For this mapping challenge, I would like you to create a map that is set in a Combine base. The map can start anywhere you like, either just outside a hidden base or just after you enter.
It’s your decision.
Once inside the base, you can have the player do anything you want – destroy or disable certain machinery, rescue a high-ranking Resistance leader or even just escape alive.
As much as I would love high or deep vertical areas, the base doesn’t have to be that way.
I am looking to be impressed by the base as much as I want to have a lot of fun fighting within it.
Ideally, there would be a WOW moment in the map somewhere.

For those not following Jim Partridge’s RTSL livestream event, called Critical Jim, he plays and dissects a different mod every month.
He normally has a guest to throw and crush ideas around.
Here are his starting mapping rules. Don’t be surprised if they get added to and/or updated as he finds new elements to discuss.

When I suggested the idea of level design critique videos to Jim, it was always with the hope of having the author benefit from Jim’s eye for detail.
After the first video, for Station 51 by Sam Combs, was streamed and made available on the RTSL YouTube channel, the response from the community was overwhelmingly positive.
Sam published his response to the video on his Tumblr blog and has kindly allowed me to republish it here.

Just to let everybody know that Darren aka CustomGamer will be livestreaming HunterVille for the The Ville Retrospective this Saturday at 1pm GMT on the RunThinkShootLive Twitch Channel.
Be sure to plan your weekend around it.
1st April 2015 Comments Off on The Ville Retrospective: HunterVille This Saturday
You’ve probably noticed in the last month or so, 3 new events have been announced. If not, where have you been?
Hopefully, you are as excited about them as I am. They allow you to play mods that you might have missed.
Each event has its own focus and objective and none will overlap.
I’m hoping for plenty of reader participation and I’d like to draw your attention to the Event Reviewers Giveaway post.
However, what you may have noticed is that they all use previously released or updated quite well-known mods.
Don’t worry, I will very soon begin to run some time-limited events that aim to update those really old mods or the mods that have hardly any details, including working links. I will also start adding recently released mods that are missing from the site.
My aim is to have lots of events running at the same time, maybe even EVERY weekend.
There’s also a chance I will be able to do some limited streaming on Thursday evenings.
We hope to have a monthly Video Submission Challenge, but we are still playing with that idea.
If you are a regular reader and would like to run your own event or just suggest an idea for one, please let me know.
