IDEA: Make a monster or monster group for Episode 5.

LOCATION: Monster should be balanced for either the fortress in the Sky Peaks area or for the Forest area after.

Judging will cover the following areas.
1. Graphic (Does it look good? It doesn't have to be custom.)

2. Balance (Does it provide an adequate challenge for average hero characters?)

3. Sound (How fitting is the attack sound? You can use new wav files if you want, but nothing over 50k please.)

4. Name (Please don't enter any silly names that won't fit the mood of the Episode)

5. Bribe Amount (Just kidding.)

6. Suggested CTP and AR (though I may change it)

PRIZE
Winner/s will receive a credit in the game and be elevated to the rank of Hilyn on the message board(wow).

*note - Plyn is the highest rank achievable by posting right now.

SUBMITTING
The easiest way to go about this is probably to make your additions directly to the Episode Way 5 database.

1. You will make additions to 4 of the tabs. Skills, Monster, Monster Party, and Battle Animation. Increase the Max Field Number where necessary.

2. In the monster party tab there are 4 archetypes located at 0008-0011. Notice the amount of monsters range from 1-4. You will need to copy one of these archtypes and paste it to a new field number, such as 0085. The archetype you select depends on how many monsters you plan to use.

0008 - 1 monster
0009 - 2 monsters,
0010 - 3 monsters
0010 - 4 monsters

*This step is needed so that certain special attacks work correctly among the characters like Rhue, Scatha, etc.

3. Delete the Female Krav/s(it's just a place holder) and add your monster/s in.

5. After you have finished testing your monster/monster party, make note of where you have made your additions in a text document.

---EXAMPLE---

SKILLS

0022: Verbalizer
0023: Super Kill Skill

MONSTERS
0090: Peacock of Doom (Example of a name that would be changed)
0091: Carpal Tunnel Pal (Another inventive but bad name.)

MONSTER PARTY
0093: 2 P's of Doom
0094: 1 PoD and 1 CTP

BATTLE ANIMATION
0253: Peacock Peck
0254: Wrist Strain

---------------

6. Send the following files as attachments to contest@crestfallen.us.

A. Sound FX files(if any)
B. Text document denoting field numbers of additions.
C RPG_RT.lbd file from the edited Episode 5 directory.

Zipping the files is optional.

Contest will run for two weeks or more depending on number of entries.
If you plan to enter please post in this topic stating your intentions. Other comments and suggestions are also welcome.

Why raise ranks? I mean, ranks based on posting and post counts, which I'm pretty sure you can edit out on this kind of board, just lead to people spamming a desperate belief that a higher rank will mean they're more popular. I'm not saying change the whole board, I'm just questioning the prize.

Still, I do like the idea. I take it this also means you'll be doing a second release of episode 5?

Well ranks aren't going to be based on posting. They'll be based on winning and participating in contests mostly.

Wanderer is the first rank.
You become a Plyn after 25 posts.
After that there's nothing to be gained through more posting.

Glad you like the idea. Yes, there will be another release of Episode 5 with better monsters hopefully. I may add some other extras as well. We can call it the Episode 5 improvement project.
