Mapping Contest

[ihsan]

The deadline was extended but my first entry is completed today, June 30.

I post it now because
1. I want to inspire other entrants to also think "outside of the box".
2. I have no time map after today anyhow. So i may as well submit now.

Timeprism: The ancient technology has been unearthed!

Fully GPL, Fits snugly in a 2048 cube (although the lift is technically out of bounds at runtime )

Some feedback:
Neat little map, the layout is simple but interesting, I like how you worked into some cover in the middle part.

The light on the screenshot should be a bit higher, because as it is right now one bumps right into it when jumping around the upper level.


Also I found the map overall too dark, especially in the middle area.
Man, 2048x2048 seems to be really small

I hope it is ok to post this here, but you said testing is allowed, though this was more like a quick look

Cool idea, but as dIM mentioned the "Future"-version is much too dark. Also some hints on where the teleporters are and in which time-zone they teleport you are needed imo.

Your point is well taken but i'm done with this. The weird thing it that that it the very last light i threw in because although it is supposed to be night time the area was just too dark.
By the way, the three sides of the prism cycles you back (up), forward(down) or nowhere in time so you can go from any time to any other in just 1 teleport. I decided not to put any "instructions" on the prism because walking through the SAME side again takes you where you want to go if you missed. Besides a little confusion is cool.

is it allowed to post the maps before the deadline or must it be the 1st august?

[ihsan]

I have never heard of being disqualified because you submitted your entry too early.
Let me say that once you post it is final, no fixes and, of course, your competition can see what you did.
I'd rather loose to a truly superior map than win because everybody else was lamer. It's GPL man. No prize money.

everything should be GPL if only 1 maps is allowed chose the better one

*friendly-admin-edit: made the links work, the forum did not recognize the http without a space in front of it. But the second link still does not work, maybe its broken?*

I've been thinking about it and I have changed my opinion about posting being final. I now think that the MAPPER should have the choice to work openly or privately. It would ultimately result in better maps. We do need an official way to post maps, especially for people without hosting.
Just my opinion.
