Hey guys,
Alright, here's my idea for a new custom map which I'm going to be working on, and I'd like feedback from people, as to their thoughts and criticism.
Here's what I've got down so far:
-Max Players: 4 (Yes, You can also play single player.. but it will be difficult).
-Multiple Heroes, which will work together. This will mean that it will be difficult for a single player to walk off on their own tangent, and the group will do much better as a whole if they stick together.
My reasoning for the small amount of players is that I want it to be a team based game, where working together is encouraged. I figure the more people there are, A) The less organized it will become and B) The easier it will become if they all do manage to band together and keep it under wraps.
As for the actual gameplay side of things;
I will have a forest sort of map, and the idea is to kill the creeps in the forest before the timer runs out. The creeps will respawn as a stronger creep type when the timer is out, and the hero's have to run through the forest killing em all off again.
However, I want to have something happen when the timer runs out, as to make sure that those who are new to the game and don't know where to go will not get discouraged from an early game over. I was thinking perhaps a small arena full of stronger creeps that the group has to battle through? Not sure as of yet.
My own criticism of this idea:
I don't know how exciting the gameplay will be, as there will be no adrenaline aside from the timer, so players could get bored with this easily. I'm very keen on looking for ideas on how I can fix this particular issue, as it is the most important one that I am facing at the moment.
I don't know how difficult the gameplay will be, as the heroes will be levelling and will become pretty powerful. I guess it would just take alot of testing and balancing to get things right.
I also am unsure if this is an original enough idea, or if I'm just ripping off someone elses custom game.
Thoughts/criticism is the entire reason I made this post, so please, post away.
Thanks very much in advance,
