The Addon DB Living on the Edge mapping competition was a great success with 8 awe inspiring entries received. After playing the maps and grading them on design and detail, picking the top 3 was a tough task. In the end the following winners were chosen with the first two both receiving a prize from the Mod DB Game Store.
1st Place DM-Alice
DM Alice is fast and fun as well as being a treat for the eyes. It plays great with bots, better with friends and is the winner of the living on the edge mapping competition.
2nd Place DE-Heavens
A creative style with an evenly balanced layout makes DE Heavens great fun to play and a good challenge for even the best teams.
3rd Place DE-Rift
Picking 3rd place wasn't easy and only after much discussion (and arguing) was DE Rift chosen for its innovative take on living on the edge, being: "you're living in a world on the edge of collapse." In DE Rift you play through 4 different themes all on one map, the screenshots don’t do the map justice.
Finally, thanks and well done to all contestants. The entries are top notch - so be sure to browse and play them @ Addon DB. Look out for the next competition coming soon!
What game is this maps for?
Source? hl2? ??
Looking good guys!
LORDDEREX > i believe the first one is for the karma engine (UT) and the other two are for the source engine (hl2, css and so on) but don't hold it against me :P
Awesome work indeed, it's all looking good :)
Congratulations to the winners. Glad I didn't enter, I would've been served up on a silver platter.
First one looks like UT2k4, the other 2 are Source engine (CSS judging by the name).
PS the engine is the Unreal (2.5 for UT2k4) engine. The Karma engine is the physics engine.
so whens the mapping and skinning comp? btw veg did you submit a map...if not i dnt really think u shud say that kinda stuff
I didn't post any maps, but I saw a few that were a hell of a lot better than these dickpenises.
Do you want to be banned?
I saw this earlier and wondered what game they were for. I guess all UT2004. That three in the third one though threw me off..screamed source.
ah also...
that heavens map would be a ******* awesome Pirates Vikings Knights map!
Swearing aside, these maps are most definitely not the best of the lot, possibly excluding DE_Heavens.
It was a Source/UT2K4 competition. DM-Alice is UT2K4, and the rest are Source.
They were rated not just on visuals but on gameplay.
These won.
Congrats to the winnars!
I'll have to give these maps a shot sometime. They look interesting. :)
I liked all the entries. Some good maps got left out. But i like the heavens map and the alice map.
Quote TKAzA: "They will be rated 1-10 on mapping, detail, use of textures, models and lighting. "
