If you have played Warcraft 3 custom maps you must have made at least one game of Uther Party. This is a map that regroups a lot of small minigames. The goal of this contest is to take this idea and make a lof of new minigames :)
What to do?
You have to make a minigame.
You can submit as many entries as wanted as long as they are all differents.
Since Battle.net is down, the minigame must be playable solo.
In order to avoid people using already made map and to make it possible in a small amount of time:
The map size must be 64x64
Dialogs are allowed BUT the minigame must use the terrain.
What you have to give
You have to provide a youtube video. If you can't record, post the map and ask, someone will help you recording it :)
You have to attach the map used to take the video
Deadlines
You have 8 days to complete this contest.
End of the submissions: Wednesday, July 28th - Midnight PDT (Los Angeles) [Thursday, July 29th - 9 AM GMT (Paris)]
A public vote will be held after the end of the submissions to decide who wins.
Reward
The main goal of the contest is to further community development within GalaxyEdit. The rewards can be see as follows:
Now this is not a contest entry but I actually won my beta key by making something similar in a contest for gamereplays.org. Maybe it can serve as an inspiration to people for some minigame ideas.
In what way do you mean "Must use terrain" cant I use buttons?
Yes you can use buttons, but it must not be 100% made of dialogs :) For example if you are making a tic tac toe, the board game should be made of terrain + units. And of course you can have buttons to (re)start a game, chose the color ...
Love it..
Quite simple yet much room for advancements.
You could record all actions for a lap into a array and then play it back as a "ghost car" for the best lap.
Are you going to do a Mapster Minigame Collection map that combine every minigame submitted here ? Also, can we hold reserve for map idea in this contest. People will end up making minigames of the same type (even with slightly difference in ideas)
I've been thinking of it but I don't know how hard it will be to merge the maps together.
The way I (well Sholdak had the idea!) see it done would be to take let say the 10 best minigames and pass the map around, each author adding his minigame to the global map. Having one people making the merge is like an impossible task.
There will be conflicts with the tilesets, the init triggers and it's going to be hell to copy & paste all the terrains, units, datas, regions ... But well, it would be SO cool!
About holding an idea, nah! If many people make the same game, it will force them to be creative to stand out, and that is what we want :)
It should be impossible with different tileset, turn on/off a lot of trigger, name conflict... But we can still have a main map and load existing minigames when chosen. (like the Stargate Galaxy map, I dont really know how it work though) We can have a map pack for people to download. Not sure how that work in bnet
I've finished my Minigame called Marine Rescue where you control a medivac and fly above a marine and it will rescue him. You lose minerals over time (Time Remaining) and you gain more when you save the marines. It needs a little work with the difficulty modes, but I still need help with making a video cuz i can't lol.
Now that I think about it, I'll just increase the difficulty to about medium.
I am still confused about what Curse Premium actually does :/
I wish you guys would start giving some different awards even if they are just like an icon or something, like they do on the Hive. It's all for the fun of the mapping of course, but awards are nice.
Curse Premium is mostly WoW stuff for now. However in the future there is going to be Starcraft 2 related stuff with it.
About icons, do you mean custom avatar? People can already customize their avatar. I'm really open to any suggestion for the rewards as I know the Curse Premium is really useless for you guys.
Anyway, if you make it to the first 3 you get a front-page news with your name on it :) That's also another "bonus".
I love the style you got there, looks neat. Would be fun if someone took the time to make a spore type of game (just make it better than spore as it was booooring in the endgame).

It's like wario ware but for sc2 (but made in flash).

Singleplayer or multiplayer?
However if it is also playable in multiplayer that's better :)

Can we make a single map with multiple entries on it? Allowing you to choose which Minigame youd like to play, in one map?
@Brauzeit: Go
Sure. If they are somewhat similar. If not, you can still submit 2 maps (entries)

Wow, that looks really cool :) Reminds me of Spore.

You can give profile titles, special name colors, *shrug* that kinda stuff that can be seen on our forum posts I guess.
