[Skycraft]

Cool.

 

[Gausslander]

I'm in.
My submission will be called Adventus.

 

[PROXY]

Defintly in. If I'm not able to find a partner I'm going to solo it ^^

 

[Bugz]

I'm in. If anyone want's to team, i can terrain and do work with unit,buldings and such.

 

[Mechanical Man]

I'd rise reputation prize, campaign isn't something like doing a simple model, it takes months to make it look good. I would say increase at least rep count to 75/50/25

 

[Pharaoh_]

I already did, from the classic 50 to 60. 75 is insanely high. ;p

 

[AyeKantSpel]

I'm in, if you'd like to team up Bugz, I've got an idea for storyline/gameplay already

 

[KayS]

Ooooooooo!!! Loving this!!!

 

[ronojales]

a campaign contest O:
i haven't made a real campaign before, but if i'm successful in creating a dummy campaign this week, i'll join

 

[Bannar]

I'd say that Techtree contest rep awards should be higher too.. Standard 1model/1 texture/1 hero etc 50 rep. Whole race.. 50 too? It's a bit wierd, since it requires much more work to be put into project to make it looks realy good.

 

[Tickles]

Are the judging point totals incomplete? 40 seems extremely low. Anyway, this sounds like a fun contest

 

[Pharaoh_]

Higher judging score seems to be confusing and the points are not fairly given or taken out. I wanted to keep it simple. ;]

 

[Amargaard]

A campaign contest? Awzum! Can't wait to see the entries!

 

[PROXY]

Gonna most likely enter with Chizume, but it's not shure yet.

 

[Vengeancekael]

A campaign that's already started and I didn't know anything about it? I've already gotten everything I've always wanted too, except for an award...
SCREW THIS I'M TOO BUSY MAYBE I'LL JOIN A WEEK BEFORE THE DEADLINE

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I might join.

My campaign is gonna be a battle between TRAP and Ponies

 

[Amargaard]

Lulz, that's gonna be awzum

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I started on my intro map... However it is not Ponies vs Trap

 

[ronojales]

can i ask something about this:

Did they enhance the understanding of the lore?

is the campaign supposed to be about warcraft 3 lore or can the entry have a lore of its own?

 

[bowser499]

I don't know if I have time to step in this contest... But I'll try.

 

[67chrome]

Ohh, this looks interesting. I'd be interested in joining, but I'm pretty much into everything except creating an actual storyline XD, always viewed those more as an excuse to kill stuff and a basic explanation for why you get to use some RFC stuff than anything else.

So basically I'm down for teaming up with someone who is more interested in writing the storyline for a campaign (being great with triggers is always a + to, I'm so-so with them at best).

One question though; how much like the WC3 champaigns should this one be? Considering the guidelines are pretty open-ended I'd assume we aren't making (more or less) a tutorial to play a racial techtree, and rather we could do something pretty different from wc3 gameplay like change the function of armor to grant evasion rather than % damage reduction, right?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, of course, I am not fond of the default mechanisms myself, just make sure you explain everything thoroughly!

 

[Bugz]

I can write a storyline, and make terrain. Sadly i am a so-so to triggers aswell.

 

[Mechanical Man]

It would be nice to work with 67chrome, but I'm not the one because:
- I suck at doing storylines too
- I'm already making an other campaign (having other dude to do the story)

You could do based on some book though

and what is RFC?

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oki, me and KayS will be joining the contest as well :3

 

[Brambleclaw]

This looks awesoume.

I think i'm gonna join since this Co-incides with 2 weeks of holiday. Free time =D

If Anyone wants to be a team. "I would be happy to" (Peon quote =D)


Open to idea's.

 

[Pharaoh_]

can i ask something about this:



is the campaign supposed to be about warcraft 3 lore or can the entry have a lore of its own?

Anything you wish, War3 or custom lore, just make sure it is revolving around war.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Too bad we don't have that much time ;_;
Anyways, me and KayS already have the storyline written down.

 

[-Kobas-]

I'm busy with school and I can't let SotP down so I won't join.
Still Pharaoh_ I would like to judge, so if you need someone for the job sign me in

 

[Pharaoh_]

Oh ok, sure.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I might not be able to do this contest

Reason:
I'm back to workin on SETAI's Revenge...

>

Edit:

I may be able to enter. Yay

 

[Mechanical Man]

I think that there will be more judge candidates than entries xD

 

[Orcnet]

you always make the best contest ever pharaoh

 

[ronojales]

there are still no WIPs here.

waiting for someone to post first before posting mine XD

 

[GangSpear]

Huh,maybe i need 1 month to complete my campaign xD

 

[Pharaoh_]

I am also joining with Garshilan.

 

[Brambleclaw]

Since no one wants to team or have not expressed interest i will begin with terrain when i reach malta . Yey Holidays ^^

For those who have not thought of a story line or anything yet let me present you with this.

Maybe it can get things flowing in your mind.




Pharoh You entering. Oh god we all lost now Looking forward to seeing yours.


Good luck all as always

 

[Vengeancekael]

Finally started working on the first map.

 

[PROXY]

Due personal problems of Chizume I'm going to solo this.

Basic idea is a fallout style campaign with designing-wise features from rage and borderlands.

Will be awesome

 

[Vengeancekael]

And moar!

Although I still don't know how to use custom data/imported files from the campaign editor in the maps. I'm LOST: Part 1

 

[GangSpear]

Wow,nice one vengeancekael,maybe i will quit soon,because exam coming,what the hell!!
You can visit my album for newest picture
EDIT: I can't see your pictures.

 

[PROXY]

Looks quite nice kael, but maybe do something more with the forest, bit more height variation and grass and stuff.

Edit:

First screenies: Starting area.

Never thought I would find a use for these trees.

 

[M0rbid]

In case the amount of freetime is enough, Grievous 1 and myself will try to participate here.

 

[67chrome]

Well, if you guys are posting wips...

Here is what I have done so far. Was thinking a Castlevania meets Diablo I style for the gameplay. Sadly, it doesn't seem very war is everyware atm, but without any storyline zombies seemed like a good idea for mobs to test stuff against.

An yeah, since it's a campaign I splurged a bit on the imports. (You can use any of my skins in this if you credit me btw).

If anyone is interested in helpin' me with a story I have decided upon a main character, because A: I think displaying armor on a character w/ skins would be cool, and B: I did like, 20 sentry skins already.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I got some of the terrain done. Yay

I think this image is appropriate for my post.

 

[ronojales]

i'm just often wondering why this contest isn't in the Notices section.

 

[67chrome]

Not just any moderator can put a contest in the notices, you need special permission to do it. Usually I'd just ask pyrite to do that sort of stuff for me when I hosted a contest/voting thread.

 

[mckill2009]

EDIT:
let me try this...but first let me ask, is it possible to make a war-comedy-type?... <<< disregard this....

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Will Post WiP soon. Maybe
