Every CS member
Waited since September
For a spooky expansion
With many a haunted mansion
Now they have their wish
But what's this; a fish?
No, that's a tree!
A tree made for glee?
What's it doing here?
This is no place for cheer!
We're making Christmas this year?!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thaaaaaat's right! The Halloween expansion this year doesn't cover just Halloween; it also has Christmas!
Now you may be asking yourself "Why?" Short answer is because I can. The [slightly] long[er] answer is that although Halloween has historically had decent turnouts [except for last year but we don't talk about last year] Christmas never really did.
In fact, Christmas has only had one or two expansions in total. That's lame! So now we're fixing that by bundling it up with Halloween and releasing one big mega holiday pack.

So, what can you contribute to or expect from this expansion?
Skins!
Make a skin of your favorite robot master dressed up as something else, something spooky, or maybe snug as a rug in a bug wait in some fancy winter clothes!
Or just put a wreath around Plantman again. Good skin, 10/10 skin.
Maps!
Do you make maps? Do you like Halloween? Do you like Christmas?
Well buddy do I have news for you! You can submit a Halloween themed map, a Christmas themed map, or a Halloween and Christmas themed map to this!
What counts as Halloween or Christmas themed? Make it spooky! Make it snowy! Make it candy! <--- This could fit for either holiday!
Just include some vague level of relevance to the holiday in your map, and all will be good!
Also, much like the two years ago, you have full creative freedom! That means custom music, custom textures, dynamic lights, darkness settings, and custom actors!
Just don't put new weapons on there, because that'll mess with one of the big points of this pack, which is...

Compatibility!
That's right! This pack will no longer arbitrarily lower the brightness in every map ever or replace a whole bunch of actors to put dynamic lights on them!
The main reason I'm doing this is to actually let people play on these maps for longer than a week upon release!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now, you may have heard that the MM8BDM Extender Medal was retired recently.
What's this mean for this expansion?
Well....

Say hello to the Haunted Holiday medal that will be awarded to participants in this expansion!
To get this snazzy medal just contribute an acceptable piece to the expansion and you'll get it when the expansion is done!
When's it done?
Glad you asked!

The deadline for this expansion is December 9th!
This should give people ample time to get their stuff in before then.

In addition, this pack will include the best-of previous Halloween and Christmas expansions*, and as usual, the skinpack will be updated upon release!
*Some best-of maps may be removed in case they are in use/planned to be in use in other map packs.

Good luck everyone, and have Happy, Haunted Holidays!

I think I'll take on Quickman Halloween.
(~~I'll just grab his sprite sheet and slap on Elecman Stuff on him~~)

Chilling!

Since I already have a Halloween map in here it seems, I may as well sign up for a map on the Christmas ends of things.
Both because it's fitting and to kinda redeem myself for some of my own personal failures running Holiday Deathmatch beforehand.

I'll keep y'all updated.

I already have a Halloween skin ready to go, so whenever I get the chance I will indeed send it.
Let's just say that it will BEE a good one.

Perhaps I'll see about updating the Ghost of Dr. Wily, and maybe even include a fresh skin along with it.

I might be able to submit the freshly polished Alucard Bass skin to this since the one that we got in the old expansions was severely broken. Maybe Cutman Voorhees too.

I'll die a happy man if you remix the "spooks of Halloween Town" theme from Kingdom Hearts.

Hmmmm ... I've started on an Halloween skin just yesterday ... Very good timing. But it's sad ... So sad Xmas didn't get much love. Which is quite paradoxal since Xmas seems to be more celebrated than Halloween in my area.

I made a uh. Discord Channel for this!

So here's the Halloween expansion.

Was going to contribute a super spooky map, though there really isn't any Christmassy factor to it. Good thing the regulations can allow that. I'll see if I can succeed with it, so count me in!

I do hope it'll be okay to use an 8-bit remix of a lyric based song though. Tell me if it's a major issue.

Korby · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2016, 08:00:30 PM »

Totally fine.
Also, if there's going to be a discord for this [there won't be], I would have made it.
Seeing as I'm running the expansion.

Brash Buster · « **Reply #12 on:** October 13, 2016, 01:13:57 AM »

Sweet! I made 2 skins for this year's Halloween expansion ahead of time. I didn't know about the additional Christmas theme, but if I get the time I'll work on one of those, too.

Magneto Man

Gravenant

They both have taunts, but please keep in mind that Gravenant's taunt is the Revenant screech from Doom 2. If anyone is uncomfortable with Gravenant's taunt being the Revenant screech, I'll change it.

I plan to make something for the Christmas side of things.

Gamzee Clownman

I'll see if I can make at least 1 map for this.
