Twisted Reality

Prologue

After the success of our previous mapping contests we've decided this month we ought to try something different... something a little bit crazy!

Create a map (for any PC game) that blurs the boundaries between reality and madness!

This months mapping contest is something a little different, in that your maps don't have to make sense -- In fact the crazier the better!

The task is to create a map with a twisted view on what's real, and blurs the boundaries between reality and madness!

As usual maps will be judged based on the following
criteria.

- Technical ability required to create the level.
- Overall aesthetics and ambiance.
- How well the map sticks to the theme.
- Amount of effort required to create the map.
- Use of custom content (textures / props etc)
- Gameplay & Completion

Check out our image gallery for a whole load of inspirational maps & images!

How about?

Weird floating objects?
Crazy lines and shapes?
Moving or invisible walls?
Secret hidden areas?
Exponential nothingness?
Un-even walls and floors?
Multi-directional gameplay?

Let your imagination run wild! - We'll return to a slightly sane-er topic next month :)
