Ok, this is a simple contest. Make a game with no storyline, and unique monsters, characters, and battle system. Make sure there is at least five maps and ten monsters. And harder monsters are on the last map, and easyer ones at the first. Here are the awards.

Gold Monster Cup: Uniquest first level monsters
Gold Monster Medal: Uniquest level two monsters
Silver Monster Cup: Uniquest level 3/4 monsters
Silver Monster Medal: Uniquest level 5 monsters
Bronze Monster Cup: Uniquest hero
Bronze Monster Medal: Second Uniquest hero
Invisi-Purple Monster Cup and Medal: Best Battle System

I will also need judges, and only one entry per person.

Rules are too restrictive, but I like the idea of making games based on monster design.

I think you need to make the contest a bit more general.

I think the awards make it seem too restricting.

Perhaps if you divided the "overall" awards into seperate catagories, rather than jumbling it all into one.

Have the gold, silver, and bronze metals/trophies for seperate catagories (monsters, hero, battle, etc) then have a separate award for complete overall design.

But regardless of how you judge, I'll probably try to make something!

So, uh, if I split Darkmoor up into five maps instead of four and take away the story, can I submit that? Or can I just submit it anyway because the five-map thing is kind of arbitrary and the no story catch is really lame?

In any case, if you are in any way serious about making interesting monsters with the default battle engine, you should play that game.

and by different maps, do you mean they require different tilesets?

I made one tileset, but i'm lazy to make any more... but i'll still have 5 maps...
