Hi guys,
I was making a "challenge" map for [IM] clan members and I started to think it might make a good general hazard map for everyone. Its about 95% complete right now, I'm just fixing up lighting and sounds.
Here's how it works. There are four challenges to choose from. A player can pick a challenge and attempt it while other players are free to watch (or fire from) a viewer area setup in each challenge area. It is also possible for multiple players to attempt multiple challenges simultanously (so far untested... but should work).
This is the spawn room where players choose their fate :
The challenges are listed by difficulty :
1. Fire Walk
The challenger must build a bridge over a rising pit of lava to reach the teleporter on the other side.
2. Wall Defense
The challenger has 2 minutes to erect a wall at the bottom of a hill. His wall must defend six nodes spaces across the valley. When time is up a barrage of exploding barrels is launched at the wall.
3. Bunker Seige
The challenger must construct a bunker in the impact pit. After 2 minutes the player must enter the pit center and survive a barrel barrage from all direction. Leaving the center will result in death.
4. Sky Tower
The longest and most difficult challenge. The challenger must build his way up out of a large pit. The he must build up to an even higher platform held above the pit.
Tell me what you guys think about this idea. I will probably start beta testing this soon inviting small groups of people from the irc room. I have completed the challenge numerous times. They are all possible but difficult.
