UPDATED REGULARLY

Introduction
Ok so I'm all "bounded" out from making bound2bleed and thought it was time to make an arena type map....and finish it this time (as is always the case, but for some reason making a "maps in pro" thread helps with the latter part).

So here's me introducing the new map (named above).

Specifications
Team based game but any combination: 3v3,2v2,1v1,3v1,2v1 etc..
You will have a virtual health bar on the minimap for your zergling.
Installation terrain

Details
As the name suggests it will be mad and in a closed space so you have no choice but to do some damage!

What's new?
Basically you have one unit (a fast-paced zergling) and you work with your team mates(or solo) manipulating your primary weapon (a beam) to hit the other units.
The better you guys are at manipulating your beam the more weapons you get and the more powerful your beam will become as you'll have to hit the powerups to get them.

Hard to explain but it's all in that thing called a brain!

Explanation of Beam and game idea

(More screenshots and info to come)

Weapons and powerups so far.
(done) / (Work In Progress) / (to be done)

[attachmentid=20926]
Primary Beam Weapon
(DMG = 1)

[attachmentid=20927]
More Beam Ammo
(+2 Observers/ammo)

[attachmentid=20930]
Missiles 1
(DMG = 5)
[attachmentid=20931]
Missiles 2
(DMG = 2 x 5)

Capture Enemy Beam
Destroy Enemy Beam
Homing Missiles
Shield
Mines
Minions

My aim with this map is to make a fun, easy to understand, frantic battle game. Something like wall ball and basketball combined but with no dropping of units only aiming and working together...Good idea?

I...can't really imagine what this map is going to be like

But that virtual health bar sounds nice

Let's hope you'll get some screenshots done soon

And yes, I AM the smiley master

You show too little information to the public. Most interesting part for me is how will you aim the beam with your zergling ?

ADDITION:
And what the beam will be like ?

Seems interesting, if you need a tester PM me.

Yeah, sounds interesting, but can get boring and frustrating fast. Also, you barely have two pages of info, and your description tells me your map will suck. So in other words, you need to explain everything thouguhly, in which it will appeal to me. Like the other users said, 'How will everything work?'

Anyway, good luck on your map.

Ok guys. Now that I've done some of the map I can explain it better.

Holy macaroni

I like this maps already

Just a few questions...:

•So each player has a health bar of his own?
•How does the calculation work?
•Each time your Zergling dies you lose one of your health bar buildings?
•And Overlords are power-ups?
•Or are there other units, too?
•Do you get a random power-up?
•And what do you need to hit with the beam anyway?

Guess that's all for now

1•Yea
2•You have 100 spider mines for health. When an observer hits your ling, you lose one. Other weapons will do more damage and you'll be able to heal.
3•Yea but spider mines not buildings. Your ling doesn't die until your whole health bar is gone. You see damage FX (a burrowed ling under it dies). The % of your zerglings health (its invincible FYI) will decrease as well so you get a visual on it. I might even make a feature where your ling slows down, as if wounded, when critical health.
4+5•Not just overlords but yea. They are just one type. Ill have other units for different powerups.
6•I might have a random power-up in there....nice idea.
7•The other teams zerglings whilst dodging their beam with your zerglings.

ADDITION:
Updated the info sheet at the top for you guys.
Check out the screen shots and tell me what you think please.

Thats awsome man, may I be one of ur testers? Also when you fire where does it go?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Grizzly(B2BF) on 2006-09-15 at 10:07:44

When you fire it just aims to where an enemy player is (random as to which it shoots for). The missiles so far are not homing and have a limited range. The homing missiles will follow the path of the enemy and have maybe a different range and slower firing speed.

As for testers yea you can. But I just create a map and use randoms to test it as I find it's easier. If you spot me online just ask an I'll be glad to let you
