    • Are you kidding? Of course, YES

I feel really burnt out on my current FM so taking a break to build a little halloween map should be fun. I will probably only use the prefabs that come with the game and one custom model. Other than that it will be all TDM assets.

I've started building on a mission. Contest entry or not, it's gonna be a horror map!

 

Offtopic: I believe you had another mission that you were showing off in the "what are you working on thread" how is that coming along?

 

edit: oops sorry I thought that was you but it was actually sir taffsalot haha my bad :)

Looks like this as picked-up with Goldwell and Fieldmedic... and possible Melan and buck28!!!

 

I started this one in August for this contest if it counts. It's certainly not a speed build (2to3 weeks). I'm hoping it will be done by 10-31. It should be however. :D

So if the August to October time frame counts, I'm in.

Will try to find some time for it. I have an idea for a horrer themed story in my head for quite a while which I would like to implement, but I never shaped it out. So I don't know if I could squeze it into a small mission.

 

We'll see.

Well, I have started building. Doesn't mean it will be finished in time, but at least it is something. :)

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

It is almost impossible for me to make the finish line by the cutoff date. Mission will be built no matter what, though.

I'm mainly working on my big project posted in my mapping thread. Whether I will make a mission for helloween, I'll decide when the time arrives. But if I do it will be a small mission anyways. Let's see.

I've taken a break from working on The Accountant 2 and now i'm going to try and speed build a small FM for the Halloween contest. My current goal is to have it completed before Halloween but who knows.

I'm in the process of Beta testing right now. What is the official contest, release date? If any.

When would you like to have them in, and who is going to judge them? Just curious, never

done a contest before. Cheers. :huh:

The last one was set to end October 31st Pacific Time US. We encourage participants to release at least one day

before the end so that the mission can be enjoyed on Halloween.

 

Also, if you are sure that you will make it to the deadline (or fairly close) but wont have the mission available till the end,

it would be great if you could provide high-quality screen-shots so we can promote this at Moddb.

 

If you can't make the deadline but might be able to release shortly after, you can appeal to your fellow mappers for a time extension.

Any time extension will be extended to all participants so entrants can re-release their missions with fixes and enhancements before

the new deadline.

 

The judging is done by the community, you add a poll at the top of your mission with 3 criteria: Theme, Aesthetics and Story, Gameplay

with 1 to 5 stars. Theme's are weighted once, Aesthetics and Story twice, and Gameplay three times (I usually do the calculations once

the voting period ends.)

@Buck sounds great! can't wait to play it :D

 

@Nbohr1more Have you had any other contestants message in their entries yet?

 

For me personally i'm going to try my hardest to get it in by the 30th but i'm still not sure if its possible yet.

Sorry, nobody has chimed-in outside this thread as a participant. If its down to you two, that's still two new missions for the holiday and Fieldmedic along with Melan will have a few more to play not too long after I believe. Not too shabby for something I thought had died in committee ;)

My mission is kinda languishing at an early stage because I got lost in IRL work, and this will not improve significantly until December. But if there are two contestants, that means there can be a contest. Bring it on! :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
