Add a treasure chest, a skull, and a triforce for coolness, though...

[Aslion]

2 screens done!

Maybe we should get a bit more than 5 points for using 2.10 or less? 5 seems a little low for the featureless piece of crap. *shot*

[Moonbread]

I think 5 points is enough... I've found that there's plenty I can do without scripting nonsense... The CASTCHAOS way.

[Aslion]

I'm just in a bad mood because 2.10 doesn't have a 'Scroll to Combo' option.
I should get back to work. Also Nuvo, you forgot to add me to the list of entrants.

[Colin]

Sorry, Gray, I'll add you right now.

By the way, I'm in the contest too, just so everyone knows, but I can't win since I'm holding it.
And, I'm keeping the use of 2.10 the same as it is. I like your statement Moony, I'll put it in my sig.

OFF-TOPIC EDIT: Speaking of contests, whatever happened to the two-color tileset contest?

The same thing that is going to happen to this one.



On a side note, I have a nine screen overworld as an entrance to the dungeon (which sits in the middle of a volcaninc crater). Is that okay? I just wanted a small overworld to sort of start things up.

[Colin]

Nah. Use a mix of Z1, Z3 and GB dungeon tiles instead with "Three Week Dungeon Contest" on top instead.
OFF-TOPIC EDIT: Speaking of contests, whatever happened to the two-color tileset contest?

The 2 color tileset contest died out a long time ago... however, this one seems to have a lot more involvement in it, so I don't think this one will die. (or at least I hope it doesn't.)

Russ: That's fine, I just said no hulking huge thing before it. But if it's a nice lead into it, that's great.

[Evile]

I'm in, I'm probably gonna use PTUX and 2.5 with out many new features.

I'm in, I'm probably gonna use PTUX and 2.5 with out many new features.

Then you get a total of, I think 0 points for tileset and version number.

I am using the classic tileset, and possibly 2.10 features only, possibly 2.5 features. I can't decide yet. Is it worth loosing those points for something that could cause me to gain points? It's a tough choice.

[Colin]

Alright, Evile, I'm putting you in.

Russ: Hence, the name "risk points" it's up to you. And why the classic tileset? There are plenty of other tilesets out there that look more updated, and you can still get the same if not more points from them.

Just so everyone knows, here's what I'm doing...

Entry 1
2.10 (+10)
AI tiles with some additions (abstract +35)
All custom music (+5 or more)
1 overworld + (+20 or more)
Mix (+10)
Status 0%

Entry 2
2.10 (+10)
DoR (+5)
1 Overworld (+20)
Mix (+10)
Status 90%

Remember, I can't win, if I happen to. I will only take away votes.

You were the only one who entered =P

[CastChaos]

Wow, fastest growing thread ever! I so so feel like ground everybody with a wonderdungeon... If I enter, I will use 2.10 and the ALttP set. I'd use a completely custom set (based on ALttP or rather new DoR), but 3 weeks is short for that. But it's not sure that I enter. If I had more time, I SURE entered... However, if even a BS overworld sized dungeon is enough, then can be that I start something one week later...

So, this is a GREAT idea, Nuvo! You are really shining through ZC!

I'm using the classic set because I am familiar with it, and I am good at ripping graphics into it, and because I just really like the classic set. And I think I am going to be using 2.5, so minus five points for me. Now for a question: Do we get bonus points for adding storylines, plot twists, and other things like that?

Edit: How many points off is it for scripting? I came up with a wonderful idea that requires only about five lines of code. It's just minus 10, right?

I'm in. But I have no ZQuest for the rest of this week, so I'll have to really huff it at the end... anyway:
Tileset: Captain Magenta's Tileset (Has many Zelda-ripped tiles)
Version: 2.10.2
Size: I'll try for an entire overworld, but due to time, I may not get it.
Layout: Mix of 3/4 and sideview.
Music: Whatev.

[LostInHyru1e]

Nuvo- you're entering? O_o

Well, if I hadn't said it before, I"m officially in.

Version: 2.10
Tileset: Classic
Midis: I'll look into getting some high points for them.
Size: 1 Full Overworld
Status: 1%

Question: What if I decided to make my game 1 full overworld PLUS another BS Overworld? Would I still only get 1 overworld worth of points?
