Don't worry, ideas will still come... lots of them are still available.

Just because you don't have any ideas doesn't mean SC is out of ideas. It means you aren't trying hard enough or you don't have an imagination. There is an infinitum of possible ideas you could make into maps.

ADDITION: Also, I just read your poll question. Bounds aren't even their own genre. Only the first few bounds counted. Then people just ripped it off and made hundreds of the EXACT SAME MAP. It's the same thing every time; making a bound makes you a MAP STEALER!

All madness are the same map. All RPG's are the same map. All of any genre are the same map, save for the first few. I mean, a bound having different obstacles, or having different ideas for obstacles makes them the same right? A bound like Bounders Tourney a bound like Level-up bound, and a bound like heaven bound, are all the same thing if i get what you're saying.

yea i dont think there r many more new types of genres you could make
most new maps r probably r related to other maps in the same genre and r different variations
im having a tough time thinking of a new creative map idea

Yea, completely new ideas that are never heard of are rare and usually turn out to be terrible maps. Re-making a genre is fine as long as you map is better than original.

Well Considering how many of the bounds are worse then their procedures..

The human mind is an amazing thing.. meaning.. we will never run out of ideas. Its like saying: will people run out of ideas for making movies.

We will run out of ideas when there is no more Sc mappers.

We won't run dry.
why?
Because someone will eventually find some new glitch(thanks Blizzard, for making new, glitchier occasionaly patches!), feature you can add to a map editor, idea, gametype, or something to be exploited, and it will sometimes explode into popularity.

And besides, to the B.Net Community, it'll be even longer, since most of B.Net doesn't know about Sprites, Stacked Units, 0 HP causing power overwhelming effects, 0 damagae, 65535 dmg, 999999 hp 30000 shield, and the list goes on and on.

The only thing that would stop people from making new and better starcraft maps would be if StarCraft was taken off of B.net, but that probably wont happen any time soon considering how many people still play. If it were taken offline all muliplayer maps would become trash, and most or all clans and web sites would break apart.

if bnet was taken offline i would go on a non-bnet hosted server and hopefully others will be there too

If we dont think of new ideas, we'll think of ways to apply the ideas we already have.

The possible maps that you can make are endless.

Ideas are limitless, just like the universe.

But what would create a whole new dimension to map making would be if there were any way you could make it like Team Melee, where people control & command the same units and stuff. That would be tight!

team melee would be complicated cuz if u share minerals and buildings and u try to build units...u might not have enough and it will need lots of coordinating and teamwork

Later in the Future. Other comrades, Will start making new kinds of games. And like SST,AVP,Buyers/Sellers, Maddness, and etc. All of those games won't be found, The only way to find them is at websites. Thats all I can say as of now!

You can NEVER EVER run out of new ideas. Eventually you might not be able to THINK of any at the current moment. After you go through a day, you'll have many new ideas because of expierences you have had.

Also, someone said that all Madnesses and RPGs are the same just like all Bounds are the same. That is not true. Not ALL madnesses are about marines massing eachother. I can't even think of anything to compare two RPGs because they are SO different. Bounds on the other hand are ALL exactly the same. Exploding stuff. It NEVER changes. If you had other types of obstacles like dodging guards, moving archons. lurker attacks, magnet type puzzles, and other stuff then it wouldn't be all the same.

Devilesk you sure made an ass of yourself.

That is HILARIOUS considering Team Melee exists. Team Melee UMS would be GREAT though... Though you could never really play public cause people are such dumbasses.

Also shooting maps have been done. Tuxedo-Templar is obsessed with them. So obsessed he makes an RPG about shooting defilers... LOL!

we wont run outta idea because we keep inventing new technology and u can do more things with that technology... and on sc there can be more units made.. more races... better everything... a unit that could be made for example could be like a bomber that flys by and drops bombs, or mayb for zerg unit that looks like an overmind but attacks and moves
