[Mapping Contest] 10 Years of Doom - Winners Announced

[Tarnsman]

 

Mapping Contest 2: Alfonzo's Adventures Continue

 

Jimmy did a thing for his 15th, I'm doing a thing for my 10th. 

 

IWAD: Doom 2
Texture Resource: Surprise Me
Deadline: May 3, 2021
Limits: 1 map per person
Formats: Any that runs in GZDoom or EE
Map Names: Alfonzo must be involved in the map name as part of his continued series of adventures (Example: Alfonzo Spends $5,000 On Gacha Trying To Pull A SSR Gary Ablett Jr. Archer Servant)

 

1st Place - $1,000.00 USD
2nd Place - $250.00 USD
3rd Place - $250.00 USD

 

(Maps can win multiple and maps that place in the regular prize ranks can win these as well)

 

Best Laugh - Map that amuses me the most - $100.00 USD
Less is More - Map that best demonstrates good quality over quantity - $100.00 USD
Best Theme - Map I think has the best theme - $100.00 USD
Most Tarns - Map that emulates me the most - $100.00 USD

Modular Bonus - For Whatever I Fancy - $100.00 USD

 

If you use custom textures/flats/assets they need to be packaged with your map file. I click. I play. No drag. If you include external resources, I will not load it and I will judge your map for how it is as the checkered landscape that EE or Zdoom displays it as. (I hear MTrop has some tools that supposedly make this very easy.)

 

• First and foremost have fun.
• There is no build time limit but I ask that you state what your build time was honestly as in the spirit of fairness I'm going to place a different weight on something made in 15 hours versus 150 hours.
• Please do not accidentally copy and paste things from your "inspiration folder" for your submissions. 
• Please do not fall into the trap of more = better. Generally speaking I will enjoy a map that does a lot with 100 monsters far more than a map that's a slog with 1,000 monsters. If you're going to submit a massive map, it should have a reason to be a massive map (i.e. it feels like a proper exploratory adventure, etc.)
• Please do not load your map up with every custom monster and resource under the sun.
• Please do not make very lazy joke wads. The best joke wads are good maps with the joke added as a bonus.
• While stealing other people's stuff is not allowed, if you know what shadowporting is and you want to shadowport say an old Suitcase of Gor map, that is allowed.

 

Same template for submissions as Jimbo's.

Post your submissions in this thread, or PM me, or e-mail them to me with "Mapping Contest" somewhere in the subject line.

Woah.

[Jimmy]

You absolute madman (of Gor).

[Altazimuth]

Educated-Guess Tip: If you're making a Boom-compatible map I would strongly advise testing in PR+ or Eternity, the latter tending to be Tarnsman's default for such things. Though the whole "Ports Tested" thing kinda resolves that somewhat.

Holy moly.

[notTyrone]

w o w  I concur with Jimmy's post.

[Juka]

Oh my that sounds like another great excuse to make a map :p

 

[Xenaero]

Dang. Good luck to all the participants! Some good stuff to come from this, for sure.

[Endless]

Holy fuck knuckles batman. This contest is going to be wild.

[GarrettChan]

The prizes of second place and third place are the same, which is killing me lol. You should make it 251 and 249 :p

 

Anyway, Tarns is throwing big to get some good maps out of this it seems. Good luck with everything about the contest.

[Biodegradable]

Another contest to celebrate a community veteran's legend and contributions? Oh boy!

[E.M.]

I participated in Jimmy's contest, so I might as well participate in this one.

[Alfonzo]

I swear to God if any of you swarming, nameless, ingrate weirdos profit off of making me undergo another fucking sex change you're going to foot the bill.

Ah, I see. This Alfonzo guy really gets around, doesn't he? ;)

[1Destro3456]

A 1,000 dollars first place? I just want to see what map wins because I want to play it, like if it gets 1,000 dollars then it must be good

[Obsidian]

I appreciate the girthier amount of allotted mapping time.

[Korozive]

Impressive prize pool tho second place should be worth a tad more than third but whatever it ain't my money.

[franckFRAG]

The price for the first place is indecent.

[Soulless]

I might give it a try.

[General Roasterock]

Oh my god he actually went with a four digit first place, this is going to be WILD.

[Jacek Bourne]

Interesting...

I love this suggestion.

[Astro]

This is very interesting :D 

Should i submit something?

[Final Verdict]

Well, that's a big old carrot on a stick if ever I did see one. This should be interesting.

[MDevlin]

I'll bite, I'm always down to build! It's been a minute since I've done anything in GZDoom though so this'll be fun.

Alas, I missed the opportunity to participate in the Jimmy contest, but I hope to take a part here (but I can’t guarantee).
This is a good time to go back to Doom mapping. I don't know what it will be, but I have only GZDoom-ish techbases in my mind...
