= The 512kb MAPPING CONTEST discussion !! =

Post by papercoffee »

So ...I'm collecting ideas and suggestions.

My ideas for the theme...

FROZEN IN TIME.
A map build on something happened right now but got frozen in time.
Like the Nuklear blast map from UT2k4.
Or
SUPER-SMALL.
The map is microscopic ...the whole arena take place on a beer/soda can in the middle of a street.
(the street is the skybox) or on a forest ground with gigantic mushrooms as obstacles.

Edit----------------------
VOTE NOW!!!

Edit----------------------2
Votes are over ...we have now a better idea ...The 666k contest.

:thuup: +1 I was thinking the same thing :) or even movie-location inspired maps.

Or a technical limitation? Like... a map with only 1 room or only 3 textures? (lame suggestion, I'm not a mapper, but you get the idea)

Hmmm I thinking about something like 'limited actors contest' where each contestant can use only like 400 brushes and 100 actors. Hmmm this way maybe more people would join, as such a maps can be build with less time and effort. Planning is everything :-P.
But that is just my point of view

We got the 48 hours mapping contest ...this was limitation enough.
The next should be something not sooooo limited.

Hm.... nice idea ...but me and myself don't know good Quake maps. Yes I played Quake3 Arena very often but not over the last while.

As I said above ...we had already some kind of limitation.

What about something artsy and/or experimental ?

That would actually be cool if it was underwater and you could only survive however long it takes you to drown. No more camping :mrgreen:
