Mini-mapping contest #9 : Cinematic OR Farming

[Lordkoon]

So to begin the next mini-mapping contest fellow forumers please vote on one of the following ideas:

1.Cinematic - Users will recieve a unique piece of terrain (and possibly a tiny part of a cinematic). Over this first piece of the puzzle they will have to figure out their own story on how to make an epic cinematic with the given template.



2.Farming According to this topic

here

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/contest-submission-233/mini-mapping-contest-farming-223222/

users have to create a game where the main goal must be focused on gathering a material,resourse,some extraordinary (or ordinary) items, and anything users can interpretate as 'Farming'. Extending the Farming options to more than just cows and gathering crops as the original topic author states.





p.s. ugly topic but thats my best.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Actually, you can do the cinematic/terrain all by yourself if you want. Or you can continue from something that has been created for you already.

I voted for cinematic.

 

[Lordkoon]

Damn I voted cinematic by mistake...

What you said made me wonder. What would be unique about the contest then? If you don't even have to follow the given template?

Contest description : Create a cinematic ?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well the theme is probably that but there's an option to make completely own cinematic. Or something.

Best to keep the theme open as possible so that more people will join.

 

[Chaosy]

Cinematic would be fun /voted

 

[Tickles]

Cinematic sounds really confusing if it's based on pre-made material. Judging criteria would have to be changed to suit it either way.

I'm voting for farming, because resource collection maps would be a lot more fun to play than watching cinematics.

 

[Lordkoon]

I wrongly voted for cinematic... So many people said they want farming in the other topic, it is just not logical to get it that way now.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hmm. Maybe because it was the only choice at that thread?

Anyway. I think these contests should be hosted soon as possible after the ideas are thought through. If there's delay, people will lose their motivation.

 

[Lordkoon]

The same goes for the pull-back contest idea. Recreating past contests I mean.

 

[SA Dashie]

I voted for cinematic.
Oh and yeh It would be great if the fitting theme for it would have a part of the cinematic already made and the contestant would need to use the scene. Of course with the scene being altered with the terrain although will have to keep in tact with the idea of the scene and the dialog being unchanged for it. Therefore contestants will be at fair game with what could happen and see what inspirations could come from such small things. Anyway I think that I said most of this after the results of the last contest.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Hmm. 7-3. This should be pretty clear now. Or?

 

[Almia]

what about cinematic farming

 

[kari0003]

Hmm. 7-3. This should be pretty clear now. Or?

Its 6-5 if you count Lordkoon's vote to farming, he accidentally pressed cinematic.

If most of you vote for cinematic, so be it. I wouldn't participate tho, I think i got more fun things to do in my spare time

 

[Lordkoon]

Yes my vote goes for farming but accidently clicked cinematic. I hope Pharaoh sees it and can fix it.

 

[TwoVenomous]

8 for Farming and 7 for Cinematic

 

[SA Dashie]

Actually that would be 8 both ways.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Very, very close now. Vote people more!

What would like to see Farming or Cinematic!? Vote, vote, vote.

I wanna have a clear winner with at least three more votes than other.

 

[sonofjay]

Voted for cinematic, since I really love watching well-made cinematics. I hope CMarket join this if the cinematic won.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It doesn't matter if CMarket is gonna join or not I'll own him anyway!

Cinematic, hurray!

 

[Pharaoh_]

Please, vote in case you really want to participate, not which you find the coolest.

I will close the poll in a couple of days.

 

[TheWhiteWolf]

I would go with cinematic, definitely

 

[Lordkoon]

Most.Intense.Poll.Ever.

 

[Pharaoh_]

It appears to be 13 - 14, which is almost equal (14 from Lordkoon's accidental vote).

Would you like the theme to be double, so that you can either work on a cinematic or the farming mini-game?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

That sounds fair and fantastic for me.

 

[Lordkoon]

Its 12-16 now (my vote fixed). I'd say make it the vote winner, and the next contest - a cinematic one. I have ideas for both and in the end will mess them up both.

How about a cinematic about some sort of farming aka. gathering stuff. I can already seem myself making a cinematic about a work day of the Reapper gathering souls from diffrent points of the world.

 

[SA Dashie]

I wouldn't mind if the next contest is farming and the next after is cinematic. this way I will take a rest from the mapping contests, the first since I started entering these contests and then join the cinematic contest after. I would join the farming themed contest although doesn't seem to feel right for me to make a map towards it.

 

[TwoVenomous]

This vote would never reach an end...

 

[Astaroth Zion]

Farming sounds easier and more accessible to me. In the other hand I don't know anything about cinematic.

Edit: Ups I thought that farming was more alike RPG games were you can farm many types of resources (food, leather, metals, etc)....
I would like that farming could be extended to that meaning, adding mining as a possible variation of the theme.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Farming for me sounds like a RTS game where you simply get more and more resources until something.

 

[kari0003]

In the farming contest discussion, we already decided that any map could be acceptable that revolves around gathering material. Either RPG or RTS or some funmap.

Quite equal polls, but it would be great if we launched one of the contests, and 18/9 people would immediately join.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Isn't it too unfair at this point just to choose another theme? I mean the poll is so even.

 

[millzy]

ill be participating if its cinematic

 

[Astaroth Zion]

OK the poll is over,

Does anyone know if they will choose only 1 of the themes???
Go for a double themed mini-contest??

 

[Binsu]

Voting for Cinematic. I vote for cinematic because I kinda like making cinematics even Im a newbie here and also Farming contest... is a bit complicated to me...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

So please start the competition soon. My hair is starting to show some grey signs.

 

[Sheephunter]

Had to go with farming because It has not been done before in a contest as I recall it.

 

[-Kobas-]

So, when do we start, also it would be nice to make this parried contest or something?
And yes go with farming thing, there were 2 many cinematic contest, never something like farming before

 

[Astaroth Zion]

And yes go with farming thing, there were 2 many cinematic contest, never something like farming before

Indeed

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I still suggest to go for both themes. The vote is just too damn even.

If another is chosen with so even poll, it definitely shows the antic of democracy.

 

[Freyleyes]

so whats gona happen here? when this gona start? or are there still disputes on a theme?

Maybe we can settle for both, like making #9 farming and straight after #10 cinematic or vise verse?

 

[Pharaoh_]

It will be Farming. Lordkoon voted accidentally for Cinematic, which makes it 25-24.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

It will be Farming. Lordkoon voted accidentally for Cinematic, which makes it 25-24.

Sounds biased to me.

 

[-Kobas-]

Woaaaaah, i will join this for sure

 

[kari0003]

You can count on me too!

 

[Freyleyes]

So lets get this starting!

 

[Chaosy]

dang it, I got like 0 clue on what do with the farming thing

 

[Vengeancekael]

Aight so, the solo mapping contest is completely over, shall we start this one?

 

[Binsu]

Sure... so we are going with Cinematic... judging from the votes above.

 

[-Kobas-]

Sure... so we are going with Cinematic... judging from the votes above.

That was poor mistake, user actually wanted to vote for farming
But you can always include cinematic into any map

 

[Binsu]

That's too bad if we are going for Farming because I have no idea on what is Farming while Cinematic, I have.
