Techtree Contest #11: Theme Poll

[GhostThruster]

i feel like y'all are over-exaggerating the 'resource obstacle'. there are tons of steampunk/futuristic models, much more than mythological ones. buildings might be a problem, but you just gotta be a bit inventive. besides, how your race plays is more important than how it looks.

idm working solo, but heck maybe working in a pair might be fun:
skills: i'm good with 2d art & knowledge of wc3 meta/balance, and can do everything else at an average level.
looking for: human companionship and a reason to keep going
timezone: gmt+10

Indeed, jejeje here is the code for the (Looking for Partner Post), feel free to use it.

Aw

We'll be your friends.

 

[Lordkoon]

Ugh.. yeah I am out if techno magic wins.

After browsing for fitting models for about an hour for a whole techtree 'techno-magic' i am officially worried and probably at the door as you are.

(on another note, is the xgm website down or deleted, I cant seem to find it anymore altho last time I visited it was 3 years ago)

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

I will work alone

I'm pretty sure you can't work alone. That is like saying, I don't like techno-magic, so I'll just do space pirates instead.

Not sure who are you talking to but if memory serves, previous paired contests still had the ''work in teams'' to be optional.

 

[GhostThruster]

op says so. historically, from what i've seen paired has always been optional too.

 

[Astaroth Zion]

Also in the descriptions of the poll options and the discussion thread it was always stated as Optionally Paired, and that's the modifier we have agreed to implement.

I'm pretty sure you can't work alone. That is like saying, I don't like techno-magic, so I'll just do space pirates instead.

On a second thought, The_Silent may be pointing out that you should stick to the theme even if you decide to work alone. ¿Maybe?

You are probably thinking of the proposition for the 8th Hero Contest, which is indeed "un-optionally" paired but has some 'ties' to this Contest.

 

[Chaosy]

Great Idea, will just steal your table, hehe.

Contestant	Skills to Offer	Looking for	Extra Info
The_Silent	3D modelling. Texturing Icons Scratch Animations. Experienced NewGen editor user Vjass / Jass, Gui (Still has to learn to use timers properly instead of loops, haha)	Better coder Animations transferring + mesh merging More inspired person.	Current timezone GMT +1:00 (As hive)

Daym.

I feel useless.

 

[The_Silent]

Daym.

I feel useless.

Don't. There is no job market for dedicated wc3 modders, haha.

 

[Chaosy]

Kickstarter!

Seriously though, the only things I could offer would be coding and terraining.
I claim to be decent at writing stories but that is not something that can be included a techtree. Too bad it's not a RPG map making contest.

 

[Spellbound]

Coding is the only thing I can offer as well, never stopped me

Maybe down the line we could have a RPG map contest.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Sure thing; any one of you can suggest it/write it up. : )

About the skills: don't feel bad. That's the point. Not all of us are good at something, but the coding/design is one of the big tenets of this thing. It's expected that that's all that some can do.

 

[Spellbound]

Maybe next contest we could have a No Imports again. I remember participating in one, but I don't know if it was on the Hive or not. I also remember it was quite liberating to be able to make whatever I wanted to without having to rely on custom 3D assets.

Having an RPG contest could be cool, but again, this is the kind of thing that in my mind would benefit best from a team rather than just one guy. Maybe we could just have a community project that utilises submissions from multiple people? That would be hard to get right tho.

Not advisable as No Imports theme was already used and we need different themes to make it interesting
Just my opinion

 

[Astaroth Zion]

I agree that having similar themes for consecutive contest is not a good idea.

However the last time we got No-Imports contest was on Techtree #6 back in 2012. Also it lasted about 15 days, so a quick contest indeed.

I don't see any problem on having the (No Imports, 15 days) contest again. A short version like that could be easily hosted if people are interested. My vote goes to adding the "No Imports" as a theme for the next contest poll.


Going back on topic, I was thinking that Asgard as portraited in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a good example of Techno-Magic. Those Asgardians have magic so embebded to their techonology that they work as one.

MCU Asgard

PS: btw our host is working to start this contest #11, lets keep brainstorming.

 

[BlackRangerXIII]

I got THIS IDEA!:
How about a Free themed contest every 5 contests?
So anyone can go either No imports or imports

OFC most rules would be disabled for the time being

 

[Wasabee]

I could help in ideas and make icons.
I have little knowledge in coding and model-making.

Though I'm not sure if I can join this time.

 

[Yours Truly]

I think I'll overcome this by myself. I survived the previous contest,bring home the third place award,so I guess I can do this on my own too.But if anyone wants a partner that needs a bunch of coding (definitely not Jass/VJass) crap,I might be able to help. So,I think coding is the only thing I can offer.

 

[Spellbound]

So... is this thing gonna start one day or not?

 

[Astaroth Zion]

Hurray, the contest has officially started (Link)

Enter as a lone wolf or look for your soul-mate (I mean team-mate) and bring the Techno-Magic to the the Warcraft universe.
