Well, TH.net members, here it is. The first version was a big success, so why wait around? Here's number II!
Objective
The object of this contest is to make, of your own blood, sweat, and tears, a tower that will stand the test of time! Well, at least the scrutiny of the members of TH, anyway. I don't want to see bland! I don't want to see dull! I want to see ingenuity in the extreme! So, let's make round two better than round one could possibly be on a good day!
Rules
As before:
1. Thou shalt not steal each other's work.
2. Thou may use systems in this contest.
3. Thou may code in either GUI or JASS.
4. Thou shalt be able to use imported models/textures/etc.
5. Thou shalt make thy tower testable against creeps.
6. Thou shalt not whine.
7. Thou shalt have fun.
Winnings
Now. The important stuff. Reward. So, if you win, you will receive: Some +rep from me personally, Tinki3, and your name will be added to the contest index, that's what!
Gradings
Grading Assistant: Waaaaagh
So, you want to know how the contest will be graded? Well, listen up!
The contest will be out of 100 points. Here's the breakdown:
Tower Art
How nice does your tower look? Does it have anything attached to the model that applies? Is it the right size? Would it fit in with other towers nicely?
Points Possible: 10
Special Effects
What do the projectiles look like? If it doesn't use projectiles, what kinds of eye candy does it have? What do its abilities look like when used? Is it noticeable?
Points Possible: 10
Adhereance to Theme
Does your tower fit the contest? Would it be applicable in a Tower Defense map? Is it innovative? Does it incorporate new ideas that have never been seen before?
Points Possible: 20
Coding Efficiency
Do your tower's trigger-enhanced abilities work as intended? Are all the leaks eliminated? Is it done in the best way possible? Are there any errors?
Points Possible: 40
Balance
Does your tower have the right amount of power? Is it not just an "ownage device"? Is it actually viable in a TD map?
Points Possible: 10
Implementation
Is it easy to incorporate your tower into a map? Could the common sea slug follow your instructions?
Points Possible: 10
Total Points Possible: 100
The Twist
Yes! We're not doing it the same this time! Guess what? The grades? They're completely unimportant! Hooray!
So, what IS important? Well, making your tower the best and most interesting, of course. When the contest is over, I will post a poll so that YOU, the members of TH.net can vote on the towers and declare a winner! If you enter, you may of course, vote for yourself.
Deadline: 2 Weeks From Now
Date: September 7
Entrants:
I will post a leaderboard that tracks the current entrants and their positions. It will be an Excel document. I will also post all gradings in that format. Comments will be kept separate.
