Custom Content Challenge Thread

TarotRedhand

Running since August 2010 to the present day (with the exception of a hiatus from March 2019 to November 2020) the Custom Content Challenge (or ccc from here on in) is a mechanism for generating new custom content on a regular basis. During each month creators are encouraged to create new material that conforms to a theme that was chosen (by a poll) held throughout the previous month. One thing to note is that it is not a contest. Also submissions do not have to be new models/artwork. For the ccc there is a wider range of the type of things that can be submitted. As long as what is submitted is applicable to the theme, then scripts, sounds, prefabs, etc. are acceptable. Over the years a number of different people have administered this and I currently fill this role as well as continuing to maintain and update a catalogue of all the completed and posted challenges.

For anyone who finds this interesting, here are some links. Please not you will need to be logged in to vote in the poll and may need to be logged in on the vault to view the various threads pointed to (not sure on this). With the catalogue on the other hand, you should be able to download it without being logged in.

I recently finished a custom module and uploaded it to these forums, it may not be "dark fantasy" but you at least start at level 1 and can grow all the way to level 40 in it

if you think it is interesting enough the thread is here for it;

@sarevok57 While the offer is appreciated, I think you may have missed what the Custom Content Challenge is about. It is for the creation of new builder resources. So new - creatures, tilesets, placeables, scripts, prefabs, sounds, music, etc. Or to put it another way anything (except copywrited material) that can be included in a module but not a whole module (except demo modules to illustrate what is being submitted). Obviously whatever is submitted must actually work in game too.

Hope that clears it up.

8 days to go. If you haven't voted yet for the March challenge, please do so. Also if you feel like you could contribute to this month's challenge there is still time to do so.

Please vote for April's challenge as you can make a real difference because it is becoming too close to call between 2 themes. You still have time to do so as there is a little over a week to the poll closing.

Thanks.
