Jack, that was rather short, but I like what you've got so far. The only few things i noticed are, messages disappear a bit too quickly, zealot gets stuck if you move it up a hill near the end of your map (had to wait for a marine to patrol up my ass before i could move), and if you go up the ledge (right side) on the 2nd screen your zealot moves to a diff area but the screen doesnt follow.

And then, at the end of the month people will ask for another extension and so... In the end people just don't care about the deadline.
Idk, personally I don't work a lot (only small pieces) on my map until the deadline is near. I guess most people do it this way too, as there is no activity on the topic (barely 1 or 2 posts in the week) and everyone came at the last day.

The only thing I would suggest you is to decide yourself what you want. One month contest? Two month? A year?, because we all can have great maps or small good maps, but you put the limit. Not us, because we can drop and retake the map whenever we want and that isn't supposed to affect the rest.

In my case I made a huge insane map that is hard to trigger as fuck and that's why isn't finished, but I would be annoyed if I would made a small map (for 1 month or less) and then it gets extended to 2 or more months.

If you want to see more complete maps ,then put another contest that allows maps from up to 2 months ago , until october (that would be 5 months).
Cancel the prize of this contest and move it there (if you are worrying about it).

just sayin

Leeroy, the zealot getting stuck is a known bug, I'll fix it sometime. Something must have been blocking you going up the ramp because it works fine for me; perhaps a civ or ling on the other side was trying to get through? Messages disappearing too quickly I can fix when I revamp the conversation system.

Disregard the one I pm'ed you. I'll be updating this one instead:
Download.

Have fun.

Leeroy where is your map??

I don't have one ready I was hoping for an extension

OK everyone due to the perpetual extension problem, and seeing the potential to further expand on all these great RPGs, I have decided to extend this contest until the end of the year. I have also changed some key rules.
