sounds interesting


my proposal
will soon be launching, the pack "big thrills".
In redlinxtv-episode 7 have seen a preview of the tracks, see the following image:


My idea is to build a track, to imagine the full track: a track flashforward.
Example:

A simpler movie theme seems original and open to everyone.
Give it a few more days and maybe a couple more ideas and let's see if we can all agree on a fair contest to begin. Hopefully we will all have reach out of our systems too by then

I like forostm's idea. I think if someone takes stills of the big thrills vid and makes a track like that, or even recreates a single scene that would be great.

Hey peeps,

I think a halloween/horror themed track would be great, someone else noted this earlier in the thread.
You could throw in some movie tie ins too( i could then finish spooky too ! ))
Maybe best atmosphere or use of cameras as this usually gets slated and people steer clear of them, they can be used to good effect

_________________

Soo many good ideas in this thread! A 1-Bit contest would be fun and the one-obstacle also sounds interesting. Agree with the fact that people get scared off when facing too difficult challenges regarding building something specific, but those two should be doable to most creators.. 3OL and 3x3 was BTW perfect in that sence.

Also, I wanna suggest the complete opposite of what I've just said. How a about out-of-the-box theme? Build something that is unique and advanced in it's function, structure and apperance. I'm thinking tracks like Storckens work, Micro-trials and so on. Obstacles like the ones he builds in mecanO or some of his older tracks ( If you've played his tracks you know what I mean )

It really puts your creativity and engineering skills to the test, but it's those tracks people really remember. Or at least the ones I remember.. Mabey it's something we should just leave to the ones that really knows how it's done, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Brain farts are my specialty

Hallowen´s themes track, sounds cool and movie track too.
My idea is a create a track like groundhog, 3 tracks in 1 map.

Here is an example:







I´m really interested in this competition, waiting anxious to see the final rules

A movie theme would be just avsome! I was going to do a series of
7 movie based tracks! But instead i made my Arena series!
But its an awsome idea, and i still thinking of do that movie series!

As was said earlier, you'll get the most participation if the idea is simple. How about 3 objects only (explosives and lights can only be used for their intended purpose, not for decoration). But we all have to use the same 3 objects. I like the idea of seeing what people will come up with when we all have the exact same tools.

There are a number movie-themed tracks in existence already. I know I'm in the minority here but personally, I'm not really interested in seeing another Indianna Jones, Star Wars, Pirates, Gladiator, Western or Saw track. People will continue to make those anyway. jmo

I like the Groundhog (3 in 1 idea also)--I was planning on making a track like that at some point anyway. Judging that may get a bit overwhelming though.

I didn't exactly read all the suggestions so Ill just throw mine out there, if some are doubled, just think of it as more supporters for it lol

Space theme (one track only)
No floor theme (grimm style if you will)
Micro track style (like microtrials from storcken)
New concepts/ideas, obstacles, physics
1-3 Objects ONLY no tools nothing else, everyone same objects

We should have a few polls to see which ideas are best.

Response is deffinatly there now I feel.
And so let's move forward. After all I think all comps need to be out the way before the dlc is released.
So I'm thinking a movie/ horror theme. With an amazing sick fatality.
That seems open to everyone and fair. As it can be as simple if difficult as your skill level allows.
Of course its not a comp of skill but of fun and wow factor.
Extremes in my view are not fun but testing.

Il text a few friends. Hopefully sort judges out and let's make it happen.
Hopefully we shall all get to play some really awesome tracs based on our favorite films and maybe even get a scare that makes us jump.

Il get back to you all soon.

Anyone want to add more or disagree with the movie/horror idea speak up

Also I believe we should agree on a size limit. Any thoughts

_________________

you really need to get over your not liking of extremes raist, they are by far the most fun in my opinion, its much more rewarding to 0 fault an extreme than hitting timesavers on a medium, ofcourse this is just my opinion.
A simple halloween track without the whole movie thing would be my vote.

double post time, size limit? if you mean object limit thats stupid as i could never finish a track without hitting the limit it would be a mortal sin to do so.

Ok, First off how's everyone doing? Good, I hope! Now I have been asked for contest ideas and I had a few suggestions and like a few things suggested already.

I think the idea of a Groundhog style track is great. It would require a lot of effort, but I think you need something that does, bc you're going to be offering a prize well worth a good amount of effort jmo.

1 Bit style is a good idea, I think that one could come out with some really good ideas and cool tracks. You can compare the ones already out there and see how different and original each one is.

This idea I was actually tossing around with Jarr, and I thought it could be fun to make a track that doesn't use your bike. I know it sounds kinda stupid, but hear me out with this one. There are two different ways I think this could be done...

#1 - Create a different type of vehicle around your bike, and differ from normal obstacles. I have seen tracks with you in a plane and you lean to fly and there are some obstacles to maneuver. Or a Monster Truck type of Inside the Ball (this could be a skill game or not) Like creating a box around the player and making a self propelled truck fly thru a bumpy, climby course without the rider crashing inside. There are a lot of ways to go with this one.

#2 - Create a track that has no vehicle whatsoever! Start the person off locked into the starting gate, and make them grab moving things, land on platforms that launch, things like that. Getting from start to finish using just the rider and the track. This one could prove to be more difficult, but I think if you could control the left/right movement of the rider (maybe with wind cushions on the outside of path for parts where your flying thru the air) Of course you would need an alternate ending to smash thru, but if done right, this could be a lot of fun.

Sorry I'm so late with the ideas, but I just found out about this thread! Hope my ideas are useful!

I agree with boris on a simple halloween track, better not to be too complicated

A one of everything track! I always wanted more people to try that out when I first made mine, no one did
It would give me a good reason to make another Only rules I would think is no deco necessary, easier to spot if each object was used once. No floating objects.

I'm not sure I like the movie theme idea. If the judges had not seen the movie you based your track on, it wouldn't fare well. I also wouldn't like to be stuck to the popular titles that people would instantly recognize, because chances are someone else may be working on one, or may have already done one.

Whatever the competition, I think the keys to fun are accessibility and narrow focus. A time limit restriction would be a good general rule for all competitions to ensure tracks can be judged on equal grounds with regard to both decoration and ride line.

I'm partial to Rorschach's idea of everyone having to make due with the same assortment of pieces. It would be really interesting to see how many creative ways those bits would come together.

If it were a theme competition I would suggest a clearly defined, single theme and as many clearly defined, iron-clad framework parameters as you can think up to keep things on a level play-field. The amount of finagling that went on in Crows Beak's contest absolutely blew my mind... The 3-pieces rule seemed as cut-and-dried as you can get to me!

a mini track contest like heets 40 days rain and fusions bitesize.

-no checkpoints
-just a few obstacles
-hard/extreme

it would be accessible to everyone and easy to judge

Maybe scrap the movie idea and stick with a simple horror/halloween with the best sick/twisted fatality.
That seems quite popular and open to everyone. And if you can't help but make extremes Il do my best to look at them with an open mind.
So if there are no objections to this Il get some rules together and move forward

i like the idea alot, i had a haunted house track one time (picked it up 6months later and transformed it into the alchemist tho)

plus halloweens my born day, some shiny new tracks to play would be an alright gift

I was hoping the Halloween or movie idea would stick. I like the Halloween theme with a fatality at the end concept the more I think about it. I doubt I'll conjure up anything brilliant, but I would love to play everyone else's! Don't want to spoil the party, but if only new tracks are permitted, Shankly should get a consolation prize if this goes thru for his track "Spooky". That is the ultimate Halloween track IMO.

I think I might be the only person opposed to the horror theme contest idea. But thats only cause my last track was one and I don't feel like making another one. If by any chance it could be accepted as the first official entry then I'm all for it. Let's get this contest started.
