Dahak

Recommended Posts

The goal of this contest is to use any number the following images (at least 1) to come with a SHORT scenario. The scenario should use the image such that it is central to plot.

 

In their scenario / entry submission contestants should provide a list of images used.

 

RULES:

1. Use at least 1 of the following images.

3. List the images chosen.

4. Enter by January 31, 2008.

5. Create a SHORT BoX scenario. Short means the scenario can be finished in 2 hours or less. Rough, but not absolute, guidelines are < 20 towns.

6. Do not use a BoX scenario that has already been released.

There's been a little talk about whether scenario submission should be mandatory or not. Either way, this could be a good opportunity for newcomers to learn about Avernumscript and scenario design so I highly encourage anyone out there who wants to try designing to participate here.

 

The community is very supportive of anyone who wants to try their hand at designing a scenario and more than capable of helping.

 

EDIT: Oh and to answer the question, I do.

Do I have to actually include the picture in the scenario, or can I just have a scene based on it? There's no splash screens in BoE.

 

Also, I didn't realize the haunted place was in a forest when I first saw it. I came up with a good idea, but it takes place in Exile. Damn.

I guess the shadows are dark, but before I posted them I made sure they weren't that dim. You should be able to see them with little trouble in well-lit room.


It's probably just me then. I have my monitor on 100% bright but in the scene with the soldier, all I can make out is his shield. Everything else looks black. Time to change monitors, me thinks.

*Just happens to have a spare monitor sitting on the floor next to her and hooks it up.*

Ah, much better.

Acting on that assumption, I have begun my scenario. It is based on images Dragon and Spook.

 

Thanks!

 

 

EDIT, 5-20-09: I'm afraid I'm going to need to drop out. Sorry, Dahak. I was making progress, but a lot of things have come up the past several months, and I doubt I'll be able to finish any scenario in the foreseeable future. Thanks for the opportunity!
