The Hunger Games - Releasing August 1st

[Zalot]

Coming August 1st

(Please note that this is not working directly off the books. I am making the however it is the most fun to play.)

About:

16 players will spawn around the lake in the center. They are in small, fenced pedestals. A timer will count down from 20. 3 powerful items spawn in the center of the lake along with a health pickup. They can sprint for the center and take a risk, or flee and head into the forest. When it the timer hits 0, the fences will lower and all players are released. They do not spawn with any items.

Once the games start, you will have stats at the bottom of your screen. Your health (#/200), food (It starts at 50), and hunger, (#/100). Every minute, your hunger will lower by 10. This means that with the food you spawn with, you will starve after 15 minutes. You can find food around the map in hidden cans that store 40 - 60 food. You can also find weapons inside the buildings and ruins. You can form an alliance, hide and wait for everyone to kill each other, or go berserk and kill as many people as you can. It's up to you!

Every 2 minutes and 30 seconds, a random event will happen. It can be anything from zombies spawning in the arena, landmines spawning all over the map, to a supply package spawning in a random location. This works to keep the monotony down.

Pictures:

I wont post any full-map pictures because the fog (Even on maximum) wont let me see the whole map at once. It is also unfinished and has some world holes.

Building:

For the map scale I'm trying to get, I'm going to need more builders than just myself. The map is already massive. You can't see from one end of it to the other with fog on maximum. It needs to be at about twice it's current size though. If you want to help build you must be talented with modular terrain. Anyone who helps build will be added to the betatester list.

Builders:
Currently, just myself. :(

Betatesting:

These are users who are helping to test the map. Currently you cannot apply for this.

Betatesters:
Myself
Zenzil
Cakey
Eepos
Supersylox

Suggestions:

Good ideas are hard to come up with! Post lots of suggestions below and I will consider adding all of them. Random event ideas, location ideas, and general weapons/items I should use!

Public testing for one day only on July 24th!

We will be hosting (16 player limit!) for 1 day on July 24th. Everyone can join and test the mod. Invisible barriers will be placed around certain sections of the map that are not finished, so it wont be a final product.

Be there.

Oh cool this again
Did you use that build I made at all?

Is this still as small as it was when I played it? Can't really tell in the images.

Suggestion for random event

You can maybe spawn Bots with AI dog wild player type, so these can hurt the players c:

Yes.

Here's an image of it's current size. I'm making it larger as we speak though. It's ultra-foggy that high in the air though. Sorry about the quality.

Good idea! I might add this.

No shrubs / rocks? You'll be able to spot someone coming from a mile away.

Each ramp is taller than a player. You can hide in the terrain. It's hard to tell from that photo though.
The trees are pretty thick and players can hide behind them.

I do plan on adding rocks though. They are in some areas already.

[Mega-Bear]

The terrain is really boring and lacks cover. If the trees and terrain really are big enough to provide their own cover, then there's way too much space and walking to other players will take too long.

My suggestion: Add different biomes. Leave some forested areas like in the pictures, but turn other areas into tundra, desert, and swamp. The scenery will be better and combat will be more interesting if it takes place in unique areas with their own defensive/offensive perks.

[Zalot]

There are already 3 biomes.
A forest, a treeless plain (With a mountain), and a very mountainous area with no life. You can't see it in the picture because it is in the area behind me. I plan on adding a snow biome but haven't started yet.

It doesn't take up too much space. If I made it take place in a 64x64 plate arena then it would be over in an instant with no exploration. Modular terrain isn't my preferred tool but you can't make a map of this scale with brickscape.

I accidentally posted this in Gallery rather than General Discussion. I tried to just leave it but it isn't getting much popularity (153 views currently) so I'm going to repost (A revised OP) into general discussion.
