Mapping Contests

[M210F]

I was wondering if the Devs have any plans for official mapping contests? Something where they give a time for when it ends and we all complete something? I'd imagine that they could follow the rules of "theme" or "lot" contests, where we're either given a theme to follow "hospital, horror, grocery store, etc) or a lot (30 wide by 10 long and 3 high), or a combination of the two.

 

As far as rewards, I see 3 potential prizes- being featured on the site, obviously, but also possibly being put into the official map in a later update (particularly for lot contests) or being given a special skin (exclusive baldspot multiplayer skin, anyone?)

 

Obviously, this is all just an idea, and I'm sure that the devs have plenty enough on their plate, but with the building editor released I would imagine that this would be something plenty of people in the community would appreciate. It could also lower the workload by crowd-sourcing some of the map construction, so there's that. Cheers!

That would be pretty cool, But it is a little early for that. I don't think too many people have the hang of it, or even had a chance to mess around with it. I'm currently snowed in, so i'm diving in it for my first time tonight.

it's a great idea, but it may be better to do it after they have made any changes to the base game like we saw in the Devs adventure videos. at least get thru a week or two of the upcoming Beta

A great idea in theory, but no one really knows how to use the mapping tools efficiently/at all yet.

Thanks for the responses, guys! I'm not proposing for this to start immediately, but it's something that could happen in a few weeks or months, when a few tutorials are posted for it and people have gotten a chance to play around with it. This is the suggestions page so I'm not expecting it to be implemented immediately!
