LOTUS_GAMES'S PROFILE

Really? Could you be any more rude? This is a community contest simple as that I don't need your negativity Craze, if you want to be a man gimme a call, we can talk mr. high and mighty.

Lotus Games is starting up a community contest sponsored by Save Point Video Games.

Here are the rules for the contest:

-Post a video response on youtube for this video:

-Create a single map in any engine you wish. It can be 2d or even 3d.
-Play through your map in your video and talk about whatever you wish. Some ideas might be your creative thinking process, you could tell us what inspired you, if there are any objects or areas of significance.
-The map can be any size you wish and can be whatever you wish...forest, town, cave...
-The deadline is May 31st. You can submit your video response at any time you wish though I would recommend you do it sooner than later.

How will the winner be determined??
-Simple, the video with the most likes will be declared the winner! This is why you'll want to post your video response sooner than later, as it will give people more time to view and hit like!

Why should I join this contest??
-Well it's a community event so first and foremost it is meant to be fun!
-The First Place Winner will receive $25 store credit for Save Point...a new gaming company based in North Carolina. You will have $25 to use for whatever game you wish.
-The First, Second, and Third Place winners will receive a FREE copy of the Special Edition of Eden Gate, a home-brew RPG being developed by Lotus Games. The Special Edition is reserved for generous donors to LotuSoftware however the top three will get the game regardless. Eden Gate is currently in development and is due for release by the end of this year.

Hey thanks so much Castor, I appreciate the like brother! I can see why it would be a challenge with 250 maps but that also sounds like you've done a ton of work already. Forward me a link to your game...I'll see about spotlighting it in the blog and fb page if your interested.

Also I am thinking about setting up an event here in RMN and Youtube as well for those that post video responses to my Part 4 video and partake in the community event I have already outlined. The prize would be a $20 giftcard for Gamestop and the winner would be whichever video response gets the most views...comments...ratings will all be factored in. I will talk to Kentona about this...would you guys be interested in something like this?

Hey RMN so I've been making tutorial videos on youtube for the past few weeks now for anyone interested in making their own video games. This is for people that don't know how to get started and I try to do my best to make it interesting and fun. Now these are the first video tutorials that I have ever done so I'm finding out that I am getting better with time but at the same time I hope you give me a chance =]

I just uploaded my "Part 4: Working with Panoramas" video today and I feel I have created enough videos at this point where people can actually create there own maps from having watched my videos thus far. SO...it's time for a community event!

"Community Note! Create your own map...2d or 3d...any engine you want; this is for newbies, professionals, those who have kept up with my tutorials and want to apply that information to your own map...and post a video response to this video showing off your skills as a mapper. You can use RTP, your custom graphics, or the graphics found in my blog:http://lotusoftware.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Talk about your creative process and your vision for your map...w/e you want. Collaborate and join in on the fun!"

P.S. To the mods, I wasn't sure whether to put this topic in the creative corner or General D&D if it goes in the later could you please transfer it there? Sorry about that and thanks in advance.

@Tau: He swam! Lol why is a river something we consider impassable? But I'm enjoying your screens CT, only the tan color of the ground turns me off but that might just be me =]
