Insane FPS is now going to hold their first monthly competition. It's nothing great but I'm taking a stab at it. This isn't 100% official yet though. My forums have died down a lot lately so I'm trying to bring it back to life. I'm hoping this will do just that.

The competition will be on the best house design. Judged on 4 factors.

1. Realism- Is the house realistic? Do the entities you placed belong in realistic areas? You know, that type of realism thing.

2. Artful- Is the house decorated accordingly? Or is it just a plain room with nothing in it.

3. Loading and Frame Rates speed- Are the loading times drastic and how are the Frames? All those entities might cause a big slow down.

4. Custom media- Everyone needs custom media. We've all seen the stock media so show us something new.

This is quite simple. You have 3 layers to work with. The top layer MUST be used as a roof. So you can only have 2 layers to make rooms with.

Now I know this isn't the greatest competition ever. So I know you guys don't think it is worth putting your prize up. But I have worked very hard with my forums and website. I've tried to think of SEVERAL ways to expand the users. But mainly, I've gotten nowhere.

Commander and Chief and I got on MSM messenger and started to brainstorm ideas. To hold a monthly competition was the best we could think of. "But what kind of competition?" I thought to myself. After an hour or so of pacing throughout my house I decided "Why not make a house?"

Only one winner will be declared. So it's not like the monthly level design competition where there's been only 3 entries and they all win. Depending on the amount of entries I may do a top 3. But as of now, just one winner.

I will not announce the start of this competition just yet. I will need at least 3 people to offer a prize. After that, the competition begins and I will release a dead line.

If I am able to get prizes listed I will edit this post and post the OFFICIAL rules to the competition. Better yet, I'll just post it now.

You have already seen how this is graded. But here is the following rules.

1. The final build must be in an exe or zip folder.

2. Must be uploaded to filefront. The link shall be sent to me at my email fpsc_user@yahoo.com

3. Only 3 layers, each layer must be within 12x10 segment units. The top layer must only be used as a roof. So 2 layers only shall be used as the rooms of the house.

4. You must be a registered user to the forums at Insane FPS Forums. This is where the competition will be held.

I do hope people will find this a fun and entertaining competition. This is a very unique competition and most likely not seen before around here.

I'm thinking of entering, but maybe I shouldn't. I can't download custom media.

Can I be a judge, maybe? I'll tally up the points. No, I'm serious. Can't download anything.

**OFF-TOPIC** Jenkins, guess what? Yep, I changed the name of my game again, but this'll be the last name change, I promise.

You don't need to worry about lack of custom media. I've seen your layouts and you are very good. You have just as much o' chance as everyone else.

Outside scenery is acceptable and won't take apart of the 12x10.

It doesn't really matter which way you go 12x10. As long as one side goes no higher than 12 and the other goes no higher than 10.

Basements are always cool and can add a sort of creepiness. So we'll go 4 layers. 1 layer for the roof. 2 For the house itself (abides by the 12x10 rule). And the last layer for the basement. I don't really know about its size so let's say, the basement can be no larger than 4x5. That's hmmmm, roughly 32 by 40 feet?. So I guess that's good.

Well I'm glad to see that someone is interested. However, I still need someone to lend a prize.

My basement is larger than my first floor.

EDIT : Wait. Would we get more points if we make the custom content rather than use someone else's custom content? Because, I mean, it's all custom. Please say we get more points for making it.

EDIT #2 : Dang, Bloodeath. You responded not even a minute after me!

Okay. I don't have a basement so I didn't realize the size of them. We'll have it just 12x10 then.

And to your question Inspire. Are you saying if YOU made the custom media, than you get more points for using SOMEONE else's media? If so than yeah definitely.

Wow! Thanks guys! Thanks Bloodeath and S4!

Bloodeath- I'll gladly take up that offer. Your pack is looking very good. And this won't end for like another month.

Well since there is two prizes out there, I think this is ready. I was going to wait until 3 but both are extremely awesome prizes. So tomorrow after school I'm going to make everything official. Give the dead lines and what not.

Again thanks guys! Vishnu and the blood pack are both really awesome prizes.

[EDIT] WOOHOO! This is just too exciting. I think this will be very successful now.

Sly- Just take a stab at it. It's very good for practice. The first month I joined I entered the monthly competition and got second to last. My level was cruddy but it was very good practice. The next month's competition you could just see how much I improved. A huge improvement from the first months. And this is a good competition to get the feel of how to lay entities down in your level. Plus you get to be a member of my forums. Which is for Newcomers so you may just learn a thing or two while you're over there.

I'm going to pry myself away from the level design for my new game and get to work on some architectual engineering! (yes that means im going to enter...) its a shame that this didnt come along when i was using FPSC to practice building design, i made an extremely realistic house (i think) but it was quite big though...

best of the rest!

Yes. But the top story can only be a roof. No rooms aloud on the top story.

Of what?

Don't worry about it. It's still good practice. But don't forget that you have to register at my forums.

This is the whole point of the COMPETITION!!!! What difference does it make? Whether it is here or at my forums. Registering isn't going to do anything except take five minutes of your time. Probably even less. If you don't want to register.... so be it. If you don't register, you don't enter. End of story. Hate to break it to you but that's how this is going.

Anymore takers? Come on people, it's an awesome competition.

I feel that people should have the choice if they want to register or not to enter the COMPETITION, I think having people enter the competition from both forums will still be a good promo thing for your site.

Yeah, but then people will just do it here just to enter the competition. And won't even think about my forums. I'm just doing the thing that KeithC did with his Maze competition. He made people register at his site and no one complained. But now people complain when you have to register here? What's up with that?

Enter the COMPETITION does not mean you win the prize.

Everyone can enter the comprtition but only people that reg can win,the people entry would still be judge and if they win and reg they win the prize if they win and don't reg they just get a note that they won.

This would work for both partys if you want to enter for fun you can and if you want to enter to win you can,just makes things a little bit more easy.

Like the maze comp you could still play it without being a reg member.

That's a good idea. Alright I'll do that S4. Just let me dig up the set and final rules real quick.

[EDIT]
Insane FPS is now going to hold their competition.

The competition will be on the best house design. Judged on 4 factors.

1. Realism- Is the house realistic? Do the entities you placed belong in realistic areas? You know, that type of realism thing.

2. Artful- Is the house decorated accordingly? Or is it just a plain room with nothing in it.

3. Loading and Frame Rates speed- Are the loading times drastic and how are the Frames? All those entities might cause a big slow down.

4. Custom media- Everyone needs custom media. We've all seen the stock media so show us something new.



This is quite simple. You have 4 layers to work with. The top layer MUST be used as a roof. So you can only have 3 layers to make rooms with.

There is only one announced winner. Depending on the amount that enter I may make it the top 3.

The final build must be in a .zip or a .exe

You must upload it to http://www.filefront.com

Remember, you may only use 4 layers. Each layer must be no larger than 12x10 segment units.

You may not use stolen or pirated media. If you submit a house with stolen or pirated media you will not be entered and you will be banned permanently. Over here at Insane FPS we take pirating and stealing media very seriously.

The maximum file size is 300 mb.

The forum rules apply.

This contest begins the minute you finish reading this until May 11 11:59 (Eastern Standard Time) (23:59 for countries outside of the U.S.)

You do not need to make your own music or menu screen. No extra points will be awarded.

Judges will be given detailed instructions on how to (yes you guessed it) judge the entries.


~Prizes~
S4real's Vishnu.
And Bloodeath666's blood and stuff. ~NOTE~ At this moment he is not finished with the pack. If chosen you will receive when he finishes.
(Other prizes may be put up throughout the contest.)
Gone Model Pack 1 ~NOTE~ Same as Bloodeath666's Blood and Stuff Pack
~Judges~
Commander in Chief - Official Judge #1

We are in need of judges.

You may only claim a prize if you register. If you do not register, then you can only bear the title of the winner.
