EVENT COMPLETED HERE IS THE VOD STRAW POLLS WERE MADE FOR EACH MAP SEE EACH MAP RATING IN THE PLAYLIST BELOW ** Follow me on Forgehub to get alerts when I make these posts ** Reply to this thread if you have a map you would like to test Event Time: Saturday at 8PM EST Event Location: www.twitch.tv/iParaTVImportant note: Stream audio is configured so the stream will hear everything everyone says. On that note i believe it to be necessary to mention that all talkative, nonsensical 12 year olds need not apply. Event Details: For the last few weeks I have hosted a customs event on Saturdays. Each event lasted about 5 hours as we tested over 20 different maps. The idea behind these custom game events is to give map developers a chance to see their maps played, give the community a chance to see what we've done with forge, and give my friends and I an opportunity to have some great Saturday gaming. By the end of the week I will choose 15-20 maps for the event. Once again I will try to spread out the gametypes between competitive, action-sack, and some clever, custom creations. Event Duration: I would estimate the duration of the stream to be about 2-3 hours. Last time it was 5 hours, as was the time before that, and next time it could be 10 hours. Depends on the traffic, the atmosphere, and the fun. Event Feedback: If you attended the last event, either by watching the stream or playing in the lobby, how could I make the next event better? Did you like the custom videos I did for the event such as the intro video and the map previews? Would anyone be interested in making videos, or first releasing videos you make on the stream? Message me for details but I have a really good idea about how we can cross-market the content we work hard to produce in result we will achieve better results together. Event Schedule: I will update this post with a list of maps lined up for the testing event. Feedback will be actively provided through stream.

Turf has the Scarab now, so I'll submit that one. I'd like to put up the newest version of Reliquary, but I think people might be getting tired of that map by now. I'll give it a little break.
I’ve made a reimagination of the Halo Reach/4 minigame “Episphere.” It’s still a WIP, but it should be fun to try out. It should support any number of players- more players, more chaos, and that’s what the map is all about.
My BTB map Echoes definitely needs a playtest, especially now that I've fixed the spawns (both bases had blue initial spawn points. whoops.) GT is The Grim Dealer.
I'd like my map Vostok Outpost 0.7 to be tested if possible. Probably 8-12 man Team Slayer. Map preview in my sig
Trying to test my Lockout-inspired Breakout arena, Deadlock. Gamertag is TheGreatBrownie. Video walkthrough here:
It would be great to get some more thorough testing of my BTB map. 'CHECKPOINT 19' Gamertag: Tenstonio Current version is v1.6 but by the time you download it it may be higher so please use the most recent. Thanks!
I'd love to get my map in. It's called "Dormant" and is currently on version 2.0. It's a rotationally symmetrical team arena map built for 4 - 8 players. Would love some feedback on it. Here's a link. FYI the screens on that page are not the most recent. I've made some big changes that make the map look and play a lot better; I just haven't had a chance to upload new screens yet. I should be able to join the party as well and play for a while.
GT: t0astman I'd like to submit my 4-8 player map, Excalibur for testing. A battle on the roof of a planetary weapons platform. beta v2 is the latest edition in my bookmarks. I'll get a forgehub content page up tonight. I've got to take some proper screens and make a basic walk through video on top of cleaning up some cameras and blah blah.
Nope not getting tired of it. After all the refinement and polishing it desirves more playtime. I added it and Turf - Are you ok with the player count I listed for those two? I don't remember that minigame but I'm looking forward to it! BTB maps are given a very warm welcome for these events because we're usually pretty full and always have people watching the stream wanting to get in on the action. I'll check out the preview tonight. Added it to the playlist. Cant check out the video while at work (on my lunch). I will tonight. Is this intended to be a breakout map? We usually have a pretty full lobby. Will it support 8v8? That would be awesome Awesome, thanks for submitting! Added your map to the playlist Natabase, I added it to the list but will your map support more than that amount of players? Same question for you, Toastman. Will it support more than 8? Previously we've had a pretty full lobby but that really doesnt provide beneficial testing a large amount of the time. Depending on the atmosphere I may restrict the lobby and try to run 4v4s and 2v2s during the event. If that doesn't work then I'll organize another event for smaller lobbies that way more effective testing can be done on 2v2 and 4v4 designed maps.
i don't think i'm going to be awake for testing for awhile so could you get a game or 2 on simplexion for me? 4 - 8 players
I've made some changes to Cavalcade if you'd be down to play it again. I altered the middle area a bit and a majority of the framerate issues have been fixed. We played 16 people CTF on it last night and it was a blast, final score was 2-2 after overtime. The spawns support 16 people with no issues. Once I fix a few lighting problems on the map, I'll be posting it everywhere. Had a ton of fun in your lobby last time, hopefully I can take part in this again.
My map gets busy with more than 8 players. Its a healthy frantic battle at 8, made for contemplative flanking with 4 players.
I have a 16 person BTB map that has not been play tested yet due to it needing so many people, it would be amazing if I could see Slayer/Flag/Strongholds on it. My gamertag is xInhaleExhale, and the map is Acquisition.
Morslupus here and I got 2 maps for fun times. Mantis Arena 1 and 2. Videos: Mantis Arena 1 (7v7 Breakout) http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/MorsLupus/video/13484252 Mantis Arena 2 (8v8 Strongholds) http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/MorsLupus/video/13725774 Sadly, Mantis Strongholds only works on Arena 2, due to Arena 1 being glitched out with that stupid "You cannot spawn in even though you have both spawn points AND respawn points". Anyway, these would make good intermission type games for when everyone gets sick of normal gametypes and gamemodes (Which is kinda hard to do with awesome maps, but never hurts to break things up a bit.)
I would be very appreciative if my Breakout map, Gazebo, had a proper 8 player test. The thread linked below contains screenshots, a brief description, and a longer description as well. GT: ToRn1ne Gazebo WIP thread
