POLL: The next MapCore challenge...

[KungFuSquirrel]

Let's vote! I grabbed the top 3 challenge suggestions from the discussion thread, as I imagine they'll still have the most support.

I'll let this poll run through the weekend, then we can sort out start times/rules/etc. Let's try to keep things a little simpler this time, eh?

I think the earliest we'd start anything would be Feb. 19th - that gives us almost a month since we wrapped the 20 Brush Challenge, and hopefully will be enough buffer time for everyone.

Discuss!

Edit: I suppose I should describe the three a bit better...

1024^3:

- Build an entire level contained within a 1024x1024x1024 cube

3 512x512 textures:

- Build a level using a maximum of 3 512x512 textures

Doorway gameplay:

- Using a pre-built door frame, come up with and script a clever way to get through a locked door.

i voted for the doorway, but i'd like to stress that i would want to abstract the doorway to "get inside the building", and a template building front is given, without textures. the door in itself is not nearly interesting enough and does, in my opinion, not provide enough possibilities and means for being creative.

if we do a scripting heavy challenge please have the template in unreal or cryengine where scripting doesn't become an i/o nightmare :S

Voting for the door just because I think you're going to be really surprised.

i'm sure you could script something interesting up, but my point is that it shouldn't be a challenge entirely left to scripting.

But scripting is FUNE!!!

you can still script in my version... so let scripters script, designers design and haters hate.

I remember the first 1024x3, that's something I really want to do

For the 3 textures, does this include normal, spec, etc... ?

[SamCom]

I'm leaning towards the 1024^3, I missed out on the first one. Would the 1024^3 level have to be a deathmatch level?

[Jetsetlemming]

the 1024 box feels like it's been done before.

It has; we ran it here in 07. Numerous other sites have done it too. But, it's a classic!

I voted for the door, sounds like a good design test

The 1024³ isn't limited enough while this doorway thingy is. It's cool to see how other designers tackle the same scenario, therefore... the door!

Voted for 1024 one. I think 3 521x521 contest could be fun as well.

[Minos]

3x 512x512 textures plz.

[AlexM]

i like the 512 one
