Clan ib Map Making Contest #1
Kind of Contest:
Map Making
Eligibility:
Everyone can enter this contest! It is suggested that you are in Clan ib or Clan ib2, BUT NOT REQUIRED!
Description:
Create a simple map that can be used in future Warcraft III Contests. This map can be a new, original idea or it can be made off of old ideas(like TD's, Mazes, etc.). Your map CAN NOT be an edited version of an already created map, but it can have copied triggers and units from other maps.
The maps should be somewhat simple, so they shouldn't be a huge RPG map that will take months to make.
The general guideline for the maps is to make a map that involves some sort of competition, like a hero wars or a footmen wars. A TD won't be very good, unless it is a Solo or Multi-Team TD.
There are no restrictions related to models, music, or anything else related to importing. Please try to keep the map size fairly low, but I can optimize it if necessary.
PARTNERS are NOT allowed. This must be done alone. You are allowed to get help, but there can be only ONE(1) author to the map. If you want, you can have 2 people work together and make 2 different maps. Then submit both maps, but with 2 different authors. Only the author of the map will be acknowledged as making the map.
If you need help starting a map you can look at the new tutorial: Creating a New Map For Beginners
Time Limit:
This contest begins on August 04, 2008 and ends August 18, 2008. No entrees will be accepted after August 18 at 11:59pm est. I am willing to be flexible on the time limit and if necessary, I will be able to push it back a couple of days.
Points:
The Judges will have five categories that they will be able to select a point value from. At the end, all points will be added together to find out the winner. Categories:
Creativity: (1-10)
This will be how creative and unique your map is. For example, if you made a basic maze without any new things inside it, then this value would be low, but if you made a completely new map that hasn't been done before then this value would be high.
Technicality: (1-10)
Even though I am asking for simple maps, people with more complex things inside their maps will get more points than those with no difficult parts inside the map.
Polish: (1-10)
How many bugs are there inside the map? The more bugs there are, the less points this category will have. Go through the map when you finish it and fix it up a little, with things like detailed terrain, special perks like a name changer, etc.
Fun: (1-10)
Well, the whole point of a game is to be fun! Is the map exciting to play or does it bore everyone to death and no one ever plays it more than once....
Followed Rules: (1-5)
Basically, did you pay attention to the guidelines given above. Is the map an edited version of an old map?? Just follow the rules and you should do fine in this category.
Judging:
The contest will be judged by the staff of ib Clans. This includes Prepare-2-Lose, Perfection-, and Magma.(Judges may change depending on whether they submit maps or not)
