No it means you decide it can be Sci-fi it can be a puzzle it can be Horror you decide.

Your imagination is the limit here

Will edit so that it makes more sense

EDIT: Genre must now be SCIFI only

Uh.. Then it serves no purpose, because if you like a horror better then a puzzler your oppinions maybe biased. Making the voting unfair.

Yeh dont you just get that sinking feeling that you're being watched scary right.

Anyway ON-TOPIC:

I also think a scifi game with custom shaders would be amazing imagine the effects you could do with that sort of power

"Fun to play" need's to be "entertainment value"
"Well designed map" need's to be "Map design"

And the last thing, say total points possible...

That's it. Good job setting it up...

And now we wait...

Does this mean you're only allowed segments and entities that you've created yourself?

I have CP's stuff as well, but I still struggle to complete a game, I also have a lot of bonds stuff and a lot of scifi bits and bobs from all over inch a lot from the store. But I can never get my mind together to make a scifi game im always missing models, and I can never get any of my own models working with FPSC xD Ill just stick to my comfy little horror genre.
