[QUOTE=Stiffy360;36869850]The worst thing about this contest is you have to have an evil and wild imagination to come up with stuff like this. :V[/QUOTE] Not really... Right, i shouldn't be entering, but i need something else to do that isn't frozen skies, so sign me up.
OP Updated. You guys should really check out the "What makes a game scary" thread. It's a pretty much dead giveaway how to build a winning map from Frictional Games.
Low lighting, shadows, noises in the dark, the feeling of being watched... [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/594724080842419474/881C5967C4FE8B48D8605D906B8DD4473C797212/[/img] Not bad for someone using sdk after 2 months of the ease of unity. If unity was a scalpel, hammer would be a machete.
I'll give it a shot.
I hope nobody finishes anything. That way I have a shot at winning. (unless of course, I do nothing as well...)
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;36874610]I hope nobody finishes anything. That way I have a shot at winning. (unless of course, I do nothing as well...)[/QUOTE] And i hope you don't get people to vote for you again.
[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;36874659]And i hope you don't get people to vote for you again.[/QUOTE] I totally asked If I could.
[QUOTE=Stiffy360;36874765]I totally asked If I could.[/QUOTE] Really... It's like voting for yourself...it skews the results by getting people in to vote for a specific entry.
[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;36874875]Really... It's like voting for yourself...it skews the results by getting people in to vote for a specific entry.[/QUOTE] How so? I still lost by a landfall. Ask Anon. He said I could. (he kinda suggested it I think) Besides, Politician buy votes. Anyways, I promise not to get people to vote for me if that is what you care about.
One contest, Hawx got all of his steam friends to vote for him, his votes were all from people who never go to mapping. It was a big deal then too.

Bleh been mucking with normals for the past 2 days. NOT FUN But, the results were quite nice. [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/eknleb.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Antec;36875512]Wait what? I don't recall this sadly...[/QUOTE] Might've been someone like you, but it was a while back.
I just had one quick brilliant idea. Can we use Source Film Maker, and make a horror movie as long as it uses our own maps? CAUSE THAT WOULD BE EPIC! :v:

Janooba and I are joining this contest together. Is it alright to have something that's more "Science-fiction" style horror? Or does it have to be futuristic?

[QUOTE=KnightVista;36883067]I'd love to to test third-person on my map. Can you please upload that?[/QUOTE] You got a map already?! I'm still working on my idea
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;36883026]Does it work in ep2?[/QUOTE] Yeah I made it in ep2. Should work with hl2, ep1 and maybe gmod. I will upload the map right away.

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;36883084]You got a map already?! I'm still working on my idea[/QUOTE] Well I mean how do you do it? [QUOTE=Chrille;36883109][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=812kbmoZ6ng[/media] Some proper inspirational ambiance for you gents[/QUOTE] This music is some trippy shit.
[url]https://rapidshare.com/files/1954954617/3rdtestUPLOAD.zip[/url] Okay guys this is a simplified version. (It IS a competition after all.) IMPORTANT: -Playing this will mess up your mouse controls, fix this by restarting your game. -You can position the camera however you want it. -You can change the citizen model to any model with citizen animations. >logic_auto parents the model to the player and activates a servercommand that disables mouse pitch >the trigger activates the game_ui and it makes the model play correct animations.

[QUOTE=TangoGorila;36880948]Janooba and I are joining this contest together. Is it alright to have something that's more "Science-fiction" style horror? Or does it have to be futuristic?[/QUOTE] Yea, really just saying "Futuristic horror" feels very limiting. Me and Tango are planning something more along the line of psychological horror caused by science. I really want the go ahead on that before we get too far. Does everyone think that's alright?
