I'm in, but I guarantee I won't win the first round. But my entry will give ideas for the second round.

I used to be in - until I remembered that I'm leaving for a two week vacation tomorrow. Next stage, perhaps? :P

Scripting as in scripted sequences? Well, heck, just having some scripted sequences should make any entry that much more awesome! I really can't wait to see what everyone else did!

@Campaignjunkie: sorry to hear that you won't be able to participate for this round. If it isn't in violation of any rules, may I ask what your idea was?

BTW, are there any others participating?

Can I help out with custom models if required, rather than mapping something?

And can I pimp the old snarkpit sawblade as a candidate for inclusion in the map?

Entry sent! Can't wait to see what everyone has done!

I ended up putting a crapload of time into my map; about 4 full weekend days - 40+ hours. I've dabbled in singleplayer HL2 stuff before, but forgot most of it. The bulk of my time was spent relearning how to create scripted sequences that work; man those things are finnicky! Once I figured out the quirks though, I was able to throw them together pretty quickly.

I packed as much as I could into the space of the base map; creating very little new space, but rather finding the challenge in milking what was there for everything I could. Hope everybody gives it a playthrough!

btw... i just posted mine in the maps section since I plan on developing it further, regardless of the comp. I'll get some screenshots up there soon.

Sent mine in as well. I actually ventured off far from the base map, but I think the game flow is all in-sync, it flows pretty well I think.

In stead of scripted sequences, I did all .vcd's. I find you have A LOT more control of the actors in those. I even had some friends lend their voices, and mine as well, can you guess which one?!?! I won't be able to play anybody's entry until June 12th (going on vacation) so, be sure to post pics!!

Good luck everyone!

Very axtious to see what you lads have cooked up <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> myself i'm terrible at scripted sequences so this will also be a nice learning experience since you both claim to have put some in there. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I've got maps from Riven, Stadric and Finger. Sent a PM to Redwood, hopefully he'll send his soon, or the voting will go on without it <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Good looking stuff gents <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
