Art Competition
If you are opting to make Serious Sam-inspired artwork, then you don't need to learn how to mod and can skip this part and jump right to the juicy prizes up for grabs. But for the modders, read on:

Fantastic this new page for this contest, and as modders it is exactly what we needed. The links to the Editor Wiki, Engine Documentation and Scripting Documentation will make that we can finally really start to put something together what is worth playing (or at least i hope it is).
Yesterday i already did start with my first level and i have to say, its a really great editor. Took me a bit of time to get familiar with it because it doesn't look like any of the previous editors i worked with, (like Source/Hammer, IDTech versions for DOOM, Prey, Quake, Sof2 and Cod, etc.)
But specially with the first tut video it was quit easy to put a beginner map together with a playerstart, enemies and weapons, powerups etc.
So, come on guys!
Try this, the game is awesome! The prizes are high and numerous and even when you don't win it still is a awesome way to spent to time!

QuickSave & QuickLoad MOD. Most Popular category.
Hahaha, you could be right there because it is indeed sometimes a bit of a pain in the *ss to have to start all over again from the start of a level (after having died 3 times).
But at the same time this also has its charms, so, maybe i wouldn't install such a mod afterall, lol.

I hope it's possible to make Total Conversion Mods, imagine how cool it'd be to have a Half-Life, Doom, or Halo Mod for this Game.
