Classic of the Month Stream – Anti-Climax – March 2021

March’s Classic of the Month is quite recent in the scheme of Half-Life mods: Hezus’s Anti-Climax from 2019.

The stream is this weekend, Saturday March 27th, about 12pm (noon) Eastern US Time (4pm in the UK, 5pm Central Europe). Note the time shifts are an hour different this month since the US is already on daylight saving time.


Twitch is again the streaming platform! The stream will be on the RunThinkShootLive Twitch Channel.

ElevatorVille 2 – 48-Hour Map Labs Atom #9 Mapping Challenge Announcement

Same week, another Ville! ElevatorVille 2 starts now!

The original ElevatorVille was a 10-day mapping challenge run way back in 2012. That challenge had some specific rules, but this one is much easier: just make a map that features an elevator!

The second Ville in the Map Labs Atom Week begins right now!

This Atom challenge only runs 48 hours – maps are due 10pm Central U.S. Time on Saturday, March 20th. Go map!

Bonus maps (which can’t win but are judged and scored) are accepted until 3 days after the end of Atom Week (March 24th).

Theme Details

Here’s the official announcement (click for full version):

And if you’re not already there, join the Map Labs Discord for good discussion & a great mapping community.

Deadline

The deadline for submission is Saturday 20th March 2021.

AscentVille – 24-Hour Map Labs Atom #6 Mapping Challenge Announcement

A brand new Ville theme! Did you ever think you’d see the day?

AscentVille was a never-used idea back in the Hammer Cup days. Finally, it gets to see the light as the first challenge in the Map Labs Atom Week, starting now!

The challenge only runs 24 hours – maps are due 10pm Central U.S. Time tomorrow – Monday, March 15th. Get mapping!

Bonus maps (which can’t win but are judged and scored) are accepted until 3 days after the end of Atom Week (March 24th).

Theme Details

Simple: make a map about climbing or ascending! This was an old idea for a full Hammer Cup Ville challenge years ago, but of course never came to pass. I’m glad it can live on in a Map Labs Atom.
