Small/Side Projects

Is there a section for side projects or smaller things we make along the way or should we just go to EpicWar or something?

Now this may be a big/stupid/"WTF R U ON" ask but...


...is there/going to be a section where we can just upload casually made maps?

Not for full-on "Woot! I'm in the map's database" but more of just "Hey, I made this map along the way, I thought you guys would be interested in it".

By casually made maps, I don't mean maps of so high quality of (dare I say) DotA or any of the other things that is hosted on this that makes quite a lot of B.Net games look like trash. By casually made maps I mean (as said before) maps we made but weren't posed as our main-projects. Just fun things we made along the way.

I've thought of the upsides and downsides to this.

UPSIDES
- It can help inspire other mappers
- It lets us share ideas and directions
- It lets us express our skills in smaller projects
- If we make an awesome discovery, we could post it as (instead of a demo map) a minigame or a campaign of some sort
- We could possibly submit minor group projects here

DOWNSIDES
- It could become ridiculously large
- Some things could be really bad quality

That's generally the reason for the existence of the Map / Campaign Projects forum.

Those are somewhat (I dunno if this is the right phrase) serious projects. I mean things that aren't going to be 100% serious. Games like Pest Invasion (gooooood times...) which they aren't the most appealing thing to the eye but they sure are fun.

So basically any project we start could fit into that forum?

Any project, so long as you have enough info in the first post, or just put it in the map testing (if it's playable) with a short description.

And a second tier map database isn't happening. Ever.

I see, well thanks for the answers.
