It's COMPETITION time!!!
Since we're in such a good mood right now we here at the elite TAP Offices(tm) have decided to let all you lucky people have a bash at getting your ideas turned into a mission/campaign for inclusion with the release of The Apocalypse Project.

Okay, here’s the deal.

* Write a plot line for a mission or set of missions.  This can be a story, script or simple bulleted lines, but do try to be descriptive of the situation you are trying to create please.

* The plot must be based on and in the Homeworld Universe.

* Time period must be set from the events of Homeworld to the events of Homeworld: Cataclysm or shortly after.  No hundreds of years before or after.

* You may only use the main races of the first 2 Homeworld games (Homeworld and Homeworld: Cataclysm).  This means you can use:  Kushan, Taidan, Bentusi, Turanic Raiders, Kadesh and Beast.  You may not use: Vaygr, Taimat/T-Mat.

* You may have as many entries as you want, but each one must be different, not the same idea over and over again.

* And finally, please try to be realistic on scripting.  While we appreciate your efforts of creating a 70 mission plot, this is a bit extreme.  Try to keep the number under five missions.  But if you really feel the need to go over then that’s fine, and who knows; if it's good enough we might actually do a whole campaign around it.


Entries should be submitted preferably in text format (plain or rich) or html.  Any additional material you want to add is fine, just put the lot into a zip file.
Submit entries to [email protected]

Submitted scripts/plots will be collectively viewed and judged by the staff and chosen for 'TAPification' ;)

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Is there a deadline? My entry's kinda long (I'm writing the entire script for you, briefing by briefing, stage by stage, line by line.  When you want detail, you'll get detail :P ) and I've been busy lately.  Haven't been able to work on it much.

Currently there is no official closing date for this one.  We're just waiting for larger number of entries to come in.  It will be closing at some point though if TAP expands into HW2 there will more than like be a second comp.

hehe a bit of friendly competition eh? lol

dont forget that something a million pages long can still end up being... well... crap.

its nice to know that you guys are putting a bit of effort into it, but try and keep the entries for this comp just nice and simple, u dont HAVE to go writing an actual mission by mission guide. hey, if u got the time and willpower, dont let us stop u but realisticlly all u need is a great idea and the ability to put it into a few words, if its good, then put it into a million words.

effort is a resource best managed carefully.

and if i might add, it would be nice if the entries were easily applicable for any situation or timeline. it doesnt really matter if it isnt but this way, if its chosen we can simply put it anywhere.

+the reason why we want 'storys' is because to get an orginal HW feel we need to somehow recreate that atmosphere the original game made. so an actual story that draws the player into the game. i know it will be difficult to attempt to match relics and sierras brilliance but we have to try at least to come close to living upto the original.

i might start an ideas thread for people to post simple ideas that they would like to see recreated, who knows? something original might even pop up worth implementing into the mod.

but yes, simple, atmospheric, strong story driven is (hopefully) what this mod will be known for.
something similar to the old fs2 campaign even. :)
