    - Challenge yourself and avoid all 3 design crutches... No lasers, no goo or bottomless pits and no turrets.

    I like this

    Tutorial challenge:

    Design a small map aimed at teaching players a specific mechanic, or teaching the game's basic mechanics using only the scenario or environment (no tutorial messages or dialogue).

    Love it, it's hard to find an opportunity to create a tutorial level, having it be a challenge would be cool

    That's a fantastic idea, I'd love to run it.

    So, sorry for the drop-off in these... stupid "Starhawk" thing has been a bit hectic lately.

    I have a few things I want to try to get these rolling again on a less formal/more regular basis starting after the first of the year. I just got back from a week-long trip (and 12 hour drive!) so I need to go die for a while, but I'll post some more details soon to see what you guys think.

    Beating a dead horse here again, but how about a challenge where you have to make a sp map that has to last excactly for a pre set time. Like for example 3min 14sec?

    What you do with the player in that time is totally up to you: strap a bomb to the poor fellows chest and set a timer to it or whatever you like.

    Great idea! I would make it about a guy who can relive someone else's past but only the last 3min 14sec and he has to use that time find a bomb and defuse it and sex up a girl!!!!

    In all seriousness, I would enjoy that kind of a challenge. Anything not art related.

    i would make water slide level where the fixed distance takes that exact amount of time to traverse of course this would mean that obstacles cant stop you or slow you down. so the challenge /gameplay/fun has to come from something else.

    maybe you play cathloic priest and you have to pick up little boys with your lap and avoid adult woman.

    nah thats bad idea ... way too much character/rigging work

    Great idea, AtsEst, I think that and the Tutorial Challenge should be at the top of the list.

    So, work has slogged down running these (obviously) for the last few months. I'd like to start up again April 1 if at all possible, and try to settle into a more regular monthly schedule.

    Also, if anyone else would like to help run these things, it'd be great to have an extra hand and maybe alternate running challenges month to month so it's not so taxing. Anyone interested?
