Blizzard Christmas Contests


Blizzard has announced two Christmas contests: a card-making contest and a dessert-making contest!
Quote
One Blizzard holiday tradition involves creating a festive greeting card to share the joy of the season... with a unique Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo touch. We're inviting you to join us in spreading the holiday cheer by crafting a Blizzard-themed holiday card of your own featuring characters or themes from the Warcraft, StarCraft, or Diablo series.
More info can be found here.

Everyone enjoys the holiday tradition of sharing a meal with family and friends -- and desserts are big part of the reason why. This year, we're hungry to see you spread holiday joy from your kitchen by cooking up sweet culinary creations -- and finishing them off with a Blizzard touch.
More info can be found here.

The top 5 winners of each contest receive the following:
- Razer Banshee Gaming Headset
- Razer Marauder Gaming Keyboard
- Razer Spectre Gaming Mouse
- Signed Collector's Edition of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
- Signed Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

Plus, don't forget Blizzard's comic contest, at http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/comic/



New Community Projects


Shangri La
LoveLess's AoS-style map project.

Alright, so apparently there is some interest in making this into an SC2 project to get a hands-on feel for the features. I am not aiming to make this a public-hit, it is more so a test for our own ends to further the project. For quite some time, this is going to be an SEN-only map and your friends can play, but I don't want to release it until it is in a beta-type status. That is far in the future though... So let's just toss that aside. Anyone who doesn't know what a MOBA is, the term was coined by Guinsoo who created the ideas for recipes and runes in Defense of the Ancients, but is now working for League of Legends. It stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, which defines what Defense of the Ancients(DotA), Aeon of Strife(AoS), Heroes of Newerth(HoN) and League of Legends(LoL) all are.
More information on that one is available at http://www.staredit.net/topic/12938/ and http://www.staredit.net/topic/12947/


SEN Arena is a new map being developed based on the contributions of various SEN members. Each member involved is making his or her own hero that will be included in the final map, as well as helping to create any arenas that may be playable in the final release. Ultimately each hero will be balanced out and usable in various game modes and team types.

If you'd like to contribute a hero, have any arena ideas, or you'd like to read more about the project, check out SEN Arena.

This is showing new community projects. Plus with Swarmed Heroes being constantly updated, it just seems like Infiltration RPG is unnecessary.

It's just that I saw that Swarmed Heroes actually had potential, yet it is still missing some features to make it interesting, so I keep updating it until I have some stuff to do on Infiltration RPG.
Currently, all we're waiting for is a Terrainer: Temp and I would like to field-test the spells by creating some specific scenes (remember Swarmed Heroes' spells are slightly modified spells taken from Infiltration RPG to fit the gameplay). :(



None.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless
[2024-5-06. : 5:02 am]
Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value
[2024-5-06. : 5:01 am]
Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius
[2024-5-06. : 3:04 am]
Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- that is insane
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
[2024-5-04. : 10:53 pm]
Oh_Man -- https://youtu.be/MHOZptE-_-c are yall seeing this map? it's insane
