MAPPING CONTEST
[/center]

Moogle Thoughts:
"First RPG Contest was a failure and I'm sorry to those whom wished for it to be big but it wasn't, now let's hope this one can be better, longer by 2 months, and you can enter old maps ^_^. Team projects are allowed as well. I'm changing a few things around as you can see. Now get cracking on your maps people =)>"

Moogle Comment:
"As many of you may know I'm a big time RPG fan, kinda lacking in RPG maps these days so I'm gonna host an RPG contest and see how it goes. Ther is no entry fee; I find that making entry fee for a contest can make people not want to enter it. Well, enough talking, time to get down to details."

THEME: Role Playing Games
I'm pretty open about this contest, anything that do with a RPG like, Action-RPG, Adventure map, Semi-hack'n'slash RPG, Open RPGS, Blast Crap out of monsters RPG and so on. But if has nothing in-lines as a RPG map will be rated a 0 due factor because it doesn't meet the requirements set for contest. There are so many RPGs you can do, so the final part is up to you. happy.gif

Guidelines
» Must be an original map can be made prior to the contest. Stolen Maps / Edited maps are not allowed.
» Any map dimensions allowed.
» No map over 15mb.
» Any number of players is OK.
» Team Projects are Allowed.
» You may submit up to three entries, but only the highest scoring entry will be placed and recieve a prize.
» No entry fee.
» Feel free to protect your map. The playing end will be emphasized more than the creation end.
» Map must be complete or in beta stages. No demo maps.
» E-Mail me the map, not PM. E-mail is: moogle.evil@gmail.com

Deadline: 10th October 2006 - 5 Months Contest
"I've increase the time given to create maps, as well letting people whom have old RPGs collecting dust allowed to enter, hell even if a map is 3 years old and you haven't finished it you can enter it. Team Projects are allowed too, and I just hope this one goes better than the first contest. "

Judging Criteria

QUOTE
Theme (15) - Obviously this is the name of the game. If the map isn't even remotely related to the theme, it won't score very well. A map scoring 0 on this won't be graded further. Something that looks premade and just custom fit with a few text messages won't score very well.

Fun (20) - Important for me as I'm playing the map. Am I running around having a good time, or watching a unit talk to itself in a movie? If I ever go to this map again, is it going to be to play it with friends or to delete the scm/scx? This is probably going to be the deciding factor in contest entries.

Aesthetics and Professionalism (15) - Did you use one type of tile and no text color? Are there mispellings distracting me at every turn with some poorly made triggers? Hopefully you can create something that looks and feels decent. I'm not asking for extensive extended terrain or hundreds of sprites, a map with a unique feel to it should score at least an easy 10.



Prizes

First Placement: 6,000 Minerals
Second Placement: 3,500 Minerals
Thrid Placement: 1,500 Minerals
Runner Up: 600 Minerals
Noteworthy Mention: 120 Minerals
(Runner ups is now only 4th, 5th to whatever = Noteworthy Mentions, depending if your map is even worthy! WAAGH)


Anywoot, good luck people..

(Note; Added Extra month)

RPG, playing a role of a hero or a group of heroes, hacking n slashing gaining exp while doing it and getting level ups i guess, using skills and stuff. All depends, everyone has own opinions of a rpg. But main one is taking role of a person or group and adventuring though dangerous plots, enemies. Even RE semi RPG happy.gif

So, what if you stick with a group for about eight 'missions', then get switched to another group and so on? I mean, I'm sorry for the questions, but I would really like to get a grasp on what people CONSIDER an RPG to be.

Well, now that this is main news now, I should start concentrating on my map a little more.

Quick question, are we gonna close the thread in staredit related or just have 2 threads?
Also Moogle, the part in your sig that says Reactor No. 7 ENTERTAINMENT is spelled wrong. You left out a T smile.gif .

Quick Update:
My Rpg is reaching a whoppering 15% now that I finished my entire prologue including the first boss(which is pretty freakin hard). So yeah just wanted to give some info for my map n spread the uhh competition heh. Anyway goodluck to the other competitors let's have alot of rpgs come out. Just know in advance that Starmanjr. will win... again... biggrin.gif .
