Map Battle 28 - Dream

Postby Jest@ on Tue Sep 30, 2008 11:56 pm

Dream.
The third of the Endless.
Good or bad, enlightening or mundane, inspirational or terrifying; no matter what, dreams are powerful.

So, come and show us just how powerful they can be! The theme for this map Battle is Dream - create a scene in a Source game that evokes the strength of dreams - and, let's not forget, nightmares are a kind of dream...;) However, one thing to keep in mind: entries must have a dream-like quality: not just any old scene can be entered. The aim is to specifically evoke the feeling of dreaming. Bonus points to anyone who models Sandman and maps a Sandman scene ; )

It's a fairly wide theme, and I'm really looking forward to see what you guys do with such a wide space to let your crazy - let's be honest, terrifying - imaginations run wild! This battle will finish in a little under 3 weeks, on Tuesday 21st October. The precise closing time is midnight at the end of that day; for the closing time around the world, check here.


Rules? Up to three screenshots, from an official Valve Source Engine game. Custom content is allowed - indeed, encouraged; maps that have been in a Map Battle before are not allowed. For fuller, precise details, check the rules thread. Wanna suggest a theme for the next battle, or got any other comments? let your voice be heard in the suggestions thread

Post your screenshots in this thread before the deadline, and you'll be entered into the vote! Please submit your screenshots as reasonably-sized JPGs, I've had a few PNGs and crazy-large images recently!

We all love seeing the entries take shape, so you're more than welcome to post work-in-progress screenshots; whether for advice, technical help, or just for self-aggrandizement :) Please remember though, mark your screenshots as WIP of Final so I can quickly gather them up - if necessary, go back and edit your previous posts.


As always, if you need to check anything with me, PM me.
Can't wait to see what you guys cook up! Good luck to you all!

Jesus, I don't remember any of my dreams. Maybe I'll set my alarm clock for like, 3am and hope I wake up remembering some dreams. I heard somewhere that disrupting your sleep cycle makes you remember better...

How come everyone always automatically thinks Krem will win... I'm not even sure if he's going to make an entry, he hasn't the last fwe battles and said he was focusing on a mod and school.

I have the weirdest dreams, but they do not play out in one scene. I'll have to think for this.
