Contest Discussion Topic (2.0.X)

Yes, it is. Apparently there are a few multiplayer maps, but that is all. Fair enough though, all the single player ones were redrawn for legitimate reasons. Maybe next contest, everyone will have ironed out or fixed or finished their maps enough to make a good singleplayer division.

[Monster Iestyn]

It's not just Single Player's division in particular, all the divisions are severely lacking.

[Boinciel]

Get some multiplayer rushjob maps done stat, guys! I need to have as little competition as possible for the single-player division to stand a chance against Rob!

[Charybdizs]

One day for mapping
One day for items
One day for testing

can do

[Monster Iestyn]

One day and a half left and nothing new has appeared at all. So much for this OLDC too then.

Oh, and furthermore Rob has just retracted his own entry for that very reason. Good job guys.

Really? You, the king of getting nothing done, are going to act bitter over us not making anything for the OLDC? That's rude.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who read this in a similar tone to Barry's "master of unlocking" line from Resident Evil.

[MascaraSnake]

So, since this contest obviously won't happen, I would like to know: Is the OLDC canceled altogether or will we try again in two months?

[Scizor300]

I'd say save it for 2.1 when people are actually going to be interested in the game again, but that's just my opinion.

[Daywalker]

It would be better if the OLDC starts back up after 2.1 as opposed to cancelling them altogether in my opinion.

[akb778]

Yeah, I agree. Hold the contest off until 2.1 gets released and interest in SRB2 picks back up.

[kyllian1212]

I'd rather say:
1)Either the November-December OLDC is last one then we save up for 2.1
2)Either we directly save up for 2.1
3)Either we continue the OLDC and if the November-December one doesn't get any maps (or not enough,or they suck too much), we save up for 2.1
4)Either erm... nothing

One of those, yes.

I would actually be for 3

So when will the next contest be? I'm brewing up a pretty special level, and I'd really like a contest deadline to shoot for :)

If you're lucky, the January-Febuary OLDC, doubt it will happen but you never know.

[Monster Iestyn]

At this point it's really clear there's not enough interest in an OLDC anymore for there to be one, which is why we haven't had one since May/June now. Just consider it cancelled until 2.1.

[Shadow Hog]

Actually, we had a discussion about this in our staff room.

You have until January 31st. If there aren't enough maps to hold a contest by then, there won't be any more contests.

Until 2.1 I'm assuming, correct? If not, then I couldn't really care less.

[Ice]

If mine's the only one that makes it in, can there still be a contest? I've never been the contest winner, after all :3

Aaaaand, no one really ever bothers to play/review maps as thoroughly as they do in the OLDC.

When you mean by, "there won't be anymore contests", do you mean like no more contests entirely? Sure there aren't enough maps for OLDC the past year or so but I think it's because of the lack of intrest for SRB2. If the new version comes out, SRB2 will be swarmed by old and new members of the community. If entirely is the case, then why? I think you guys should hold OLDC on standby until 2.1 comes out. Submissions would be really intresting if you can make extra enemys, gimmicks, and gameplay whenever LUA scripting debuts to SRB2.

It will be sad to see OLDC disappear forever...

[Ice]

Okay, I will almost definitely not be able to finish my map by the end of this month, so yeah. Don't count on my super delicious level being there! Hell, don't even count on the contest happening at all :( :( :(
