CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY
It has been voiced many times that Melee Kombat is very hard to do in Spring, so i've decided to disrupt this dominant paradigm by running a Kontest with fights to the death between modified melee units of currently active and/or interested Spring projects. (while joyfully concocting a DoW-like melee combat engine to run it)
By default, i'm hijacking Smoth's littledino, ZK Scythe, and Journeywar's TigerLily as the initial roster.
Any other projects can nominate their Kontestants!
The requirements are as follows:
1) Unit must exist in melee role to some extent before submission!
2) Must use a melee weapon or hand-to-hand as a primary means of attack. Secondary pistols or such are allowed as "special ability" cooldown moves, but don't push it.
3) Must be somewhat interesting to animate. That is, ZK's Jack is unacceptably simple. (of course you can suggest your model to be more interesting by proposing the cool moves for it).
4) Submitted Kontestant units and their assets must be under a reasonably liberal license.
You can specify some special abilities for your Kontestant that it can employ during Kombat. For instance, the Scythemaster can become invisible.
A portrait pic is welcome. You can even write a bio about how your Kontestant decided to enter the Kontest.
