Hive Olympics 2008 - Race Expansion

[Anachron]

Well I've done my terrain for about 33%, gonna post Screenshots this weekend.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

I'm lost, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. Unless my team is even here or cares about this anymore I'm out

 

[Kyrbi0]

^Good. I'm nearly finished re-doing the "Death Knight"... Everything else is coming along pretty nicely.

if one team is left, he is the winner without even creating anything :b

Actually, I think that means the contest is over. With only 1 contestant, there's no winner.
(At least, I've seen that in some other contests... But I'd like to default-win, regardless. )

 

[skrab]

we won't give up that easy
we'll submit what we have done so far...

 

[Kyrbi0]

^Wait, not yet.... (I mean, if you're not finished, don't just submit the models like DonDustin and Donut3.5...)

 

[skrab]

^Wait, not yet.... (I mean, if you're not finished, don't just submit the models like DonDustin and Donut3.5...)

when the judges say its over than we will submit our map )

 

[Hawkwing]

If I made the deadline in one week, would we get at least two submissions?

 

[skrab]

we can't finish this 100% even in 1 year :'(

 

[Kyrbi0]

If I made the deadline in one week, would we get at least two submissions?

Possibly (for us/me). Right now, I can't see anything "big" coming up (except a research paper, due at the end of the month, which I would have to work on), so I could probably devote a relatively "good" amount of time to it... But then, that's the nature of "unexpected assignments, eh?

 

[NearbyHermit]

You could do it in time!

 

[Kyrbi0]

Oops, naw... Checking a calendar, I realized that the due date is halfway through the week after next... So this entire next week must be devoted to research + writing.

Gah. On the positive side, I got Earthbound! On the negative side, all my files got deleted... :/

Bad news then!

At the very start,this contest promised a lot!

 

[Kyrbi0]

^Not necessarily. I'm working on it right now, and I may get some done here and there (though I shouldn't) during the next week. (I hate to say it), but it could simply be left in stasis for now.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Next week?Wasn't the deadline at the end of this one?

 

[Kyrbi0]

I know. I meant "this week" (but I posted it on a Saturday/Friday, so it was "next week".) This "coming" week.

 

[Hawkwing]

The deadline is going to be next Saturday. Hurry. This contest has gone on too long already.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Yeah and for the worse!

As the statistics look,2 frail submission which I see only one destined to reach the end of the deadline!

 

[Hawkwing]

At this point I don't care. If this contest isn't going anywhere so be it. I'm not waiting any longer.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,give it a try atleast!

It's the first of it's kind!

 

[Anachron]

(one member of an active team of the still surving 2)
Well I would like to see the deadline on sunday since I am working the week and come late each workday so I can only map at weekend. Would be only fair. Behind that, I also think this contest needs to end.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Alright, alright... I'll get cracking at nights...

Although I haven't heard much from Xatoga, so it could all be for naught?...

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,you could finish it without Xatoga!

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Told you large-scale team project contests never work.

 

[Xatoga]

I been around. But by the looks of it this competition is rather dead. If the deadline is saturday/friday, I might finish whatever I need done. But it'll be rushed. So meh.

 

[Kyrbi0]

*Whew*

^That's alright; mine will be rushed, too. Remember:

Spoilerz!

(U Building) - Ziggurat + Plague Cauldron

(U Hero) - your "Death Knight" hero (retextured?)

(U Unit) - either a "Graven One" (see WoWWiki entry), or... pretty much anything you feel like making, at this point)

(H Building) - some kind of tall Human Tower + "holy light prism" on top

(H Hero) - some kind of Geomerge with Garithos, a mega-Lance, etc (see beta Crusader pics and concept art)

Oh-Dear, I gave away all our secrets.


--UPDATE--

Undead side completely done, except for some bugs with the [Building]

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hmm,sounds that you'll make it in time!

 

[Anachron]

Hmm,sounds that you'll make it in time!

Like me We don't have that much freetime as other users here...

 

[Kyrbi0]

Wait, huh? You agree with his statement that "we have time", but then disagree by saying "we don't have time".

So are you gonna be finished with the terrain (lol) by Saturday?

Hawkwing: Permission to post the Coding portion, regardless of readiness of separate team-members? (at this point, as the only competitor (?), I don't see why the rules matter so much. )

I meant as far as I can until sunday.

Well and for the terrain, I'm not really sure if I have enough time for doing my insane ashenvale terrain

 

[Kyrbi0]

?? Wait, Sunday, or Saturday?

yeah... At this point, I don't really care how good or bad the terrain is. Just make something basic, and then spruce it up if you have time. It's more important that it's actually done... Oh dangit.

I won't really be able to get it this weekend (by Saturday). So i can't get the map and put on the "Coding" (spells/custom units/Object Editor stuff). Unless you have MSN, or can get it; then we can set up a 'Sharing Folder'.

yeah....


~~~
Hawkwing, at what time, exactly, on Saturday is this "due"? I've got a lot to do this weekend, and I need something definite (as much as I hate deadlines).

 

[Xatoga]

I'm out. I have a big camping thing this weekend. And have lost all interest here long ago. Sorry Kyrbio. :/

 

[Anachron]

Hmm I have 10% of the terrain done.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Alrighty...

Hawkwing (lol), do you want anything at this point?

 

[Hawkwing]

Any and all submissions have to be posted in an hour. I assume nobody can do that.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Can I submit the test map with 1 race "done" (i.e. no custom models), and the other race "half" done?

And why didn't you tell me more than an hour ago?

 

[Hawkwing]

Because I just got home from school. And no. If you want to do it without the art wait for the Techtree Competition.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ah.

Lol, then I'm sorry everyone. I tried my best, and despite a pending research paper, a Virtual Starcraft LAN party, and loads of other stuff, I was intent on finishing... But to no avail.

Sorry, to everyone who was hoping Teen Girl Squad would make it. :/

***If anyone is interested in the work (can't imagine why), I can publicly put it up... Also, I'm not sure if Xatoga has officially released his "Silver Knight" model, so I won't distribute that unless he says it's OK.

 

[Hawkwing]

And the Hive Olympics are over with no submissions, few WIP's, and an overall failure of a contest.
