Every mapper starts from somewhere. Whether it was building multi-colored castles out of Unspecified Building Blocks, or toying around in an engine they would use for another decade. Regardless, everyone has that first project of theirs, and that's what this Gameday is all about.

I want YOU! to send me the first TF2 map you've made/released. Either in this thread or in a private message to @Startacker! , submit YOUR first FUNCTIONING TF2 map. A day or two before the gameday, a list and download pack will be posted with every entry for your ease of playing.​

SUBMISSION NOTES

1. Maps submitted must be yours, if you want to submit someone else's map, have them submit it OR get permission before submitting.

2. Maps need to be fully functional. This means both teams can win, the map isn't fullbright, etc. (Essentially what I'm looking for is your first actual map)

3. Maps do NOT require a gamemode prefix or version suffix. In the case that map names DO overlap (god help you), first come first serves.

4. This isn't serious testing, this is just for fun. If you need to get your actual first map tested, join our Discord!

5. Direct downloads only, no Steam Workshop

6. Maps should be designed for standard 12v12 playing. This means gamemodes such as MvM, Surf, Trade, etc are not allowed​

I have some early maps I made as a kid that are already on the server (I’ll put them in their original chronological order. Some of these I had to recompile a few years back.)

Adding onto Guideline 4, I won't be accepting maps from new map makers. This isn't meant for serious testing, and I'd rather new mappers focus on improving their projects, rather than submitting them here.

Hey cool event.

Here's my contribution. The first playable version of koth_falls/koth_uzaugi recompiled for 2019.

koth_falls_p2


This version was still during "bot testing" phase, and only the later versions would be uploaded and tested on tf2m. https://tf2maps.net/downloads/uzaugi.1635/

Well great, my first map was a trade map so I guess I'm out of the picture.

My first functionning map has been lost through time. so here the first published one (I know that it's only made back in sept 2018) https://tf2maps.net/downloads/factlock.7041/

(the only video showing that it existed is one my youtube channel btw, not gonna post link since it lacked spawn doors and was full bright for the video. (light had been added later))
