Map Battle #21 - Beautiful Decay

Postby Jest@ on Wed Nov 14, 2007 12:57 am

Well, here it is, Map Battle 21! I know you're all super-excited and super-keen (all 3 of you ;)) so it's time to get cracking!

The theme this time round is (drumroll please)...Beautiful Decay. What does that mean? Whatever you think it means. Let's see those creative juices flowing. Show us how time has taken its toll on a location, or how something gorgeous comes from something awful. Something like that. Aim for visual quality, but also innovation.

We'll be sticking with the regular format for now: 3 screenshots, as good as you can make them. Watch out for special-format battles coming to a forum near you soon .(using the valve-time definition of 'soon') If anyone wants to do something different with this battle - like, two people battle it out from a shared template, or any other wacky ideas you ker-azy kids come up with - I'd be more than willing to supervise the ensuing brawls :D

Rules are as usual, see the sticky for details. If you're able to, you're more than welcome to use the new SDK. Let's see dem episode-2 landscapes :D

This contest will run until the end of Tuesday 11th December, giving you 4 weeks, and ending just in time for the winner to feel a warm, fuzzy 1337 glow over Christmas. For the end-time around the world, click here

I hope that's everything, if not, ask below or PM me. This theme was inspired in equal part by Dragonfliet and Killa-Cow - an occurrence so unlikely that I'm afraid to speak it out loud, lest the universe collapse.

Beautiful Decay?
Wasn't that the slogan of the design team behind Gears Of War?

Even so,
I couldn't be more in.

I like this idea, although it seems pretty similar to the War and Peace battle. But I'm just happy we finally started another battle.

I've got an idea that actually probable won't take long to make, so I might enter this. Might even make multiple vingettes (one vmf of course!)
