    STORYLINE OF THE DAMNED: (you must read to understand game)
    ok so you and your friends are all pwning other newbs on V.I.P. custom games, right? well you just got done smothering a particularly newbish group, when they all leave the party, and one person joins. but this isn't just anyone, this persons gamertag is: THE DEVIL.

    well you and your friends laugh at his lame name... but then he starts to speak in his dark and evil voice, sooo chaotic, that you know this guy muse be the real deal...
    he says:
    "why hello there, i have heard you are the best V.I.P. players around, and i'd like to see just how good you guys really are"

    All of a sudden, your V.I.P. disappears, you hear the devil laugh, and your screen goes black...

    you find yourself in a small room with multiple hallways leading out

    you think to yourself: "its a maze!"

    once again, you hear the devil's malicious voice:
    "WELCOME, TO THE OFFICIAL VIP UNDERWORLD ARENA!!!!!!! somewhere in this maze, there is a portal, a portal that is blocked, keeping your old V.I.P. trapped in the cage of the damned, if you do not release him soon, you all will be trapped here, in the underworld,
    as my eternal slaves, but if you do rescue him, and then bring him back to where you started, you will go in peace and live the rest of your days without my involvement, however, there are my warriors of the damned in here, trying to protect the portal, and stop you. can you make it??? lets find out...
    LET THE VIP GAME OF THE CENTURY COMMENCE!!!!"

    PICTURES OF THE DAMNED:
    as you can see, the maze is very tight, with many hallways and corners everywhere:
    [​IMG]

    here is a better view with no ceiling, of how dense this underground arena really is:

    also, along your way, there will be signs to guide you, as you see they can be VERY helpful MUAHAHAHAHAHA

    here is where you unblock the portal, and release your V.I.P.

    and finally, here is where your V.I.P. is being held, in the CAGE OF THE DAMNED:

    now, for some
    GAMEPLAY PICS OF THE DAMNED:

    heres a funny little situation i got into:
    [​IMG]

    and this shows that V.I.P's are stronger than shotguns, but they cannot regain the health they lost:
    [​IMG]

    Very interesting concept, also very original.

    I'll download it, but not until tomorrow. My que is full, and Xbox Live is down for me at the moment.

    One problem I see is that it wouldn't be all that fun to be the VIP. To just have to sit there until your teammates unblock the teleporter.

    I watched the videos and I actually like how narrow the hallways are, gives it a claustrophobic feeling, which you don't see all that often, and in this case it seems it contributes to the gameplay. Also, do you have more than one life?

    Are there like mongooses that you jump through the wall with? or did you use teleporters

    yes, you have unlimited lives, but a limited time, (5 minutes) and as for the VIP, there are random fence walls all over the ceiling of the mazes, where they can see through, and tell there allies where the enemie is, and when i was the VIP, i found myself having a good time, as you can see in the second video.

    and to the other post, there is a teleporter that is block by the dumpster that you see in the picture, and when you hit the custom powerup, it moves, and the teleporter is unblocked

    Yeah, I suppose the fence walls could be used to your advantage. I just think if you had a bunch of people playing on the map for the first time, the VIP would be all like "WTF I can not get out of dis room!!!!!11". But after they realize what was going on, they wouldn't mind it.

    yah, and thats why it is VERY important to explain the game to people before they start it, because some stupid people sometimes release the enemy VIP, with no idea whats going on.

    wow!!!!!!! i never would have thought of making the signs "talk"
    als the neatness is very good and the gameplay seems okay, but not perfect. 4/5

    sure thing: so all of the team spawn inside of the box where the vip is, but there are lots of fusion coils, that immediately blow up, and never respawn, so it kills everyone, but the vip is a little stronger so he lives, and his teammates spawn inside the maze!

    If no one believes us about those signs... y'all are crazy, I mean running into the wall is magical, its actually the greatest experience of my life, those signs rules, trust me I placed most of them :). This is my first forge hub map as well I am happy it got pretty good feed back ^_^. I love the morons who play this and release the enemy VIP and get their ass kicked its awesome lol.

    Like Wiggum said about the maze, he can't figure it out yet, I got a good idea of where I am going but I can't perfect it every time.

    well i dont understand what you mean by the signs talking, and which thing is not perfect, gameplay, or neatness, because if all the walls were perfectly straight, then the maze would not work, as there would be hallways you could not fit through.

    oh this is very similar to the idea I was talking about in my discussion thread. But on mine the map is rat's nest and the VIPs are kept in the "control room" above rocket spawn. nice execution
