[[TW]schneidzekk]

Tripwire Interactive announces the "Killing Floor Grindhouse" Custom Map Making Competition with $20,000-worth of prizes. Tripwire are partnering with Nvidia and Logitech to bring you a truly spectacular mapping contest for the zombie-slaughtering co-op hit that is Killing Floor. We put the game out at a recession-friendly price, there have already been hundreds of custom maps created, so here is the Tripwire economic stimulus package to follow up: the headline prize will be an awesome $10,000 for the Grand Prize winner.

The contest will run in two Waves. Wave 1 completes July 31, 2009, with a First Prize of $5,000 for the winner, while the runners-up will get prizes including Nvidia graphics cards and Logitech goodies. Wave 2 is the Big One, completing September 18, 2009. The Grand Prize will be $10,000. Yes, a full Ten Thousand Dollars for the winning entry! There will be more Nvidia graphics cards and Logitech goodies for runners-up in Wave 2.

Not really a wad, more like a bank vault.

[Rak]

Moneeeeey!

Ahh bad timing for me! I'd love to create a map for the contest, but I'm nowhere near home untill October. Good luck everyone and keep the content flowing.

Btw: Has Ramm bought his Ferrari yet?

[Lt_Kettch]

Have a idea fo a map in my head but dunno if it is this good ...

[SiC-Disaster]

Money, money, money!
Wish i could map now!

[gusone]

Great idea! The only downside is you have to grab the cash from the back pocket of that ol' grizzly bear Ramm-Jaeger but you should be able to kite him.

I look forward to hosting the winners and the runner ups. Lets have a real mean Friendly Fire map.

[Hyperion2010]
