Post by **ProfHawking** » March 21st, 2009, 17:21

Wooyay garrys mod. I cant remember where we left off, but lets call this one Compo #5.

Stairway to Gman
The evil G-Man has stolen Dog's ball and placed it precariously on top of a tower. Its up to you to build the most elaborate & imaginative way of getting the ball back to dog, on the roof below.

Think rolling it down runways, think catapults, huge hammers kicking it, cannons shooting it down. Either way it has to land by dog on top of that roof.

Deadline: 3 weeks.
Get your save games and or pics/videos uploaded & post results by 11th April.

You can also use XFire built-in video thing, just enable it and Scroll Lock + V.

For now I'm not going to help Dog, he can do it himself if he goes into rage mode.

Just in case he can't 'chopper it off that column, I'll build a contraption laterr this week.

Come on chaps is nobody but Baliame even gonna have a shot at it?

I am, but I'm a bit stuck.

Post by **Grimmie** » April 4th, 2009, 12:34

I tried, and failed.

It's something I can't really invent any contraptions for. A twisted vehicle competition would shirley be more popular.

I'll leave this here. Technically unfinished, but that doesn't really matter now.

WINNAR!

ZOMG i missed that lot!

WINNAR INDEED! thats exactly the sort of thing meant to happen

Apart from stoat tho, Support for this compo has been less than 5punkytastic.

Perhaps a best to open to the floor as to what should go next, if at all?

Something you need less jedi powers to build for. I mean you really had extremely high standards if even Grimmie failed.

I'm not very good with the mod and enjoyed making the videos more than the creations and confess I was put off trying when Baliame and Grimmie said it was too hard.

Maybe:
- a more ambiguous goal - that could be interepreted as making a video, a screenshot of amusingly-posed characters or even a little comic like Concerned/Consequences
- a level with lots of people or clever things already in it that we have to use to make a scene or story, perhaps depicting a famous painting, album cover or movie scene
- is the portal stuff in GM? That'd be fun to play with seen through the camera
- if not, maybe a Portal-inspired puzzle like crossing a chasm - ludicrously easy with a portal gun, but a collection of humourous fails without

Hahaha, I'm rubbish at building stuff. I can make cars, but that's about it.
I think I tried to blow it all up with an elaborate contraption, which failed to work.
