Welcome to Microcontest 11: Rule of Threes
...and if you order now you'll get not one, not two, but three simultaneous contests for the low, low price of free!
To honor the start of TF2M's 50th contest, we're running three at once all themed around the number 3. For this microcontest, your job is to make a map with three objectives in it in under 24 hours, according to the rules of the Major Contest found here: https://tf2maps.net/threads/contest-50-rule-of-threes.43624/
For full microcontest rules and submission procedure, check out the 2021 Microcontest Megathread: https://tf2maps.net/threads/the-microcontest-megathread-season-2.43572/
But wait! There's more! If you're looking for an extra challenge, don't forget about the optional goals on your microcontest punch card; the Speedmapper punch and the Bonus punch.
To get the Bonus Punch:
Make your entry fulfill the contest requirements by having 3 stages.
Remember, it will not always be possible to get both the Speedmapper and Bonus punches in the same microcontest!
Quick Info:
Difficulty: 3/5
Planning starts at 10:00 AM EST (15:00 UTC) on February 13th, 2021.
Mapping begins one hour later at 11:00 AM EST (16:00 UTC).
Maps must be submitted to this thread no later than 10:00 AM EST (15:00 UTC) on February 14th, 2021.
Testing begins one hour later at 11:00 AM EST (16:00 UTC).
Countdown to deadline found here!
NOTES:
Name your .vmf:
<gamemode>_<yourname>_mc11_a1
Only gamemodes that meet the requirements of the Major Contest will be accepted.
The Speedmapper punch only counts time working on geometry. Planning, compiling, bug fixing, lighting, logic, clipping, sealing, and other things that aren't physical playable spaces don't have to be done in the four hours.
Good luck!
