4 weeks is plenty long enough IMO
THE CUBE CHALLENGE: Rules and discussion
-
-
I'll third 4 weeks, that seems about right.
-
32 it is for unity, and 4 weeks it is for the challenge. Revised rules:
QuoteDisplay MoreBuild an entire level contained within a 1024x1024x1024 cube.
***This is based on approximately Source/id tech player scale (64-72 units) and will vary as follows for other engines/editors***
Quake */Doom 3: 1024x1024x1024
Half-Life/Source: 1024x1024x1024
Call of Duty: 1024x1024x1024
UT3/UDK: 1344x1344x1344
Gears of War: 2048x2048x2048
Unity: 32x32x32
The challenge will begin Friday, February 18th, and end Sunday, March 13th at 11:59PM US CENTRAL time (GMT -6)
A submission thread will be opened in the final week of the challenge. Post a download link to your level along with up to 3 screenshots of your work.
You will have roughly one week to review all entries before voting begins. A single vote will be held for the overall winner. Voters will be allowed to vote for their top 3 entries, and the level that receives the most votes will be declared our winner.
You may:
- Use any engine/editor/game/mod of your choosing. If it is not already listed above, you must verify the scale of your engine before the start of the challenge
- Create a single OR multi player level
- Use unlimited brushes, meshes, effects, etc.
- Include non-accessible background detail that extends beyond the playable space
You MAY NOT:
- Allow any living player to move beyond 1024 units in playable/accessible space on any axis. The 1024 bounds MUST be defined by walls, sky, collision, or a kill volume.
As with the previous challenge, there will be no prize other than the pride of knowing people thought you were awesome
-
we should probably rename this to cube contest, because it's hardly 1024^3 anymore what with all the engines.

I can support this.
-
Make sure for the Unity dimensions you say that the 32^3 bounds are based on you using the standard FPS controller dimensions (2 unit tall player), because really anyone could scale the player down to 0.25 units and make a huge level.
-
i think this goes into the whole "keep shit within the spirit of the contest", don't do shit that bend or breaks the rules.
-
Can I enter with a minecraft level?
-
since we changed the name, i feel obligated to post this here:

lol sentura, and lez do it. Hope I have time to make something good.

I suggest someone try their hand at making a portal map as their contribution. It'd be a fun and challenging entry, I was going to try it for the 20 brush challenge, but I ran out of time trying to juggle work and mapping.
-
I like portal style but I'm too bad at LD to make a decent portal map with good gameplay...

Definitely! I think there's a lot of really cool possibilities for Portal in this one. I would have loved to see a 20-brush Portal entry, too; it's too bad you didn't have time to finish it!
-
Might give portal a go actually. Never mapped for it before so could be interesting.
-
Love the concept, im considering doing something on CODWAW engine.... :derp:
-
Going to try a portal level! These challenges are awesome btw, was going to enter the 20-Brush contest but I found out about it too late.
-
Idea for a portal map: Since the contest is so limited in terms of space you could have a test chamber that reconfigures itself as you play. Like the goal is to push a button or something and once you do all the walls/floors/platforms move around and you are standing in what is basically a different chamber.

just started a little something, very early wip:

tried to make one of my old custom skyboxes work but then hammer crashed, then the sdk crashed and finally, steam crashed. tbh i feel pretty oldskool now.

Seriously guys I want to submit a minecraft level, I'm guessing I can follow this
QuoteUnity: 32x32x32 (based on player height of 2 units)
as minecraft has a 2 block high player also.rules, schmules.
