ThinkingWithPortals Mapping Contest - November 2007
Companion Cube Challenge

The Rules

1.) All posts except contest entires and screenshots of contest maps will be trashed. Please post all questions about rules, discussion and other chat in this thread.
2.) Map must be new for this content, nothing old or already posted.
3.) Contest ends December 9th at Midnight (EST).
4.) Winner will get their map posted on the front page, as well as custom title priviledges for life.
5.) Upload your map at anytime and post it (only in this thread, other places will not count) when ever it is finished. You don't have to wait for the last day to upload/release your map.
6.) Winners will be picked via a 7 day Poll.
7.) Enter as many times as you like.

The Requirements

1.) Player must be given one, and only one, Companion Cube in the map.
2.) Each puzzle must require useage of the Companion Cube to be completed.
3.) At the end of the map, the player must be forced to euthanize her Companion Cube before being able to finish.
4.) When you submit your map, name the zip/rar file "contest1107_<your name>_<map name>".
5.) Maps must have a correct Bonus Map Script files in place. Maps without this will be disqualified. Read this thread if you're not sure how to set it up.

The Rules and Requirements are slightly different than last month's contest, so be sure to read these carefully! Specifically, there is no minimum length and required puzzle types, so feel free to go crazy with your ideas.

If we get some donations, we will also offer real prizes, like hardware or something.

Good luck!

Unlocked the thread, everyone have fun.

if you kill your companion cube (emancipation grille or toxic goo) is it legal to get another one?

edit: feel free to erase, i just wanted to clarify

[espen180]

Yes, I reckon you are.

Please keep this type of questions to the discussion thread, so we can keep this one clean.

Why does the November map contest end in December?

[Rivid31]

Because the SDK didn't come out on time

No Story
By theprogram00




This is my first map that i've ever finished, so try to go easy with your critisim please . The map is aptly named No Story because... well, figure it out yourself. I've tried to include some puzzles that haven't been used before. Map should take you around 7 mins minimum, at a guess, although hopefully longer.

Any problems/bugs etc. PM me or post.

Enjoy.

My video card broke 3 days ago and I am still a few hours away from finishing. Good luck to all you guys, I'll just keep working on my map not in the contest. Cow's looks very promising.

Two things:
1.) This isn't a discussion thread, this is for entries only
2.) Should we really discuss how the maps are amongst ourselves? I think that the opinions of some people can greatly influence the opinions of others.
