We should really start with gameplay rather than visuals. I can't see how any of this makes sense. It's just so hard to make adjustments to a map in this stage. That alone might be why we see so little applicants.

I would suggest a competition to make a gameplay-based layout or alpha-map, and then pick the best of those to let people take a good layout and turn it into a visually interesting map. I don't know how other people would react to creating a gameplay-centric map for a competition in such a visual-oriented community, but I'd go for it myself.

Gameplay battle could have work if we did it the other way around... You failed 904... :(

I dunno, if I wasn't so pressed for time lately, I'd be trying this...

Can we start another map battle? I have an idea. How about we find/make our own concept art and then try to make a map out of it? Sorry for the MMMMMMMEEEEEEGGGGGGAAAAAAAA Bump.

Have anyone tried at all? If not, why not just start a new battle instead of waiting for deadline to expire? There's plenty of good suggestions. Watching these challenges are some of the most interesting parts of this forum.

If 904 is still busy, perhaps some moderator could help him out by taking care of the challenges until he's back.

PM'ed him. You can probably consider this battle closed.

It's not the first to have failed at least.

Well if no-one is interested, the maps had about 20 downloads each, so I assumed at least some people were actually working on something.
Major will start a new one...

Eventhough you're all playing around in a 1024^3 cube now, I'll just leave this one open just to make sure that all those 20+ people that downloaded the maps, can still submit their results... One day left.

I'm glad ya'll stepped up and took the challenge you asked for. Better next time. But probably not.
Now go work on your cube-thingy.
