Well I think this challenge more than bore some choice dungeon fruit.

I'm going to have to pass on doing the same for the sliding daemon head and sliding dragon statue unless I find some more time under a rock (with the help of Nana's Staff?). But I'll describe briefly how I did each one.

It's definitely very cool what you did there and your scripting skills are phenomenal (not only the moving stuff surprised me, all the rest of your mod as well). But all the simple movements could have easily been done with a few simple adjustments in a modeling program, here is an example:

That's a dragon statue using the door animations. Took less than 5 minutes to make and it offers a lot of options - you can set the movement speed in the objects lua, the sound effects and you can even toggle the movement direction whenever you want. You would still have to script blockages so the player can't walk through, but that is the most simple part of your script I guess. You can do the same with anything else in any direction and you can even change the scale of the animation without altering the animation itself by down- or upscaling the model and rescaling the animation node to 100% size in the toolkit. That way you can make the statue move 1 tile or 2 or 3 tiles or only half a tile - whatever suits your needs. The door can easily be hidden in a wall by adjusting the position of the animation node and setting it up as a secret wall so the player can't see anything extraordinary on the map (like a door marker) and can't collide with the door.

BFW was hilarious and very creative, thanks for making that Ed.

I finally got a chance to check these out. I'm dying to know though: Who won (both are deserving)?

And when's the next challenge?

Both got prizes. as they were the only entrants.

I'll post the new challenge in the new year. I know what I want from the community and I believe it was mentioned that it's possible theoretically. So I will demand it. After the Steam Sale I'll have quite a few prizes to hand out. Which will be good because I intend to host 2 categories of challenges. One will be pushing the dungeon editor into new heights. The other will be getting the Asset makers off their assets

All in all it'll be fun for everyone which is the main goal.

Sounds great...I can't wait! Nice work setting these up, btw.

Asset making hmm? I think I would be fit to compete! ..perhaps. lol

well the clown ogres really entertained the crap out of me

Just finished playing Big Friendly Warden for the first time, a very fun little mod! Here are my notes I took while playing and immediately after:
----------------
- walk back, whoa, quake, ceiling collapse! (except the ceiling isn't collapsed, only the tunnel)
- (typo in scroll, should be "gratitude" not "graditude")
- (I don't usually like immersion-breaking meta-game texts like that, but we'll see)
- barrels not breaking, but it says I've done damage?
- got clothes from room, got round key
- talked to warden, "look soft without clothes", what? secret found? huh?
- He called me Mork, but I'm Contar, (I just prefer single player to be in spot 2 for better on-screen HUD visual
- balcony rocks look a little odd, but okay, blue moon story helps cover that issue well enough
- got gear key, another quake
- keeps calling me Mork
- got cool endless fireball wand, fun
- cool crypt area
- back room was dark, but I saw a ceiling shaft - for a light I failed to turn on?
- RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!, kinda low tech on the effects, but still FUN!
---------------------------------
I loved a lot of things about this little mod:
- cool welcome mat, looked good
- I felt like the conversation was good, like there was a real character there, in sort of a 90's SNES JRPG way, which was a good thing
- scripted events were fun
- for some reason I loved that scroll popping out and just arcing up and then landing there, nice toss!

Edsploration's a monster. I really look forward to what he does post GUI update.
