"The Mappening": a Classic-Horror Themed Mapping Contest, Oct1-Nov3

[sixbyseven]

Hi again Mapcore-ians!

 

I'd love to catch your creative interest in a new "Mapping Contest" I am holding, once again. The theme this time is "Classic Horror" and ought to be lots of fun! 

 

Don't Panic! If you are used to mapping with Hammer, Quake or Unreal, using ProBuilder/Prototype in Unity will feel right at home, I promise. I know many users here are not Unity users, but I would love to see your awesome-laser focused on this contest. Having lurked about these forums for a long time now, and constantly being impressed by what everyone is creating, I would be honored to have you give this a try!

 

Also: you can pick up Prototype for free (http://bit.ly/10l171V), give it a go and I think you will be mightily happy with it's simplicity and speed for level design. Dare I say even better than Hammer, Unreal, and Quake?

 

Thanks everyone, details below!
(ps: the "official" thread will be the Unity Forum version, at http://bit.ly/1qSSdxH)

"The Mappening" Halloween Mapping Contest is LIVE!
... (live, I tell you!)

We are long overdue for another Mapping Contest, and Halloween is always a great theme- perfect timing, and we hope to see many people participate this month!

The theme for this contest, naturally, will be "Horror", with an emphasis on old-fashioned, classic style (but not required). Cabins in woods, dark catacombs, haunted cathedrals, and sinister, gloomy mansions, or anything else you can imagine that might terrify easily-spooked children and questionably-grown adults.

Moving on to the specifics:

Timeline: October 1st through November 3rd
(that's right- I'm giving you time to push through that Halloween-hangover, and finish up by Monday night!)

Prize: Fame and Glory! Also, the following:
1st: ProCore Complete Bundle
2nd: ProBuilder
3rd: Any other single tool we offer!

WIP Prizes will also be given out every week, for the best WIP images!

Rules are fairly simple:
1) DO talk about The Mappening
2) Honestly, please do talk about The Mappening, and spread the word!

...ahem.

1) Your map must be primarily made with Prototype or ProBuilder. You can download Prototype for free, just for the contest! Here's the link: http://bit.ly/10l171V

2) Any detail meshes you use, must be your own, or available for free.

3) You may use purchased textures, image effects, etc

Submitting Your Map:

Please submit:
1) Webplayer running at 1280x720
2) At least 5 screenshots, at 1280x720 or 1920x1080
3) A list of all purchased items used in your scene
4) Your Forum name

Send these items to "contact@procore3d.com" with "The Mappening" in the subject.

Judging:

Maps will be judged based on adherence to the theme, look and design, as well as involvement with the WIP thread here- please post WIP shots, offer critique, and help encourage others!

Questions? Ask 'em here!

Good Luck Everyone, and Have Fun!

Do we only have to make a scene/environment ? or is there any gameplay elements to add ?

[mjens]

Nice! I'll write a word on LD.org about that soon!

Just the environment, and then build out a webplayer so others can give it a try. If anyone needs help on that, just let me know!
