Mmm only about less then a month til the contest is over!
It's up to the others if they wish to increase the deadline. The last thing I want is to make you make the contest longer just because 1 person didn't have enough time to finish his map. Even if I don't finish, I'll most likely carry it over and release as a regular map.

Heh, I'm in the same boat as you, Shadow. Ever since I got my physics test score, my map production rate has slowed down tremendously. Most likely, I won't finish my map before deadline... oh well.
If you think Crescent Dyne won't get finished, ur on crack.

Three more days before I can work on the map again, along with KH2, schoolwork, and everything else. Actually, make that four more days, since Hong Kong is approximately 13 hours ahead of California.
And keep the contest end date at May 5th. The deadline is half the fun in a contest. But mentioning that there's less than a month remaining worries me. I don't think I'll be able to iron out all the bugs and master the extended terrain work I was thinking of. Is it okay to simply submit a beta map?
As for the average RPGs and such...A completed RPG is always better than a half-finished map, no matter how many features were planned for the latter. Anyways, everyone has to start somewhere. So don't blame the guy for the quality of his map. Concerning the Biohazzard and Crescent Dyne maps...we'll see how much willpower those mappers have before we jump to conclusions and say they'll never finish it.
Looks like alot of the contestants are slowing down right now. Sounds like bad news for this contest. But last minute work will always occur moments before the deadline.

Yea, I was wondering if a beta/demo release was possible or accepted. I could probably throw a demo together, but that's about it.
so is this contest over?!

I wanna put an emphasis on that. THESE ARE RPGS WE ARE MAKING AND REQUIRE A LITTLE MORE ATTENTION AND EFFORT THEN NORMAL MAPS. Considering some of us are actually doing brand new maps in under 2 months, you guys should be happy to even have us attempting to make decent rpgs for you to play. That being said, I hope you all took something from that.

P.S. It's bloody ridiculous to not have this on Portal News. Period Point Blank.
Problems problems problems...I'm dangerously close to the string limit, and I've only finished the Combatant's Story. Unfortunately, I still have three more stories to go. Because of this, I highly doubt that I can finish the map by May 5th, due to my extremely slow progress, as well as the lack of strings I'm going to encounter. Not that I mind going past the string limit, but the fact that my strings get scrambled whenever I use SCMD2, which is also the only program I know of that supports maps that go over the string limit. The only way out of this is to have SI update the next version of SCMD2 so that strings won't be automatically recycled.
I'm sorry. I would really like to participate in this mapping contest, but I'm simply unable to finish the entire gameplay, lest even pull out a BETA, by the deadline. Because of my unability to meet the requirements of the mapping contest, I am to withdraw from it, by the rules, and by my own request.
Don't give up making it though.
I still have yet to do the majority of my triggering, but I'm not worried... much.
Doomgaze, i am sad to hear that your pulling out, But i understand you have alot things to fix up. Just hope your map gets finished and released so i can see how kickass is. Anywoot since ya not entering i guess i can use ya as a judge.
I just hope enough people enter this contest sigh.

Damn i wish i could do it but... im a lil late errrhg Moogle ^_^
Well, my demo is almost complete, but it's VERY short... probably only to end up disappointing someone who's been waiting for 2 months (sorry guys).
[In total, it'll probably bring about 15 ~ 40 minutes of gameplay]
