Hi there! For those of you who do not know me, I am Fred lllll (five L's) and I have decided to hold a competition. There will be no prizes, it's an "if you want to do it" kind of thing. So what is the challenge? To build a recreation of a game as accurately as you can while maintaining good gameplay. Blockout and Layouts are up to you! Rules: -You may only submit your own maps. If you are caught stealing, your map submission will be DQ'd. -Your map must support good and fluid gameplay for whatever standard game mode you choose. -Your map must be based off an area from another game. it can be based on a different game such as but not limited to: Smash bros, Doom, etc. -You may NOT use an NSFW game as your base. I will judge the maps based on the following and scored accordingly: -Replay value = up to 20 points -Details = up to 10 points -Aesthetics/Eyeplease factor = up to 5 points -Similarities to original game = up to 25 points -Gameplay = up to 20 points -Layout = up to 10 points -Individuality/Standout factor = up to 10 points Your total score will be a sum of these factors out of 100. Submission Details: (post all of the required information here) -Forger/Co-Forger Name (If applicable) -Intended Player Count -Core Game Mode (Strongholds, Slayer, FFA, CTF) -Base Game -Images of Map -Images/Footage of Original -Link to Map Contest End: July 12th, 2017, Midnight (EST)
Designating 20% judging criteria for uniqueness and originality seems out of place in a remake contest. What if someone is making a faithful remake? Would that map be deducted 20% because it looks identical to the original map? There also seems to be some unnecessary overlap between your 'aesthetics' and 'visuals' criteria.
Sorry for the confusion. Uniqueness has been renamed to layout to better communicate the criteria. I also updated a bunch of the others to better clear up any confusions.
Exactly, your goal is to make a core gametype style of map that has a layout that is up to you. What you have to do is make it take place inside of another games location. --- Double Post Merged, May 14, 2017 --- I am glad to hear it zombie!!
-Forger Name: Jeff -Intended Player Count: 1 -Core Game Mode (Aesthetic) -Base Game: what? -Images of Map: -Images/Footage of Original: here -Link to Map: here
Zombie... Aesthetic does not encourage gameplay such as CTF or Slayer. Aesthetic on Forgehub is its own section and does not fall under core Secondly: Base Game = What Game is it from
It will be entered but will lose a total of 30 points automatically. 20 points will be lost for gameplay because it is not a core map. another 10 will be lost according to layout because again it does not match up. Both of those categories pertain to core and therefore are irrelevant to your entry but I will score it equally on all other grounds.
so far we have 5 confirmed contestants and 9 total possible contestants. I wish everyone the best of luck.
