lol I'll probably submit something, although that'll postpone TGC for a bit. In the past, these competitions haven't gone so well. We'll see how this turns out.

Ha you would get sick if you'd know how many parallel aom projects I'm working on.

ooh, I could so easily convert my current project into something like this.

Q: Time frame? Is there one?

You mean deadline? No, not really, but I'd like to start the voting session by the end of the month. Okay guys, you have just entered the competition. Good luck!

Voting by the end of the month? LOL I don't know about you, but it certainly takes me more than a week and a half to make a scenario. XD

Yea im a bit worried I wont meet the deadline :/

But then again, this sorta puts me in overdrive, and speeds up progress. xD

I hope atleast 1 more joins o.o

If theres 3 of us, and we cant vote for our own, theres a decent chance of a 3-way tie (assuming mine is upto the standards of both of yours lmao..)

Don't worry about the deadline. It's elastic. Elastic deadline. Eyecandying under stress doesn't end up well. And if no one else joins up, I'll think of giving the secret scen to both of you. I don't know. But the winner still owns the experience and the community thing.

This guy really doesn't like me lol. Oh well, good luck everyone.

I also want to join.
Scenario name - ???
Scenario status - Only begun.

@Lewonas : Don't be so delicate I was saying that you spend quite too much time on making a scen. lol.

@ORm0rni : Of course! Remember, originality usually beats triggers

I was talking about that "shipwrecked in real life"... oh well forget about it, I guess I brought this on myself when I made that post in that one thread.

Anyway, I have started working on something for this. Perhaps this is the lore/theme I have been waiting for (even though the theme is very cheesy lol). I don't want to sign up for this contest yet because, well, we all know by now how I and scenarios get along with each other... if you know what I mean. Let's just hope I can deliver this time.

edit: However, if you don't give a shit about this then go ahead and sign me up. My scenario name will be "A Tale Of Valor".

lmao yea ur signed up, all I did was ask a question and instantly found myself on the signed up list xD

But I was gonna join anyway.

The scenario must contain all things mentioned up there. Again : princess, dragon, castle, knight.
They can be anything you like, but they must exist.

So we dont need a dragon per sae, but something that represents a dragon (or the entire theme for that matter)?

For example, the dragon could be... Kemsyt? And the castle could be.. an island?

Yep. The dragon can be a seaweed and the castle a walking tree. If you have the brain to make a story with that

However, if you don't give a shit about this then go ahead and sign me up.

That's right, I don't give a shit. I give two shits! Consider yourself signed up.

Hey guys, I just want to say that the progress is going well, but slowly. It's going so well that I have decided to go all-in on this project which means that the scenario is going to be pretty big. This means that it's very likely that I won't be able to finish it in time (unless you want to be very lenient with the deadline).

I have to thank you Nickonhawk. It's been a very long while ago since I had so much fun with the editor.

Progress:

lol does this mean that you're also updating your sig status, Lewonas?

specifically the percentage of games playing

I haven't updated that in quite a while. I don't even play TERA anymore.

Hows everyones progress goin? I've slowed down alot lol.. I seem to make a couple changes, add a short quest, then somehow end up playing random map games

Just the boring bits right now I guess, once I get back into the storyline the motivation should pick up again.

Yeah, lack of motivation is the downfall of most designers. That's probably why we showcase things before they're done: To get more motivated.

But since you asked, I'm doing fairly well. Just finished the intro cinematic and still have a long way to go. XD

I haven't had time to work on it this weekend. Though I have finished the intro cinematic like Zeno. I guess the both of us design scenarios in very similar ways.

Oh yes, I have also shamelessly stolen Zeno's projectile trick for my own evil plans.

Quoted from Sikunt:

(...) then somehow end up playing random map games

That's a good thing. You need some distraction from time to time. But you mustn't let it go out of hand.

I work in strange and mysterious ways. Finished the middle, started the end, but the intro has 0 triggers

Oh yes, I have also shamelessly stolen Zeno's projectile trick for my own evil plans.

hahaha you actually managed to pull those triggers out of that mess? Well then, I can't wait to see what kinds of bullet hell shooters you end up torturing us with. XD
Oh, and I demand teh credits for that. >=)

I work in strange and mysterious ways. Finished the middle, started the end, but the intro has 0 triggers

lol it's probably better that way, because then, each time you playtest, you don't have to sit through ~60 seconds worth of cinematics XD. I know when I was making Desert Brawl 2, I must've playtested it a thousand times, and I'm completely sick of that opening soundtrack. Now I never use it for any of my scenarios, even if it fits perfectly. XD

Whay don't you make it skipable? Bah, it takes less than two minutes and can save hours. On the other hand, if you accidentally skip it while the scen loads, you risk of facking your map. That happened with one of my biggest creations
Nevermind. I see things are going well around here. About the deadline, two weeks starting now it's the best I can think of. In emergency situations, I can throw it even further, but I don't want this to take forever.

Yeah, I usually create an extra trigger to skip the intro cinematic and load everything that needs to be loaded (I have this bad habbit of including important effects inside the intro triggers, so I need to include them in this extra trigger as well).

About the deadline, two weeks starting now it's the best I can think of. In emergency situations, I can throw it even further, but I don't want this to take forever.

Well, then I can surely say that I can't finish the scenario before the deadline. I will definitely need a month, if not two months to finish the entire scenario. I don't want to rush it because that would hurt the scenario quality. But that's ok, I can just continue working on the scenario as my personal project. Perhaps I could submit a demo version of the map on the deadline date. We'll see.

same here. I can't finish in two weeks. I remember godpower's scenario design competition was announced around this same time of year, but the deadline was December, and even then, I couldn't finish my submission on time lol.
