    Have you ever wanted to be a part of the iconic story of Frankenstein? Have you ever wanted to take a ton of smaller parts, and stitch them together to form one hideously monstrous whole!? Have you ever wanted to lose countless hours of sleep contemplating the consequences of your decisions?!

    Well do I have news for you!

    Announcing the ForgeHub Super Collab. With your help, we're going to construct a map using parts from 35 unique forgers!

    Ascend, are you crazy? How are you gonna do that?

    Thanks for asking! Each forger that participates will create a prefab section of the map within a 64x64 area. They will have a 40 item constraint and will design their section to fit in with the map as a whole just like a puzzle piece.

    Ascend, why are you yelling so much? And how can we..

    STOP TALKING!

    -----------------------------------​

    Alrighty, here's the low down. We're going to create a BTB map using assets from 35 different forgers. In order to make this simple and easy, each participant will have a 40 item limit for their section of the map and each section will measure 64x64. There are also four styles of section each player can decide to make. The four styles resemble puzzle pieces and this is to ensure that sections of the map can be brought together cleanly. Forgers that want to participate will submit their sections by submitting in this thread as well as tagging their prefabbed section, "4chub Collab". Once all the submissions are received I will assemble the beast live on stream and we will play on it right after.

    The goal of this project is to have a little fun and promote some interaction here in our community. We're building this monster together after-all!

    -----------------------------------​

    What Do I Make?

    Like mentioned before, you must create a section of the map that measures 64x64, uses at most 40 pieces and that follows one of the four patterns below. Other than that, you have complete creative freedom in terms of theme and such.

    There is no overarching theme so do whatever you want!

    The section styles are these:​

    collab5.png
    (4-Way, 2-way, Corner, Ramp)
    4-Way: This is any section that allows players to freely move in the four cardinal directions.

    2-Way: These will force players to move in a straight line.

    Corner: These sections force players to make a turn. Corners do not need to be right-angles.

    Ramps: Any piece that allows for vertical movement to another tier. The ramp does not need to be identical to the example shown here.


    While the directions must be clear, you are allowed to fill out the space how you see fit. This allows you to add verticality and obstructions to the spaces.

    Want to design your piece to mesh with a friends? No problem! Be sure to include the info of who's section you would like to be merged to in the final build.

    -----------------------------------​

    How Do I Submit?

    To enter your piece into the collab, simply follow the format below:

    Gamertag
    Section Name (Section Type)
    Link to Prefab
    *Be sure to tag your file with the tag, "4chub Collab"
    ------------------
    Gamertag of Merge Preference (If Applicable)
    Their Section Name (Their Section Type)


    -----------------------------------​

    When Is The Deadline?

    It's soon! The deadline is Thursday, March 23rd by 5:00 PM CST. Given that this is not a huge project as an individual, this should be plenty of time to hammer this out.


    Questions? Comments? Concerns? Don't be shy! Let's build this monster together.

    MWAHAHAHAH MWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAA
