[EXTREME MODDERS ONLY] T I T A N F E S T - 2024
« on: September 05, 2024, 02:58:40 am »

My fellow dwarves, men-folk, goblins, elves, kobolds, and subterranean animal peoples, for the purpose of exceeding your maximum potential for enjoying stuff on the internet, and making the big dudes fight each other:





We are proud to present for this year only! (I think?)

T I T A N    F E S T
The mountain crest pinnacle of Ultimate Dwarf Fortress-ian combat

A no holds barred, nightmare-fueled carnival ride of ULTIMATE VIOLENCE & mad modded mayhem.
The strongest monsters. No restrictions, no balance, no rules.

This October we answer the singular most important question of all time:

Who

Is

The

Strongest?!


This October, we will find out!

Guidelines For entry:
Submit one modded creature as your selected combatant, along with as many other surplus raw files as you wish.
Either post raws in thread openly, or send as a PM to me.
You may specify which initial hostility level you would like for your creature to be spawned into as. - AI manipulation strategies are openly encouraged.
Entrants may include an arena of their own design to be used during matches, - before each match, a coin will be flipped to determine which arena to be used.
-- If no arena is attached to an entrant's submission, a default arena will be selected.
Entrants may also start the match with a syndrome class of their choosing applied.

Since the tournament will be run in premium, if you do not wish to include sprite artwork for your creation, basic-ish placeholder sprite artwork will be produced for your creature upon request.


The deadline for entry into TITAN FEST will be October 5th. And the tournament itself will start on October 6th and run for a week.
Would be entrants are encouraged to reserve their spot in the tournament early. Even prior to submission of a custom titan.
If you will require sprite artwork for your creature, please make your requests as soon as possible!


Tournament Structure:
1. The tournament shall be non-eliminating 3 round matches of swiss - based on the number of submitted monster entries.
-- Coin flips determine who gets spawned first during the first round of each match; spawn order alternates for the 2nd, and potential 3rd round.
2. There shall be a single elimination top 8 following the conclusion of matches.
3. The winner shall be the last creature standing at the end of top 8.
4. Every participant shall be permitted to award a number of flavor points based of the number of entrants that participate.
5. At the end of the event, the modder's monster with the highest number of flavor points awarded to them shall also be announced.
6. Creatures will start -x 7 tiles away from each other at the start of every match.

Note: All RAWs will be released and made available at the start of the event.




Edit: FUCK IT - Winner scores a flavor appropriate trophy. It shall be engraved with their bay12 forum user handle, in addition to their bad-ass new title moniker of "The Lord of Blood"

    Seems like a safe bet. I'll bet 10 dwarven souls on xzaxza.

    Shall I mark you down for entry?

    Sure. I have just the thing in mind for the job, just need to test and tweak it a little bit.

    I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

    Just a reminder that Titan Fest is coming up. Be sure to get your submissions into me this week, if you have not done so already.

    As a heads up: At present, we don't have quite enough people for hosting rounds of swiss, with a subsequent single elimination top 8.
    So unless I suddenly get a flood of new submissions on the exactly the 5th, we will most likely go with a round robin structured tournament instead. Where everyone will match up against everyone.

    The winner will be declared based on Win-Tie-Loss at the end. In the very strange event there is a tie for first place at the end of the tournament, since this is round robin and tie breakers aren't a thing (since everyone's breakers are exactly the same). And we'll do an explosive single round of sudden death for the title between the top contestants.

    This sounds cool. I am entering.

    Also, if there's anyone who wants some graphics for their creature, I would like to draw something. Here's an example that I did for a mod a while back:

    Any chance you'd be willing to do some sprite artwork for xzaxza's creature? They PM'd me with a submission, but it still needs artwork.
