Reply to Development jam: Modify the main game!
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Prize distribution round now in motion! Please see below for more details.
I'm going to do this anyway in spite of Skurn
Deadline
July 7th 23:59 GMT and 19:59 US Eastern which is July 8th 00:59 British Summer Time, 09:59 AEST, and 11:59 NZST.
Introduction
Let's face it, the original game has many problems, inconsistencies, and oversights that could easily be rectified, as well as many other aspects that could be improved upon in the current era. How about NPCs that acknowledge that a certain house is on fire, or pay attention to the fact you just beat some poor girl to death? Maybe certain enemies or weapons could do something more interesting according to player strength! Or maybe you're inclined towards writing and have thought of a subplot involving NPCs with actual personalities and backstories, or femdom. If you're an artist, you may want to do some creative re-rendering such as different-coloured/sized pillbugs according to strength.
If you're devoid of inspiration, you may want to investigate the Achievement Edition, or otherwise The PNG farmer for something subtler. There's also this guy who really wants Milder to stay dead.
Criteria and rules
* Your submission must modify the main game in a way that is superior in quality to Isle of the Pigs
* It may take the form of a bunch of scripts, graphics, sound effects, music, an alteration of the map such as a working PortTown, or a combination thereof.
* One may work alone or as part of a small group.
* You may rejig something that you've been working on to fit this criteria.
* You or your group may submit more than one mod and therefore potentially receive multiple prizes.
* You may not submit something that has had a previous public release. For example Sharp could not take scripts from "Forest of Dangers" and place them in the Murkwood Forest and attempt to pass it off as the "Dangerous Murkwood Forest mod".
* You may include existing scripts and graphic mods, however they should not be the main focus and should be there only to add functionality.
* Please do not discuss your submission in anything more than the most general of terms prior to the due date.
Submission
* To enter, you must submit your finished product to me somehow before the due date, most likely through some sort of file host with a link in a private message. Do not use the file upload form on this site.
* Your submission should be in some sort of archive format that isn't RAR, and preferably with the usual directory tree (story, sound, graphics) for running from a frontend. A bunch of scripts or whatever else is also acceptable, however.
* If you are modifying something that applies to a specific area, you are kindly requested to include a save that best demonstrates your alterations.
Judging
* Primary judging will be conducted by a secret cabal consisting of me and several others to confirm submissions suitably meet the above criteria, as well as apply some initial weighting to final rank.
* Submissions will be judged primarily on their overall quality along with apparent effort, originality, utility to the player of the main game (such as for a weapon mod), and ingenuity.
* As I am one of the custodians of DinkLua, anything that does something interesting with Lua scripts such as behaviour trees or pathfinding will be highly regarded by the cabal.
* After the primary judging round, submissions will be made into web builds on itch.io as well as *.dmod files if not already, after which secondary judging by the submitters themselves will occur to determine the bulk weighting. They may not vote for themselves!
* Afterwards will be community judging, in which forum members who signed up prior to this post and did not submit something have the ability to influence the final ranking somewhat.
Prizes
Will be in the form of a Steam key from the following:
* Crysis 2 Maximum Edition
* Super Meat Boy Forever
* The Shivah
* Proteus
* Uurnog Uurnlimited
* FTL: Advanced Edition
* Grim Fandango Remastered
In which the primary winner gets first choice, and the rest whatever's left in order of ranking. If there are more submissions than keys, the pool will increase. If you don't use Steam for whatever reason, you may opt to have coasters sent to you instead. The primary winner may opt for both a Steam key and coasters. If there turns out to be only one entrant, he/she/they may claim up to three keys from the pool, with RangerLord able to claim one leftover. If any of this is unclear, make your inquiries known.
