[QUOTE=JSharpe;13758303]Because i'm giving a prize does that mean i can't join?[/QUOTE]
Of course you can join. We could just give you a different prize. I hope to get more prize donors. Anyone who has a prize to donate to this, please PM me.
I would rather we stick with this than restart on my idea completley.
That's just me though.
Keep the idea on hats. Although it's a broad item which we [i]think[/i] can't be used for much is great idea.
It can be used for a lot. You could be collecting hats, trading hats, shooting hats, putting stuff in hats, etc. The possibilities are endless!
Stick with hats, I already have a gamemode in the oven!
Im posting this to say I will not enter the contest. This is so that I can use and see iRzilla's side scroller script. Its only for legal stuff, so... just don't let me enter.
Oh, also while the contests are going on, we will be choosing judges. It will be mahalis, some number of chosen members, and I. Not sure how many yet. We don't want to risk a tie so it will be either one other judge, or two others to keep a nice odd number. Although, last time it was four judges.
So would it be accpetable to use hats as a power up, along with normal gameplay?

Gameplay has to be about hats. If it was just a side thing it wouldn't be a twist now would it?

Fuck, alright.
Minor problem but it's all worked out now.
Just remember, it doesn't need to be full-blown. Just present a game that has a clear concept and is functional enough to play and enjoy. Then it's judged. Whichever is most fun is more likely to be the winner. Once the contest is over, the people who entered it in time will have their gamemode threads moved to the gamemode release section where you can continue work on it and release new versions(or at least that's how it worked last time). Perhaps we can move it to the normal gamemode section, but we can figure that out later.

-snip. Timer on them expired and I have no mroe until the next beta invite release. :(-
Ah yes, I'll add that.
Why, this isn't that difficult at all! My hats are almost done!

All done within the past 2 hours.

Read my edit please, I just checked the beta center, sadly. If they offer beta invites again I'll gladly give one to whomever wins if you'd like to keep the prize, but there's no guaranteeing when that will happen, sadly. Sorry. :(

I think we all don't really care if the gameplay involves hats, but the fact that you can't use them as hats (hence the "wtf") is mostly the problem.

Is that a sombrero?
Is it a custom model?
Also @CrashLemon, the hats can be used as hats, just that can't be the only thing.
It can't be super-duper-awesome-side-scrolling-gamemode with added hats.
[QUOTE=Mr Affinity;13759665]Is that a sombrero?

It's a clock and a domelight, drawn by doing this:
[lua] self:SetModel( "models/props_c17/light_domelight01_off.mdl" )
self.Entity:DrawModel()
self:SetModel( "models/props_c17/clock01.mdl" )
self.Entity:DrawModel()[/lua]

Exactly. The purpose of the twist is to throw early starters off and make it funny and unique. You may use hats as hats, but we will not accept your super-duper-awesome-side-scrolling-gamemode is you just slapped some hats on all the player's heads or add it as a small side-category of the game.
[b]Gameplay must directly involve hats in some way, shape, or form. Is that clear enough for everyone?[/b]

He has the right idea! That is called "creativity" for those who didn't understand!
If hats define classes like soldiers, rocketeer, etc... ( writing names out of my head ) is it fine?
Does up count as a side?
i.e. Can I side scroll up?

It should... At least in my mind it does...

Yes.

Would that have anything more to do with gameplay than making your teams different colors?
[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;13760277]Would that have anything more to do with gameplay than making your teams different colors?[/QUOTE]
Well if someone drops his hat you can pick it up and it change your class.
Ah. That's clever.
can we basically just make the goal/boss/character a hat?
Yeah, absolutely. It's not too original, but if that's all you can come up with, it satisfies the requirement.
Question:
By Side Scrolling,does it have to be a "Side-View onto the Player", like in the youtube video ?
Or is the kind of Side-Scrolling like in RTS games also allowed?
I'm suprised there's no threads up yet. I've just got my base map done and working on the camera view shit now.
