Tripwire Interactive are proud to announce the "Banzai" Community Map Making Competition for Rising Storm. Rising Storm is racking up our highest review scores ever and PC Gamer recently named Rising Storm number 12 in it's list of the 25 best shooters of all time. In light of this success we decided to continue Tripwire Interactive's tradition of supporting our modding community with a mapping competition for Rising Storm. Last year's contest for Red Orchestra 2 produced an amazing selection of new community-made maps, so we are expecting great things from the Rising Storm mapping contest. Of course, to add some incentive, we are looking at cash and prizes totaling in excess of $25,000 - the Grand Prize is a full $10,000 in cash.

The contest starts NOW and will run with just a single judging. There will be an initial checkpoint (Checkpoint Alpha) on 3 Sep 2013, where you can submit your maps for some formal feedback from the judges. The final submission (Checkpoint Beta) is due 5 Nov 2013.

The full details for the competition, including rules and entry forms are available on the contest web page: [url]http://www.risingstormgame.com/mapping-contest-2013[/URL]. The final details of the prizes will be published soon. You don't need to submit your entry for the contest until later - but you most probably need to start working on it! Also, keep an eye on the Rising Storm Steam Workshop page for all of the new custom maps coming out: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse?appid=35450&browsesort=trend.[/URL]

Any idea when this is coming? I just hate to have everything be last minute. Especially if we're going to make big changes. Thanks.

Yeah, as far as feedback goes I've heard from exactly one "official" person. One.

Thank you sir, that's great to hear!

No bribe, you just have to track them down on Gametracker and then pin 'em into a corner with the in-game chat

So should we stop uploading newer version of our maps till we get the feedback? or just keep going? Because I've made some more changes in the new version. IE: changing cap zones, routes...etc. Should i hold up uploading that?

 

[Yoshiro]

Up to you at this point. They gathered feedback on some of the later versions that were available.
