Since I had some spare time, I drafted up some rules. Take a look, and once again contact me if you are interested in helping moderate things/volunteer for prizes. Rules draft here. From the poll, there's an 80% interest of people who would be willing to make mods! If you are interested in helping organize the competition/volunteer prizes, please talk to me! I will work on getting things sorted out and create a new post with rules/etc/etc. As a fellow mod maker, I have decided that google forms and community voting will be used. Please share this around to anyone who has an interest in mod making or game design & likes RWBY! I'd love to see what the community can turn out!Now, back to your regularly scheduled post...This is something that popped into my head recently, and I thought it would be interesting to get people to make a whole bunch of mods and get the community rolling again for a while. Here are my ideas for how it would be run, and anyone's thoughts on this idea are greatly appreciated, from the general idea or specifics. This post is mostly just to gauge interest.I was thinking more like a really long game jam, where mods would be made specifically for the competition, but I feel like entering old mods could be allowed if people would way rather do that. The point is more to get the community putting out cool stuff again. There could be a theme, but I don't think it's required.There would of course have to be different categories, because judging soundpacks against texture packs wouldn't make sense. Some sample categories would be soundpacks, character texture packs, HUDs, environment textures, and maybe plugins (though I don't think there's anyone besides gvk that write plugins right now.)Rather than doing a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. for each category, I think awards for different qualities would work well. Examples include: "Best Newbie Entry" (For first time modders who have not released anything), "Best in Category", "Mashups", "Most Original" , "Most Funny." etc.I was thinking of either trying to find a way to set up a community poll for each entry so that we could all decide and vote, or trying to get a panel of judges together. As for judges, I would propose that they obviously do not enter (or can't vote in their category), or are a game dev or something of that sort. I'd volunteer for this if we really needed another person. As for voting, there are multiple sites that could be used, (or google forms) so that we could collect entries, then allow for voting during a certain time period. Sample voting format? (For some reason steam will only open this link when viewing the post in a browser for me, here is a roundabout way to get it if anyone needs: goo .gl/forms/mAsSkeizTZ2BqYEr1 Remove the space.)These would be something that would need to get decided in more detail, but here's some proposed stuff from me: a custom mod/skin (this would need more coordination for sure), a RT Store gift card (probably like $10), JNPR DLC, or maybe even some custom commissioned fanart.As for when this would happen, obviously not immediately. Maybe something to do with July 5th, as that was the official PC release, or maybe sooner.
