Is the prestigious Mapcore Spotlight not prize enough?

I never got that for Weaver despite winning the last contest But then Weaver was fun enough to build that I didn't really care

I reckon a Portal map would be a good plan, as I think we'll see quite a few entries. Doesn't need custom content to look good (I reckon most folks will pull off the simple portal style with basically Valve level of quality), and encourages originality in gameplay and design as opposed to just visuals.

i agree. a single portal map with custom content would be catastrophical, whereas a mod could probably be done.

Don't know if this works but Portal The First Slice should be enough to run Portal Custom-Maps (if you preload the full game it is?)

Anyone who doesn't have portal can leave [Blocked Image: http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/6274/emotcolbertcg2.gif].

I think portal is the best choice, puzzle design is more interesting than stunning visuals, which not everyone has the skills or time to pull off.

My own little idea: make something that doesn't look like it came from the engine it uses. On GoW, don't make some muddied blue-grey-brown mansion. On Source, don't make a wrecked city lit in fluorescent yellow and teal. On FarCry, don't make a jungle island... etc. For that (optional) extra paradoxical kick (and to level the playing field) - stock assets only. Bonus points if it looks like an actual map and not just some diorama you threw together.

I love this idea. It's pretty easy to do in Source, though, I think, since there's also wilderness beaches and cliffs, sci-fi alien buildings, horror villages filled with zombies, mines, etc.

Mind you, I like this idea, but in all honesty whoever uses Cryengine 2 will win this hands down

If the theme isn't "jungle island" I'd say whoever uses Cryengine 2 will be in trouble j/k

I don't think so...

Well fuck that looks downright incredible
