Call me Skarik Posts: 5,495 Group: Members Member #94 Joined: October 5, 2006	Submission Deadline: 11:59:59 at December 31st, 2009. Time is Running Out! If you are working on your own project, now is the time to make a small Christmas style minigame that will relax your nerves. If you are not Christian - you can now blow up Santa or some other major figure and win something for it. Rules and Judging edited December 8, 4:14 PM Pacific Time THE CONTEST: THEME: CHRISTMAS LIMITATION: 5 MB MAX Rules Limit two (2) submissions per person. Teams may be formed. The above rule still applies. Any submission that does not pertain to the theme will not qualify to compete. Any submission that does not stay within the limit will not qualify to compete. The U3D community shall decide whether a submission meets the above two rules. Any submission deemed by the U3D community not meeting the rules will not qualify to compete. Any submission not using Ultimate 3D for rendering the majority of the submission will not qualify to compete. To enter your submission, either post in this topic or contact me, Skarik. You can get my email here. Relax. The rules aren't strict. Your submission just needs to use Ultimate 3D and pertain to the competition topic. Judging Judging is to be determined by the U3D community and four (4) elected members of the U3D community. The 3 submissions gaining the most votes from the U3D community a month after the deadline shall be submitted to the elected members for review The four (4) elected members of the U3D community must write a review for each select submission and choose the best The submission with the most votes of the elected members shall win first placing in the competition The submission with the second most votes of the elected members shall win second placing in the competition The submission with the third most votes of the elected members shall win third placing in the competition If two games win second placing in the competition, the third placing is removed and the two games both receive second placing If two games win third placing in the competition, the two games both receive third placing Prizes are to be divided equally in relation to the submission standing The community reserves the power to question the choices of the elected members. This will force the elected members to review their decisions. For the better of the understanding of the U3D community and others, the elected members shall judge the submissions to a total of 65 points according to: game play for twenty (20) points, graphics for ten (10) points, relevancy to the theme for five (5) points, relevancy to the limit for five (5) points, sounds and music for ten (10) points, innovation for five (5) points, presentation and detail for five (5) points, and story for five (5) points. All this amounts to is judging done by the Ultimate 3D community. Sometimes it'll help your popularity to join the forums, other times it'll help just to stay away. Judges Despellanion Andrew75 Dr. Best I will judge as a backup if the aforementioned judges are unwilling. Prizes If you've got some ideas, don't be afraid to contribute! If there actually is some sort of a turnout this time, maybe Dr. Best will be motivated to edit the website's front page. Try to stay away from cash prizes, as some of our members do not like to bring money into these things. Spoiler: click to toggle OCTOBER 12 2009: This is now the call to start making game engines! Team up with whoever you want. Submissions are limited to two per person. Definite theme will be posted at the end of the week. THEME SELECTION: Choose one of the following of each section. Post your choices, and a reasons why you chose your choices and why you would compete in this competition. If you wish to keep your selection anonymous, you may PM me your choices and reasons. Spoiler: click to toggle /i = Open to interpretation where permitted by national law. THEMES: Alien Invasion Retro Movie /i Unique /i Christmas New Year Winter LIMITATIONS: No Textures No Models No Models AND No Textures No Limitations 'cause I'm a U3D jock Mini Game /i 5 MB Max 2D PRIZES: Give ideas of prizes and what you'd have to contribute. Awaiting 10 votes - Votes are not tallied publicly. FAQ Spoiler: click to toggle Q: Why is the deadline so far away? A: For a number of reasons. First of all, I won't be able to do anything this month do to college applications. California applications apparently must be due by the end of October. I'd like to finish WSU and NYU applications and scholarship applications first, though. Also, people just won't join if they think it'll take a lot of time. Q: Why announce the deadline before a theme is chosen? A: The themes are mostly generic. That gives people time to set up an engine. As I hinted at before, I want people to join into this. Q: No poll? A: I don't trust people. Q: There's a grammar error at 'a U3D jock.' A: No there isn't. U3D starts with a consonant sound. Thus, a stays as a and doesn't become an. Q: What if I don't want to participate? A: Do it anyways. Your game doesn't have to be all high and mighty, and if it does, you got some priority issues. Start planning. I already know what I'll be doing, based on limitations: if no models, I'll be making a racing game, fulfilling some of other's wishes by making it open source. If the limit is no textures, I'll be making a simple FPS, since I've done the process before a thousand times. Vote people! Start planning and vote! Edited by Synexn-Prime, Dec 9 2009, 02:15 AM.

Shaman Of Time Posts: 1,516 Group: Members Member #3,001 Joined: March 25, 2009	Theme: I like both Alien Invasion and Retro, so maybe a combo? Limitations: 5 MB Max, because I have dial up and I don't like any of the other limitations. I would really like a "No animated model" limitation. Prizes: Having your name posted on the U3d home page as the winner of the contest. I might enter this one.

Call me Skarik Posts: 5,495 Group: Members Member #94 Joined: October 5, 2006	If there were no models and no textures, it would just be colored primitives. And Desp is good at doing ninja posts. Edit: So is Sothh. I'd probably go for either unique, or a Winter+Alien combo. Edited by Synexn-Prime, Oct 11 2009, 06:19 PM.

Call me Skarik Posts: 5,495 Group: Members Member #94 Joined: October 5, 2006	Oh my gosh guys. This is awesome. For your guy's information, a ninja post is a post that pops up when you're posting a two word post. It's impossible unless the other guy is a ninja or cultural equivalent.
