Software developer eSim Games, LLC and the official fan site of its premier product, Steelbeasts.com, will be awarding several prizes for the best single player/co-op missions. Submissions will be accepted up until June 1, 2008. Submissions will then be evaluated by judges for the next month. The winners will be announced on July 1, 2008. Judges will be available online on teamspeak on Wednesday nights at 9pm – 10pm CST (GMT-6) to answer questions on scenario design.
The following categories will be rated from 1 to 10 for each scenario.
1) Scoring
2) Briefing
3) Play Balance
4) Fun Factor
5) Replayability
6) Originality
Once the scenarios have been evaluated, each judges scores will be averaged to create a overall score for each scenario, and a score for each category. Prizes will then be awarded for the top 3 overall scenarios, and the top point earner in each of the six categories. All submissions may be included in future releases of Steel Beasts.
Submissions must meet these minimum requirements in order to be evaluated:
1) The submission must be new – you cannot submit an existing scenario.
2) The submission must be your original work. Participants cannot modify other people’s work and submit it as their own.
3) A working score.
4) A briefing that covers the basics (in English). (Machine translation is ok)
5) Routes and waypoints for the red side.
6) One submission will be accepted per person.
7) Judges and eSim Games staff cannot participate in the contest. (BETA testers CAN participate.)
8) The name of the scenario designer must appear at the bottom of the briefing.
9) Teams may submit a scenario but only one prize will be awarded. Members of a team may not submit additional scenarios seperately.
