Ok so let me get this straight. There is only 1 theme and no twists. Is that it?

That's right.
Recycling has to be a gameplay aspect, or can we, for instance, recycle old concepts?
[QUOTE=Nevec;23120348]Recycling has to be a gameplay aspect, or can we, for instance, recycle old concepts?[/QUOTE]
It needs to be a gameplay aspect. You could get clever and use recycling as a metaphor though, but it still needs to be a fairly direct gameplay aspect. Recycling an old gamemode concept as your game theme would defeat the purpose of themes.
I think I may actually join this one.
I actually have some ideas for this theme. :v:
Excited!
There's an idea floating around there somewhere in my brain, I just gotta flesh it out in time.
Ugh whats next? Global Warming Apocolyspe theme? I'f so i might just shoot myself i cant stand all the damn tree huggers i understand that littering is bad i respect that i do recycle but lets leave that out of our video games I mean realy! i thought cartoon network already tried this? Btw global warming is real but HUMANS ARE NOT the cause of it its a natrual cycle.

Dude, it's just a theme. Chill. The first gamemode contest theme was gardening.
But I might do a Global Warming Apocolyspe theme next just to spite you. :v:

Hot damn, then I'm all ready for next month's competition, too! Woo! :toot:
Hehe that might be cool...... but it's ok my nerd rage is over.
So how many people are planning on entering this one?
I migth try to participate,(first gamemod! lest do this!), i will try my best..=D
[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;23164541]So how many people are planning on entering this one?[/QUOTE]
I am for sure.
Depending on how well I can manage my time, and how well things go according to plan, I may have two entries to submit.
As it is, I'll most definitely have at least one. In fact, I alt-tabbed from working on it to check on this thread - hence this post.
Quick question regarding the competition - should we only make threads for our entries when they're completed, or use them as WIP threads? (when there's something to show, obviously.)
I think I might try, I have idea. Does anyone have a good fretta skeleton?

I released one a while ago.

It's not really finished, but that's about all you'll need.
Sounds good so far i hope to see some badass shit and i also hope for the oppertunity to judge :D.
I'd like to test my lua skills. I always work on things but never actually finish them because i don't have any modelers/mappers to help me :P.
This time I actually have a concept. I will start working on it once I polish it a bit more.
Fantastic. I hope we get more gamemodes in this time.
I may enter this, although I'm going to NZ for 2 weeks snowboarding tomorow so I'll only have a week when i get back to do it less what i do in the next hour or so.
I have a concept, but with all the shit going on, Engineer update and stuff, it's really hard to choose between TF2 and Garry's Mod. :ohdear: Can't wait for this to be over so I can get back to coding.

This is exactly my problem, the Engineer update is very distracting.
Valve must be conspiring against me.

Someone should make a crafting game where TF2 items are raining down from the sky and you have to pick them up and craft them into hats. The game is over when everyone is submerged by items. :v:

Hats. :lol:

Also, does anyone know when they'll be posting threads to showcase their entries?
I'm going camping all next week :P
I might enter, if I can think of a good concept.

I assume this means we can make threads for WIP gamemodes?
If so, then probably later tonight. I would be working on it right now (only have one more thing to add before it can be showcased.)
However, at the moment I'm going to go play the [b]Original[/b] Murder (A friend wanted to host it). I can't wait until we get some kids whining how we stole Trouble in Terrorist Town's idea, even though Murder was made almost two years before TTT. And the fact TTT pretty much took the entire principle behind Murder and added random deathmatch. :rolleyes:

You should probably read the Rules thread. You're supposed to make a thread about your gamemode once you have a little proof of concept.
