Song of Destruction Mapping Tournament
A Chaos-Project Community Game
Welcome to the Mapping Tournament! We invite you to show off your mapping skills and participate in developing the mapping style for Songs of Destruction!
Tournament Rules:
Round 1 (3 - 30 days):1. Create a series of maps for the zone.
2. Upload your maps to a filehosting site (if it is not on a permanent site, pm me (winkio) the link and I will host it).
3. Discuss the good things about the style in each submission.
Round 2 (continues indefinitely):1. Refine your maps, or create new ones, borrowing from the styles presented in each submission.
2. Upload your maps to a filehosting site (if it is not on a permanent site, pm me (winkio) the link and I will host it).
3. Discuss the which submissions are good enough to be put into the game, and which are not.
4a. The people who have submissions that are voted to be good enough to be in the game win! They receive a Songs of Destruction Mapping License, and are allowed to work on any future mapping tasks for the project.
4b. The people who have submissions that are not voted to be good enough to be in the game may continue to refine their style and resubmit as many times as they want. The only people that lose are those that give up completely.
Mapping Zone:
1. The zone must have an entrance from the east (plains kingdom) and exits to the north (plains corruption zone) and southwest (mountains/caves).
2. The zone must force the player to go to the corruption zone before heading to the mountains/caves.
3. The zone should have something to make it interesting - puzzles, challenges, small villages, hidden routes, treasures, etc.
4. The zone may include enemies in the form of events with character sets, but no actual battles are allowed to take place. Enemies and NPCs are entirely optional, and do not need to be included if the mapper does not want them.
5. Partial/unfinished submissions are accepted, so if you don't have time to finish it, just turn in what you have. It is possible to get a temporary license with a partial submission, which will allow you to take on exactly one new mapping task. If you complete the task well, you get a full license, if not, you have to retry.
