Mapmakers can post their projects here, and for 2 weeks per month, we will test and discuss the project in a separate thread. The only requirements are that "you" are active during the 2 weeks, to respond to feedback. Trieva and I will be testing and leaving feedback, and attempting to gather more feedback for you. I will be making short videos of my first impressions on the project, to post in the topic for the project. I would love for anyone interested in making videos, to make their own as well.
After the 2 week testing period, there will be 2 weeks of "nothing" to give testers a break, and to ensure we always have projects que'd up.
Post your project suggestions here, I will try to keep an updated list on this main thread.
Cool! Good to see the awesome community testing continue!
But 1st allow me to congratulate Trieva and GlornII becoming the site moderator. Conratz!
2nd, imo it'd be better to put the dependencies requirement for the maps such as "wol, hots, lotv" and also what kind of map they are such as "single player, online, pvp etc"
And also, the general guide such as "what tester think about : 1. Difficulty , 2. Terrain etc".
Great ideas, but I am not sure I understand the second section about, well I do t know, it starts with "And also, the general...".
Also what percentage of testers do you think will come over from the BWTT to here?
Also do you think Ye olde Jayborino and Deltron will join in on the 'renewed' BWTT?

This is PM I sent a few hours after GlornII made the first post:
Hello Trieve and Glorn!
I am very happy that you are continuing the bi-weekly testing thread. I have posted a post on the BWTT telling people to come the MCPT. I would like to be partially tester. What I mean is sometimes I will not have time to test, partly because it takes like 20 min to load anything from the editor. I would also like to put my map that is going to be released soon... ...but I would not like to go first, unless you want me too. I want to wait until it is released first. Anyway I hope the MCPT is as popular as the BWTT, and I really hope jayborino and Deltron test too, and make videos of it. I will post a version of this on the MCPT after a day so after people know about it on the BWTT.

Well what I mean was to put something like this for the tester to fill in :
- Mission difficulty : Easy? Hard? What the tester thinks.
- Terrain : ok? Good ? What the tester thinks.
- Etc.
Most definitely avoid something like :
- It was ok
- Meh
- Don't like
- Etc.
Hmmm ... well imo it will depends on how many author use which dependencies for their maps. I myself can not open most map after Nova dlc. So when the author include them I will have to sit that map out.
But Judging from the numbers of feedback from my 2 maps from the bi - weekly about 50%.
Ah yes, the youtubers. As you can see they already have their channel planned. And that is a lot of custom campaign to play.
I am not sure about Jay since it's been 4 months since he played HoD mission 07. You will have to ask him that yourself.
Deltron is very likely will Join, but like I said before you will have to ask him that yourself.
Ok yeah I agree with everything you just said! I will PM Deltron to ask him soon too.

My plan was to be the first tester, and post the project page myself, filling the above in. I would like to get a write up from the mapmaker though, a game description. 100 words or less (so they don't ruin their own game for us). I didn't want to over clutter the intro post here, so left a lot out, like December 1 is the starting date!
I'm glad others are willing to continue this. If there are any mods that could get this up on the front page like Moz did, that would be great. I had the original BWTT idea, but it was very reliant on having him sticky posts and change the Front Page Recent Events links. Ultimately, the # of participants dwindled so I think this less frequent format is more beneficial.
I'd like to make videos in the future, but I've been living off of a backlog of videos (besides that retrospective I just made) lately because I've been very busy at work and holiday travel is upcoming.

Visit my channel where I showcase custom content! Send me a PM or respond to my YouTube thread if you'd like to see your map/s on my channel (eventually!)
If this is still going on when I have a project ready for testing, I'll be sure to make use of it. Thanks for giving the community more tools to showcase their talent and improve upon their skills.
Yes I got a PM from GlornII saying that he contacted mozares (I think that is Mozared) and he said yes, we are now just waiting for him to log on.
I yeah not surprised about the holiday, Christmas coming up!
Before you will maybe make videos of it, will you be testing the maps?

Glad to hear you guys are trying to revive the testing thread. I will definitely be testing the maps and making videos when I'm free and when not on travel, which I find myself doing a lot more lately.

Check out my YouTube channel for test playthroughs of custom campaigns as well as editor tutorial videos. Mapmakers, don’t hesitate to PM me if you would like me to test your campaign.
I'm glad to see so many people are interested. Except uhhh, anyone have a project to suggest? Myself, treiva, and r0b do, but don't want to que ourselves up until we are short on participants.
I should have something by next month, but until then you can try CybrosX's campaigns. He's done some interesting things in his zerg one, and Wrath of the Tal'Darim will have its first mission pack releasing sometime soon.
I am very happy petiole are still interested in the testing, making videos and giving feedback! I was warried that it would not be as popular, but it is! Yay! I hope someone presents something to test and give feedback soon!

If you guys like, I can also record a video as part of my feedback. I've been wanting to find a way to contribute something to the community for a while now, and I think video essay reviews are something I'm capable of producing depending on the project that's at hand.
Excited to be a part of the initiative regardless of my function in it, however, and I'm looking forward to offering both projects to review and reviews for projects. Hopefully, we'll see more activity around the forum and more projects crop up as a result of this kind of initiative. Definitely makes me feel like I'm making the correct decision in transitioning from Brood War to SC2.

I agree, give some suggestions of projects even if they are not yours.
I would like to point out though. Make sure you get permission to request someone else's map, and make sure they know about it. Silly to give good feedback to someone who isn't interested.
