Rules & Information
- This contest is a continuation of the previous one-month contest. It finishes approximately January 31st, midnight, PST. Check the countdown timers to manage your time properly. Procrastination is punishable by death in SEN. No seriously, it is. Moose will come for you.
- At the conclusion of this contest, if your map is incomplete you will be ineligible for the prize. If there are multiple maps of exceptional quality, I may be compelled to reward multiple prizes. I doubt this will happen however... surprise me. There will be no further extensions.
- You do not have to make a new map for this contest, you can pick up where you left off with an incomplete project. However, if your map has had a significant amount of work already put into it, it may not be eligible for the prize.
- The map must be of the RPG genre, or similar.
- No third party programs required to run the map (no mods, no EUD enabler).
- It is strongly encouraged that you create a thread for your map in Map Productions. This is a good way to build awareness for your map and to keep fans updated on your progress.
- The recipient of the prize will be determined based solely on my subjective opinion. We all want to play RPGs, and we enjoy making them - so let's make some! You should look at the prize as a bonus. I don't care about 'fair', I don't want to put mappers on some ordinal gradient, I just want a bunch of great RPGs to play. Let's not fool ourselves with all these templates and ratings you see in other comps, judging maps is a qualitative not quantitative experience.
- Things that will impress: innovation is always good, pushing the editor to its limits like creating a shooter type thing like RUSH, or screen tiles like Fallen Memories. Extended terrain is nice, and systems! Spell systems, item systems, character progression, boss battles dynamic monster spawning, day/night, shuttle/dropship menus, in-depth storylines, puzzles, eud, vhp, dds, etc.
- The recently discovered NeoEUDs by Biophysicist have opened up a plethora of options for mappers. There have yet to be any maps that utilise this brand new feature and yours might well be the first!

How will I get it?
After I choose the winner, send me the details I will ask for and then it will get shipped out to your address/PO box.
I will make every stage of the process visible (I can black out personal info) so no one can accuse me of foul play if something goes wrong.
What will increase my chance of winning?
* Producing a high quality map with impressive/various systems, engrossing storyline, and great fun value.
* Anyone can complete an RPG if it's 62x62 with preplaced units and two triggers. But completing a high quality RPG takes commitment and skill. Your perseverance will be rewarded.
* Innovation can be good but a really polished map with little to no innovation can be just as good if not better.
Example RPGs to get me inspired?
Rush, Deep Blue, Deep Six, Legacy of Haen, Arcane Arts, Spellsword, Death Knights 3, Cataclysm, Lost Souls (Cecil), Lost Souls (Ultimo), Wonder, Essence, Fallen Memories, Middle of the Ocean, So it Begins/Webs of Fire, Dwellers of the Depths, Autocracy, Tenebrous.
Make yourselves proud.
