Campaign Contest #1 - Free theme

[Sabertooth]

Sorry I havn't been making a lot of progress, lots of pre-christmas stuff going on.

 

[Paladon]

Same for me here. Maybe they´ll adjust the deadline a bit if i ask.
Since we are only a very small amount of participants, and the half of all current participants joined during the last week, it would definitely make sense.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I said this was a fail competition from the beginning.

Making a campaign takes too much time(if you want a good one).

 

[bounty hunter2]

Yea any bit of more time is welcome. I am doing the campaign in a realy realy quick time and I am progresing fast and it doesn't look bad but I don't think that I will make it till the deadline. But I am trying very hard.

 

[Paladon]

Ok, who is the contact person for this issue?
EDIT:
Glad to hear that your campaign is steadily improving
Are you still working alone?
I was not able to make any noticeable changes or new things in the last few days (lack of time in rl) and Palaslayer has barely the time to start with the second chapter.
On the other hand, nearly 90% of all needed systems (planned in our concept) are already created and useable, Palaslayer makes a great job with the terraining, so the only thing to add are the quests and some units xD
Hard enough, keke, but it´s always good to know that you can focuse on such noticeable things after you´ve done all the things and triggers for the background.

And how are the projects of the other participants?

 

[Kwah]

Dunno maybe he's a god?

orly?

Meh, we (as a general populace), have a hard enough time finishing small contests.

 

[Avator]

That's because we make it a big deal xD

 

[AbeHolm]

I don't think callahan is a god hahahahaha
Maybe a guy with a very strong passion for effort and for his campaign?.
Anyways, the campaign for this competition is only on 3 maps and there is only one quest.
I don't see why that would take years to make, to high goals guys? haha

I'm in this campaign aswell and ive already done 3 of em, 2 campaigns, 3 maps in each, tho I can't decide so when I'm done I allways think, arh, I don't like it
But yesterday I made a huge insight on what I want to do so I am doing my finals now, I've done 1 out of 3 maps, and I've done all 3 quests for each maps and all the things on it.

Yeah ehum, I wrote everything down, so I am just making it on the computer now

But sure more time gives more shaping
I will show some WIP .. MAYBE, soon Will I or Will I not?
I'm not sure if I want to, feels like spoiling.

Keep on going guys! (A)

 

[Callahan]

I don't think either It's called humor.

 

[AbeHolm]

I don't think either It's called humor.

Aye haha, by the way i tried on the Campaign, I laughed a very good laugh when I saw you haven't finished it, tho I't was a nice campaign
Tho I saw a misspelling in the loading screen but I guess you don't care and also the campaign screen was very impressive, loved the music and the panda, made me become quite some happy to see.

Why?
well I love the style, and my current campaign project is about a Panda haha, and the overall feeling connected with your campaign screen in high levels.

I wish I could have such a screen with my panda.
And my music, I would be thrilled but I do not know how to do that, I'm not a model editor in any level.

I can do fair looking skins, good maps, terrains, campaigns, spells, cinematics and icons.

 

[Anachron]

Like we already said about 20 pages before. And this is going to be like Hive Olympics. Nice ideas but no submittions. So sad.

 

[Palaslayer]

barely the time to start with the second chapter? nearly 50% of it is already finished
^^

we make quick progress and i think we can do it!!

 

[Palaslayer]

SCREENS OF THE SECOND CHAP!!!! (rare and exclusive)

now, i just worked on the second chapter, and without paladon's permission (muhahahaha) i want to post some screenshots (i take this risk just for u!), hope u like 'em

[SCREENSHOTS]

Entry (scary, not?)

Mine

The Dwarven Hall - Entry

 

[Kwah]

Looking good. The first one not as much.

 

[Palaslayer]

whats wrong with the first? would like to improve everything

 

[AbeHolm]

I thought it looked fine
And also I'm the kind of person not caring TOO much for terrain look, it should be looking good but why BEUTIFUL? ;P maybe that for RPG's or something, yes campaign's need to be very nice but not OMG sooo BEUTIFUL, and besides this is a contest for a very small campaign, I focus my energy mainly on the characters and quest, the more fun the better, then I'll try improve terrain in versions and stuff, I put my goals to a minimum that way I'm sure I'll get to the incredibble some time

I realize this is a campaign CONTEST but thinking of the time given on such a small campaign, that should be possible.
I small very well sharpen and fun campaign would win in my opinion than rather an unsharped huge mapped campaigned even if its only 3 maps and focuses so much on terrain and yes all that kind of stuff.

 

[Kwah]

It was mostly the angle, but the gate looks like crap.

 

[Palaslayer]

first of, i can focus on the terrain very easily because paladon edits the gameplay in map one, we share the work

u know a good gate that also looks fine with this scaling? i think it is double the big than normally.

 

[bounty hunter2]

no1 and 3 look very good. Second is also okay but yea the gate are an issue

 

[Hawkwing]

I don't like the first picture either. The grass and shrubs stand out too much because of their neon green colour (exaggeration).

 

[NearbyHermit]

now, i just worked on the second chapter, and without paladon's permission (muhahahaha) i want to post some screenshots (i take this risk just for u!), hope u like 'em

[SCREENSHOTS]

Entry (scary, not?)

Mine

The Dwarven Hall - Entry

Screens ,so it happened!

 

[Kwah]

Replay or it didn't happen. ;P

 

[RoboHippo]

Bowing Out

The deadline is forcing me to churn out crap, which I really don't want to do. I don't get all that much time to work on things as it is. So, I think I'll drop out. If there's an extension, then I might hop back on board, but I won't finish within this deadline.
(I blame him )

I suppose I never directly stated what I'm doing. The campaign was "Rise of the Peons: Ukor's Revenge". I might continue it at some point.

But here's some screens of stuff I've done, anyway:

Screens:

Ambush:


Large Fight:


A Useful Spell:


Plot!:


More Fighting:


And a Witch Doctor:

 

[Paladon]

We´d like to get an extension too.

Please, dear contact person for this matter, if you read this, imagine how many great campaigns may be even greater (and nearly complete) if you change the deadline

I shall say no more

@ RoboHippo

You need serious terrain improvement. However I like the peon rebbelion idea.

 

[Mechmap]

Long time since I posted, just wanted you all to know that I'm still in the contest, though with a different campaign that is more simple than the previus one. Screenshots will follow.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I just realised that there is less then 2 weeks to finish, and if I count out New Year and Christmas as I won't be able to work then, ( New Year and day after ) That leaves me, us 8,9 days. No way I will finish :/ but trying xD

 

[Palaslayer]

hm, at the moment i am ill...

at the beginning of holidays!!! zomfg!! why not during school time, lol

hm, it will get hard, where is the contest leader and why doesnt he react to our question for more time, lol?

 

[Mechmap]

He will probably extend it when the time is nearly up. Right now it would'nt help us anyway.

 

[Linaze]

Perhaps he doesn't extend because he believes that is serves no purpose, we've seen way to few wips of something that is even nearly done.

 

[Mechmap]

That might be the cause as well. I hope he does extend anyway.

 

[Anachron]

This is 100% like Hive Olympics.. Thats sad :/

And I am not able to make a Campaign at all.. :/ (to less time)

 

[Mechmap]

Here are some screenshots from chapter one.

1st: A human village.
2nd: A goldmine.
3rd: A mountain pass.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Second one looks cool, first is to plain, third is awful, blizzard cliffs are horid.

 

[Palaslayer]

approved, bounty

 

[Mechmap]

Well, the village is supposed to be kinda plain since they've built there. I use blizzard cliffs because of the time limit. If I finish this campaign, I will probably redo it in a gold version. Right now I'm aming at pretty simple terrain that's playable.

Thx for commenting.

Heres a little storywise:

A clan of ogres in the south have destroyed a few villages in the mountain region. The High King has sent out his Knight Captain in order to end the threat. But this uprising is a larger threat than anyone realizes...

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Lulwutz.

I want moar screenshuts!

 

[Palaslayer]

hm, i didnt work on the map in the last few days, waiting for chapter one on which paladon is currently working

we rly need an extension, cuz i just dont have the time to work on the map in the next days.

screens come as soon as possible

 

[Septimus]

The extension would be provided if I do not get at least 5 submission. Having at least 5-9 submission is more than enough since reviewing 1 campaign could took quite a time.

=Extension provided^^

You don't seem to understand it? Without the extension, you're getting no submissions. With it you'll get around, I don't know, but no where near 9.

 

[Mechmap]

I think 3 campaigns is more than enough to review.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

How long would that extension last?

Cause its Christmas/New year/Holidays/Whateva' right now, and i doubt people will work great on it.

Or some people would make a rest and don´t work^^

 

[Septimus]

You're the one who seem not to understand what I mean.

I said there would be a extension shall I failed to get any submission.

 

[Linaze]

The extension would be provided if I do not get at least 5 submission.

That's exactly what you said. You truly have too high hopes for this contest, be glad if you get even one or two submissions with the extension, that is.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I am currently crying about my campaign, I have the strangest bug ever, my multiboard just dissapears in one part of the map, I'm trying to fix it but I still didn't manage to :/

 

[Gamat]

Wow, very strange try saving the multiboard hiding it and show it later ?

 

[bounty hunter2]

The Multiboard must be visible all time, I think I figured it out but I am not sure yet

 

[Palaslayer]

good luck, eh
