probably due to the fact that there General Forum trolls for the most part. As Adam and a few of the other mods have said before they are planning/working on new contests for PC. IIRC they stated this well before the huge success of the Polycount Pack TF2 contest. Now that was a well run contest that didn't run into any…
Valve also doesn't set itself up as a martyr figure for dealing with the contest. Their motivations are plainly transparent: more content and attention for their game. Nothing sketchy about that. I think most people prefer their contest organizers not make an argumentum ad lazarum over and over.
Ugh, I am so confused here. So many questions. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17188/domwhat.jpg First line says the main challenge starts on February 28th. Then the very next line says the main challenge is delayed 'because of a misunderstanding between PC & GA'. 1 - What's being said here? Is the contest on or is it delayed? 2 -…
It's not the torrent debate. All the art created for the contest is free for all to download by CHOICE of the artist. But it's not SOLD for the profit without the artists consent. But is there a difference to you between asking for something, and stealing something? If there is no difference to you, then this discussion is…
hey Fredh, Glad DW is happening. On the soft deadline thing. Judging by the initial reaction, no one likes the idea of the soft deadline, why not get rid of it? DW is a contest for the art community. The community wants a strict deadline instead of a soft one. Why not listen to the community?
I would imagine that if we didn't have a veteran history with Dominance War/GA like we do our post would have been the same as CGHUB and CGSociety. It was subjective, but at the time it was felt it needed to be said. Moving on, a lot of people are happy to see theres a challenge/contest happening and thats what matters now.
How does this sound JonathanF. If you don't want to do the contest, then don't do it. No one has a gun to your head. Adam has already stated that they are working on a Polycount contest which I assume will not run head to head against the DomWar. Imagine, if you so desired you may even be able to do both. Dare I dream? And…
It reminds me when Vanguard: Saga of Heroes made a contest and people from the different gaming sites would make fanart and the winner would get their piece in the game. All the gaming sites had their own little voting and then the winner of that went into the Vanguard voting, reducing lot of peoples work into a selected…
