Shadow Academy Design Competition
As posted on the DGM Competition site...
=====
This is a competition to design the Shadow Academy's actual building. A solid design for the building will add to the roleplaying feel of the Brotherhood, and this will also likely be made into a Jedi Outcast level.
There are two categories available here - graphical and fictional. Participants may work in teams of two. Teams may only submit to one of the two categories.
Awards will be as follows:
Crescent with Diamond Star x 2
Crescent with Ruby Star x 2
Crescent with Amethyst Star x 2
1 set of the above will be for each section (graphical and fictional).
You have until January 31st to get your designs in.
I have listed below the things I expect to see in all designs. These are fairly basic guidelines, but so we don't end up with something way off target...
All entries should have:
- Classrooms (1 per Order minimum)
- Combat training area (for lightsaber instruction)
- Living quarters for guests, Apprentices in training, the HM, staff, etc.
Recommended:
- Recreation area
- Physical training gymnasium
- Force training area
Other:
- YES! PLEASE! Make it as extravagant and cool as you can. :P
The building may be single or multi-level, above or below ground... anything you feel works. I will be taking the best design to the DB JK2 mod team after any alterations I feel are necessary to it - most likely for gameplay issues.
Good luck, folks. ;)

Well...this defeats the purpose of designing it yourself Mage...but I guess its fine. One problem will be people's over exageration with what the engine is capable of. So try to keep things in the realm of possibility.
We had already agreed this would work, Shad. Don't go getting all anti-comp on me now. :P
As for the engine issues, I said right in the post that I may have to edit the map for the JK2 version, for 'gameplay issues'. It's all under control.
Besides, I'd rather see people getting medals for this than me trying to cram this in amidst other work. And I'm graphically inept, but a picture for the DSC would be nice, so...
In the end, I expect that this will be good. The final version of the map will be post-fixations, so it will be good, and should also make for a nice JK2 map.
Alright...I just wanted to see you suffer over work :P
You don't see enough of that already? :P
I guess I'm the exception then, I'm a total jackass to my Consul :P
disregard my previous comment, im kinda out of it at the moment...
My design for the shadow academy is very practical, except for maybe the water slide...
I dunno, Khobs... I'm still debating the usefulness of the Obelisk Midget Arena...
