is it still the french short, the second hint?
Btw @Minos I don’t have problems with niche movies ? I was the only of my friends to see 13 Tzametis (b/w french) or sole Korean movies (original language with subs).
But I’m just mindful of the vary varied audience… I could post very famous Italian movies that even influenced international directors, and I’m sure nobody would guess them.
Wanted to add to my post…
@grapen sounds to me there might be some miscommunication in terms, regarding the grey box argument. I do agree with Shawn that probably many people have stuff lying around that they’ve abandoned cos they “didn’t feel it” at the time. I think of it as very rough drafts that you maybe have never even compiled. Sounds like you think of something way more ahead, like when Santorini was being tested and the map was untextured but looked very final(?).
@text_fish yeah the problem is that if you are in bad faith you can find a way. Say you have a shell lying around, as long as you have done your homework and kept versions you can easily make it appear that you just started on it.
as @FMPONE points out is very hard to check/enforce this stuff.
Is it such a bad thing to enter with something that was untested? You might have to change it completely anyway.
i dunno, as soon as you try to cover all angles you find ways to go around, I’m more for a bit more generic rule and leave it to the fair play and honesty of members. If there’s something blatantly recycled then one could raise it and judges decide.
I think the increased money gives a good chance to have a new category, if that was agreed I’d do: main prize pool for new maps, the extra prize money goes for maps that have already been entered in previous contests and just need polishing/refining/small layout changes.

On another note, @FMPONE interesting idea that of a loose theme but wonder if would be interesting to take it even further and have a proper brief like LD get when working in a company.
Hope any of this makes sense

Everyone can vote, have you voted?
Mine was towards fresh maps, saying that remakes or maps started could be admitted if we find a way, suggesting a different category.
I don’t know why there’s even a concern about staff participating. I can’t believe that anyone would question the judges integrity, in our community.
I know it’s a standard rule in any contest but I feel we know each other and this kind of scheming is not part of our community 
Just fucking bonkers you can shoot from a tank you have suspended in the air with balloons
The problem with “modern engines” is that you are not level designing but creating a game completely. Yes sure, you can create a theme like The Door, but is not something you can find funding because is not to be added to an actual commercial game.
The UT contest did have a lot of participation.
On the topic of having professionals, in a forum where most people are themselves professionals, I quite struggle to see we can’t get some of that talent to judge. Sure people wanting to participate or that are stuff working for studios could drop an email inviting the seniors to judge?
If is CSGO would it make sense and be possible to at least try and invite a couple pro players? Seagares has been collaborating with Faceit and there are people like N0thing that have always tried to help aspiring pro players, with many of these ex champions/stars now focusing on streaming guess they could find the time?
Congrats to @jd40 and @FMPONE, their maps already got promoted to competitive!
Full update analysis from 3kliks
New season coming this January
Haven’t watched any of the streams (obvs) but I guess it’s concerning/suspicious that to release date they still have never released an official walkthrough(?). The release trailer is still cinematic
Actually another random beta-key YouTuber has come up on my page
Quote from Radu49 minutes ago, Radu said: Cause you've played the best coop zombie game already and everything else that comes out is just a lesser experience of L4D. I think Overkill's TWD goes pretty well hand in hand with the current state of the tv series.
Actually I haven’t. I bought it (4x pack!) then never managed to play with anyone (my pc broke at the time).
When I got round to it (after L4D2 release) I tried one night online and uninstalled, didn’t like.
I played a session in local coop of L4D2 and was fun because I was with my friend, I wouldn’t play as I play CS.
Also I think a game like this should have a much slower pace. If I was making a zombie game wouldn’t be a L4D clone.
The most interesting aspects of the game condensed in a video
Since there are some 2D tools/resources mentioned in here, I’ll drop this that has come up on my YouTube: a free alternative to Substance Designer that seems to be doing a pretty good job!
As devs are you angry about this fan reaction?
Who doesn’t like Queen?! ?
Yeah the trivial typos made me wonder as well… can’t believe the payday devs would mess up so much.
Why is soo difficult to make a proper TWD game??
Wow, why is it so difficult to make a decent zombie game these days?
