Is anyone Here entering the DM Mapping Contest?

[AgentXen]

I was just wondering how many people here are going to enter the contest. So far i dont see any good work, all i see is crap maps that were done in a few minutes. Unless everyone is like me and keeping the good shit for themselfs...for now. Or just finishing it up.

Entering contest. Keeping my shit to myself. =)

I have many ideas, I just don't know which one to choose for the contest. =)

 

[MrMan]

Am entering, just trying to get my head round the new features of hammer, not used it since the days of swat3 :\ will be keeping everything to myself though, save being ripped off

Yea, but when it comes down to who will will it's just the best mapper that will get the price. I mean two maps can be almost identicall but the best mapper will win the price because he will know what makes a good map a great map.

The better idea has a better chance of winning. Someone cna make an ugly map that's loads of fun, and likewise a beautiful map can suck.

If a really great idea were to be posted, but someone who is really good at mapping can make it purty, while the person who thought of the original idea releases his but it looks like crap.

I think it's best to hold your cards close to the vest, and lay them out when the game is called. Don't see how posting maps before the deadline is going to help anyone, you don't get points for publicity.

EDIT: damn, I can't even understand what I wrote! LOL!

There have been CS map contests before and I don't doubt there will be many more. Perhaps this could be sponsored by one of the bigger CS sites.

Anyway, I am doing the map for personal reasons, and not for the contest. I had a basic design in my head, and portions tested, before HL2 was even announced. Didnt' have the time back then, and once HL2 was announced, I decided to just wait until then. Now ther eis an contest and I'll just have to see if it cna be done by the deadline. I don't think it will, but if it is, I'll gladly spend any money I might win, and it gives incentive to get the map done and released for people to play.

Now if only I had much more time off....

I'll be entering for sure; I have a good surprise waiting. Hopefully.

I don't beleave you, tell us. =)

Damn, this is more hard then I tought, I mean. I have alot of ideas but to make them possible in a DM level is abit harder...

 

[DoctorGordon3]

I'm working on a 4th map, which will be entered. My previous maps cant not even compare to this one (as they were mere practice).

Also, this time i'm bringing in a long time associate as a consultant to assist, by the name of Doctor Simons.

Almost finished.

 

[Death.Trap]

Bleh, as soon as I get a decent idea..I think I've through about five. Although the one I'm on right now....hmm...if I can get it to turn out the way I want...(which it isn't so far.)

 

[beeglebug]

I'm entering, and to be honest if I was almost finished with more than a month to the deadline, i'd think I was doing something wrong

 

[switch]

There isnt a "Yes, I suck at mapping" option!

Heh well I may aswell enter a map but its doubtfull it will come anywhere close to the quality of some, cant wait to see all the entries.

 

[Shinobi]

I really wish I could,, unfortunately I suffer from the HL2 problems we've all heard of and cant play DM for more than 2 mins without a crash,,,

on top of that I'm level designing and coding for another project,, sucks cause I really want to enter,,,

 

[jmjneary]

i want a cs mapping contest

 

[MrMan]

I reckon ill take up till the end of the deadline, i've never mapped for HL before....I'm hardly expecting to win anything but its a lot of fun having a go

Almost finished? Damn you must be doing something wrong. I have just created like 10 testlevels and so far I've gotten nowhere, still spawning ideas and testing things. =)

 

[Nostradamus]

Entering because I'm cool

 

[Geronimous]

I'm not sure - I'll let some ideas float through my head. If I come up with something that convinces myself it could win - I'm game.

But I am having so much fun with 2 projects: Black Mesa:Source and my own CS:S map, I don't think I'll have time for it! I'm not much of a DM fan too btw...

I can't, I am not 18. /o\

 

[slicktick]

I feel the poll is biased, I dont suck at mapping, yet I am not entering the contest, stupid poll.

 

[sabre0001]

Entering if I can get my head around these new features in Steam - they sounded so good til it came to practice. Only got a good idea now and I haven't had much practice so I'm expecting this to go disasterously well...

Almost finished. I had the idea as soon as HL2DM was announced, and started work on it a few days ago. It'll be done in the next day or two (gameplay tweaking, visual improvements)

Truth.

You have to be 18. I hate the world.

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I have ideas... and want to enter...


But I really need more time to map...

 

[monkey monkey mo]

I would like to, but i've spent a week just getting one room *perfect*, and i've got coursework due in the very same day as the compo deadline! :|
