Contest idea thread!

Asymmetric maps for symmetric gamemodes would be fun.

I hate symmetry.

This would be a real challenge.

Its a contest.

You could just make a whole regular map and then rotate it 45 degrees.

That doesn't get rid of right angles, however.

After seeing an increase in Crates / shipping containers, I think we should have an all crates contest!

I have a serious idea: Follow the map.

Design a level that fits the map from the loading screen.

It is abstract enough to allow for creativity, but has enough content to make it directed.

not entirely sure what you mean by this ^^ are you talking about when you join the game and see the map shots on the bulliten board and then you want to follow it in game? Well depending on the complexity of the map you would also need to have pictures of in on walls in spawn rooms or something.

What would be the goal because it sounds interesting.

I am talking about the literal map on the loading screen. The one with a dashed red line and a dashed blue line meeting at the point designated with the TF2 logo.

The map would have a river crossing, and you would have to be somewhat realistic about the height of the landscape because it is defined on that map...

Could be interesting.

Just a lil' late dude

CompCTF was a fun contest, I wish people wouldn't hate on CTF so much :c

Christ, lets just have a TC contest already

Actually, this is a good idea. I'm not going to suggest anything else until I see this happening.

What if we could maybe, just maybe make a TC map that makes sense to players so that they like the game-mode again?

 

[Seba]

With the amount of people that entered (and are actually participating in) the MvM contest, I don't think we'll be doing TC anytime soon :v

 

[phi]

Yeah, we need another contest that is accessible enough for a bit more people to enter. It's not much of a contest when the competition is between 6 or so entries.

I've suggested a plethora of idea's for it. It has been chatted about.

The TF2M TC contest would be like releasing HL3. Everyone knows its coming, and is willing to play it no matter what stage they are in. Set the rewards high enough, time length long enough and provide all the testing needed (with proper feedback) and you'll be good to go.

Allowing for collabs of like 2-3 people would work too.

EDIT: Also, providing all the needed resources and documentation would up the amount of entries you get significantly. A lot of people don't do TC because of the lack of documentation. Make a GOOD prefab, a guide, video, whatever... and you'll get a lot more people (Also, advertise to the right places).
