Contest #4: Vote!
« on: September 02, 2009, 02:03:13 pm »
Idea of Contest:
The day when Soldat 1.5 was released, Soldat has supported animation gif as you all know. There is only few maps made using this new option, the issue has been that there hasn't been mapmaking program which supports animation gif. Well, as most mappers know Soldat Polyworks got updated to support animation gif (thx to Fryer). It's about time arrange contest for this new ability.

Special info:
It's allowed to select any gamemode that Soldat provides. The map has to use at least one animation gif scenery. Of course it's strongly preferable that you use multiple gif scenery. The best theme wins!

Deadline: 30.8.2009

Since it's according to theme: it was definitely between Carnival and Pirate Cove, but Pirate Cove has that extra pleasing-to-the-eye feel, so I voted for it.

Cog n' Wheel was great but frankly too simple; Hurricane was cool, but felt a little unfinished. If design were a bigger deal with this gif. contest, I'd vote Carnival.
"Have you been to the carnival, I would like to see you..."

Needless to say, all of the maps were fun.

I voted for carnival just because it's a crazy-original theme  :)  Love it [retard]

Thank you P0ppin. :)

I voted for Hurricane. When I tested it, and died running into the spinning propeller, I knew I was in love. <3

Usefulness wise though, the bird scenery from PirateCove is impossible to match. Absolutely fantastic.

Even though PirateCove is gonna win this one easy, I'm very satisfied with teh results of this. Despite the challenging theme and small number of entries. I believe that in a few months, when .gif's become more of a staple, this contest theme will deserve a re-hash.

Hopefully around the time I finish mine.

P.S., I liked carnival; original and fun, but PirateCove's broken ship was just too hard to resist.

Piratcove because I felt like a pirate. the others are also good so hard to pick
Water looked a bit flat, but the birds were more realistic then in Hurricane.
Love the propells though
