DooM Mapping Contest


Basic Info:

This contest starts January 1st and ends January 30th. I'll stream myself playing all the maps January 31st probably. Be there or be square.

Rules:

Only one submission per person of course. That's actually about it, I don't care if you make little timmy's first map or if you make the next big DooM technical masterpiece, just submit one thing and have it be cool. Also it should probably be for GZDoom but like if you specify to me when submitting that it's for another engine then I'll try to use that other engine IG.
Oh, yeah, and obviously don't put in anything illegal or explicit or anything. That should hopefully be a given though.

How to Submit:

Just e-mail your wad and any notes about it to my e-mail!! (charbomber12@gmail.com)
Again, if you have any notes about the wad that you want to share, please do. I will read everything :]

Ranking:

The ranking will be on the following categories:

•How 'objectively good' I think it is
•How much I like it just generally
•How cool I think it is
•How much you suck up to me

That's right! These are the subjects on which you will be judged! While it's not ever possible to determine what is "objectively" good (that does not exist as a concept), I will try anyways. If it's a good map with a solid base and well-thought fundamentals, it's getting higher in this category.
How much I like a map is obviously important too! If a map 'follows all the rules' then sure it might get high in the 'objectively good' category, but it will probably rank really low in the 'how much I like it generally' category!
How cool a map is - despite what you'd think - is an entirely different beast than how much I like it. I could HATE playing through a map but it could be a really awesome idea! Or, I could love a map but it could be really plain and simple! ...it's possible that this category might conflict with the first one.
Finally, there's how much you suck up to me personally. I mean like I'm not saying that if you slip me $20 before the contest that you'll rank any higher but like I mean $20 is $20 (That's a joke please do not offer me money I will not accept) (please find other ways to suck up to me)

Talk to Others:

It is not at all required to do this to submit to this contest, but please, join my Discord Server!! There's a few channels set up specifically for this contest and showing off your work, and I think it would be really cool to see you guys there!

Q&A:

Q: I can't make a DooM map!!
A: YES YOU CAN!!!

Q: Are the maps gonna all be released?
A: I dunno, if at all then not by *me*. That's up to the guys who made the maps!!

Q: I HATE this contest and think you are STUPID and DUMB and LAME
A: ok (I couldn't think of a third question)
