Since there are many of them, can you make sure you have
The video
The description
The map download
all in the same post and not split around 3 differents posts. It gave me a hard time for the cinematic contest :)
If you need someone to make you a video, please write in big (write in a line "== I need a video") that you need a video, so it is really easy to know what is left :)
on another note, im happy we get our minigame contest because its really really more easily approachable than doing custom units with attachment points and generated wapons..
The goal is to make many different contests to cover all the spectrum of the Galaxy Editor and especially new things. For example the spell contest was launched to make great use of the new Data editor and actors. The creature contest was about attachements and the cinematic contest was to promote the new lightning stuff.
Minigame contest is all about gameplay. It is less a technological challenge and focuses on what the editor was made for: making great games!
I really hope that many of you will participate. A minigame can be done in an evening, it does not have to be big to be fun :)
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'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 :)
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 ...
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.

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