February Level Design Contest Theme

[karamazovapy]

Since February is such a short month, and since things are so quiet around here, and since the next theme is epic, I've decided to inform you early and give as many people as possible time to work on an entry!

This month's contest theme is: AWESOME

Design a freakin' awesome level. We're talking about the sweetest, most awesome level ever. If that's not possible, aim for making the very best level you've ever made. If you're already so awesome that besting yourself seems impossible, then just make something generally fantastic. Rock.

You must submit:
(1) Awesome level.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Awesome is universal.

Note: Players are welcome to submit multiple entries, with the understanding that only one may be voting-eligible.

Maps must be PM'ed by:
11:59 PM, Thursday, February 17th.

Note that it is very likely that 015 will be out by the contest deadline. That will help by making everything just a bit more awesome!

This contest is awesome.

Awesome is this contest.

...just a reminder to think about what you want to design for this contest...!

I can sense use of the Awesome Smiley will be frequent in this Month's submissions.

In case there have been any doubts, I thought I'd let you all know that the prizes ARE real! Zoomber claimed his own VPS for winning the first BBB, and bobdaduck received one of these for collecting a whopping SEVEN contest victories! Food for thought...you could be the next big winner...

GAAaaahh!
TOo much to do too much to do

[karamazovapy]

I haven't received ANY submissions yet! Someone! Quick! Do something awesome!

[bobdaduck]

School is made of suck.

I will start eventually.

I have an idea that would require collaboration with a good designer, but I'm not sure I could get my part together in time... maybe, if I had an eager partner.

Anyone with good skillz want to work on my secret idea if you like it? (If you don't no obligation to carry it out...)

Well, I've tried a couple of ideas, and they turned out to be quite ordinary maps in the end. Apparently the spark of awesomeness is as elusive as its reputation would have it seem. In any case, I'm sending two alright-sort-of-cool maps in. Do so as well.

PS Wat, I'd love to hear your idea after the competition anyway... unless someone has taken you up on your offer, in which case I will probably see it instead.

[watusimoto]

I found a partner whom I believe is capable of carrying out the design I proposed. I'll be willing to discuss it further after the contest has been completed.

Me too Qui. I had a few ideas that I thought would be really cool, but in the end, they didn't come out so great. Still, who knows, somebody else might think differently!

ANNOUNCEMENT -
Because I've only received two "official" entries, I'm pushing the entry deadline back a week. I thought posting the theme early would help, but I'm guessing nobody even thought to start a level until this week. Anyway, the server will launch exactly a week late, with no "update" period. Voting will also be pushed back.

Original post has been updated.

[watusimoto]

You will definitely be getting at least one more level.

For what it's worth, I've finished my level but I haven't tested it thoroughly, so I'll hold off on sending it in until a later date.

Contest entry deadline tomorrow night!!
