THANKS TO XPLOSYS FOR UPLOADING A COPY OF UMBRA: http://download.fpsfree.com/n79q24t66ks8/demos/umbra.exe
The entire competition is based off of this game, which is why I have added to the rules that you must have played Umbra to participate
Yet another FPSC competition arrives
I think you'll all find this one interesting. I present to you...
MIND-TRIX
The objective is to build a 1 level game using any version of FPSC/Mod. The entry will be judged mainly on its ability to "scare" the player through the use of Mind Tricks and Audio etc.
An example game would be Umbra (link above).Umbra uses audio and flashback scenes to scare the player without the typical gore and "objects falling from above". This gave the game a very creepy atmosphere, and that is why it is still my favourite FPSC game of all time. If you still don't understand what I'm getting at, the films "The Ring" and "1408" should give you a pretty good idea
. If you would like to enter the competition, but have not played Umbra, I strongly suggest you do so.
HOWEVER...here is the catch. You must not post a storyline with the game - it should be revealed to the player as s/he plays through it.

Results
OK everyone, the results have been entered, processed, and completed. Hard decisions were made, but the winners have been decided.
In first place we have...(drum roll)
"1. The Wooded Grotto", by Coach Shogun 20
http://www.filefront.com/15107759/TheWoodedGrotto-MindTrix.rar/
With the scores averaging out at 78%, the Wooded Grotto by Coach Shogun 20 stood out as the clear winner. The game comes from the deepest and darkest places of your mind and focusses on memories and sound. It is set in a creepy, natural area and isn't like anything I've seen on FPSC. Well done Coach Shogun 20.
Second place was hard to decide - it was a battle between General Jackson's "The Mansion" and Lord Smith's "RAT". With only an average 4% difference between their scores, second place was a close call. But I give you, in second place...(drum roll)
2. "The Mansion" by General Jackson
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=86d046ad09fc51c77432d3c9683f450ae04e75f6e8ebb871
Scores for "The Mansion" averaged out at 72%. "The Mansion" takes the player on a journey through a haunted mansion. There are many twists, unexpected suprises, good uses of sound effects, and a wide variety of areas. Congratulations, General Jackson
And finally, a big well done to the other entries who didn't make it into first or second place, including RAT by Lord Smith, The Hospital by SamHH, and The Haunted Mansion by The Fps Creator Rocks!
Prizes will be distributed shortly, but Holez should have already been sent to you by xplosys.
@Coach Shogun 20, would you like $30 or 3,000 store points? (If $30, please send your paypal email to
[email protected]).
@General Jackson, I will get your points transferred ASAP - it will take however long the transfer takes.
Banners will be distributed once all prizes are given out.
Hope you have as much fun playing these entries as I did, and congratulations to the winners!
THE ONLY WAY TO STAY OUT OF IGNORANCE IS TO KEEP ASKING
