Kayleigh_Winter2011 [DROPPED OUT]

[Kayleigh]

Hey All!

I'd like to participate with this challenge too as I really like the way it has been split into two parts to help me focus on the core gameplay and mechanics of the map at a separate time to the gameplay. I'll try my best but if I can't make the mid month deadline then I guess I'm out that said I will try my best to get my entry completed.

I can't really think which photo would be best to use as a reference. I want to continue to use UT3 or UDK (some iteration of the Unreal Engine 3 anyway) and I really would like to create a rural, winter themed level as this will make a nice change to my other projects which are urban themed, but I'm wondering whether this will be a difficult task within the time frame to produce in Unreal.

Ah well, I'll have a think on both images and see what I come up with.

Good luck everyone!

I think anyone using Unreal is going to be at a disadvantage with this one unless they can model a lot of custom content in time. Both images are really a lot more suited to a source game.

Well that's disappointing. Oh well, I guess I'll try and get something done as I haven't touched Source in years.

Always worth a try but I think it would be a tough trying to do it with the default meshs.

After having a think I've decided to bow out of this contest

The time scale would be too short for me to accomplish anything of a good standard and the fact that I'm sort of putting myself at a disadvantage even before I begin is not appealing.

I'll probably take this challenge on in my own time in the future as it would be a good test of my skills but at the moment I have another project that I could (and probably should) focus on more so maybe next time.

Good luck to everyone that enters, I'll still vote when the time comes!

Sorry to hear you're dropping out Kay,

The time frame is short but it should give you ample time to create something. As long as you create something you're happy with the 'contest' doesn't really matter. Heck, I'm sure you could even take this idea and spend a while longer on it, showing off how you did in the Work In Progress section instead.

Good luck, however, in any future projects you take on!
