At ease ! scary man you are scaring me

All i did was pointing out how i feel about this topic.
I think when you start a contest you should have thought things over and prepared.

Clear.

Thank you

still i join this contest ^_^

I agree with RSpawn. It's a nice contest idea but not very planned.
5 levels are relative. You can have BIG, COMPLEX levels and small, less complex levels. I want to join with a turn based strategy game. So what games are allowed anyway?
"Panzer General" for example is a wargame and strategy game, too. But I think it's not the type of game Mark thought of.

Make a list of rules and maybe some different prizes. Anyway I'd like to see some money in my pocket.

@scary_man: pathfinding as resource?! That's what's necessary for a strategy game so I think everyone will have it already when the contest ends...

@ MK.1
i know i know
but not everybody has great pathfinding right?
so if 3 persons join
the last one gets a pathfinding script to make his game better

-scary_man

strategy games don't work without pathfinding. Those without pathfinding won't have any chance to win and the game would be unplayable (just because you can't control your units).

Not all wargames need sophisticated pathfinding. In RTS, you do need great pathfinidng since it's a dynamic, constantly changing environment. In Non-RT Strategy games (like the BattleIsle series), since they are turn based, you need no or a trivial amount of pathfinding.

This just proves your point, MK, that this is a not well defined contest. Having said that, I applaud ANY effort by the 3DGS community to start a Wargame community...it's full of potential and grossly underused and if an ill defined contest is the way to generate interest, then more power to ya!!

OK.

IF YOU WANT MORE DETAILS I RESTART THIS CONTEST:

hello,

I am announcing the start of a wargame Contest.

You will have to create your wargame, with a good scenario. (a original story) Your game can be turnbased and you have to make a minimum of 5 medium levels (Medium: depends if your game is turnbased or not. No small levels like the computer screen, but no super-big levels).

I will open a ftp server so you will can upload your files in this server. Your game will be better with a intro menu and mabe a intro video (this is optional).

This contest will end: January 10 2004. (If this date is not what you want, say it)

So the contest is not started cause I don't have the prizes. How much you want? ($$$) and what you want?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

REALSPAWN, IT IS CORRECT NOW? (except for the prizes)

While I'm waiting I'll critizise your last post.
What is "good"?! noobs call their first work good and in experts opinion it's...well...crap.

11000 what? quants? squares? Remember the size of squares is relative and size of levels depend on the game (turnbased levels are smaller).

ok my post is finished
