    Process
    Send your idea for an interesting topic to the event's administrator via a private message to The_Templar. Two topics are randomly selected using [url=http://www.randomizer.org/]randomizer.org at the start of the event, and then immediately made official. This way, no "cheating" can occur, and the administrator can technically participate as well.

    Make sure you read the How does it work? section as well and feel free to ask additional questions in this thread.



    FAQ:


    What is the Map Jam & Challenge?
    The Map Jam & Challenge is a format by and for the community.
    The Map Jam & Challenge is a regular map making competition.
    The Map Jam & Challenge wants you to be creative and quick.
    The Map Jam & Challenge provokes thinking outside the box.

    This is a format developed collaboratively by Samro and Scorp, and was motivated by MotM, CSL Map Jam and the Map Making Challenge.

    Why do this?
    It is all about challenging your fellow map makers with some strange idea and together do a 24h map making jam that will produce innovative, fun and crazy maps. From this format ideas may emerge that can be implemented to competitive maps - or maybe not. There is nothing to win like beta keys, sorry for that. I have no give aways, no tshirts. Also I do not own this format. This is an idea that i hope can be run by the community itself, without judges, organization, etc.

    I know many will appreciate this. Here it is all about making maps. These may or may not be played. This is not the biggest point. We are looking for new ideas in maps and for new ways to make maps.

    How does it work?
    • Runs monthly.
    • 24 hours to allow all timezones a few hours. Is held in the weekend to allow the most people to participate.
    • All participants send one topic to the admin via PM, e.g. 'rocks' and 'low main'.
    • By a randomized process two topics are selected among all entries and made public to start the Map Jam & Challenge. This aspects helps to have no 'cheating' like preparing a map to give yourself more time.
    • Within the 24 hours participants post the overview in this thread and upload their map to EU/NA (ask your fellow map makers at EU/NA)
    • Public Vote decides on the winning map. Map makers who think they have the edge in evaluating how good a map is, can message the admin with their choice to have a double-vote.
    • Win = Fun & Fame


Map Jam & Challenge #10
The Map Jam & Challenge starts Saturday, May 17 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) and runs 24 hours. Topics need to be sent to The_Templar via PM until one hour before the challenge starts. This gives the admin one hour to randomly select the double-topic. Via PM we will keep all ideas secret and fresh for the next round maybe and the double-topic is quite a surprise for everyone.

Topics will be announced in this thread.

The previous events were administrated by Scorp, Samro, and RFDaemoniac. In future events, other community members may administrate as well. If you are interested in administration please notify the admin of the most recent map jam.

Inappropriate Architecture.

Penis shaped cliffs. Boobie mineral lines. Swastika texturing. Long narrow rock doodads with a bunch of bush around the base.

Go ahead, call me juvenile but that'd be pretty hilarious seeing a bunch of map submissions with penis on them lol.

Didn't we already had a MJC where the mappers were supposed to use penises on the maps? i recall it because i couldn't stop laughing while i was making "the bush" on mine with Aiur Trees.

I hope my idea gets chosen, it will be amazing to see what can you guys come up with if it does :3

Also i just got my internet back in time to submit my idea yay!

w00t these are always a good time

we definitely had genitalia maps already, but that's never a bad thing, unless the maps are bad.

the theme should be 3player maps with bawdy art in the middle, a la octopus

We should take it one step further and force the penis/penises to be a prominent terrain feature rather than just decoration. For an example, this BW map basically did it perfectly lol.

Is this photoshopped, or the real map textures? If there is no photoshop involved then huge props, really amazing.

Can we make one of the aesthetic challenges to do art in the middle, not necessarily that good, but kind of like that octopus one that got into the TLMC finals? It'd be interesting to see what people'd come up with.

Ah, ETP already said this. In this case, I second that motion.

I feel like aesthetic challenge should be different than a layout one, since the whole point is having 2 different features, and trying to combine them, while you can put any theme on every layout.

Must be summer time :D

We definitely did put aesthetic challenges separate, so we still had 2 layout features.

Remember to also submit your topic to The_Templar by PM.

I'd like to see terrain that nerfs swarm hosts. Think we can do that?

, and as far as i know he was the one to come up with the use of Ground Props (the doodad) as a ladder for ramps (i used them on Kamala & Foxtrot). You can find more pics on the Map Art Thread

That would be quite hard i feel, because any nerf to SH would a nerf to Toss in general, because the units behave similarly... But i'm not sure, i would have to see what you guys come up with.

You can nerf SHs without nerfing toss by making a lot of height differentials in the map. Without creep Locusts are super slow, so by forcing them to move like in a tower defense game they will not do anything. This is also a big hit for Zerg in general, since a layout with many height differences is a very choked one. This is not a nerf to Protoss because Colossi and Stalkers can both move up and down cliffs.
