May Level Design Contest

[raptor]

Contest!

This contest theme is:
Storm the Castle

This may be a good opportunity to amaze us with that Core level you've been saving for just the right time...

RULES
Since karamazovapy is on hiatus, we will change the rules slightly. All rules are the same except for:

• PM your maps to me (raptor) directly. I am allowing PMs for the duration of the contest only
• At the end of the contest, all maps will be posted to the forums. If you have a problem with this, let me know and we can make an exception
• You may submit multiple entries

That's right! Enter in more than one map, and they will all be eligible for voting!

Remember: quality, not quantity

CONTEST PARTY

HUZZAH!...

[Skybax]

Are there any contest specific rules? Or does it just have to be medieval themed? At least, that's what I'm getting from the name.

[raptor]

No other rules.

GameType can be anything you want. Also liberal definitions of 'Castle' are accepted.

[Skybax]

Is there a bot available that just runs to the nearest wounded turret and repairs it? If no, can anyone quickly code it for me? I got this rad idea for a level for the contest, and it involves bots like this

If not, no biggie, I can work around it, but it would make it more awesome.

[raptor]

Your wish was my command. (And I wanted a fun coding project for a night..)

[Lone Wolf]

I'm not gunna submit this time. I can't think of a good "castle" map.

[raptor]

I still take one! Make it a base vs. base

[Skybax]

"Castle" is easy cause you just do what Raptor said (base vs base) but then put roundish things on the corners to look like towers
That is, if you don't have any other ideas.

Aww man... I dunno if I have the time with all the tests I got lined up... And that play date with my friends...

[Skybax]

I told my teacher that I made a level for a level design contest, and got to show the game to the entire class via projector.

He wrote down the date of the end of the contest on the Class Calendar

[raptor]

Wow. I guess I don't need to do the countdown...

I have received no entries over the weekend. What must I do to get more?

[Skybax]

Threaten to eat kittens.

[bobdaduck]

I am unable to get a level done because I have duties up the wazzoo this week. This includes graduating high school. Sorry.

Haay I'm graduating too! -fist bump-

Congrats you guys!

[raptor]

If I'm going to end up with so few submissions, should I postpone the date another week?

[Little_Apple]

if it will get more entries then sure.

[Skybax]

What if I can get my class to make some levels and then I can PM them to you?

[raptor]

Yes, of course!

Please include the author of the map so I can properly attribute it after the contest

[raptor]

We have 6 entries now!

You now have 2 Days left, plus a few hours...

[sam686]

[raptor]

Contest ends Tonight

Although if you don't finish your map by midnight, I'll probably still accept it by tomorrow morning... maybe.

We have 9 entries now - I would still like to get more!

[raptor]

Level submission is now closed. (Unless you really, really want to send me that awesome map.)
