There is a distinct lack of sufficient halloween models... anyone know where I can get some? Besides THW that is. The only halloween model I'm using is a pumpkin by R2D2.
To be more specific, i need some kids in costumes, or just halloween village child skins, and costume attachments.

First of all, hi to everyone who still remembers me. Though i havent been online with my account for some days i still check the forums once a while as a guest and read about some topics which sounds interesting.
Lately i read about the contest and i would like to join, i already started making some terraining and the basic gameplay idea.
But still i have some questions:
1.
Our post in the submission thread, shall it be styled as if we would submit a custom map in the "members project" forum or should it just be a download to the game and nothing more? If the submission should be made detailed, is it judged as well how good we present our game?
2.
Is the actual game itself or just the 'idea' judged. I mean, will you test play the game and thence give points regarding to how much fun it was or will you just read about the gameplay and imagine whether it would be fun or not.
This might be important, i got to know whether i have to remove all possible bugs and test play the game several times on B-Net before submitting to point out all problems of gameplay.
3.
Does balancing play a role in the judgement? (Bad balancing might be a reason for a game for not beeing fun i suppose)
4.
Does it really have to be a 'mini'-game? May a game which is not mini but not big, rather medium good as well? (for example: Death-Sheep is a mini-game towerdefenses or tag games are medium and rpgs and rts games are big [in my opinion])
thanks in advance. Accname.

Style it as you want, the nicer it looks, the better.
6 pages of explanations aren't the way forward though.
> If the submission should be made detailed, is it judged as well how good we present our game?
Nope, it won't affect your grades.
> will you test play the game and thence give points regarding to how much fun it was or will you just read about the gameplay and imagine whether it would be fun or not.
Test the game.
> Does balancing play a role in the judgement? (Bad balancing might be a reason for a game for not beeing fun i suppose)
You answered that yourself.
Of course, not everything needs to be perfectly balanced, though as long as it doesn't majorly affect gameplay, it's fine.
> Does it really have to be a 'mini'-game?
Yes. Most genres could be made into minigames, I guess. So there's no limitations there.
Though I would prefer games which simply wouldn't make it as full-fledged games - exclusively 'mini'.

Cause i most probably will submit a map to this contest might i ask whether my game's concept is small enough to be called a 'mini' game?
I am givin you only the basic idea so dont worry, there will still be some points which will make the game a bit more special which i wont tell right now.
My game has 2 opponent forces.
A single player is playing the 'evil' and 1 - 6 players are playing as the 'good' guys.
The evil player has to kill a specific amount of special units on the map while the good players have to protect these.
If the good players kill the evil players hero he will respawn after a while.
If the evil player kills on of the good players heroes they can be resurrected by their allies.
The evil player is winning if all good players are dead (they can resurrect each other but thats not that easy) or a specific amount of those special units on the field is killed.
The good players have won if they can manage to take a specific amount of items dropped by the evil players hero upon death using them for some kind of magical ritual.
this game sounds not too hard though not too easy as well. I believe a game with pro players might even take about an hour though a game only with newbis might as well take some time till they get what to do.
I dont know whether this wont be too big to be called a minigame anymore. i would compare its content to games like vampirism or island defense.
Will it be disqualified or will i be judged less good if the game seems to be not a minigame?

Varine:
Or even third party. Like if you don't have an original one in a functional condition, you cannot play this game properly. Like yeah the keyboard mods exist, but I think those are BARELY functional -
Varine:
And since almost all of my programming experience is with defunct shit now, I figure my best place is helping preserve legacy stuff. Which I don't know how to do necessarily, but I need some kind of a hobby and figuring out how older things worked is the only shit that really interests me. Well soldering and restoration is fun too, but no one is bringing me new stuff to fix and restore, so it's mostly old shit, and I LOVE OG Xbox so much. I want to make sure it can function as long as possible, until someone can effectively emulate it at least. I have like 15 I was going to fix over the winter and didn't get to.+1
-
Varine:
I also have a couple OG gameboys, but idk if I can do that without like, manufacturing new parts that no one makes anymore and I can't do that right now

Currently in the middle of getting the probate process going. We're doing the informal probate process.+3 -

The Helper:
Yeah Tom, me too sorry for your loss buddy my mom told me she finds out her olds friend died from Google searching them. She had not talked to one of her old friends in a year and found out she died from Google. Also another one in the same session. RIP all of them my sincere condolences Tom+1 -
Varine:
We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
-
Varine:
We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.+1
-
Varine:
But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
-
Varine:
I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
-
Varine:
I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
-
Varine:
He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
-
The Helper:
So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....+2

We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source. -

Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
-
But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.

The Helper:
SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
-
jonas:
I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering -
jonas:
will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
