i agree
fuk people who dont dedicate all their time to contests and fuk slower mappers too
contests with six entries tops are the best contests anyway
Fuck it, give'em the extra
Yup, same here. Just been moving from one project to the next non-stop for months now.
Even though I've put in more time on my map entry than on any single modeling project I've had, it's still not even fully blocked out (and forget about detailing). Mapping takes a long time to get right. <shrug>
As I said, though, I've resigned myself to not meeting the deadline. An extension would at least let me submit an unfinished alpha/pre-beta. It's really up to you guys, it's not like I have a shortage of things to work on in any case.

I would also really love an extension.
I've tried to work on my map as much as possible since almost the beginning of the competition, but due to school work and my lack of experience in fast mapping I still haven't managed to finish a1, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one who's feeling a bit stressed right now. I've even been thinking of giving up entirely at this point and just finishing the map without the alien theme.

Okay, so here's the dealio with what we're doing.
Thanks to Bak and Egan for the quick suggestion, which we're going to implement.
The Deadline will remain Novemeber 10th, 2014. So you MUST have a working, compiled map submitted by then. However, there will be a ONE WEEK grace period, where you can update and change your maps as needed.
So, to recap: to be considered for the contest, you must have a WORKING, COMPILED MAP (not fullbright, working mechanics, doesn't crash, etc) by Novemeber 10th, 2014 at 7PM EST. If your map has been submitted by then, you are allowed to use the follow 1 week (until november 17th) as a grace period to work on your map.
I will keep the submission thread open for people to make any updates they feel necessary until Nov. 17th, when it will be locked. Any new submissions that were not submitted before the 10th will not be considered.
tl;dr: Submit your working map by the 10th, spend the next week polishing/cleaning it up.
Also, for those worried about the prop pack: the quality of the props will not affect your aesthetics score.

I know you want to control the art-style and stuff for this a lot, so I gotta ask.
Are you able to make a model for teleporters that work with the particle system? or would you prefer I make it myself.
A response asap would be appreciated.

Try your best to stay with the current artstyle if you create your own. If you can't make it, just do a brushworky thing or a placeholder, and I'll see what I can do.
(So make your own, stay with the artstyle, may be changed later)
