    As long as it meets the criteria. And that sounds like it fits within what yours described, so I'd say you're good :)

    What Goat said. Since it's not an actual forge contest you don't technically need Halo 4, but that's what the designs should be based off of.

    I'll get to the rest of you guys in just a sec.

    For your first card, a good example you may find useful is Psychoduck's map S, which can be found here.

    Also, are we allowed to get feedback from others/the community on our sketches before we enter them?

    Yeah, this started to sound good until the ridiculous instructions.

    Instructions as in the specific criteria for each person? It doesn't have to be exact, that's why we tried to use the word "resemble" pretty frequently. Hopefully that'll make it seem a little less ridiculous?

    Right, it's not like you have to spend a ton of budget making a sectional sofa and an aperture logo. It doesn't really matter how it looks as long as it is actually part of the map and serves some kind of function beyond existing, inaccessible behind a glass wall.


    For example, if someone asked me to shape my map like my face, pillar (or small segments of wall) eyes and an angled wall for a mouth would be enough. No need for eyebrows, hair, nose, ears, beard, and whatever.

    Edited by merge:


    Yes. Feedback is always good.

    Well it looks like that's it! All 10 spots are already filled up. If there's still plenty of interest in participation, we'll be glad to come up with more to choose from. Just let us know so we can have an idea of just how many are actually interested.

    I've gone ahead and finished uploading the rest of the pictures, so be sure to check 'em if you haven't already.

    The rules have also been updated, check the OP for that.

    Oh boy I already got some good ideas. I love the idea of this. While some of the themes and such may be random I think it'll really spark people's creativity

    Mother of god. A moving train mechanism, I have no idea how to display that in a sketch. This certainly shall be interesting. And yes, I do plan to edit it.

    IN PAINT
    Just kidding.
    But seriously.

    Looks like this contest is about to be awesome.

    If you are interested in taking part in this contest, please say so, so know whether to create more constraints or not.

    what do you mean by distinct elements from prisoner and countdown? since it's a sketch, I guess it can't be aesthetic features.

    I don't even know what countdown looks like.

    also, what do you call lifts? gravity lifts?

    Countdown - Halo Nation
    Prisoner - Halo Nation

    By distinct elements, we mean a part of said map that distinguishes it from others.

    For example, a distinct element on Countdown is its multi-lift room, which each takes you to a different spot. That actually can go hand-in-hand with your other constraint, if you think about it.

    Yes, by lift, we mean Gravlifts.

    yeah, I made a search on countdown, and saw it was kind of a launch site. I should find a video to be sure. at first I thought it was that halo 3 map with missile silos.

    8 and 7?

    How do we know what the numbers are? Are we allowed to forge it out and test it first? Also, if we do that can we use it as the 3d design?

    Ah, sorry Blaze, they're all taken unfortunately. But depending on how many people still would like to participate, we'll most likely add more to choose from.

    This is what we meant by the train:

    For the sketch, I would just suggest using a path around 2 forge units wide, and then just find an interesting way to implement it. Hope that helps :)

    It's alright, we are coming up with constraints already, and will get back to you soon.
