Having trouble with some triggering on how my mini-game ends. Once I fix that, I'll add some twists, work more on the terraining, and finally do some polishing.

Would it be okay if I based it upon the Sheep and Paladin game but add in some gameplay flair?

Up to you. Remember that you can reupload your map at any time.

Do note that originality is being graded.
Inspiration is fine though.

ha ha ha, it took me about 3 days to complete the terraining and an introduction video. Now finally i can start creating the game xD.

i think i will upload it today or tomorrow. I will need test players, the more the merrier, i hope i will find support from the other contestants.

by the way, good luck to all others who are still mapping on their project, i wonder how many maps will be submitted.

My PC broke down.... with my map and all my files. I am on a craptop now....


Is it just me or is there a tendency of deleating/corrupting/loosing our submittions ? Gosh, too much tricks, too little treets.

Anyway, I will try to make something different... In case this shit can run wc3 that is.

That's unfortunate, Bloodcount.
Anyway, there's a lot of time left.

I'm saddened by the lack of WIP screenshots. :(

Well my map seems to be corrupted. I can't play it from the game, it has to be through Test Map. There's nothing wrong with my triggers associated with ending the game, but I still have problems that can be linked directly to them. I'll have to drop out since I won't be able to remake my entry in time.

ah, sorry but my project does take much more time then i thought. i am making it more and more complex, hope it wont get too big.

still have problems with balancing.
i wonder whether any community members could beta test the game for me?

Go and submit it then.
The earlier you submit, the more people will test the map and post feedback here.

Well, my idea fell apart, but here it is, in case anyone wants to expand on it.

You would work you way over the map, and have to unscramble random words.

I was planning on about 2oo Words, and ten spaces. Each time you got to a higher square, it would add a letter.

Aw damn, I just found out about this. Hopefully I'll be able to whip something out in 1 weeks time...

How is that Halloween related?

Grading said:
Is it interesting and never boring?
Nothing is never boring. :p

It was a haunted house theme.

You've had three weeks!
How long could it possibly take to code a minigame?

WastedSavior is going suicidal over the bloated time you've got too. :p

I didn't find out about it until last sunday night.:/ Hopefully I can at least get the map functioning.

General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
