Theme: Singleplayer Villages
Theme: Singleplayer Villages
Greetings everyone!
We have completed the cycle of the first 4 contests - scening, 3D Art, scripting and art. Some contests have been more popular than others but we're really happy that you, the modding community, decided to participate in the contests and by that supported them and the culture of the open-source resources. We're also very positive about the future of the contests and are at all times looking into improving them. If you have any ideas on how to improve the contests or if you would like us to introduce new modding contests such as animations,... let us know down below!
We have decided to standardize the contest submission start/end dates which is why we will from now on organize contests monthly with submission start date being the first day of the month and submission end date the last day of the month.
And finally, this month's contest! Scening is back on the menu with the theme: Singleplayer Villages. We are excited to see what scenes our modding community will come up with so don't hesitate and join the contest!

- You are allowed to post screenshots of your work using client-side mods for Native or visual enhancements, but keep in mind that the scenes will be reviewed on a clean copy of Native, and some of your props and settings may not work as intended if you use third-party add-ons during creation.

By submitting your work to the contest, you have agreed to the rules stated.
Judging
The submissions will be rated on a points system, based on their performance in the following categories: Visuals, Gameplay, Innovativeness, Performance. Once the submission end date is reached and the submissions are closed, the judges and selected testers will review the scenes on a server. Each of the three judges will submit up to 10 points for each category, which means the maximum amount of points a scene can get is 120.
Further explanation of the categories:
Visuals - How well the different scene features fit into each other, the composition of props, quality of ground texture and painting work, terrain realism, details and touches.
Gameplay - How well the scene plays out in a fighting scenario of 40+ people, and the suitability of NPC locations and entry points.
Innovativeness - The use of new and fresh concepts while designing the look, gameplay, and setting of the scene.
Performance - The performance and optimization of a scene. We have decided to make this category objective and judge the performance based on the size of the scene (you can gain the maximum 10 points if your scene is <=300kb, 9 points if <=400kb, 8 points if <=500kb,...).
The Judging Committee:
Rewards
- Medals to showcase your achievement across the forums (by Efe Karacar)

- USD $80 prize pool donated by khamukkamu
