OOh i've got another one. Pick a color (Object) palette and make creative concepts with patterns and welds
I love this idea @Ascend Hyperion, but I also think it would be fun if you hosted a special Forge Off like the ones on forgelabs, but with your own twist to it.
Haha, well it's funny that you brought this up. I happen to already have a Forge Off Arena created. But all in due time, all in due time.
I was also thinking of hosting a "Forge Jam" at some point. Evrryone gets 2 or so hours to make a map, but if you wanted to host that or help host it then go for it.
So evil! I don't think I would have ever considered creating lag to use as a game play element. Nicely done. I also like the charge to the center idea... The Game could end before I start utterly hating it. I'll give breakout another chance if your map ideas are like these. I've got two map challenge ideas, both of which I'd like to see forgers use sometimes: No floors. Awful title: Clamboring For Clambor Horizontal one-way shields or blockers as vertical jumping platforms. Like the good ol' 2D platform jumpers where ya don't bump your head on the floor above, but go thru instead. I envision long hallways where the easiest escape is by jumping up to the next level. Put a kill ball or zone at the tip floor.
Hey everyone! Thanks for submitting ideas, many of these are really good and have me pumped for sure! The first 1 Hour Forge Challenge will be streamed today, at 1pm CST! Be sure to tune in on twitch to catch my scramble live! I'll be revealing the theme once we start!
Haha nice. Curious about the theme. I'll be sure to check what you come up with Maybe you can start some sort of a challenge one day. You pick a theme and lets see what people come up within a certain time.
Hey good forging man, you really nailed the theme. You have some good ideas with aesthetics and piece usage. (I never looked at the back of a vending machine lol) I had something completely different in mind when I cooked this up but thats the fun of this I guess, we all have a different view. I would have built a huge submarine in a hangar like Das Boot or some old James Bond movie.
Do a Minecraft theme, then Pokemon theme or even just the best Pokemon statues. You can also try a Nintendo theme!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does the lagged framerate make it hard to move or just hard to see & you can quickly turn around? Found that we can sort of trap players in a rectangle made with two gravity slides that face in opposite directions. You can still move along the path of the slides in either direction, but can barely move sideways since the slides like to pull objects into their centers 90 degrees to the main direction of travel. I'm also wondering if there would be a way to use a teleporter with fixed direction since teleporters always center our view vertically. Can anyone think of a way to detect or ensure that a player is facing a specific direction? @Ascend Hyperion Is there a way to view last week's broadcast now? Was there another one done or any plans for another one? Another idea that could be split with @Wally12 (if he's willing and time-permitting): Monster custom vehicle road kill mini game. Wally (or substitute if we're not lucky enough to enlist him) could rig up a vehicle that has tons of armor that can be rigged to explode and fall off if players can hit some very small targets (like grenades shot with precision weapons). I'm thinking it could be some ridiculous massive contraption / boss battle, like something out of Mad Max (spikes + skulls + bodies!) or that scene from Idiocracy (required watching for the election season here in the US). The vehicles would be supplied beforehand, but a map that would provide fun gameplay for both drivers- running people down and baking them into corners- and for the roadkill- who keep trying to pick apart the vehicle at the weak points or trying to lure them into ambushes or something. A place filled with abuse, constant surprise, chaos, and nowhere to hide for the runners seems ideal. Fully asymmetric gameplay, like good ol' tower of power. I haven't tested how well this would work, so if anyone has tried something similar and wants to comment or try it or pitch in or run with the idea. If anyone just wants to take a giant dump on the idea then they can... Actually, that'd be fun too so have at it. Idiocracy quotes ftw.
I love to see other people working with Wally and his vehicle fetish, but I'm leaving Ascend a note that he'd have to do the scripting.
