Map Madness - the annual Mapping collaboration where-in people make maps following a theme and I string them together into a full game. The first was The Here and Now of Yesterday; the second was Where End Times Saddest Songs, and the next (current) is Apon the Brow of Tomorrow, Clear.

(Also, I could have sworn I'd added a link to that post but I seem to have not done so. Shame on me!)

But, yeah, sign up here: Apon the Brow of Tomorrow, Clear

I think 10 is way too big of a team limit. If the point of a team limit is to keep it fair to single or duo entries, a limit of 4 or 5 would be much more reasonable. That said, it's probably too late to change it now, so just some feedback to consider for the next event.

Horror needs to die.
I cannot fathom why people enjoy shitting themselves.

On a more serious note.....

I'd sooner make the player actually dread something than focus on being "spooky."

>move route (monster): down, down

...Does not a horror game make.

Woot! Having fun over here! Mapping is almost complete! Just the niggly little bits to finish off with.

Character 1 has some custom graphics! I made them myself, but hopefully that won't be a mark against me. Lol. (Yes, I am that bad at art, but I sort of like the character I made, so there.)

Game page coming soon! ( just need me some screenshots...)

Yeah my team already had 8 soo....
Most of the team is involved in the process of making the story so... yeah.

I won't have a game page or anything until like the last week of the competition because I'm doing things extremely systematically. In fact the game probably won't even be completed until the night of the 30th.

Yeah when you start on horror it can mess you up for a while. You get used to it!

I thought team size was unlimited...?

In any case, there's definitely organizational overhead when working with a team larger than say, 3, especially if people have never worked together before. Even with people I've worked with for years, a team size of 6 still requires me to spend about half my time in a manager role anyway. So I really don't think limits are necessary, diminishing returns does the trick just fine.

With the risk of sounding like a bitter loner: Your arguments are not very persuasive when you're in one of the biggest teams.
Also, one person out of six spending some time managing what everyone should do is hardly diminishing returns. More is always better, unless some are total amateurs, in which case you have yourself to blame for letting them on your team.

Edit: By better, I mean faster. And fast is pretty important when you have one month,

That said, I don't really care about team size limits, feel free to add as many as you all want. I just wanted to be contradicting for no reason.

I have so many mixed feelings about so many things. Currently its...

Death vs. auto restart of an area (when a monster catches you)

Death seams like it could be more of a motivator. Still I'm debating about putting a time limit in, so auto restart could work well with that as the clock could keep ticking, you'd just have less time. Anyone have any thoughts either way on this?

How about death AND time limit? Rush, but be careful!
