Workshop Thread


Welcome to the
ARV WORKSHOP THREAD


Here it is our purpose to work with map makers to improve issues we found in their maps. We often find that some of the great maps submitted to our contests don't quite make the cut for tournament worthiness for one reason or another, and here we give map makers a chance to work directly with us to resolve those issues, improve their maps, and create something ready to be used for competitive play.

If you have made a map for one of our contests that either did not make it into the Top 10 or was not found Tournament-Worthy, you may submit it here for workshopping. We, the judges, will provide specific and direct feedback on why the map did not make the cut, and help to provide direction for what you can do to take your map from good to great. If we feel enough improvement has been made for the map, we will accept it for review and playtesting to see if it is ready for competitive play and worthy of the ARV stamp of approval.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use this thread and workshop a map, you must have submitted that map to one of our contests. It doesn't matter if it made the Top 10, or if it was judged tournament-worthy, as long as it was submitted in the first place. WE WILL NOT be workshopping any other maps - this simply isn't the thread for that.


The workshopping process will go as follows:
  1. Resubmit your map for consideration. (Your post must have an image and download file for easy access, preferably both a .pdf and .hsc.)
    Post title must read "Request for Workshopping."
  2. Resubmission should indicate the submitter's end goal, such as simply improving the map by fixing small issues, or reworking the map to make it tournament worthy. Be sure the judges are aware of your intent.
  3. If requested, judges will impart to the builder the issues that were found with the map and suggest specific alterations or adjustments
  4. At least 2 Judges will be required to workshop a map.

If you desire to resubmit your map for consideration of tournament worthiness, the resubmission process will go as follows:
  1. Resubmit your map in a post with a map image and download (both a .pdf and .hsc).
    Post title must read "Request for Review"
  2. The judges will vote on whether or not to accept the map for review and playtesting.
  3. If the map receives a majority vote from the judges, it will undergo the review and playtesting process. A majority vote from the judges after review and playtesting will determine whether it receives the ARV stamp of approval or not.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all maps are competitive. This thread is a tool for both the fun and competitive maps. Feel free to workshop a map to work out kinks, but don't feel it has to be submitted for a competitive review, because even with tweaking, some maps are just not going to have a place in tournament play. Don't feel discouraged if after workshopping the map we still don't feel it is a competitive map; Heroscape is primarily a game of fun, and plenty of maps that don't make it to the competitive scene still see a lot of casual play.
