Welcome to the Second Cutstuff Community Classes Contest!

You didn't think I was only going to do one, did you?

In a Cutstuff Community Classes Contest, or CCCC for short, I will give out a theme. Then, contestants will enter with classes they made based on that theme!

Here are a few things you should keep in mind:

(click to show/hide)

I don't know how to make classes!

Non-issue! I've thrown together a template to help you learn how, similar to the Weapon Template! Cold Fusion also added some more things to the template, which I think is mostly just WColors and weapon dropping.

Download CSCCTemplate version 2 here!

Personally, I would suggest using this even if you know how to make classes, because it has many assets that will make it easier for you to make your classes, such as the armor health bars.

Also it will make my life a lot easier when I go to put everything in the same file.

Can I enter [x] from [y] Classes?

Technically? Yes, if it fits with the theme. Will the judges be fond of you for it? Probably not. Do you have a high chance of winning? No, not really.

Can someone else make my class for me?

Sure, if they want to. If they don't, don't pester them, gosh.

Should I give my class custom skins/sounds/graphics?

You don't have to! The competition centers primarily around gameplay, but making your class look cool is definitely something that should be on your priority list.

What if my class ends up similar to another person's?

This will inevitably happen at least once. We'll handle it on a case by case basis, but I'm confident that y'all'll be able to make interesting, different classes.

How complex can I make my class?

Your class can be as complex or simple as you want! However, keep in mind that people have to play this, and having to read a twenty page essay to know how to play a class isn't fun. As such, you can give your class as many or as few weapons as you want.

So...What happens when the contest is over?

Well, when the entries are finished being submitted, I[or whoever is in charge at that point] will compile a pk3 with all the entries. It will be plopped into a server dedicated to the contest, and playtesting will happen. Some time after that, winners will be chosen, and they will be given their prizes.

Prizes? We actually get stuff for this?

Absolutely!

The best class as chosen by the judges will be added to whatever we're calling the next CSCC, and the creator will also be awarded with The Cutstuff Blacksmith Medal![/b]

In addition, second and third place will be rewarded with The Blacksmith Runner-Up Medal![/b]

Should I make anything aside from the class?

Yes! You should absolutely make a Copy Wep that Megaman would pick up if he were to kill your class, especially now that Cold Fusion finally updated the template!

What's the deadline for the competition?

I was thinking entries should be in by March 22nd, and testing would go on for about a week, with the winner being decided around then. The deadline will change depending on the amount of people who sign up and get their stuff in.

When can I sign up?

Any time between now and the deadline!

How do I submit my class?

Send it to whoever is in charge over Skype or Cutstuff PM, whichever is easier for you.

Wait, what? Why are you on the entrants list again?

Because I'm still bored, and didn't finish my class last time!

Also, due to a surprising amount of backlash from a few people, judges will no longer be able to participate for a medal, so I'm not a judge this time.

...Can you win as a judge?

Not anymore! Due to complaints and changes by our sponsor, backup judges will be employed whenever the main judges wish to participate in the competition!

So...Who are the new judges?

King Dumb
Messatsu
LlamaHombre

Enough stalling, what's the theme?

To make sure everyone knows themes aren't just elements...

YOUR THEME THIS TIME AROUND IS
Achilles' Heel
Make a powerful class that has a very obvious gameplay weakness!

An incredibly basic example of this is a Glass Cannon.

Good luck, everyone, and have fun making classes!

Remember,
While the winner is the only one GUARANTEED to be put into whatever we're calling CSCC, the judges may choose to add in multiple if there is another class of outstanding quality![/quote]

[Zard1084]

Ok i'mma join this time!

[xColdxFusionx]

Ironically enough, I was planning for another theme and it still fits
Mark me down for this round!

[Ceridran]

Okay no

This is just too quick

I still have no idea how in the world to code-- but really the point is that you started this before 1 - 2 weeks passed at least






oh screw it sign me up

[Korby]

Normally, there should be about a decent break. February's just short, and there were delays in getting the thing finished, primarily a bunch of people couldn't finish in the original deadline.

[Ceridran]

It hardly feels like we passed a week.


man, I need lessons, but the chances of that are low

[Knux]

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by gameplay weakness, Korby. Once I figure that out, I'll most likely enter this.

[Kapus]

That was quick.

Not planning on entering this one. I need some breathing time.

[Korby]

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by gameplay weakness, Korby. Once I figure that out, I'll most likely enter this.

"I'm good in these scenarios, but if I enter these ones, I'm absolutely horrible."

Also, technically Weo Weo Ice would count, though I'm not sure if he's particularly the best example.
He's strong, yes, but if you miss, you have to wait 10-ish seconds to try and do anything again.

[Knux]

Perfect, I have a good idea. Count me in.

[Hilman170499]

I don't know...
Probably I'll join because I'm bored.

[Korby]

Oh! I should probably make it clear that it's totally fine if your class puts itself into its horrible positions. Like I said, Weo Weo Ice was an example, and his problem is massive cooldowns.

[Zard1084]

Well i'll give some hints on what my classes weakness are.
1. The attacks are all indirect fire and have some sorta gimmick to them
2. massive weakness to fire and rocks
3. again there is no direct attacks in my class at all
and what i mean by direct i mean like iceslasher direct
and my class will be a mix of ice/elec

[Gummywormz]
