Campaign Creations Campaign Contest Comes to a Close

Post by Lavarinth »

There has been a very long overdue congratulation in order. As the Campaign Creations Campaign Contest ended, many who dared to attempt the stressful task of creating a unique campaign failed. The unexpected toll, however, was so great it left only three entrees in the finals. It was a great run for most, but they simply could not compete with a deadline, as most creators have never had to face. One project out of these three, however, stood above them all. While all campaign creators are not exactly perfectionists, we aim solely to release our creative vision, this project aims closest to being a true campaign with its creator's vision clearly defined.

Putting an end to a long contest, and even longest and often delayed judging, our sole victor of three final entrees is granted to none other than Jim_Raynor, a young individual with a heart of expression.

Congratulations Jim, expect a personal contact soon, and may your creative mind ever expand. A fair apology for the delays in announcing a winner, it has been a hectic year, to say the least.

A description of Jim_Raynor's campaign, Resonance is described as follows:
Resonance tells the tale of Lieutenant Kevan Storm of the Koprulu Liberation Front. Sent on a covert ops mission with his squad to the frozen Dominion wasteland of Floe, his primary objective is to scout the area and assess whether or not it would be profitable to destroy the Dominion encampment there. A surprise assault from the Zerg appears, and his ship crash lands, killing his men... and forcing him to work with the Dominion forces of Floe.

As the events of Resonance unfold, Storm will begin to find his true allegiance... as well as become part of a much larger plot that begins to unfold around him.


A strong suggestion check out Jim_Raynor's campaign by clicking here, and make sure to let him know your thoughts on it!

Wow, this is awesome! Thanks for hosting this, Lav. It was really fun getting all of Resonance made, even with the rushing in the last few weeks. Good job on finishing too, Mark, and good effort there at the end Thal!

Will I be recieving a review for my entry as well? The prizes are great, but I'd love some constructive criticism to help me improve, too.

What? No reviews? I only wanted to know why I lost to Jim... >_>

Also, one question, besides the judge honestly have anyone here actually PLAYED my campaign?

I started it, but it's pretty long and I don't have a lot of time. I will get around to it eventually, though!

It's something I plan to do, unfortunately this year has held a lot of negative events for me which has caused my time to be extremely limited for a long, long time this year, note the delays in announcing a winner. Thankfully, after all the downfalls I feel pretty good about "life" now, so I'm looking to get many things back on track.

I love the dialogue. It's hilarious. Mesk breaking his penis on the supply depot in the first map was great.
Were any of the maps confusing to you? I was afraid some of the maps/objectives wouldn't be entirely obvious at first glance...

The first map's twenty minute walk through completely undoodaded terrain was pretty confusing. And boring.

Who said that part was supposed to be fun? The trek to find additional hentai was supposed to be enduring and painful... :P

Seriously tho... the campaign have a rather slow pace to it, I intended for only the more patient people to harvests most of it's contents... This is why that part was rather bland, to immediately show them the intended direction/tone and prose of the campaign, if they are not "in tuned" in that part, might they never play it in the first place...

It was a bit confusing, but I'll admit I didn't put as much time into understanding it as I would have liked. When I get there in my playthroughs I'll give it the play (and mini-review!) that it should have.
