Campaign Contest #2 - War

[Pharaoh_]

Note: I am reviving old contest-types, since I find it wise to spread the modding activity in more areas.

Contestants should create a playable campaign, with at least 2 chapters. The theme should revolve around war. Storyline and character creation is left to the contestants' taste. You can either solo or form a team of maximum two members to join the contest.

Storyline	How creative the story was? Were there any surprising moments? Did any part feel rushed?	/10
Cinematics	How well did the cinematics bind with the storyline? What was their overall quality? Did they enhance the understanding of the lore?	/10
Playability	Was the map set bug free? Did it have the proper flow to accompany the lore?	/10
Appearance	How were the overall aesthetics? Did the campaign achieve to attract the player?	/10

• 70 % of the winner shall be determined by the contest's appointed judge(s).
• 30 % of the winner shall be determined by the results of a public poll.

• The contest shall begin on X and conclude on X, 11:59 GMT

(The contest will last for one month and a half.)

I love you more and more x3

I remember we once had this kind of contest and it failed because the contest was too big. In the end none finished a campaign. However that was many years ago maybe today there's hope I don't know...

Anyway here's my entry I started today.

 

[Bugz]

Looool, i would join atm.

 

[Wandering Soul]

Let's give it another go!
It'll be a great experience to anyone, especially to those new to campaign making...

 

[Pharaoh_]

We can reduce the maps' count to at least 2, if you guys believe it will draw more attention. No problem at all.

 

[Bannar]

I'd preffer the campaign to be small-sized/quick (it doesn't have to have lets say 8 maps with tons of additional quests to be accepted) just let it be entertaining and hope it brings something new or be interesting enought to play it actually. Personaly I'd rather limit the contest to X max size and limit of up to 3 maps.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I can decrease the maps' count minimum requirement, but if a contestant is up to it, I can't force them to limit their work and imagination, just because most of the contestants won't likely go for a third(+) map.

 

[PROXY]

Let's say the minimum map count is two, for the lazy ones?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, I agree. Changed.

 

[Chucky]

OH MY GOD ! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE HIVE NEEDS ! Genius. Heart beating so fast *faints* ) I wish you all best of luck !
BTW: NO TEAM CAMPAIGN YES ?

 

[Pharaoh_]

BTW: NO TEAM CAMPAIGN YES ?

That's another issue; we can have it paired (team of maximum 2 contestants), but anyone who is willing to solo it, they are free to do it.

 

[Bugz]

Gonna ask -Kobas- to join with me. While the other coders work on Sotp

 

[Bannar]

I support tha idea about allowing paired capaign contest. And yes, let it be just an option - so you can solo your entry, or work together with your teamate.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Changed as well. I want it to be free of such limitations.

 

[Chucky]

yeah but two or more guys working on a campaign is A LOT easier than a single guy doing all the work...
Btw: Is there a filesize requirement ? Cause my campaign I started I estimated to be around 60 MB =))
Oh, and should it follow the exact Warcraft lore ? I want to make my own lore with the original of course.

 

[Skycraft]

Optional Paired sounds like a good idea.
But I would like to know how it would affect the judging.

 

[Bannar]

Shouldn't affect judging, those teams just get half rep bonus and half award icon ;>
<joke>

 

[AyeKantSpel]

I'm in, can't wait for it to start.

 

[Ramza]

And does this campaign have to be made now, or can you join the contest with any campaign, as long as it meets qualifications (probably not, but just making sure)?

PS: AyeKantSpel, your signature is messing up everybody's screen. xP

Though I don't know for certain, I'm almost sure that as with all contests, your entry must be made within the set date of the contest... though it would help to have it clarified... cause if I can start it now I'd like to go ahead and jump on it.

My apologies, siggy removed.

You've answered it just fine. The contest work must be specifically made during the contest

 

[Ramza]

Alright, thanks both.
I don't have time myself, but good luck to everyone else. Looking forward to the results.

 

[AyeKantSpel]

Yay I got something right, go me!

Ramza, shame you can't participate, but thanks!

 

[Pharaoh_]

I will approve of it in 4 days, anyone wants to add something?

 

[PROXY]

Let's do it

 

[AyeKantSpel]

I say approve it friday, but that's just to put the start of the contest in my favor, lol.

 

[Skycraft]

I think it's been a little over 4 days

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yeah, I was absent for the past 3 days. To be frank, I haven't seen much of attention, so I will probably have to wait an extra couple of days. :/

 

[Skycraft]

Alright cool.
Next week maybe?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Depends on the attendance, really. Keep this alive, keep your ideas on and it will hopefully turn out.. possible. Sometimes it's not the motivation alone, it's the inspiration that will make people join.

 

[GhostThruster]

Hmmm...interesting.

The lack of attention is simply because it's in the contest submission forum. When it will be approved and in the arena section, it will draw much more attention (because often people are too lazy to visit the submission forum)

 

[Mechanical Man]

I'm using new post button, so it doesn't really matter what section it is. However, how many people max would be allowed working on contest campaign?

 

[Skycraft]

Two.
That is the maximum for the contest.

Ok, official contest is out. Hope we do get some entries. Refrain yourself from posting here from now on
