Hi, my name is Durandal on bnet and I made the current top-page map Zergling Blood 2010.
I think it needs a LOT of work, I hope people find it fun but I never really meant for it to be in release state.
MOSTLY: I really need to figure out how to set up the lobby. Right now it seems to place people into 5 vs 3 teams. I have no idea why, hosts say they cannot adjust this and it's pretty unfair.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to set up Game Variants or otherwise setup the lobby? I've never looked into it and I think it's critical for a top-page game if I want to stay up there. I'm pretty annoyed that it's pitting people in unfair teams, and I can't really push changes to the map without changing it for everyone, so I want to be sure to get this part right
If it's like phase 2 of the beta, each game variant gets its own entry in the games list, and there's a default custom game variant that you can't remove as far as I know. I remember a thread about how to set up game variants without causing an error, I'll see if I can find that and add it to my post. Either way, even once you get the correct game variant it can be hard to make it more popular than the default variant that was up there first.
I don't have my copy of the game till Thursday (I ended up having it shipped to me instead of getting it in store, long story) so I can't test publishing yet to help you out much there.
