Yah, if you join St. Lazarius, the Clocktower and Hazelshade you'll get a lot of errors with the Dark Engine, not a playable game. :cheeky:
that... or go insane trying.
bwahahahaha.
(goes insane)

I LOVED ST. LAZARIUS!!! SOOO COOOL!!!!!!

Plus I found a window I could jump through, so I got to frolic in the garden too.

All of the entries are nice; I would have liked to play them more and compare, but I'll be away from the internet for the next few days so I had to vote now.
So I decided to vote for The Clocktower...
<font size=-2>Should I really have voted for the competition?</font>

I had to register in order to vote (yes I´m new) :) All these missions are brilliant!! It was really hard to pick one, because I really loved them all...
Hazelshade Cemetery = this one gets my vote. My jaw just dropped at first sight... really would like to play missions with these effects :thumb: That marble floor!!
St. Lazarius = awesome :eek: beautiful, I loved the art in it, and the effect with the lighting.
Requiem for a Thief = very nice and interesting story :cheeky: Loved the music, and the outside background (when you look through the large windows).
The Clocktower = also brilliant!! All those little details, and when the lightning strikes, that window on the top floor lights up in blue-ish :eek: nice!
Ride the Butterfly = well this one was very strange :p I liked the butterfly, and the day-effect. Stunning colours too :eek:
Surrounded by Metal Age = I liked this one; you get a sort of comforting feeling being in that garden, when all around you you can smell the Metal Age :) very nice little lake!
A Nice Stroll = also a nice mission, I liked those almost-broken bridges.
I'd love to vote for them all, they are all just stunningly beautiful...

While I was very pleased and flattered to see my work used in the entries (3 out of 7 isn't bad going!), I want to say that my permission was neither sought nor given to use the sky background in
Requiem for a Thief - and had I been asked I probably would have said no.
I was not very pleased at all by this, especially since the <a href="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=77567&page=3">stated reason</a> why this artwork has not been released for public use yet (even though I have done skybox versions of it) is because I wished to release it in one of my own missions first. I expect an apology from the author.
Now then.
Cemetary's low-lying fog blew the pants off me, and I expect to see something like it crop up in every 3rd mission released from now on ;) My only regret is that it wasn't done in the original game, because I can foresee it getting overused as a gimmick rather than understated as the atmospheric flourish it could be.
But
Clocktower definitely did it for me, and as has been stated by other posters it looks and feels like a really well-done mission space rather than a beauty-contest entry. I'd love to see an entire mission executed with this level of detail.
Not to be snide, but
St. Lazarius made me and my wife laugh. I think I'll leave it at that.
Edit: Ok, I came off sounding pretty harsh about
Requiem. I liked the mission itself and was very impressed with how the sunlight was pulled off - while I think it could have done with more contrast, it shows that sunset lighting can be a really effective technique, and one I hope to see used in more missions. The different eulogies were a very nice touch with good voice-acting. This one would be number 3 for me.

At least it has style.

Laughter is nice too.
5 minutes of laughter can substitute for a glass of milk.

From the sucess of this contest (I just think that it lacked a bit of advertisement) I think I may organize another one... Of course the second one would be better as believe it or not this is the first contest I organized! :cheeky:
I'm very glad it pulled out well.
ATTENTION
Tomorrow the voting will close, so we can know the winners and we can also say out loud the author names. :ebil:
