A puzzle and action map from miigga. This one is a little longer than his other releases.

Work your way through the indoor areas until you reach the….

here we go again. Another prison escape. This time you get to use the Gravity Gun!

I hope you can swim, because it starts with a fall into some deep and dark water.

After that, things become a little easier, asssuming you don’t mind heights.

Surprise, surprise, you need to escape from a prison. Find the key to your cell and your journey will begin.

Look everywhere and don’t leave any crate unturned.

You even get to drive the airboat, if you can get that far, that is.

Starting outside a small cabin, isolated in the woods, you make your way through various areas and rooms, some with traps.

Use your observational skills to locate the solutions to puzzles and progress.

A treasure chest awaits those skilled and smart enough to find it.

Here is another short map from Miigga.

It’s no different from the others posted so far; keep going until you find the end.

No story, no clear objective, bu fun nevertheless.

Plenty of action in this one.

RunThinkShootLiveVille 2 – Map Labs #3 Mapping Challenge Announcement

Hey, you didn’t really think we’d never have another Ville challenge, right? Geez Louise!

Chris & Toki (the Map Labs folks) have really stepped up, filling the void that RTSL left once we started to wind things down late last year. This is the third “full” Map Labs Challenge – though they’ve run a couple of Test Tube (smaller) challenges in the vein of the Experimental Mapping Challenges here. Most of them are available right here on RTSL, and all are on the Map Labs ModDB page.

I’m happy to partner up with Map Labs for this challenge. May they keep the cool Half-Life challenges going! Perhaps there will be more crossovers like this in the distant future…

The Map Labs Discord just opened up for business. Head there to keep up with Map Labs, find out about new challenges, and maybe volunteer as a beta tester!

Theme Details

Just like in the original RunThinkShootLiveVille, mappers must create a map linking 4 distinct sections:

Section 1: RUN
Section 2: THINK
Section 3: SHOOT
Section 4: LIVE

They’re pretty self-explanatory, but we’ll let the official announcement fill in the details (click for full version):

RunThinkShootLiveVille2 Announcement

Note the optional Bonus Challenges, just to add some spice to the maps.

Deadline

The deadline for submission was Monday 8th April 2019

Prize

Map Labs typically doesn’t have prizes for the challenges, other than special roles on the Discord server for placing in the top 3. But I happened to have a spare copy of Raising the Bar in decent shape kicking around, so I’m offering it up to the winner.

As I Lay Dying

for Half-Life 2

Play through two beta maps; Tram Ride, which is okay, and Cave, which is pretty cool.

The mod was never finished or released, so this is all we have.

I got an “A.I. Disabled” message when I died in the second map and nothing I tried removed it, so be careful not to die, otherwise you will have to restart the map from the beginning!
