Holla Forums competitive game

I was reflecting on how games like DoTA started off with a small mod community and went big.

I realized that we don't really use THIS community to build or enjoy anything. We all have a lot of knowledge about video games and we should use our collective minds to build something we enjoy.

Let's build our own competitive game that is played and maintained by this board.

The first thing to settle is: what do we build it in? Should we simply create a mod in StarCraft, Warcraft or DoTA2?

The second thing to settle is: what kinda game will it be?

I feel like the best thing to do is reflect on old arcade games/mechanics (i keep thinking of SMashTV) and see how we can create something fun and competitive out of it.

When I say 'competitive' I don't mean E-SPORTS ONLY OR NO PLAY; I mean, something we can enjoy as a Holla Forums community and continue to build and update.

I hope we can do something fun for once and I hope the mods on this board will support the project.

The reason I would support creating it as a mod in another game is that it will be easy to create updates for it.

Still open to other suggestions.

My second post is an addendum to my first.


Wot

Let's play a game of competitive dubs.

Why so hostile friends?

Oh user don't be silly

there are some good anons here

It's just the topic itself that is going to get you a reaction like this. Lots of people on Holla Forums dislike moba/whateverthefuck you want to call it games so you are just going to get that knee-jerk reaction. Even if you find someone that plays them they aren't usually particularly pleasant to discuss things with.

That aside, while I love wc3 I think its truly dead and buried, not worth sinking the time into making something there. The dota 2 modding scene is pretty fuckin sad too. I don't know a lot about sc or arma but I feel like independently designing and developing something wouldn't actually be that hard nowadays, though you would want to find some dedicated contributors as a skeleton crew (even if they are from Holla Forums) before looking for wider suggestions.

Thanks user. I will follow your advice

See:

As much as I hate admitting it; your efforts are going to be pointless.
If there's anything we've learned from YanDev is that pandering to whole interests of this board is going to end in complete pain and suffering. Even if you're not as thin-skinned little attention whore like him. It will never work out. You're much better off catering to leddit if you really want to try to do something. But I'll humor you regardless.

Firstly, as mentioned; w3 modding scene's pretty much dead and the tools are really out of date. Nor would it be to add another ASSFAGGOT or similiar game into the mix and even if I did enjoy the small bit of ASSFAGGOTS 2 mods there were, the source 2's toolkit's a massive pain in the ass to work with other than for mapping. Doesn't help that progressively Valve is losing support for the modding community. However if Valve ever does release the full toolkit of Source 2 like they had with regular Source then I'll more than likely recommend that then any suggestion you have here. Arma 3 is your most likely candidate for anything even if it is a buggy and unoptimized piece of software with so many issues with AMD chips that it would make Intel blush. Plus I very much doubt you will need all of Arma's tools to develop what we want. However there is one major issue.

If you're going to develop a game or a mod then why choose engine first then decide on the idea? It should be the other way around since you may pick a specific engine that caters to your idea for the game. Basically, don't be like Star Shitizen and pick something because it looks pretty or even familiar.

I have no fucking clue what you are doing but I hope that it works out regardless if this is just some attention whoring or not. Lastly,
kys OP you stupid fucking faggot.

I would help out with programming it but I am already working on my dream game.

What's your dream game?

I came here from the future, i need to warn you op.
You may consider my message an allegory, if you wish. Holla Forums always succeeded in popularizing video games and popular culture. Minecraft, fnaf, mlp, undertale, dark souls, starfield - all this shit was initially popular on Holla Forums before any other resources. The influence of Holla Forums explodes extraordinary. And same will happen with your project.

You will succeed, but at very big prize. You will create new competitive genre, that will turn into huge cancer popular with normalfags. Be careful what you wish to create, user. Because you will regret everything. And remember - future refuse to change.

Also Trump will continue to help israel causes, and attack syria again.

Not going to say since the idea itself I hope is quite unique but let's say it's heavily inspired by pic related.

Thank you Future Trunks. Tell your dad he needs to take his medication.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT STOP MAKING ME LAUGH

don't get me completely wrong, I do like competitive videogames and I mean actual 1v1 competitive sport, not some other autistic retard """""SPORTS"""" like the osu! esports garbage they're doing which is like a sport without conflict, (note: a fucking meme) or something so simple and bland like dota or wc3 that makes building lego pieces a routine and simply wasted TIME as compared to much faster games where dead air isn't even a thing. Compare mobas / rtses vs fps (arena-based) / fighting (none of the gay shit)

But there's a fucking game that is one hundred percent certified alright and is as competitive as it needs to be. If the game ever becomes shit, don't worry it's GPL'd meaning you can just make your own fork of the source code.

also fuck off with the tripfagging and come back a billion years

I cant decide which of you is more gay.

This board is full of useless shitheads. I only come back sometimes for quick no-bullshit vidya info, but anyone who is useful in ANY way whatsoever would never waste their potential creating something in this fucking godforsaken shithole. Maybe you can draw gay furry porn and anons will jack off to it. I actually think 4/pol/ is probably better at this point, even with the shills. All the regulars here belong in the gaschamber for real.

And Mark the dumb kike is a horrible moderator. The only thing I'll give Mark is he doesn't subvert this place. Holla Forums's moderator, imkampfy, is a proven kike who actively subverts Holla Forums to ensure that they are ineffective. This is 100% proven true. Anyone who uses 8/pol/ is a shill, a jew, or a retard getting reamed by the former two. And some anons here also visit Holla Forums. Holla Forums is dead. It has gotten to be worse than 4chan, which shouldn't even be possible. I recommend leaving. I myself only visit on occasion, and I'm always sad to see the sorry state of things.

You forgot to mention /hwndu/. nationalism of Holla Forums is not truly serious, its serious trolling, not serious lifestyle, almost no Holla Forums user lives with what he says on that board, don't even think that there are /fit/ aryans making children

Also nice derail, faggot.

Make a race war themed Battlefront-like game.

You'll never make anything

You're an optimistic man OP, have a bump.

Never

Let's make something out of this thread. What games does Holla Forums think are worthy of being considered a "sport", or at the very least have professional tournaments?

OP is a fag from plebbit.

checked.
