Heart  MAKING A CUSTOM STORY? READ ME - FROM FRICTIONAL

edit--
The competition has started: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/ann...ent-5.html
--edit

Hey!

If you are making a custom story, make sure to add it to moddb.com it is a huge site for modifications and addons made for games. They have 2 million or so visitors every month and they will let you make full pages presenting your work. So you can include screens, videos and what not.

You will get A LOT more people playing your work if you add it:
http://www.moddb.com/mods/add

To the point. We then noticed that many stories are not on the site. So please add your stories to their site so that people can play, discuss and rate the stories. In two weeks time or so (will post a final deadline later) we would like to run a little competition (with modest, but exclusive prizes) for best custom stories.

On man, White Night would win any category. Just look at that thing.

Also, Jens speaks the truth, La Caza's had over 1,500 downloads, pretty happy about that seeing as La Caza's been my first ever mod/project.

I think we will aim for a deadline 2-3 weeks from now, so you have time to work on custom stories. We might do more later on if there is an interest!

Amnesia is 8 hours of gameplay; at least it was for me....that sounds like one heck of a story haha.

EDIT: Me says: "I actually hate the comunity owners but whatever." - I mean Mod db ones.
I actually hate the comunity owners but whatever.

To develop a serious custom story you certainly need more than 2 weeks btw. Just for modelling I need that time so I can create some serious sh*t.

But good initiative anyways.

Today I dreamt the life I could live forever. You only know that when you feel it for you know not what you like until you've experienced it.

This is not for stories starting from scratch, it's for those that already exists and if the makers want they have 2 or so weeks to polish them.
