OK, this is the first time in a long time that im making maps, so i may be a bit rusty...
Its called Survival of the Fittest. The terrain is Badlands. It's fairly simple, a few hills, some trees to hide behind. Gameplay is pretty simple. At the beginning of the game, you have a wide variety of weapons to choose from. When you choose your weapon, you will be teleported to the middle of the map. Enemies start to spawn at that point, and basically, you have to survive. Sounds ez right? Not when you have a hell load of hydras coming at you...late in the game at least. It starts off ez, then eventually you will get to that point. Pretty simple exp and level based system to make things a little more interesting...and a few other surprises. And yes, it will be endless. It goes on and on until you die.

Sounds.. interesting.... thats about the only positive input on it I have...
But, do not fear!
One thing, I hate about games like that is, when you've played it for like 3 hours, and your like "Lol, I beat this game eZs" people usually put in some God Awful impossible monster spawn, namely Ultras with 8000 Hp, 255 Carapce, 3000 attack + 255 Ups which = Instant Pwn.
If you do go thro with it, make sure you don't add that.
Anyways, it could be cool, hell I'll prolly play it for fun... I play a lot of maps, some that are so newbishly made its fun, not sayin' that your map will or is goin' to be newbish.. Jus sayin'.
Anyways GOOD LUCK, hope it turns out great, and make sure to tell us when its done alright?

Dont worry, I dont do stupid things like that. It starts out with like 1 ling thats constantly spawning, 2 min later there will be an extra spawn, and a hydra will spawn from there, 2 min later another spawn will come out, and it will be zlots or something, etc.

Sounds neat. Put messages to grade people when they lose as to how good they are so they can compare how well they did to most people, that would make people try to do better and play more.
Is it multiplayer?, and if so do you work together?

Yes it is multiplayer, and yes we do work together.
As for the messages, sounds like a great idea. Do u mean something like this?
ex.
Time Survived
2-4 min - YOU REALLY NEED SOME PRACTICE MAN
4-8 min - C'mon I know you can do better
8-16 min - Not bad, but you can do better
16-32 min - You're an excellent survivor

i THINK.. UGH CAPS..
I think you should add somethin' comparatively of that to Zelda: The Four Swords, like make some CTF section, maybe some other mini games all around the area whislt still tryin to survive, that'd be fun
Anyways, good luck.

meh, i was thinking when i read the name, that it would be like survivor, you would have to find a way to make fire, find "fire wood" by going to a location or something, and there is status like in life of a civilian, where whoever is happiest at the end of a time wins the game, thats what i was thinking that it would be, but, yea that would be a pretty fun game, just kill the other pplz and win,

I don't think it should be geared towards killing the other players, perhaps to a point, but... without the other players survival = not goin' to happen unless j00 are 1337 haxkorzckz... aka single player = power overwhelming.. LOL........ lame.. anyways, it should have team work as an element of the game, otherwise ppl jus form teams in briefin' and slay the others...

Alright, I only read the first post, but...
I don't like games like this.
Unless you have random events(which really
up balance because someone might be unlucky and keep getting bad ones all the time, while some n00b keeps getting good ones), it'll just be, "find the strategy that lasts longest" and hope that your unit misses the enemies less then any other players who also know the strategy.
Add some PvP element, like a dueling-game in the bottomright corner, so that if you lose enough at that, you lose the game, so you have to pay attention to both, while also trying to outsmart other players.

There arent any random events.
About the PvP element, I could do that, but dueling and surviving at the same time is kinda hard. I would have to separate those two events.

Ez, you shouldn't be so judgemental on first posts.. I know its easy to though... especially when theres like 999999999x posts -.-
Anyways, if you would have read the others you would realized it has some of those elements in it.
