Contest idea thread!

[Hyperion]

Let's have a realistic idea: landscape contest. Make as stunning and beautiful scene as you can

 

[Another Bad Pun]

I propose a normal map contest
make whatever map you want and submit it for judging - no restrictions in gamemodes, collabs allowed

or
do the Dynamic PL contest again

I'm talking about a contest that isn't 3 days long

The alternative gamemode contest
This is my idea for a contest where you can only make a map that is the one of the following
Gamemodes:Tc,Pass,Sd,Medival,Arena,Pd and Rd
I already posted a idea like this but this post is more refined I think this contest would give these gamemodes more love I would really hope this idea becomes official ​

The end of Assy2 contest is getting nearer and it is time to start thinking about the next contest.

How about
The Custom gamemode contest?

A contest in which participants use one of selected custom gamemodes to make a playable map.
There are quite a number of good custom gamemodes in the download section just buried and left untouched.
It would be nice to get some of them highlighted as a result of this contest.

Not a super original idea but another artpass contest could be fun.
I for one suck at general layout, I/O, and scaling; so I'd welcome a contest that highlights good detail work.

 

[Etasus]

I feel like we should do another BATT... It would be great fun, especially for someone like me, that absolutely hates making payload maps, as the track always ends up being flat...

 

[athena]

Maybe one for newer mappers?

 

[Micnax]

How about another artpass contest? Would Valve be up for that again (if they have a spare map lying around in pre-detail stage)?

 

[Crowbar]

How do you decide who is a newer mapper?

 

[Hyperion]

Crash is pretty new

Crash is pretty new

Never heard of him, must be a chump

That's what I was going to say. The new mappers who came after 2011 would really like to try it out.

 

[Etasus]

I personally want another BATT

The artpass contest had one glaring problem: Everyone who entered and didn't win had a map that no one would ever play, no matter how good it was. And that was after ending up with twice as many winners as we had planned. Usually if you don't win a contest, hey, at least you made something and it might still be worthwhile or at least you could always improve it.

I personally treated it as much-needed detailing practice, but we got some damn fine entries that will never get played again. Hell, we got some damn fine assets that will never see the light of day anywhere else, too, although that's mainly the entrants' fault.

 

[Diva Dan]

The issue would be lessened a little by the fact SFM exists now and I'm sure people would love using the other detail entries as set pieces for their stuff. People also really like remixes of maps they love, like abandoned upward, so if you put it on the workshop people will eat it up even if it isn't a winner. That's just what I think

 

[Micnax]

Yeah the workshop exists now, it'll make it a little easier for those maps to be discoverable even if they lost.

It's like the good side of the billion of 2fort rethemes.

 

[athena]

(shit wrong thread)

Putting this out there, since Pi day is coming up we should have a 3.14 hour contest B)
