Steel Beasts Scenario Design Contest
COMMUNITY NEWS posted on 31 JUL 2008 by Jim Zabek
eSim Games is hosting its second scenario design contest.
Software developer eSim Games, LLC and the official fan site of its premier product, Steelbeasts.com, will be awarding several prizes for the best platoon sized, single player missions to run no longer than 45 minutes. Submissions will be accepted up until September 21, 2008. Submissions will then be evaluated by judges for the next eight weeks. The winners will be announced on December 1, 2008. For questions on scenario design, we invite you to visit the scenario design discussion board at www.SteelBeasts.com
As before, the following categories will be rated for each scenario:
1) Scoring
2) Briefing
3) Play Balance
4) Fun Factor
5) Replayability
6) Originality
Once the scenarios have been evaluated, each judge's scores will be averaged to create a overall score for each scenario, and a score for each category. Prizes will then be awarded for the top 3 overall scenarios, and to each category winner. Prizes are going to be similar to the last contest; for details, please visit http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/showthread.php?t=12115
All submissions become property of eSim Games and may be included in future releases of Steel Beasts.

1) The submission must be new – you cannot submit an existing scenario.
