Probably not going to compete since HUB is losing and that interests me the most, might do it just to do it though. I think HUB is losing not because it sucks as a contest idea but because HUB as a word isn't as informative as the other choices.
"Side-scroller beat-em-up": I retro, Its easy to show up art from 20 years ago! or so I think...
"HUB": huh?
"Traditional Painting recreation": Sweet I don't have to do any design work!
I know at first I thought "Hub? What the hell is he talking about?" but then I read, which I imagine other people haven't done while voting... yea iADHD!
Vig brings up a good point, I was having a hard time visualizing a hub(even though I've done one before 0_o), in comparison to the others which were easy to grasp.
The more I think about it #1 sounds the most creative. I think what I liked so much about #3 was the idea of experimenting with a texturing style based off of a famous painter, not so much doing the exact replication of said paining.
#1 for me. With SFIV and the new MK als having 3d art in a 2d plane, this could be fun!
Those are fighting games, not beat-em-ups. Although there's not much difference in their backgrounds other than verticality. Keep that in mind if this wins.
Yeah but surely metal slug, r-type and the like fit into the genre? I can only see it bringing more variety to the entries if any side-scroller type is allowed.
That's awesome, I've been wanting to do a side-scroller type of environment in UDK for a while now, and this looks like the perfect opportunity to do so. Thanks guys.
So its Sidescroller for the win... ill check tomorrow morning for the final verdict Ive been waiting to start doing challenges on polycount this will be #1 for me
Definitely hope I can do a metal slug env. It's my favorite Arcade game (as my avatar might depict.) It's probably gonna be my first attempt at stylized work. (and a full project for that matter!)
i think you can do whatever setting you want as long as it fits the guidelines that still remain to be posted. copying a game is probably not the desired result of this challenge.

There should be a greentooth badge...why doesn't this exist yet? :P
One of those metal embossed types would be really cool.
You mean like this?
And late August is perfect.
Nah, more like this:

but with a black background and also aligned properly :P Sure they'd be expensive but they'd also be shit-hot.

After playing SC2 I've been itching to make a HUB in another setting, it's definitely a great contest idea.

Read the description
If #1 wins I'll do something double dragon and battle toads inspired.
I guess we know what the next challenge will be.
Probably wont make a polished level game play wise, though.
Well there's outdoor levels in a lot of side scrollers so shoe-horn it in there.
