Today, we begin the first stage of The Witcher Adventure Editor contest for everyone interested in making new adventures for The Witcher game. The contest will have 5 separate stages (each stage will last 2 weeks) which will form the integral whole.
 
The aim of the contest will be to solve 5 tasks which will be released for you in stages every 2 weeks. You will be obligated to obey basic rules and guidelines. In stage one we will focus on creating the main plot.
 
The best project chosen in every stage of the contest will be rewarded. At the end (after stage 5) we will also reward the best 3 overall projects (some super unique stuff is waiting!!! – further details soon).
After 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th stage we will publish official solution templates made by designer from CD Projekt RED.
 
We wait for your ideas at adventures@thewitcher.com

Ahem, please forgive a newbie a stupid question (I'm really making a fool out of me now) Wall

As far as I understand the document for the first plot, you will need the story in written text, send to the link above, is this right? (please don't shoot me for this)

And can there be one more NPC or is this limited to the two proclaimed in the "first stage document"?

As far as I know, this contest is to make adventures using the Djinni Toolset for each phase... writing the plot into quest phases is part 4 of the first challenge Smiley

Yes, thats right, but I have no idea at this time how to make an introduction (maybe a cutscene) without making the templates first, but templates are at stage 3. Huh?

Same with the inhabitants, how can it be done to invent their lifes without making templates and spawnsets first.
From contest document:
Quote
... what is the life of the villagers like, what do they do at particular times of the day...

I can't realize at this time how to implement them without having spawnsets, but spawnsets are on 3rd stage. Huh? Huh?

I'm too proud to give it up before I began that thing and there are two weeks left to make it Wink, so maybe Eriash or someone from CDPR can tell me what exactly is needed for first stage (written story, cutscene or what else), ...glp...maybe in german Huh? Huh?
AND: if I someday understand  this, can there be one other NPC or is it limited to that two proclaimed in the documents?

I neither get it.... It seems to be asking for the full adventure... in stage one.... the only way to create the plot in the eidtor is actually making the whole adventure.. and that should have to be done in only 2 weeks? sounds impossible to me... but a written text file cold be made....


Basically I am confused...  Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

but in true Internet fashion, the surprise was beaten to the surprise by the surprise which was originally going to be the surprise, surprising us before the surprise could become surprise we were supposed to be surprised by.

Ok, it has more sense now, two weeks to invent an story, and no programming anything...... The text has to have any format? Thanks!

EDIT: And where has it to be sent ? email? url?

So, my first thought was the right one, thanks for getting this clear.

@arkray: There's the email-adress in the first post on this side.  I think everybody can open a MS Word document, I began my story in this format yesterday. Wink
