Hello fellow game makers,
Here is another contest that rewards the winner with a copy of
The FPSC Bonanza, which includes FPS Creator and 8 Model Packs.
(
Click here for more details about The FPSC Bonanza)
Overview
The Thug wants to go trick or treating this year but he has no costume to wear, so he needs your help to make a cool costume.
This contest will be a texturing contest that will involve the use of a custom layer that you create to overlay on TGC’s stock Thug textures.
You will only be submitting your layer and NOT the stock texture or a remake of it. (The layer has to be 100% your creation)
By submitting only a layer that is 100% your own creation, we can avoid any copyright breaches of TGC’s textures.
These layers will be submitted here on the TGC forums in this thread, and since they will only work over TGC Thug Textures the layers will only benefit FPSC users.
Rules *
1) Only one entry per person.
2) Entry must be submitted as a .PNG file by 11:59 pm EST October 30, 2009.
3) Entry must be a layer that is 100% your own creation and not a retexture of TGC’s media.
4) Entry must be compatible with the stock Thug’s UV Mapping. (Do not submit textures for other stock characters)
5) Entry may or may not be a total cover up (your choice), but remember to make necessary areas transparent if it is an overlay.
6) Entry must include a screen shot of the Thug wearing the costume in game. (.PNG or .JPG)
7) By submitting your entry here, you agree that the entry will be considered in the ‘Public Domain’ and thus free for all to use and modify in the future.
8) Any entry that violates any of the above rules will be disqualified.
* The rules are subject to change, in the event that I overlooked something.
Prizes **
First Place:
The winner who creates the coolest costume for the Thug (I'm the judge) will receive a copy of
FPS Creator Bonanza, which includes the full version of FPS Creator and 8 Model Packs.
The best costume will also receive a model pack donated by Cyborg ART.
Second Place:
The next best costume (2nd place) will also receive a model pack donated by Cyborg ART.
** I ordered these FPSC Bonanzas for my contests before the tutorials ran out, at which time they were replaced with mp25 in the bonanza offer.
That means the winner will receive one of the following FPSC Bonanza offers depending on the availability of tutorial supplies...
(A) FPSC Bonanza = Full FPSC + Tutorial Discs + 8 Model Packs
(B) FPSC Bonanza = Full FPSC + 9 Model Packs (includes mp 25)
Thanks Cyborg ART for generously offering your prizes for first and second place!
Misc
More details are coming soon, and maybe even a video showing the process of creating and saving a Layer for the Thug in
Paint.NET...
...okay guys, here is the link to
the video on YouTube.
You will notice that I used a watermark to protect TGC's texture for the video. (yours will not show that, its only in the video)
Use a backup of your stock texture for a background reference instead of the original texture file.
That way you will not accidentally overwrite the stock file when saving.
Entries
NOTE: Entry is not validated until the sceen shot and PNG layer have been posted.
Once you post either I will add your name to the list of potential entries.
Once you have posted both requirements, then I will add the date next to your name.

THE ENTRY DEADLINE HAS PAST
The deadline for submitting your entry has past.
We had a total of three entries for this Thug Layer Halloween Costume Contest.
And the Winner is...
1st Place = Zombie
2nd Place = The Joker
3rd Place = Mario
Here is how I scored it...
Zombie

=======================================================
Zombie =
The Joker =
Mario =
As you can see, the Zombie and the Joker, both received 5 stars.
However, the Zombie won the tie, because it is an original design and not a proprietary character whose copyrights are owned by someone else.
Therefore, The Joker and Mario are not as original in design, so the Zombie wins the tie for its creativity factor.
I want to say that all of you did a great job, and that I hope everyone had fun.
I'll be sending the winners an email for your shipping info to be passed to TGC on Monday.
So, please wait for the email from me, and do not post the info here.
As, for the prizes offered by Cyborg ART... the winners will need to contact him for thoses prizes as I will not be involved in that delivery process.
Thanks again everyone!
All of you guys did a fantastic job!!!
Edit
By the way, since the first and second place was a tie... I am going to up the prizes.
Now, first and second place win a copy of the FPSC Bonanza.
As for Mario in third, I have to think of a consolation prize because I think you deserve some props for entering so early.
So, let me think of something for the prize GamerX, unless you have a suggestion of something. (you already have FPSC licensed don't you?)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
