um, there are a few questions i wanted to ask about the latest compo.
1. Can we only enter one entry?
2. if i post my compo26 map into the map vault before the competition finishes, will i be disqualified?
3. Is it ok if one of my maps contains two or more .bsp files (linked together with trigger_change levels)?

Don't make separate threads for any questions regarding the compo! Either post it here or contact one of the judges.
1. Enter as many as you like. Only one trophy per member, though.
2. No. Seen others do it before, so go right ahead.
3. No problem at all.

Puzzles don't have to be difficult to be good puzzles. Look at HL or HL2, troughout either game valve introduced quite a bunch of very simple BUT fun puzzles. Perhaps i'm not that puzzley, but seriously.. i'd prefer a simple clever puzzle/trap above a difficult long-ass switching dem' damn buttons type puzzle any day.

19 days left and work is slowing down for me finally, so i might join.
I have some fun--i hope--puzzle ideas, and it's going to be in source. Since i've only just started Source mapping. i'm not going to get my hopes up about any medals for this = )

Wow I had the time to finish some of my |mini|-puzzles .... There\s a scene where you will fly of the chair . Not necesarry scarry but fast .
I have a stupid scientist that I want to talk to ( I "talk" through game_texts but the scientist takes too long to respond me and my questions and his responses are in desync )
You will need general culture for my puzzle ... well ....

I just want to say that there will not be 5 maps.
Instead, i have reached 9...
That will be all though, cause i've finished and I am now doing final hi-grade compiles and nitpicking.

You are insane 
Omg 9 maps . That's almost a mod !! I didn't start my second map until now and you have 9 maps
.
DO you have a time stopping machine ?
I don't have that amount of time 
Friday I'll begin the work of my second map , and that's the last map .
Btw , the map is quite huge and the zhlt tools compiles them in under 15 minutes and VIS is set to normal . And I don't havw quad core , I have dual core .
[EDIT] Oh man I'm beginning to think if I will post or not a compo entry . I have 0.5 % chances to have at most the third place ? lol !

I admit defeat.
I do not have enough time to complete this unfortunately.
I just recently moved into a condo with my girlfriend, and have been taking extra work shifts to cover rent and utilities plus all the food my pot-head roomates eat on me.
Uni just plopped all the assignments in the world on me as well.
I was planning on doing a knock-off of the water temple from ZELDA OOT (I know i copy that game too much) with some satirical portal elements thrown in.
I only have 3/4 of it finished and it's nowhere near completion, polish wise.
If i do get a few hours i'll try to hack it all together and submit it, but i highly doubt i'll get to that point.

If you seriously do need an extension for a valid reason (An extra week at most), PM me or Daubster and ask.
We dont want to count off because people (with good reasons) didn't get as much done as they would like.

School takes up all of my time too.
I started a map 40 days ago, worked on it for about a week and then WHAM they gave us three tests to study for, and they were all for last week.

lame, guys. we made the compo 6 weeks long instead of 4 specifically to avoid the need for an extension :/ we'll give individual extensions to people who can PM grim or daub with screenshots of their nearly finished map. (basically only giving an extension to people who have put effort into their map and would be a waste if it didn't get finished)

Post #257785
Last competition I got more mapping in during the extensions than the compo time alone. It seemed kinda unfair because others were already done before I practically even started mine so I think strickter deadlines will cut procrastination.

4 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes and some odd seconds left...
It's finally a reprieve from work, so i'm actually going to try to build a puzzle entry in the time left and in source, for which i've only made 3 maps in my entire life...
If nothing else it should be a fun, entity-learning exercise, and highly embarassing most assuredly. = )
