Not unless Hober wants to whip up a Contest Megafile like he did for October and November.

Riven's map has a title. Its "A Pl3sant Debut"

Also, this is supposed to be a voting thread...right?

As long as Shmitz didn't bollocks it all up with his sounds or whatever, I might be able to throw one together.

It won't be easy, though. This has been a record turnout for these contests.

The map works fine for me Riven. I look forward to seeing how the map progresses from here, as it has true potential for being a great map.

I suggest that in future versions of your map, you experiment with using 4-bit wav files, as the quality is not that much worse, and they have the advantage of being 4 times smaller, which will help silence any "it's too big" complaints.

I'll save my other comments for this map, and the others, until voting is available, but I would like to say congratulations to all who entered. It's not easy making a map in a month, but the standard of some of these maps was very high.

I dont know If I should be posting this yet or if this is the place to post this, but I can not seem to progress in Riven's map. I start in the room and there seems to be no way out. I have searched high and low and not found a way out. I am assuming that a portal should form on the wall in front of me but it never does. Do I have to do something in order to get the portal to form?
