After being inspired by |ALPHA| Wolf's awesome
map in 6 hours mad mapping skills, and the fact that the level design comp won't start until after 4.2 is released, I thought a speed mapping competition could be a great way to pass the time. I haven't done anything like this myself but it seems like it should be a lot of fun.
How Long: ~1 week. 1st - 9th of November. I want it to cover two weekends to give people a bit of extra time, and in case some people are busy on one weekend. The start date should give us a week and a bit to notify everyone and make sure everyone is happy with the rules.
Rules: Just to make it easy to build and judge I think we should limit the competition to a certain gametype and player size. CTF and 8-12 players. Of course you should feel free to add support for other gametypes as you wish but thats not the aim. No starting on maps before the start date. Download sizes should be kept to a minimum, so not too many custom textures/sounds/models.
Judging: A forum poll. It's not perfect... but then neither will the maps be
Prizes: The joy of a job well done and the acclaim of Urt players everywhere*
So who's interested!?
P.S. This is not a FS endorsed or organised post. I'm just doing this on my own. If any FS members have a issue with this or if this will conflict with Dragonne's comp, the 4.2 release, or anything else feel free to cancel/remove this. Its not my intention to tread on anyone's toes. Just to have some fun.
