hey. so i just realized something critical about the new contest.
how am i supposed to test my map? it is supposed to be multi-player, so i would want to test it in a multi-player environment. and yet, i wouldn't want to include too many of the other contestants? in other words. i need to test my map. and i don't want to host random Bnet games, but i don't think its right to test it with other contestants. anyone got suggestions? |

its not the bugs im worried about. its the legnth of gameplay the fun and how oftern certain interactions will occur that im worried about.
i want to make sure its also enjoyable/balanced and fun, not just bug free. |

In that case you should either get some friends to play it with you, gather some clan members (aka contestants :s) or publicly host it on BNet. There really isn't any other choice.
To be honest I only played my minigame 1v1 with my little sister, to check whether it would be fun, and at least a bit close to balanced. I dunno what kind of map yours is, but usually you can check a lot with just 2 players. |

I really don't think there will be much of a prob to test with contestants, minigames wil lbe diff after all and stealing ideas wont be too devastating
