Right.

Not just a few obvious placeholder pieces of art, we're talking about enough art that it's unfair to new participants.

I'm trying to figure out where that leaves me, considering the workshop version of my map has not been updated since the last contest, and it had some custom textures that I've since replaced and not published. It was left in a WIP state ever since. Frankly, the current version doesn't look anything like it does in the workshop version. Does this disqualify me? I'm not trying to stir things up or poke holes, but it made me curious on what happened, since last time the rules were more flexible, and it was all about getting the best maps out there. A contest like this can truly never be fair for a multitude of reasons

We're going to be enforcing our rules. People should err on the side of caution.

This gives me a reason to actually finish Kaizen, since it hasn't been released and hasn't been finished does that mean it's still eligible!?

If it hasn't been released you're good.

Really really cool, I was hoping the big thing FMPONE was talking about was exactly this. I was craving to work on my map this summer, so that seems like a good match. Only bad thing is I have to learn Blender after 10 years with Maya, oh well, challenge accepted

Good stuff! Looking forward to see all the maps coming out from this!

My apologies, I'm not a native speaker so I'm not sure what this means practially. Since I will be finishing my map regardless wheter it's eligible for the contest or not, should I enter it and await judgement on eligibility?

PM me with your map that you're wondering about, or post more info here?

RIP new operation. Won't have time for that

Yes! Another opportunity to make another greybox

Hi Guys. Can you confirm if the above would be valid considering we were planning fully retheming and re-arting the map (sans reusing a couple of assets) and uploading as a new entry? It's the equivalent of re-greyboxing the map and building it back up in a different style.

Thanks

Not eligible.

MMmh is Arizona could run into this contest ? May be a good opportunity to finish it !

It's simple guys, if it's further along than a simple greybox, it's probably not eligible.

This would be the last uploaded WIP version.

That'll be another nope then

Correct.

Unfortunate. Got very excited at first since the last released version is far from complete in the sense it's been worded. But I'll leave it at that, c'est la vie.

That weird moment when Valve will drop the source 2 update rendering everyone's work useless... !

Finally some clear cut rules for this contest. Congratulations for that!
