Mapmaking Halloween Contest

[Prpl_Mage]

So it is contest time again fellow charasians!

The deadline for this contest is October 31 and it is a mapmaking contest with a spooky, dark, gothic, halloween theme. Anything that looks remotely fitting passes really.


So what do you do?

You create a map between 20x15 to 30x23 in tilesize in any desired maker. The theme is dark as mentioned above but I will not dictate "make a dungeon" or "make a city", that's up to you. I will not force you to use a certain chip/tileset either but I will give some limitations here.

Rules:
You may use 1 chipset, 1 charset (besides the hero sprite if you want one) and 1 picture in total.
You will submit the map as a screenshot of the map in the editor and as a screenshot ingame
You must submit it on time
You must spend some sort of effort on it
You may edit chipsets, charsets and pictures to your liking


So no layer upon layer of pictures or 2 charsets of water animations or whatever.

No need to sign up, just spend as much time and effort as you like. PM your entry and I'll post all submissions on November 1st.

Cool, I'll try to get something done. Can the screenshot be an animated gif or is it just png?

GIFs would be cool, but I don't expect everyone knowing how to do that. But post both, one still and one animated.

Also some us can never find good GIF making programs....

But other than that it sounds fun! I might try my hand at it. Do the chipsets have to be custom made by us or can we use just any old one?

You may use any you like.

Are there prizes to be won? Even if not I'll do it for fun

LICECAP is a very good GIF making program, and very simple to use
Right, now to find suitable resources

Does a panorama count as Chipset or Image, or not allowed?

Oh right... Uh, the prize is that I make you a sprite?

Well, if you import a picture as a panorama and uses it instead of a chipset then I guess it's cheating. If you only use it for a background it should be okay

[Momeka]

I usually use GIFcam to make my gifs.

Anyway, I've finished my entry, should I pm it to you prp or post it here?

[Prpl_Mage]

PM it to me and I'll post it when the deadline is met.

[Prpl_Mage]

Okay, 5 days remaining. Come on guys
