Target Hunt Tracks Wanted: Top 2 Get 1600M$ points | Forums

[Ender_IXI]

Sup Trials Track Makers,

Im putting up 2 1600 M$ points cards up for grabs to the two track designers who can build me the best Target Hunt tracks.

Both cards come from my winnings in previous contests: one from Murdoc Loch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_GfaWz8k_k and one from Skumbag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Rc0K_Lwo8

JayEmB has agreed to help me with the judging. If we need a third judge i'll get somebody but ultimately im the decider.

What i'm looking for:

I'm looking for an combo of obstacle course, jungle gym, aerial assault, suicide mission in a contained area. I'm not looking for a linear track that you slap some targets on(although that might work, i'd hav to see it). Think Ninja Warrior on G4. I want to fly and aim and land and do it again and again.

Some things to consider:

I love flippers, they help me fly and flip and i love using them.

By default you only get two minutes for Target Hunt, so be sure to take that into consideration.

There's a little physics hold up when you hit a target so again take that into consideration.

I'd say a minimum of 60 targets. I'd recommend having 100+ with strategically placed "honey pots" around the course.

The decoration isn't as important as the line. If it's between a amazing looking track that isn't that fun to do or a less good looking track that's got an amazing replay value im going with the latter. Don't completely discount the aesthetics tho.

If you need some inspiration i humbly suggest checking out the above Skumbag vid, both mine and Jay's Target Hunt replays(1st/2nd respectively), and my Infernal Pinball replay at #65ish.


I'll take submissions till June 6th. Results by June 10th. Winners can have the code if they like but i recommend letting me mail them to you because physical evidence makes the win sweeter and i'm a wiz at packaging.


This is also important: Take note if you live outside US. I hav two cards and those are what i'm offering. I'm not offering to buy M$ points in international denominations. I'll gladly ship them to Somalia if you live there but if they don't redeem for you sorry.

If i only get two tracks submitted those guys get the cards.

Good luck Track Makers

Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean here?
I'm not quite sure what you mean by these things (so I probably look a bit stupid for asking).
I have never even attempted creating a skill game so this intrigues me quite a bit but I just want to be certain what it is you are looking for.
Thanks

All the things to consider and no freedom makes Dosto a dull boy. :l ..thinking he is being lectured by a teacher.. thinking there's no room for creativity.. making him quit even before getting started.. hoping for some room to be different..
Makes him so dull.. :l poor dosto

Maybe he tries anyways. Even though he hates all those flippers and targets and stuff.. Who knows, maybe he'll even have fun trying.

Not a problem....As i said what i don't want is a race track with targets added. If you take a look at the 2 Target Hunt games in Trials you'll see they're both in enclosed areas divided into sections. One has to figure out the best way to maximize targets but not hanging out there all day. I like the way in the dlc target hunt that almost all of it is connected so that there's more than one way to get to a given section. In all the replays i suggested notice how much time I spend in the air, in all but the orig TH i'm pretty much flying place to place. I like to think of it as Controlled Chaos.

Honestly, just watch the last track in the skumbag vid in the first post, when i say obstacle course, jungle gym, aerial assault..." that track comes to mind. Jay and i both agree that it's gonna be hard to top SkumCity, but certainly not impossible.

Sorry buddy. You know i taught english to the dumb kids at a community college for a semester so maybe that's why.

If you want to do something outside the box or avant garde be my guest. They weren't meant to be rules, just guidelines as to what i'm looking for. Murdoc has several interesting tracks that are target hunt but nothing like the leader board tracks....but thats not what i'm looking for.

U don't have to use flippers per se, but i'd like something to throw me in the air to the next section of targets.

It's a challenge don't get me wrong. I've tried to make a target hunt track and failed miserably.

hmmm... Sounds like a fun project! I'll see what i can do with it!

[BlueMageFTW]

I gave your post some unofficial love on the official RedLynx Twitter & Facebook.

Let's see some good entries!

I really want to get in on this - I'll do my best to come up with something before June.
