Another Nimin Contest? For Artists?
14 years ago
General
I do some trading on Steam every now and then for a little enjoyment (and to occasionally get some things I'd like to play :P), and I wound up with an extra copy of FEAR 3 and Plants vs Zombies. I looked at them and thought "Gee, I don't really have time to play Fear 3 and I already have PvZ, and I'm kinda feeling lazy about trading anymore" and then I realized "Hey, these look like good 1st and 2nd prizes for some sort of contest. And since I'm probably not going to get the next Nimin release out soon, maybe I could churn up some fun with a related contest?"
So, I think I'd like to do another Nimin-related contest. However, I'm not entirely sure what kind of contest XD
Not going to have another event or writing contest, because the last one turned out to be a bit... unsuccessful. The winner is still working on finishing their event (which I should check on, now that I think about it), so they haven't even gotten their prize yet. So this time I'd like a contest with more "immediate" results for giving back a prize and also doesn't directly affect Nimin itself.
I was thinking maybe an art contest? Though if so, I'm not entirely sure what the judging criteria would be XD All art submitted would be featured in the Nimin Fanart journal, of course. But how many people would be interested and does anybody have a better idea?

I think the item could be a fun contest, though I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement, but if it is just single use with a pre-scripted effect, that could be fun to design. :)
Alternatively, you could always one-off prostitution scenes to be eligible as well.
What do you mean by "one-off prostitution scenes"?
Maybe that could be the contest: make art about your journey through the game. Though, it might be unfair if some people do full comics while others only do a single page XD I guess a time limit would help with that.
Though... that would only use of only one thing from the whole collection of entries...
It's an idea *shrugs*
And even though I'd only use one, I could still give a prize to the runner-up ^^
I'll have to think more on this, but the more I consider it the better of an idea it seems...
And then that page would also help to determine what kind of color scheme to go for the rest of the game, with either a textured background (like how Corruption of Champions has its background), or decorated borders. If that's what you meant by having updated game graphics, anyhow.
Though, decorated borders is a different kind of artsy-thing... even if you -could- get away with just making it very simple. Thinking about it, having simple borders instead of super fancy borders would be best, as having too much would distract from the simple joys that is a text-based RPG-ish game... thing...
.....would be even worse if you change the 'Invert Colors' button to an option to customize interface graphics. Might be too much, yeah >>;
With the last submission contest, I ran out of time before I finished my work, so I ended up scrubbing it. And it looks like I'll have to give up this time, too.
