August 2015 Garry's Mod Gamemode Competition, Hosted by Mod Mountain - Developers

So we get 5 to choose from? Cool. Team John Lua is kinda-brainstorming right now. Uh, I'm actually playing Minecraft. If it's alright with the others I'll make our little brainstorming discussion public once we figure out exactly what the hell we're doing.

So I'm still not really sure what pre-apocalyptic is about. I know you meant it's up to interpretation but you should probably clarify.

[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;48346002]So I'm still not really sure what pre-apocalyptic is about. I know you meant it's up to interpretation but you should probably clarify.[/QUOTE] On the brink of an apocalypse. Here's some familiar settings that come to mind: - Pretty much any sort of Cold War scenario - The Fallout universe before the bombs fell (looks like Fallout 4 wants to touch on this) - Bioshock's Rapture before it fell apart - Mass Effect 3 (although you could argue that 1 and 2 are both under the same pressure)

Awesome .. already brainstormed 5 gamemodes with the 'Deep Space' theme. Sadly some of them requiter too much content .. so going to look at 'Above the Clouds' as well. Happy scripting

Do we have to stick to one theme or can we mix/match a couple?

I don't see why it would be restricted. Creativity is good.

Yeah - I think a couple of those themes would work well together

[QUOTE=bitches;48348514]I don't see why it would be restricted. Creativity is good.[/QUOTE] That's what I suggested Savary do a couple days ago.

I think I'm going to stick with Medieval Times.

[QUOTE=NiandraLades;48348476]Do we have to stick to one theme or can we mix/match a couple?[/QUOTE] You can mix and match freely. I'm getting close to finishing the gamemode reviewing code (that users will use) and people can discuss how they feel about it.

Unfortunately I'm dropping out, got some stuff going on and doubt I'd be able to make anything worth it. If possible, I will try to participate in the DLC phase though. Looking forward to the entries, it's an interesting bunch of themes!

Would using Spacebuild models be permitted? It has a lot of stuff that could be useful for making space ships and bases, or even skybases/airplanes/seabases/submarines if you wanted to go with the "Above the Clouds" or "Beneath the Sea" themes.

Thanks for trying anyway, it means a lot to have talented developers make an attempt on my contest (: [QUOTE=MadParakeet;48357302]Would using Spacebuild models be permitted?

Hey OP, me and my team (NicDasomeone + robowurmz) signed up a little late on the 1st with the official site could you add us to the list? Looking forward to seeing what comes of this

Lets do this... [IMG]http://puu.sh/jnWr8/11e78112fd.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=mindfulhacker;48363801]Lets do this... [IMG]http://puu.sh/jnWr8/11e78112fd.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] RP? With the 'Medieval Times' theme?

[QUOTE=Nak;48364233]RP? With the 'Medieval Times' theme?[/QUOTE] No, pre-apocalyptic.

Team John Lua is disorganized, as predicted. I'm trying to expedite the planning process to figure out who should be the lead idea guy. I decided I'd ask what you people think. - ([IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/funny2.png[/IMG]) Spesscow survival/simulation game (I don't actually know what this is, it was Zerf's idea.) - ([IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/box.png[/IMG]) Spesscow farm - ([IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]) Something SS13-esque. Probably using spacebuild assets. Obviously much, much simpler because time constraints. - ([IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/wrench.png[/IMG]) Something similar to Elite Dankerous/Solarpower - ([IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/IMG]) Something where you cooperatively control a spaceship. Could also use spacebuild assets? Something like this, but actually inside the ship? [URL]http://www.artemis.eochu.com/[/URL]

Slack invitations have been dispatched to everyone who entered their email on the survey form, so make sure they don't caught in your spam filter. The email will come from "feedback@slack.com" and will say that "Jesse Savary" (my real name) has invited you to join Slack. Once you accept it you'll be taken to Slack where you can start uh... slacking :) [B]Edit: Once you get into Slack, I suggest you modify your preferences to make it a bit more useful:[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/grsq4C2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HxNchrN.jpg[/IMG] Compact fits much more information on the screen and makes thing a lot nicer to use. No point in seeing everyone's avatars, anyway.

Is it bad that it's already three, almost four days in and I still don't have an idea? :nope:

Prepare for spam emails from bots, posting your email address like that.

I think I'm going to drop out. There are just a lot of things I'd rather be doing this month. Sorry to TEAM JOHN LUA if I let you guys down, I'd love to work with you in the future, maybe in the next competition. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG] Not sure if I want to participate in the DLC phase or not.

I think I'll probably announce the next contest much more than a week in advance, to give people lots of time to plan.

SNIP BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE
