Title: BG Blitz - Something Happened Here (30th AUG - 14th SEPT)
Post by: Creed Malay on Tue 30/08/2011 18:38:34
SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE

You enter the room, and look around. There's hints, clues, scratched surfaces, furniture in disarray... *something* happened here.

The BG should contain clues and hints to an even that has occurred before the player arrived there - this could be a fight, a murder, or anything.

BG's should be AGS compatible, no other restrictions.

Kind of the same idea as Gameboy had:

The three bears had an uninvited guest.

Awesome entries guys! Aaand I guess it's voting time!

Here is the categories(copy and pasted from a previous comp):

Idea: Is it an original/creative interpretation of the theme?
Atmosphere: Is an interesting world created? - Does the scene evoke a feeling?
Design:  How well are the individual elements designed, from clouds to doorknobs?
Composition:  How well do the elements combine to create a pleasing whole, and lead the viewer to the points of interest?
Functionality: How well would it work as a background? Does it have clearly defined entries and walkable areas, as well as a good viewing angle? This also includes introductory shots of an area as long as a player character can be present in the scene.
Technique:How well is it rendered, within the chosen style? (in no way meaning the more elaborate, the better!)

Idea - gameboy - simple and fun
Atmosphere - zyndikate - absolutely splendid [ruined] idyllic pastoral mood
Design - zyndikate - wonderful cartoony design, as always
Composition - zyndikate - well, yeah
Functionality - gameboy - lots of things to look at, lots of funny comments to be had.
Technique - zyndikate - obviously

Adrian's entry is a bit of a mess in it's current state, but it's a good kind of mess, with lots of potential and a nice composition, so good luck in the future!

I'm starting to think that Creed have forgot about this, judging from his last forum visit.

Anyone who know/can contact him?

Since there were no new votes for almost 2 weeks, and it's pretty obvious who the winner is - I think it will be safe to simply move on and start a new blitz. I'm sure no one will mind, right? Congrats on a great entry and a well deserved victory, zyndikate :)

Ok, I suppose it's better to just start a new one.
So thanks guys! I will have another BG blitz up and running.

I'll just leave this thread open for the time being so Creed could read it when he returns.

Talking about impossible, zyndikate becomes GRAND SLAM WINNER for winning three interlaced Background Blitz Contests in a row twice in a row (no, that's not a typo)! Congratulations zyndikate! :D

Maybe we need to set a rule so that zyndikate cannot participate in a the BBC after next whenever he wins one. :=
