So, I granted myself with the powers that be the
authoritarian charisma to suggest a new SnarkPit mini competition; you know,
something that more people could get involved with. But alas, I have no
creative backbone to suggest any ideas of my own, and I feel it's just too late
to bother searching the old competition threads for lost ideas that were never
seized upon. So, I turn to my fellow Snarkers to reach back in the recesses of
their minds to come up with some awesome ideas.
But to help you along, I've come up with some simple guidelines that you can
follow whether you choose to or not. Remember, this is a MINI
competition, no full blown multiplayer or singleplayer maps here.
*time to build entry shouldn't be longer than two weeks, small maps don't require a long time to build!
*Think of ideas that could be contained in an inside environment rather than outside. We don't want mappers to waste their time building scenery rather than fleshing out their idea!
*The idea should be able to be constructed in sp or mp games. Meaning that we probably shouldn't stick to a specific game mechanic because not everyone may own the orange box nor ep1 even. So this means no ideas requiring NPCs.
*Perhaps maps that illustrate the mechanic with dev textures is sufficient enough, or is a scene required to give atmosphere and setting for such a mechanism?
-And that's all I can think of (phew, that was tough!). All I know is that I'll be in on this competition for sure; I need to finish SOMETHING! But I think we're open to just about anything here, so have at it!
