Idea: Run! Run! Run!

[Lizidian]

Ok my last two maps have been complete failures.. lol so I think i finally have a half decent/half-backed idea!

Title: Run! Run! Run! (Subject to change)
Size:: Tiny
Players: 4-8 (Maybe more)

Idea Here's the basic idea... everyone knows run kitty run right? and lots of people like that so... (before you read any further just know im not stealing anything from that except for maybe its terrain lol) you will start with a person and you have to make it to the end of the maze... easy enough right? but it gets harder... after 10 seconds (to give people a chance to move) the first few blocks after the start line will become "lava" and anyone on the lava or who steps on the lava will die... and this will continue every 5-10 seconds... there will also be obstacles that patrol and some random spells like "rain of fire" etc... so i hope everyone understands my odd idea...

any comments?

btw tell me if this already exists...

Nice idea. Don't know if it exists but sounds like a quick fun game. Perhaps a secret shortcut would be a good idea. Make a button that gets rid of a force wall that opens a shortcut.

definitly not a good idea to steal terrain

 

[InfectedWithDrew]

Perhaps terrain ideas, no more.
I just edited because my conscience told me, "Punctuate, dummy!"

how about Mexican Boarder Patrol.

Have it in a cave (Maybe of a volcano) where your all inside and all, and theres lots of caves/caverns everywhere some lead to dead ends (Not really long, enough so that you fall behind and not always die) and some lead to traps (Like cave-in or fire trap). You could have some switches that slow down the lava for a few seconds... Lots of traps though. Needs traps! Fire traps, lava pools, falling rocks etc. Maybe have some caves that cave-in also cave-out at a different area making a walkway (Cave-out probrably isnt a word but w/e)

OFF TOPIC:

how about Mexican Boarder Patrol.

OMG one of my friends had a game variant for Halo 2 called 'Border Patrol'... IT WAS SO FUN! It was 3 mexicans (no offense) that were on brown team to every 1 border patrol officer (blue). It was CTF and they mexicans had to cross Coagulation and grab the flag to win.

Seems stupid... not really... mexicans cant use weapons or vehicles (But can use AC/shield powerup) and the game lasted 5 minutes per round. It was pretty fun, except Coagulation needs some trees/rocks etc...

well me and someone i know thought about making a Mexican Boarder Patrol (name of map) (no offense to mexicans im not racist) its just funny. I finally finished my sniper rifle and he seemed to like it (could use a bit of leak fixing) but works pretty good and it goes in rounds sorta like a TD but not a TD u snipe them as they run across and u zoom in and out n stuff.

That sounds pretty fun, actually... Where can I download it? Is it done? Send reply in PM and lets get this thread back on topic

 

[Fiends]

ohh my God i tought of an similair idea yesterday where it's kind of a maze but there is loads of traps and you the hero have special dodging skills and freeze time etc. you also have massive hp regeneration so you can at least make 30% of the map before your out of hp

 

[Lizidian]

so I take is some people like this idea...

[O/T]

mexican border patrol sounds quite funny lol

 

[Lizidian]

apparently this isnt a "awesome" idea... lol...

btw in order to get the lava to come... is there anyway to have a trigger change a terrain from one thing to another in-game... (cracked rocks -> lava?)

 

[Rad]

Environment - Change terrain type

 

[Mullit]

sounds great, you might wanna make it bigger than tiny map size though.

you could also have secret items like one that sommoned a lava spawn that would be immune to the lava and could go and retrieve items from places that had already been cut off by it.

 

[GekkoA]

could i help you with this project? i think i could do some nice terrain and supply some nice custom traps that people would like.

 

[Zero R.]

sounds great, you might wanna make it bigger than tiny map size though.

If he's gonna make it as a short, fun game... then maybe 96x96 is enough.

And Mexican Border Patrol sounds really awesome.

 

[Kenito]

Sounds interesting, just don't steal the terrain. Perhaps, if you want the game to be quicker, add on levels with their own different obstacles? Perhaps various game modes, and settings to toy around with the obstacles and stuff?

Lizidian - You can change terrain by using the "Change Terrain" command under the Environment Actions.
