Kyshakk Koan tridash Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Anyone interested in a 24hr scenario contest sometime over the summer? I find that it's the only way I'm going to release anything again, and it's a way for new designers to release something. Rules would be pretty much as usual: time period is a week Wednesday-Wednesday. You have a 24-hr block of your choice in that time period in which to make your scenario. (not sure whether block-splitting will be allowed, but if it means more people make something...) Any week including a weekend (most of them do...) should be fine for me, when's good for people? (If you're not interested in a 24-hr contest, what would you be interested in?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Block-splitting last time sucked (Nioca, I'm looking at you ), but I'd be up for that if splitting was limited (maybe 2 breaks per 24 hours?). We can get the details sorted if people show an interest. For the record, I'm in. And so should all of you; this is the only way to be taken seriously as a designer.

Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Are we allowed to come up with ideas and outlines before hand? Basically, can we do everything short of actually making the scenario file itself? If so, count me in, and I'm free just about any time this summer.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Now that I have a better idea of what goes into designing a scenario, I would be up for this, I think. I second the break stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks, bit I'll pass. I have yet to complete my entry for the random 1/10 contest back in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 If I got the chance to do this, the community would be better off if I devoted the 24 hours to finishing an existing work, rather than starting a new one. (But now I'm wondering if I could make Oops 2: I Did It Again in 24 hours.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Let's do this with a week including the last weekend of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 *revive* Well, I'm going to make a 24-hour scenario the weekend after this coming weekend (probably on July 1st). If anyone else would like to join me, I propose that we make it more of a compact than a contest: let's all agree to play each other's scenarios and comment on them. I don't want to go through judging and that garbage. I just want to get a few people to play my scenario and say what they liked and what they didn't (and not give it a damn rating, because that just gets people going in the wrong direction). I propose the deadline be the following weekend (say, July 8), and you can split your 24 hours into a maximum of 2 blocks, ideally. The point is to finish and make something worthwhile, though, so if you take more time or something, it's not as though I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Anyone else in for this weekend? If not, I'm going to be a little bit less specific on the 24-hour deadline and just try to finish it by the end of the 4th of July. Hell, that sounds more fun anyway, so I think I'm going to do that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'll probably make something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm gonna be a little busy this weekend, but I could try putting something together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Status check? I'm hoping that I'll be done with what I'm doing with one more day of all-day work (on Wednesday). I haven't really been following the 24-hour thing at all, just trying to get a quick scenario out. It's been interesting, given that I started with literally no plan at all when I sat down at the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody BJ Back From the Beyond Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm still in the planning phases here; haven't even made the scenario file yet. I'm going to be busy tomorrow, but I'll have time after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I will attempt to shunt out some of my usual low-quality trash by Friday. I'm actually working on a (very) short scenario that I'd rather finish first, but hey, I'm all for solidarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did make something, but I've only sent it out to a couple of people. I might release it, but I want to do something with Discord first.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have to admit I was hoping for Slartle/Slartortle/Slartoise, or maybe even Slarticune. But I guess I can't complain about this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well inform us when you release it, I'm eager to play it and give helpful feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I read it as "Slartuccino" at first, and was expecting Slarty on an overpriced coffee cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Cpt. Charles Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 How about another Randomized contest? I liked the idea of that when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 A contest sounds nice, but I still have an unfinished scenario that I started in...god, 2009 I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Little Fyora Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 A contest sounds exciting. I can't make scenarios yet, but I'm learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 In case anyone's interested, my failure at a 24-hour scenario is still in progress. I'm about two-thirds done. It's a little larger than LP or Nobody's Heroes, which is why it didn't get done in 24 hours. I starting designing, and the scenario just came out bigger than expected. Uh, it also makes most sense if you've played Exodus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
