I'm in.
Is it possible to submit two entries for reasons?

Didn't realise you were a fan of Frank Klepacki, stojke. Definitely agree with you for the red alert 2 stuff.

Rule Addendum #1
Contestants will choose their own piece or pieces of music to map to.

Rule Addendum #2
You may enter more than one entry, just remember quality is preferred over quantity ;)

(mods: Please update the rules for us on the first page ^^)

(please let me know if i missed anyone)

Stojke/Instant: That RA music really brings back memories, great stuff! I never played Sonic nor Ristar, but the music is very intriguing and would sure be fun to map to. (i'm digging the Marley too listening to a playlist right now) =)

I'm in also.
Still trying to choose a song. Most of the songs i want to do would include animation sequences, so i'm gonna try to pick something more suitable for a map ;)

Unless there are any objections, shall we start right now?

Map-A-Song MiniContest Rules
1. Build a map for any valve game/engine to a piece of music. Try to make your map reflect the song in anyway you can think of. (this could be a whole functional map, or just a small scene, you decide)
2. Multiple entries are aloud.
3. Judging by community voting.
4. Prize by Prize pool. Current prize kitty: $25. (We will accept donations to the prize kitty in the form of cash/games and mystery gifts)
5. Deadline is when a month has passed and no new entries have been recieved, or, whatever we deem it should be by community voting.

Hopefully we will gain more entrants down the road. Also, there is no minimum entry requirement, i.e., i will pay out the prize(s) even if only one entry is submitted.

So if you are in, get mapping! =)

W00tski! =P

I must say, it is much more difficult to pick a song out of the blue, rather than choose from a collection or whatever..

A lot of songs i'd like to do are directly used in movie scenes, so i can't help but think of the movie as the inspiration and not the music.. There are a couple of movie themes i'd definitely like to do though :)

i think we have 3 definite, plus Malle(me, you, stojkekns).

I narrowed my entries down from 3 to 1, this song, which will be a nightclub/penthouse on-top of a highrise building. I'll try to post screens as soon as they are worthy ;)

How is everyone else doing?

I can't decide between either this or this. Both convey the exact same feeling I'm trying to portray in my map which I'm not giving any clues on about just yet. Apart from this.
