DarkRider Presents...

TESA's Second Annual Halloween Modding Challenge
---------------------------------------------



Hail and Fair Greetings, BGS Forum-ites! :wave:

Every year around this time folks start to ask if there's a Halloween mod coming out for this year, so I thought I'd get a jump on the inquiries by announcing "YES" there will be!

Some of you may remember last year's challenge: http://www.invision.tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/190-v120-the-oubliette-tesas-2009-halloween-challenge/. Well we're at it again, the members and staff of TESA are competing in a horrific modding challenge to create the best scare in an Oblivion dungeon interior and this year we will be raising the bar!! Each challenger will be adding a unique scare filled level to our collective horror themed project titled:

Darkness Hollows

The finished project in all its blood curdling goodness...er evilness will be made available on October 31st for download!

Now comes the fun part, once you've played, YOU the players will decide which level gave the best overall scare! After we release Darkness Hollows, we will open polls here and on TESA to collect votes for favorite scares and tally them up to announce the winner! :celebration:

First post! MINE! MWAHAHAHA :celebration: I can't wait to get started. This was so much freakin fun last year! :woot:

What? Only glancing interest? Come on chaps, this is fun, get some excitement brewing! Last year's challenge mod made the Top 5 for October on Nexus and was hailed as a master dungeon crawl unlike any other! Add your devilish horrors to this year's challenge!

Ugh. Why make it available ON Halloween? I mean who will actually get to play it the day it comes out? Everyone will be too busy having Halloween fun to play a video game.

:rofl: We had no problem with that last year so I can say for a fact that's not a problem. The Halloween release works and... it's a Halloween mod, when else would it be released? LOL

Well, I am well beyond trick or treating age, and would never waste good candy by passing it out to children, so I'll definitely be playing this on Halloween.

The weekend of Halloween? I mean most Halloween specials don't happen on Halloween.

It releases on Halloween as a symbolic gesture, but the polls remain open for an entire week so folks have plenty of time to trick or treat and still play the mod. That'll due for the whinging now kiddies. :lmao:

Dude, if you're just here to whine about the release date...yeah. :whistling: YOU can download it whenever you like after Halloween. The rest of us will be getting our buts kicked that night thanks and happily.

:foodndrink:

^^ THIS!!!





^^ And THIS ... I'm so going to be watching all this fun!!! Especially with Who's creepy little mind involved. I'm already scared

I'm still digging the darts outta my rump from Who's entry last year. I swear she knows just where I'll walk because I always get it in my back! :rofl:

Full of Win yes you are Lady. :hugs: LOL What we need is a Halloween candy resource so I can add a pile of it to mine as a reward. :rofl:

Edit: :rofl: Ouija and Rider! :rofl: I did my evil best! MWAHAHAHA

And I have a plan. :chaos: MWahahahaha okay I can't install Oblivion yet for a day or so but my level is planned out now. heh heh heh heh Yev I'm totally taking you down this year. LOL

And yes, there will be blood

Eight challengers already, but there's plenty of room for more! :woot:

Heh, I might give it a go. I can't do meshes though so I'll see if I can make something interesting from vanilla meshes and modders resources

The Oubliette was just great. I hope there are such quality scary mods this year, too!

No worries there Welsh. :foodndrink: I can't model either. Vanilla and resources can make for a fantastic level and I tied for an award in the challenge last year with WillieSea. LOL

Eight challengers eh? Should be fun

You got my attention. I'm a really big fan of The Oubliette.

Should be a Fun night! :clap:

Oh it's voted on? Well then I could care less about the release date. I can get it before halloween .

Oh OH I get it now. I really should have RTFM... I didn't realize it was essentially a collab. I assumed people submitted their own Halloweeny mods based around a certain theme.

At it again I see.
It should be another hit like it was last year.
Keep up the good work. I have fond memories of that dungeon.

Brilliant Nico, I'd nearly forgotten that bit! :lmao:
