Yes, and if you choose to not make anything else, I guess you could think about remaking that shitty Halloween map Witching Hour

Well, the results are overwhelming. Project SC2: Maze will begin immediately. Well, when I'm not playing dwarf fortress anyway.

So thanks all for coming.

I'm not actualy sure what my plans are going foward. My todo list to "complete" EotA is actualy fairly short already (creep revamp, last hero or two + playing with the AI some more for my own amusement). But at this point games are becoming increasingly difficult to get together even on planned test games. Today was a blast but I'm not sure how much of that was contingent upon the belief that this was the last game day.

I think today's games were mostly fun due to Mills slaughtering the opposing team every game.

Just do whatever you feel like you want to do this time.

Here's my decision:

I'm going to continue work on EotA for another or two, mostly because I want to play around with the AI some more. If turnout is still completley dismal, then it'll be fix up last bugs and balance tweaks and just finalize it. If there is a turnout, I'll try to do a big push/rush to plow through the creep revamps and final additions. Exact timelines are all tenative on the fact that I need to move this month but I'm not sure where I'm going yet since I'm unemployed.

Nobody is stupid enough to make a brand new map for a game that is dead, so stop encouraging a waste of time.

Also:

Earlier today, Blizzard posted a job posting for an Assistant Technical Designer, which is a position targeted specifically at us mod makers. From what I've gathered, the position involves working directly within the GalaxyEditor to work on Blizzard DOTA and/or the future campaigns. I know there are a lot of us Mapsters out there that meet all the requirements/plusses for the position. Anyone serious about joining the ranks of the Big Blue should certainly check out (and apply!) for this position.

I'm going to apply to that for the hell of it, but they'd probably hire someone that made something like candy wars ;P

Of course this doesn't look like the person who designs shit, only the person who makes it work. There's also a completely seperate issue of even if there is design allowed, EotA and DotA aren't at all the same thing, and I highly doubt they're interested in having me go off on my own direction. I've actualy considered applying for designer positions for some of the AoS makers but I KNOW I would end up heavily conflicting with the person in charge cause EotA is such a different approach then DotA even though there are similarities.

What?
Weeks. Although it came to my attentin that this week is easter so I should probably expect a low turnout due to people being with families. Of course, it also means special easter additions.
