Relaxing day at the beach - Szico VII

Hey folks, a new contest has been long overdue, I know. I meant to start this one up shortly after the last one but too many things took my attention away. I have way too many hobbies to keep up with. 😅 No summer themed contest this year, but that could be up to you depending on your submission.

Everyone likes mod contests but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up and try something different. We have a decent number of in-game photographers, digital artists, and lots of creative people that could make this one really cool.

Essentially this is a contest for who can make the best Jedi Knight-related poster/banner for JKHub. I’ve been wanting something really nice and flashy looking to use for the front page and for social media accounts, and I made one really quick back when we launched the new theme. I can probably spend a lot more time on making a better one, but I figured it would be much better to involve the community.

This isn’t just to win and get the award badge on your profile. This will be the new banner on the front page of JKHub in place of the existing one and will be used on social media.

So what qualifies as a banner?

An image in PNG or PSD format.
Dimensions at minimum 3200px X 2000px with 72ppi
Aspect ratio of 16:10.
If you include text, you must also include a textless version.
If you include a signature, make it unobtrusive but still legible.
Must be related to the Jedi Knight series (particularly Outcast & Academy), including characters, locations, weapons, items, etc.
Multiple entries are allowed.
Additional orientations are allowed, but a horizontal 16:10 is required.
Upload in a ZIP file to ensure no unnecessary compression is added anywhere.
No pornographic or ultra violent subjects or content allowed.
Huge bonus points if you make a version for each major season of the year or holidays.
By submitting to this contest, you are fully aware that your art will be used by us, for JKHub. Full credit to you will be given when and where possible.

Jedi Academy: Enhanced is a mod for Jedi Academy Single Player which adds features and improvements to the core experience of the base game like RGB sabers, saber customization, saber holstering, new force powers, and much more.

This is for new or old players who want to play through the single player story of Jedi Academy with some enhancements and new features without completely overhauling the core vision of the game.

Credit goes to redsaurus who has single-handedly put in tons of code work and implementation, as well as the creators of the other content like Kahn's UltimateWeapons, Ashura's DL-44, Plasma's lightsabers, therfiles' camSP, and more (mentioned in readme and file page).

I made this map purely for my own personal passion for Final Fantasy 7. The map is based on a location in FF7 that is infamous in gaming history but that’s going down spoiler territory so anyone who has played the original FF7 should recognize this location pretty quick. I took a long break from mapping due to college classes and thought making something small would be a great way to get a refresher in mapping.

Map Features:
Buttons:
Four buttons clearly marked allow for changing the main fighting area to change.
1: Spectator stands
2: Wall
3: Pilon
4: Overhead cross 

Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy, and Republic Commando are free on Amazon Games for Prime Day today if anyone is interested. That means you need the Amazon Games launcher to install and play it. Not a big deal in my opinion but I know a lot of people get pissy about that for whatever reason.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition as well, and that one is redeemable on Origin.
