I really don't care if you enter something you've worked on or not, as it really isn't my place to say. It's just that if you've been working on some secret project for like a year and are close to releasing it, it might be a little unfair.
On another note, I just found out I have to make a new inventory system.
I had it so that you had a bunker and a bunch of units around, and by attacking one you select the item and then unload a unit to set it as a hotkey, so when you unload them again it will use the item. Unfortunately you cannot make a bunker attack a specific unit.
I was planning so many good things...
Terrain is about 50% done.

Yea, I guess with the advantage of time, I had the time to plan things out much more clearly than the contestants who just started did. Well, good luck to all the contestants. You got one less competitor to worry about.
That inventory system is unique, to say the least. But I still prefer the gateway system.
Do I need minerals? I guess not. I hope to see some fun maps I could occupy myself with when this contest is over.

Doom, how old is map? depending how old it is i may make expection, i am a nice person and dont really mind much, but i will score map abit lower not much maybe like -1 score off it because of it being worked on so long i'll work out scoring and stuff, if map like 3 months to 6 months i guess it is ok.

Three to six months? I'm definately out then.
I've had the idea for three years, started the map two years ago. Worked on it for two or three months then left it alone for another three months. The map underwent the pattern until summer 05. I Scrapped the old version last August due to a major string scramble. From there, I used the base terrain and used nearly the same triggering system from the old version and reworked it into the new version of the map.
I guess that finishing the map alone is quite an accomplishment for myself, and the feeling that I did something will always be greater than any other prize can give. But enough philosophy for the day.

Yea... 3 years, just wow. Seems too long and would most likley give you a huge advantage. But just because of that doesn't mean you should quit! You still have time to put something nice and simple together with a whole lot of gameplay.

I'm in Moogle, got something brand new coming for you. By estimate I'll have this lil rpg done to about 75ish % by the deadline, but I gurantee it'll be worth it.
Anyway I have a request, can u make the max filesize acceptable by 2mb? Then I can do this map for the contest for sure, cuz right now I'm alrdy pushing 1.5 - 1.6 mb, so if u upped the file size, I wouldnt have as much trouble =).
And Doom, no offense but there are probably ppl who just dont say anything and submit 2 year projects(if anyone remembers arcadia rpg, that was 1 yr in the making) so not that I'm gonna say we all lie, but seriously u could have entered it and just kept it on the low. Anyway Moog hope you're happy to have me aboard, and the contest is really going big, ill help u pm moose about making it news, it really should be(he put that stupid Clan Transendence thing up and no1 cares about it really =/) goodluck moogle!

Argh. My honesty screwed myself over. Oh well. When the contest nears an end, and when I'm sure I can finish the map by the deadline, maybe I'll get another oppurtunity to enter the contest, but I won't be able to make it to the top three. How's that for a deal?
This contest is really motivating people to work or finish on their RPG maps eh? The prize money is quite hefty and from what I see, there's a lot of participants in this already. A contest of this calibur should be frontpaged in my opinion.

Haha. Thanks, I feel so supported. But first, I'll have to see whether I can finish it by the due date or not...
But now I feel quite an amount of pressure, since I had the map to work with for awhile, and everyone else started from scratch. I think the standards for my map should be raised...alot, just to balance things out a bit more.
As seen in my sig, my map is currently 60% done. Everyone else's progress?

Then I guess your map will be pretty old school eh?
I doubt any of us should use more than 3mb of space, so 2.5mb seems about fair to me(since everyone has to work by those rules). Anyway goodluck to everyone!

well im trying sticking to a project though. knowing how the competition is going to be.
gonna add some music, some features, spells and stuff, or what else i can put in...
i'm guess entering my shadowlion map wouldn't be a good idea?if not ill try creating something else..
