ideas? i have plenty, all of them are impossible until (im hoping) the sc2 editor comes out. what helps me get creative is listening to Avenged Sevenfold for prolonged amounts of time.

randomization is moderate map-making skillage. however, it is, i would think, one of the most important and most used.

Hey man it isnt confusing. just look at it bit by bit. its easier to comprehend when it is already in the editor. however that site was showing you variable and what happens. And guys dont disrespect the forum. Post some ideas for the guy.

-Havean vs hell but have mid ground ( earth ) have an effect on what happens. LOTRish
-Basketball game
-Remake tug-o-war... needs little help and little more moderized

i'm saying like a whole new game

that's asking for a little bit too much. just keep thinking, you'll come up with something eventually. its not like the people that came up with laser tag or cat n mouse do stuff like that daily.

ive been wanting to make a whole new game for the last 7 years... and all i've completed is 10-20 pages of written planning...

Writing for planning to me is so stupid... the ideas get down and then the inperation for me gets killed... jsut get up there start working on it then brainstorm, edit, ect.
But a new game man he is right the stuff isnt made every minuet off the tip of the hat. Actually try making a good king of the hill.. it would be origanal becaue no one has madea final verision of it.

If you want to do something original make an RPG, because basically every other game type has been made in every possible way.

There are plenty of people that will do the trigger and stuff if you do the terrain.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
