Arena Blueprint Contest

[Trovaner]

For those of you are still working on your entries, please try to get them in ASAP.

The deadline is April 15, 2013, 11:59:00 PM which roughly equates to no more time...

Edit: Don't forget that valid participants may still change their entries until the deadline expires. However, only the most recent valid entry will be used and invalid entries have 24 hours to become valid after I say they are not.

Damnit... I missed this. I have so much stuff to do and I can't do everything in 3 hours. Shame.

[Badger]

I did the 3d thing of mine in an hour and a half, can't be too hard to do a 2d sketch. :P

"The Sawmill"

please excuse my horrible drawing.

KEY=
1 - 4: start positions, 1 = player 1, and so on.
5: vertically spinning gigantic-ass saws that spin and inflict moderate to severe damage (800-1000 or so), should not cause OOTA's
6: flipper. dumps you into 7 after a bot is on there for 2.5 seconds
7: lava pit. similar to electric arena 2's/AON2 arena's damaging pit(s), shouldnt toss the bot as far though
8: wall. does some damage, mostly like the epic showdown arena's wall though, damaging and around the height of 3 grape boxes in the practice arena. wall around saws and pits are raised to avoid OOTA

Neat ideas. Everything looks doable so I'll add you to the entries list.

Less than two hours left for people to get there entries in.

The poll has started.

Please remember that one of the primary points of this contest is to determine an arena that will be made into a tutorial. Ideally, I would want the complexity, difficulty, and personal enjoyment to be your determining factors but you may vote in any way that you see fit.

[Jonzu95]

Ring of Fire gets my vote.

[Conraaa]

I voted for Brunikaal Arena, I'm no arena expert but it seems to tick a fair few of your boxes for your tutorial and it looks like it'd be fun to fight battles on too.

[Thyrus]

I was thinking about what an arena I would`ve liked to see. now I know I want a new king of the hill but well

edit: I think I have an additional idea for lightingS arena (don`t know if that has been posted, havn`t read through the thread)

[Trovaner]

There is a little less than a day left before the poll closes. This could be your last chance to vote or change your mind. It is a really close race so your vote could really make a difference in the results.

[Trovaner]

Congratulations to Lightning S. for winning with the Ring of Fire arena.

[Mecha]

Congrats Lightning, nice arena. :)

[Badnik96]

Dude congrats!

I wanted to enter but I kept putting it off...

If I had to design a Sawmill level, I would probably go for something that resembled the main building of the Team Fortress 2 level of the same name.  It would have both of the two moving sawblades in the arena and in each corner would have something similar to the Pulverizer except with ax heads instead of hammers.  Maybe a drop zone with logs as well.
