    Hmmmm. Well, I guess this just isn't the game for me. 

    Sorry to hear that.

    Though to be fair to NQ, this was always stated as the intention from the beginning: The arkship safezone(s) and the rest is like EVE: PvP weapons free (not free of weapons).  The MSA's are a recent welcomed addition.

    This opens the possibility of player-created PVP games, on the ground or in space, on foot or in vehicles, using all the same tools you've already developed....  Quidditch on Speeder Bikes anyone?

    This will happen regardless. Will these type of games be 100% without risk? No.  But I am sure we can get by with a little help from our friends. ;)

     

    DICE Den: Pitch an in-game game idea. Win prizes.

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    Voting is closed and the winning entry is Flipmaze by Ben Fargo

     

    The voting thread and winning announcement can be found here: 

     

    The DU Community in-game game idea pitch competition. Welcome to the DICE Den.

     

    Note: Please keep discussions about a specific ideas in a separate thread, this thread is for entrants. (Putting this first so that it is hopefully read)

     

    What is it? A DU community competition, here on the forums, where anyone can suggest an in-game game and then the community will vote for their favourite.

    (Scribbles are welcome)

     

    Rules:

    1. The game must take place in playing field of at most 110x75 meters with a height of 50 meters inside Dual Universe (give or take a few meters) and should cater for spectators.
    2. A single post may be made per person detailing their idea. Keep it under a few paragraphs, enough to get the idea across. Pictures (even mspaint drawings) may be beneficial, but keep them few. While this is more a sales pitch than a complete design, if you feel inspired, just DU it.
    3. Entrants are free to make assumptions about DU combat and how elements work in DU, if relevant to their game.
    4. Working in groups is allowed but only a single person can enter the group's work here and win the prize.
    5. The competition is open to all that can post on these forums.

     

    Dates: Competition entries start on 1 February 2018 with last day for entries on 22 February 2018. Voting then starts on 23 February 2018 an will continue until 10 March 2018.

     

    Prize: The winning suggestion wins a game key of their choice and DICE (https://community.dualthegame.com/organization/dice) will implement a prototype of the game and potentially add it to the roster of DICE games. The game keys can be chosen from: The Long Dark, Quantum Break, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, and Tomb Raider.

     

    TLDR: Yo wazzup! I heard you like games so I want to put games in your games so make a game then I award you with a game in a game as well as a game that is not in the game. Kapish?

     

    This competition is sponsored by Soarnir. Also feel free to drop by the unofficial DU discord (http://dualuniverse.chat/) and say hi.

    I very much approve of the categories of territory tiles. I think sanctuary tiles are a great idea, but I have a few questions:

     

    Will the MSA be located on only moons, or are they meant to be found on every planetoid aside Alioth? (and if only moons, will there be an ASA on the planet instead?) 

    Will there be multiple groups of sanctuary tiles spread across the surface? 

    Can Sanctuary tiles be taken as part of a war?

    If not, is there a way (direct or indirect) to gain ownership of a sanctuary tile when the owner is uncooperative or gone? (and would Sanctuary Control Units make a difference?)

    I have the same questions. 

     

    I assume the MSA would be an contiguous area similar to the AMA I.e it is a preset area of safety with no resources spawned there. My second assumption is that the MSA's are only on Alioths moons. Why? Because invulnerable staging areas for all planets seem a  bit of a mess.

    Finally a form of upkeep (or keep alive switch) for the safe areas seems more and more necessary.

     

    Though these are just assumptions, some answers to those questions would be greeaaat ;)

    Is there a schedule on when we get the results or should we open betting on that?

    I am sure they are busy reading the entries (there was a tweet suggesting as much), though I would have thought the community vote would have been opened by now.

     

    Thre are only two courses of action. One is patience and the other is to ping @NQ-Nomad

    xD
