Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 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.

Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 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.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Short answer: Yes Long answer: Would this include BoE? If so, I would be interested. (I'm assuming it does, by the wording of #6.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I have my story, and have begun designing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Mandatory scenario submission: yes. And I'm in, as soon as I get to a natural break in designing Snowbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Is it just me, or do all the pictures seem really, really, dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Well... #1 is inside, #2 is in a shadow shrouded forest, #3 is nighttime, #4 is pretty light, and #5 in underground. 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.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 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 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.

A cave tree forest with leafy shrubs? There are no leafy shrubs in Exile. There's some in Upper Exile, but they're in a magical laboratory and therefore don't count.

Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Since BoE doesn't do splash screens I wasn't exactly expecting the designer to include it. However if you come up with a way to do it such as tweaking OBoE and packaging it into 1 awesome bundle I won't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 You can put .png files into BoA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 No, but it's easy to convert .png to .bmp. Heck, Paint will do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I've all but drawn the scenario. I still need to find time to code it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Due to timing issue I'm extending this to December 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Don't most people have finals during that time or is that just me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Finals time means less work normally, not more, I've found. But, since I'm not a participant, other people's schedules will be what actually matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 For me, finals means less work but usually more studying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yay, thank god! All of my finals-type stuff ends by the 8th. EDIT: Topic stickied. Sticked. Stickified. Stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Due to various factors the deadline is extended to Jan 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 2 weeks to go. Contestants, what is the status of your scenarios? Word was we would be ready to run come 1/31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Okay... I can't make it. I'll admit it, I fail. But I have too many other responsibilities right now to have a snowball's chance in the Sahara at finishing anything by the 31st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 So... did we have any entries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Are you telling me that I can submit anything and I'll win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Anything that follows the rules of the contest, anyway. Assuming there's really no entries. Of course, if it's really come down to an "anything regardless of rule-following" contest, I would like to submit The Killing Cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mistb0rn Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 When's the next contest? I wasn't around in time to enter this one, but I'd love to enter one at some point. (Assuming it includes BoE, of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Dahak Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 *Ahem* No one has submitted a scenario yet. Sorry the delayed posting, but I've been a bit busy. Because of the fact that no scenario have been submitted I'm going to say fie! Fie, I say. Fie! Deadline going out till June 1. If someone can't get a scenario done by that point...

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I believe the answer is yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Mistb0rn Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 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!

Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Heh, assuming this is not last year, I could probably make something by June. So count me in as well. It'll fill up the time until the 24-hour contest, at the very least. I will be basing my scenario on 'Greek Bath Splash'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I don't mean to be rude or anything, but this has been over before it began months ago. Maybe its best to unsticky it? (unless it gets a revive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
