Could Epic Games pick project stealth as its conest winner ?

Little Baby PiG · April 16, 2010, 02:52:33 PM

I just watched a video of cliffy B from epic talking about how there is a contest going around where independent developers can use the unreal engine and make a game, and if it's good enough they will hand out a free licensing deal to publish the game, is project stealth part of this contest ?

Yeah it's called the Make Something Unreal Contest (MSUC). Project Stealth is in it.

Actually it was over in like September. We didn't win. They were unable to use our custom noob-friendly installer.

No, we just didn't win. They actually requested us to upload a full-blown package rather than a an updater.

Isn't there another one next year? Won't you enter that one?

I am telling how it is. Frvge was using our update-launcher as an excuse for the fact we didn't win.

No, even with the core packages, they were unable to get it to run for some reason. So we were never graded. :( At least, that's what I got out of them. They were kinda hushhush about it, which is normal according to the rules.

epic games sold out, they aren't the same original company they once were, they are dedicated to the casual gamer crowed, and they ruined gears of war 2, and are going to completely casual the shit out of gow3...they didn't pick project stealth because it takes skill and isint for 8 and 9 yr olds...project stealth is a awesome game, thats gona require thinking and patience, and epic just wants to pump out garbage casual kid friendly games.

While I agree with you when you say they soiled Gears of War (multiplayer at least), I doubt that's really the same group of people that selects the winning mods.

Frvge, isn't there going to be another MSUC next year? I thought it was an annual thing or something.

Only with every new release of Unreal Tournament.

@Little Baby PiG: But they still released a damn well UDK which is updated EVERY month, a lot of cool shit is added too, cascading shadows, ScaleForm Gfx, etc.

They didn't pick project stealth because frvge got it disqualified for not following the upload rules. Simple as that.

what a bumhole.

Doesn't the winner of Make Something Unreal have thier mod turn into a retail game - Ala. Red Orchestra?

I am just thinking that a possible reason for Epic fobbing you off could have been that this is essentially a clone of SCCT-SvM and there may be some legal implications if it did win and was distributed for money?
