Official Rules and Information Thread
Concept:
The concept is for FPSC game developers to produce a unique mini-game consisting of 2 - 4 levels within the boundaries of a 15x15x5 map. There is no genre requirement, so you can make your mini-game SciFi, Horror, War, Surreal, etc. It's up to you.

Rules are subject to change for purposes of clarity
Your
custom media must not pre-date 8/SEP/07. You may use stock FPSC media, commercial model packs
or free media from any source provided the media has a commercial use license. You must provide a copy of the license for any media used that was not
created by you or TGC.
You must have a minimum of 2 levels and a maximum of 4.
Each level must be no larger than 15x15x5 (LxWxH)
You may enter as many times as you like, however you may win only one prize, either Grand, 2nd or 3rd
You may enter as a team, but only one prize per team
You must submit your entry non-packaged. Zipped only for verification of files. You must submit your entry zipped or rarred.
Before we post a link to your game (after the winners are announced) we will give you the opportunity to submit a protected version.
All entries must be compiled and playable. No submissions will be accepted if they are not finished, polished games ready for playing. (This rule should be obvious, but I've found the need for it.)
