Its not required, a background or a little something would be nice. But level design is the main goal.

Is there a deadline?
How are the entries judged (i.e. is it a vote or just your opinion?)

Awesome, invite some of your friends to the competition.


Also I'll be throwing in free VIP to my garrysmod community witch is for serious roleplay if you're into that. Ill even throw in a car for the top 5 people and a copy of garrysmod + CSS, server is up in December so it works well in coagulation with the competition.

I know that this competition is mainly judged on level design, but I think it should be judged on gameplay too, as gameplay and level design go hand in hand. level design makes the gameplay flow better and can create a sense of realism. just a simple map does not really cover all of the skills needed to be a level designer. a level designer needs to be able to make spawn rooms, effectively block the player from wandering off, and cleverly keep the player on the right track with use of lighting and entities. I think that the way the level design relates to the gameplay should be judged.

yeah, I know, I just feel that level design is more than a level being pretty, it's also about a level being playable in an actual game.

Just to ask, you don't judge the menus and loading screens do you? Just to know, that do I have to gall crazy and run on walls, trying to make the coolest menus ever.

It can contribute to the Effort rating I have put in, so does gameplay. Effort is a slight boost but can put you ahead.


Level Design Only - 3
Level Design + meh gameplay 3.5

and so on

By the way what's the requirement of the pc you will be judging the games on?

Just making sure so that we can make maps accordingly to the requirement.

good idea. I think a good idea would be, if you judge on a scale of 1-100, add in 3-5 points for every time the level design makes the gameplay flow better, or you notice yourself immersed in the static, as well as the dynamic world.
