    • No elevation levels
    • At least half of the expansions on the map must be farther away from your opponent's main base than your main base is.






Topics:

  • At least a portion of the main base must border a cliff higher than it which is accessible from the outside.
    This can include inbase expansion areas and any accommodating features as necessary/desired.

  • The map must have a single watch tower that gives vision of the 3rd base hatch/nexus/CC of all spawn points.


    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 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 #11
The Map Jam & Challenge starts Saturday, Jun 14 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 The_Templar, 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.

Here's hoping it's not another no ramps/elevation changes one, that gets boring.

I submitted "No Sunshine" so you can't compete if it gets chosen.

Actually, that wasn't my topic but tbh that wouldn't be a bad idea...dark/nighttime maps only! Hmmmmmmm"

I haven't really made any map yet, but I had some fun with the editor recently. This seems like a pretty fun idea to me and I will try to participate in this one even if my map won't be as good.

I feel like aesthetic related topics don't really belong in this kind of map jam. It would be interesting to see some kind of aesthetic related map jam, but you can't really combine an aesthetic topic and a layout based topic, since then there is not much hardship in making the topics work together.

Someone should really do that Layout -> Aesthetics two-parter that we talked about last time. I would, but I'm unreliable and busy a lot of the time.

@Knatterking: This is a pretty newbie-friendly little contest, since everyone knows that the maps are silly and generally non-feasible anyway. Don't worry that your map won't be as good; it's not like any of these are going into a tournament anyway.

You can never know Maybe the silliness of the map jams is just what the meta needs!
