So you're worried about a quality standard that you won't be able to reach? I wouldn't. It's not like you can straight out compare this kind of thing to an RPG or defense or any other type of map. It's really meant to be something new altogether: Not an upgrade to any real existing genre or anything. Only if you wanted to make a map like it could you really compare it. And as is, that's hard enough to accomplish decently even for someone like me .

Don't worry, there's still plenty of room for other ideas and creativity that this won't take away.




Testing is closed, as I said before. I'll have slots open when the final chapter is complete.

Lol, thats my point, im not very good at coming up with new ideas for starcraft maps. Since usually, ill get an idea, and then before i get 5% done with it, i get another idea and start over on something else. Thats how its always been, so nothing ever gets completed. In the end, i just ended up making pitiful maps out of boredom. Plus, like i said before, even if i came up with an idea better than rush, the quality of the map would be less than half of yours. Unlike alot of others, i dont use alot of fancy stuff because im too impatient to fix the bugs myself. I've just come to realize i dont have what it takes to make maps. Anyways... When do you estimate the final chapter is going to be done/open for testing? And, can i get a garunteed spot in that?

Well sorry to hear that.


Don't ask for estimates or I'll fall under my usual curse of not being able to fulfill them. It'll be done when it's done.

hmm... if you cant tell me when its done... then why dont you try and tell me how fast you are completing it... O.o? such as.. 0.01% per day, for example.

ADDITION:
eh... forget it... ill request to be a tester if im around to hear the news that testers are being chosen. But thats unlikely.

Meh lemme test when you open testing back up. O.o

I wanna see what everyone is talking about ;D

OMG the trailer for this game was teh pwnage! I can't wait for it to come out! But I dont like the idea of having to beat it in single player to unlock multi player.

i was going to test 2.... Come on lad, maybe i can be very useful

Neither do I, but it's either that or let people play a highly laggy game and come to the impression that it's no good because of that (because of having 2 players, that is). It's also quite buggy, but that'll of course be fixed before release (I hope).

Will there be singleplayer?

Are you using SCMLoader?

The map is single player, but there is an unlockable two player. The map doesn't require SCMLoader to play, but it would be an even cooler map if it did.

i see, single player and an unlockable multiplayer, nice. Hey Tux let me test please man.

For everyone interested in testing, once I have the final chapter done I think I'll go ahead and do an open beta. Might as well since I have no strong hesitation against showing it as a (near) finished product.

I'm not showing it until the last part is done, though. Period.

Awww

Oh well, much worth the wait, i expect....

I'm getting the feeling this map is not going to be a big hit, mainly because no one has given the WOW factor after playing it.

Actually that's because I asked most people to send me their testing results by email instead of post them. But the early beta was a bit too difficult, admittedly. But hey, that's what the tests were for in the first place.

ok, so when is testing coming again? (week, days, months, etc)

Oh no, there is a GIGANTIC "WOW" factor. This is probably the most amazing an innovative StarCraft map I've ever seen. I just tend to report bugs instead of my reactions since this is a Beta Testing thread.

I was too late to ask to test even though I have made several neat maps (none of which are being played or online) but I hope RUSH comes out very soon.

P.S. what you said on ur website 'shadowfortess' about moving on to bigger better things, what is that? are you going to program games or something? work with blizzard? I bet they would love to have you on their staff - make more cool things!

I'm doing a "secret" project to hijack someone's mod community for another game.

No not really. But I am going to do mod/game pretty soon. That's why I'm pressed to finish Rush right now.

Dont 'rush' it!

I tried moving into making more complicated things like a Starcraft mod or an actual standalone game, but found it to be very time consuming to learn and actually do. I just stuck with map making because it was good enough for me... at least it was. I think I'm about ready to try again. Maybe I can help you out, Tux? I have a moderate amount of knowledge of mod-making and programming, and even some digital imaging. =)

Ok, so far I haven't found any more bugs. The only thing now (since my birthday weekend is over) that would slow me down on testing the last couple chapters left would be baseball but I'm sure I'll be able to fit testing in. GJ on fixing the bugs so far, I only have repeated the bug where you burrow and units run over you.

Meh I hate all the secrecacy of this map floating around. If only I could just look at it.

So meh, don't rush, but make it a rush

lol, well keep us updated with the map lad, if there is any chances of another test, plz let me test.

Me first O.O

Well I can't tell you want to do, just be sure to make it worth the wait
