Forge The Studio

[emilio30]

A contest from The Running Riot
Sponsored by Forge Hub

The LIVE recording of Episode 17 of The Running Riot Podcast introduced a new feature of the show. A specially designed map was made by TRR on Cold Storage and provided a Studio like experience for the Hosts and Guests. Plus, viewers received a “Backstage Pass” by answering a question correctly in the chat room before the show. This allowed them to join the party and hang out in the background while we conduct the interview.

So the challenge to the Halo community is to make a Studio for the next LIVE Podcast. It is hard for me to explain the requirements so I made a video and posted to YouTube:

• This is an ongoing contest with a new winner every month since there is a show every month. It will not be closed and no due date so keep the submissions coming.
• If your Studio does not win, it still can win for a later show. You can also tweak your map and resubmit, just make sure you post it in this thread that you made a change.
• All submissions are to be posted to this thread. Assume that all maps will be reviewed.
• You can follow the status on the contest on Twitter.
• The current winner will have their studio featured in the next show and receive a backstage pass.
• You can email me directly if you want feedback on your map or if you have any questions: therunningriot@me.com. Feedback will NOT be given on every map.

Notes:

• The Guests and Hosts enter the game FIRST with the Backstage Pass viewers getting invites after the game has started. This way you can use a Slayer gametype and have objects spawn after the game starts(i.e. make a wall appear sealing you in or to block a teleporter, etc). With spawn points outside the studio, no one can get in.
• Try to test your creation with a friend to make sure the Backstage Pass viewers cannot kill the Hosts and Guests(and vice versa).
• The video contains the basic requirements. The rest is yours! If it is something that will not work in the show, I can simply remove it.
• You can submit more than one map.

Winners:

Episode 18: EpicFishFingers-Map
Episode 19: Zoxin1-Map
Episode 20*: SNiPE0UT 55-Map
Episode 21: VVilly-Map
Episode 22: xSharpshooter94-Map

*The original Episode 20 was an interview with Firestream from Halo Charts on Tuesday, July 14, 2009. The replay was lost so it was taken out of the series. The event was renamed "A Night With Firestream" and the original Forge The Studio winner was Seaboro Kibbles-Map

A special thanks to Insane54 and Shock Theta for allowing TRR to host this contest in your forum.

Good Luck!

This sounds like an awesome idea. I may actually try to submit something, or get some of my friends who are actually good at Forging to try. Good luck to all.

[Shock Theta]

Goes without saying I'll try and cook something up for this. Looking forward to checking out what everyone comes up with!

I can't seem to find the due date. Can you please inform me?

Let's see what I can do.

It says it is on going, which means there is no due date.
They are always looking for better studios

[EpicFishFingers]

Like a machinima type map? Yeah, I'll do that.

I didn't know you could drain a sword by chopping up turrets. Does it work for plasma cannons?

I would have built my one on Cold Storage if you hadn't done so. I'm thinking Avalanche or Ghost Town...


EDIT: Actually, Dibs on Rat's Nest!

Exactly! Just keep em coming!! The next show is May 19th but I will have to pick it and test it about a week before that.

There is a show every month.

Okay, sorry about that I understand now. Hopefully, I will create something you like.

I like the idea, and many possiblilities spring to mind. What features do you require. Right now i have idears for a sort of balcony, with windows overlooking avalanche, possibly a sound booth like a recording studio. Do you want any action in the background, like objects zipping past. would you like the balcony overlooking a courtyard so people can have a battle outside the window whilst your interviewing. Perhaps chairs and tables will look good. Do you want to walk around whilst interviewing. As i said many ideas spring to mind ;D
