Popularity of WC3 Maps

[duderock101]

Hey, I was thinking in my spare time (which I have a lot of at the moment) whether or not I should make a WC3 map like I did a long long time ago .

However, I was thinking of what type of map i'd have it as. Such as a RPG, TD, Singleplayer Campaign.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that a story-driven Singleplayer Campaign with epic cut scenes/cinematics would be a good project. It wouldn't be a normal WC3 meele map, but a more Roleplaying/involved story.

Any ideas or feedback?

I believe it would be interesting, hower it won't last long. It's like a, play once and go, type of game.

the dwarf campaign a while back ago was HUGE, it had a rediculous ammount of downloads before it got outdated, it could get big but depends on how fun it is and how much effort is put into it, when the minute details have a ton of concentration the maps tend to get super popular, just as a rule of thumb, but it is hard to get a single player game popular, just because it doesnt spread over b.net

I love single player campaigns, so I say go for it! Depending on how much time you have and how much effort you want to put in, you could potentially turn a couple of maps from the campaign into co-op maps which you could release on b.net to appeal to the multi-player audience.

Nowadays people have a shorter attention span than before, so it shouldn't be too long or need too much play-time.

Hmm... ok thanks for feedback. I'll look into a story and decide myself. It'll be interesting to keep the player interested. Perhaps puzzels, boss fights and other things.

the dwarf campaign had riddles all over the place, in order to get past this one part in it you had to find an altar to the old god, interact with it, read his name, then type an exact match in front of his temple doors to get in, things like that made the game fun, as long as you didnt get stuck on something super hard, rage, and uninstall/ragequit

and btw, single player games do not have a size limit, you can import as many custom audio files and models as you want, makes sure the quests/objectives are said via a voice not a computer-automated voice or just text

Voice-acting eh... hmm i'll probably make the campaign first, then add extras like that.

Mini-game?
Everyone loves something quick and simple. Doesn't take long to make, and for this reason you can make it as eye-catching as possible. lmao i love making minigames
