Can Sp maps be accepted?

Definitely.

The exact moment now I can rush a sp map for a quick buck. taco.map and the_wall.map will be there soon. (only two joke maps)

Planet flood c, d and e finally released?

Or are you still with your "Masterz need to apologize to reléase" idea?

Looking forward to submitting my map.

Almost 1 month left!

Also, due to the amount of interest shown, there are now also 2nd and 3rd place prizes as well as an improved 1st place prize.

2 weeks remaining!

C'mon Tucker, give another week, not all of us have time to spend making maps.

I've been too busy for almost 3 weeks now; just going to have 10 days to finish my submission! You can get it done.

altis should be disqualified

Voting has just opened!

God if only I had completed my maps in time...

Half of the people who entered didn't. That's why there is two demos and one beta.

Not going to release a less-than-perfect map. If the deadline was postponed, things would be different.

Well, we've opened a new monthly competition for asset creation:

>Monthly

Like how many submissions do you serisly plan on getting

We'll see. The mapping contest exceeded expectations, and a lot of people narrowly missed the deadline. An asset contest is more repeatable as it's less of a commitment, and more people make assets than make maps ...but of course this is all an experiment.
It's worth maintaining if there are at least 3 entries each month.

I mean I like the idea but when it came to something like CE3 we wanted to do it 2-4 times a year. We didn't so the one that we did would be a big event. Not just another thing.

I'd just cut down. Bi-monthly. Once a quarter. Etc.

Every 3 months is more acceptable nobody can make good maps in 1 month

Many did, and the ones with issues were either released very early in the contest, done in just the last day, or worked on for only about a third of the contest period.

Either way, the recurring competition won't be for maps.

Explain my maps.

Not to be a total jackwad but realistically speaking, making a full functional and well balanced map takes more than a month. SP is a bit wonky for the latter but thorough testing and understanding feedback of that testing is essential for both sides. A month simply isnt enough time to cut it unless you have people assisting you fulltime the entire way through

Hemoasis was about 1 month long. There was a point in which I didn't touch it for 2 weeks. Although, I didn't do any beta testing, etc. But yeah, 3 months is a good amount of time to spend on a map. It gives you time to fix any minor gameplay issues and visuals. I do think that an overall development pipeline of a level can save a massive amount of time.

Less than 3 hours 'till the game night for the maps entered: https://opencarnage.net/index.php?/topic/7222-game-night-for-map-competition/
