Here it is, the BIG FPSC competition #2! Get cracking and any questions then please ask (as I'm sure there'll be some.
)
THEME
This years theme is Nuclear Fallout, it probably hasn't escaped your notice that I've been talking a lot about FallOut3 (check it out on YouTube to see why!) and also doing some tests on how well FPSC can handle something like that so I thought why not build a game around the same theme? Well, here's your chance to create your FPSC version of FallOut3.
You can do an outside or inside or both! Which ever takes your fancy. I've been testing a few levels myself and you can view the results in this thread:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=158549&b=25 and is also mentioned in this months newsletter. There are no restrictions so you can do whatever you want and how many levels you want as long as it's nuclear themed.
There are plenty of old planks, rusty cars, junk, rock and abandoned buildings around to have a go with and attached is a rar file with some screen shots just to give you inspiration.
Good Luck.

JUDGING
Judges will be looking for the best take on a nuclear fallout level and also how well it plays as a game.
Overall Look
Does your game
look like it's set after a nuclear war? Or is it some segments bolted together with a few buildings? The better the look, the more the points.
Game Play
Is there actual game play or are you just wandering around?
'Outside the box'
Does your game have something unusual? Is there something there no one has thought of? what gives it that 'play again' factor?
Frame-rate optimization
how well does your game run? Are you using tips and tricks to get a decent frame rate or is everything running slower than a snail with cramp?
RULES
|- This competition will end Feb 1st 2010.
|- ANY version of FPS Creator can be used that can run on XP, Vista & Windows 7, including modded. This does, unfortunately exclude X10 as the games won't run on XP.
|- Minimum number of entrants for the comp to go forward
must be 5.
|- You may use custom media; to include entities, segments, sounds, music, and scripts, etc. Just remember that all the levels will be made public once the competition has been judged, and a decision has been made public.
|- There will be NO stealing, pirating, or unauthorized borrowing of media/music/or scripts to be used in your level. If this is discovered, you will be automatically disqualified and possibly banned from the forums. If you're not sure if its OK to use someone else's material; then the best thing to do, is not use it. If you do use someone else's material, then you must have WRITTEN permission to do so (unless the permission is given in the license agreement; i.e., free for 'commercial or non-commercial'). Forging written permission will also result in punative action.

| - There must be a direct link to your entry. Links through a website or where you have to register to download won't be accepted.
|- Remember that the forum rules still apply; in that there will be no nudity, or swearing allowed. Either of those items present in your level could be grounds for disqualification (an attempt to contact the designer may be made, but is not required).
|- The judges will
NOT enter into any 'heated discussions' as to why you though yours was better than other entries.
A big thanks go to all those who've sponsored this competition and a special thanks goes to BiggAdd for the amazing banner.
