We have to start simple. And have a tight deadline. So here it goes, you have two weeks to make a level based on a desert island. BUT... you have a size limitation of 2048 x 2048. Here's a vmf you can download to start yourself off, it might look familiar. www.mediafire.com/?0zhqnzz0z2mOf course, the theme is up to you. Will it be a basic island? full of huts? full of world war 2 bunkers? will it have a MOUNTAIN? The choice is yours. YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 11th OF SEPTEMBER TO MAKE A MAP. It will be judged on looks alone by some judges (Including my Mum, so make sure she's not disappointed!). Feel free to make it for what ever game you like. Oh, and you will get points for this, which will tally up and we'll have a nice competition ranking going on as more competitions spring up. Once the map is made, upload a link to it in this forum topic, along with your name and youtube channel if you want some publicity.

I chose not to focus on gameplay because
A) Everybody will be making it for different games B) The more you focus a competition, the fewer entries there will be. C) I like everybody telling me how much of a noob I am because I don't realise that gameplay is important. They also tend to be the people who haven't ever finished a map.
As long as this helps people to make a map, it doesn't matter. I find that with games that I make it's always the simple, stupid ideas that end up becoming the best. I'm sure that some entries will be built up far more than the makers expected them to be.

Respect. Love.
Upload it to a site, (mediafire would do, fpsbanana if you actually think it's worth people downloading and playing) and post a link to it here.
Miketoast, it's an island competition, it can only be an island in that 2048 x 2048 space.

What game is this for CS:S or Hl2 / Hl2 DM? It would be cool to make it hl2 so if people wanted to they could make an NPC battle ?

It's based on looks, so the game chosen doesn't matter. Neither does the gameplay. Let's have a successful competition with one key element before we attempt more, hmm?

I'm Zally13, and I think I'll be joining. Do we need to have the island a certain size or can it be as big as we want? Will it be based on one picture, or the actual in-game look? Any response would be appreciated.
