

Let yourself loose, is what I say. If you still struggle to find inspiration, just browse the map galleries and play some that you like the look of.
 
Random idea I had reading this thread:

Kill the Cockroach (Hero Survival)
One random player/Hero is designated to be the Cockroach. He has to stay alive (By killing or avoiding other Heroes and creeps) for as long as he can. Each second he's alive, he gets a point (stored in a leaderboard). When he gets killed, the killer becomes the Cockroach and so it goes. When someone who has been the Cockroach becomes the Cockroach again, his/her points are reset, but the previous value is still remembered; if his/her new values are greater than or equal to the previous values, they're overwritten, otherwise they overwrite the newer values. At the end of the game, the one with the highest point value is the winner (The Cockroach who stayed alive longest).

There might already be a version of this out there, but I just came up with it just now, so in my defense, I'm not ripping anyone off...

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
