I'm working on an actor, I just need to finish up the gibs, so with any luck I'll post it sometime this evening.

Oh nevermind, I came up with an even simpler and cooler idea.

I'll try to get it working asap

Only two entries so far. Should the submission end time be extended?

What was the deadline?

Today.

No reply to the extension, so I'm going to go ahead and extend. Maybe the would-be contestants are too busy at the moment to look at this thread, or something.

Oh dear, I always manage enter the competition with the least entrants.

Contest over for 2 days now, but better late than never, or something like that.

I gotta admit I did better than I expected, even with the low number of entries and votes. There's no shame in losing to Major in what was essentially a spriting contest.

Anyway, Major also very kindly offered me the rewards of contest. I already own killing floor, so I declined that price and I'm not really that interested in dictating a new theme. I would rather have a theme that draws a lot of entries. So, suggestions please. What theme would make you (a modder) participate?

Just to get the ball rolling, I think a theme with less restrictions would be a good idea this time. We've had 2 non-fancy themes, so I think it's high time we had a fancy theme.

Unconventional Weapon maybe? A weapon that is not used/does not behave like regular weapons of its group.

An unconventional grenade could be something that, instead of exploding into shrapnel and impulse particles, teleports all objects within a set radius to random locations in the scene, could be used to quickly get rid of powerful enemies or escape a hazardous situation.

An unconventional rifle could be like a periscope with the muzzle offset raised a good distance above the rest of the gun, letting you shoot over terrain.

And so on.

I'd join one of those, you don't necesarilly need Lua and some very cool things could show up. Just grab an everyday CC problem and solve it with a mod.

Alright, lets get this theme started, we'll see how many entries we end up with.

Theme is Unconventional Weapons. The mod needs to be a weapon, that is, something that can kill (or neutralise) enemies and unconventional, that is, unexpected in its use or behaviour. Other than that go nuts! firearm/tool/grenade/bomb/actor/crab, whatever it's all good as long as it can be used as a weapon and is unconventional.

Contest started, have at it.

That's my kind of theme! I'm very likely to participate.

And the same prize again, but this time, thank Major and clunatic for it; they both wanted the prize from last contest to be kept for future winners, so I've got an extra.
Although I don't think I would have ran out soon, if ever, otherwise, anyway...

Azukki, if it's not much of an annoyance, why do you have so many copies of Killing Floor?
