Campaign Contest

This is a simple idea that would probably enjoyable for many. The campaigns should be about 2-4 missions long and be built well. Why not make a campaign for a rating? Grab a team and have some explosive responsive fun. Imports will not go over 2MB because we dont want people using stupid models for the sake of it. Possible Themes are to follow with my own + suggestions:

Warcraft 3.5=Using existing lore make a short campaign that uses WC lore
Steam-Punk=In the spirit of steam make a campaign that takes the path not taken
Future=What the world may look like in the future(any lore can be used but not very fun)

Duration: 2-3 months to give the people enough time.

Judging will be as follows

60% from reliable judges
40% from the masses

You will be judged on:
Story telling=10 Pts
Originality=15 Pts
Map design=20 Pts
Playability=15

You will be judged on the maps playability and originality using the given materials.

Rewards
60 Rep Crystals and Award Icon
30 Rep Crystals
15 Rep Crystals

Sounds interesting...

We already have the same contest in planning in our staff-forums.

OOOOH I may be entering, im basic but it worth a try, are custom models required?

Just be patient and wait until it's hosted. It's still Pending.

I never knew that. Oh well it's a suggestion. if anyone has any more campaign possibilities that would be sweet.

The only problem with a campaign contest would be I the amount of people that finish their entries, as a lot of people can't finish of a single map to enter into a normal mapping contest, so I don't know how many would be able to finish a campaign for a contest. The 2-4 mission limit would help, but it would still be a lot of work.

Well, I have been posting this contest idea and discussing about it with Hawk. It going to be a long-term contest, probably the longest.

If everything goes fine it would be announce as soon as possible.

I already kinda started, more of a draft though.

You started your campaign? If so it wont be accepted. Only original work not started before the contest.

Hive already tried this kind of contest about year ago. I was the one who tried to make it run but I failed with some other guys(Kitabatake, D@B@R, etc).

Ohh... and btw, I'm still doing the campaign that I was doing in the contest.

Well we can try again, and if it fails then it will be closed.

Heh... it takes months, why not years to make a campaign? :D

I believe we'll put a Chapter Max on them. Probably around 3 so people don't put too much time into this.

Ok, then it can be finished. But it still takes at least one month if you want it to be good. However, good luck with the contest.
