April's fool?
polycounter lvl 3
Guys before when we were discussing about this month's competition, I mentioned that we could do stuff for real events such as April's fool and we don't need to wait for Valve to announce an event.
Many people showed interest particularly on idea of April's fool both here and in Google Hangouts.
So what do you guys think, Should we do something for April's fool?

It hasn't really been discussed.
Basically I opened this thread to discuss about it
Or a viper mount for batrider?
BTW, so we are just throwing ideas and anybody can pick them?
hook replace with plunger
back grows full of mushrooms
Not trying to be an ass, but why would someone partake in this "competition"? There's not really much to gain from it, since we're probably going to do silly stuff so there's not a lot to learn, and the items probably won't even get ingame, not to mention the community backlash that is probably inevitable. Just see Ursa's Alpine Stalker set and more recently Drow Ranger's Gifts of the Shadowcat set. Both have silly elements and were received with some heavy criticism from the community, so I would believe that Valve is being more careful adding this kind of stuff to the game.
Again, if you guys want to do this just for fun, I can get behind that, but making it the theme of the monthly competition for something so pointless is not something I'd be interested in.
I said I mentioned it in that thread
*joker's sound*
I personally won't do anything for it since I have thesis presentation on end of this month
Anyways,I agree with belkun. It's neat to try to say "hey here's a cool idea.",but if its going to be a polycount group effort, we should try to make a point of producing the highest quality work possible that makes a good name for us in the workshop
I personally feel like there might be a lot of time wasted on this that could other wise go towards more productive activities.
like dubstep music, death metal, and techno song
appearance looks like Kiss band singer, weapon is a flying electric guitar.
skill 1: dub step, AOE spell, damage and slow 20% for 0.5 sec.
skill 2: orb effect, throwing an electric effect guitar, zap nearby aoe 300 enemy unit and slow briefly , like storm sprit's passive spell. 10 sec CD.
skill 3: beat box, cast on enemy and disarm them, giving true sight on the target for 10 seconds.
skill 4: reveal all heroes for 20 seconds, true sight.
all spells having very high pitch annoying sound effect lol
I think we shouldnt make a joke hero because creating a hero takes a lot of everything (particles, animations, skeletons, skills, and more). But I think if we work together (I mean all dota 2 artists who are member of polycount)
we can make a masterpiece.
I said everybody should work so here is an example of groups:
1. Pros: They will create the hero itself and also it has its own groups.
1.1 Basemesher(s): He/she is the one(s) who will create the basemesh with its all work.(textures, low poly, high poly...)
1.2 Maker(s) of the Equipment: They will create the original equipments as a teamwork or not.
1.3 Makers of the rest: With rest I mean animations, particles, skills, and so.
2. The least talented: The ones like me. They will create their own sets after having the base mesh done. And the good items/sets will be in the same collection of the item.
And if valve accepts, the hero will go in with the 5-6 sets that we created.
And if valve dont accept, it will be a legend of the workshop or even a revolution of the workshop art.
Just gonna post it here, you decide what to think.
^ this
right now somehow i got thought of spongebob skin on slark.
Like this?
Well done sir!
u did it or someone had done it before?
just did it, only took a few minutes, full functional, files are here.
Although you'll need to break the importer to get it working, although I could also send over the compiled files then it wont make a difference.
And I couldn't find out what the problem was
Because of the poly budget, right?
I'm on drugs. April Fools best doto
For real tho, that's pretty cool in a really... really...really weird way.
it's been a slow morning to say the least haha
Perfect!
ooooooo that's the sexiest thing that I've seen in polycount. thanks andrew i can die in peace now. rofl
I was too lazy to draw xD well here is my idea mb someone wants to do it I like it xD
That aside, I think it's not a bad idea to have joke cosmetics JUST for April's Fools. But we need to ask Valve if they're okay with that. And to what extent the comedy material is possible. For me, as long as items are made from scratch and follows the setting (not the lore and story, e.g. you can have a rustic-looking wooden Jason Voorhees mask for Pudge, but definitely a no if you're creating a futuristic Daft Punk helmet for Razor.
or rider on another batrider
1. a roshan summon for warlock
2. a tiny tower for witch doctor's ulti
