This compo is a little different to those before, as it basically gives you a free choice in what you wish to do. Different people wanted different themes, so I decided on one that could incorporate a host of different ideas.
The basic premise of this compo is that you are to create something unique in the Half-Life engine. This could be anything: From a original intro map, a new or rarely used style of graphics, or a stunning new effect. It could even be an entity setup!
Your creation, however has to be UNIQUE, not something that we've seen countless times before. You will be assessed on the originality of the creation as well as the attention factor: make sure it grabs our attention!
If you have any concerns regarding what you can or cannot map, either email me (ascarcella AT gmail DOT com), talk to me on IRC, or post in this thread.
You have the usual month to come up with the goods. I, and I'm sure the other judge(s) are looking forward to the efforts your produce. Good luck!
