Description The final map in the Alphabet of Challenges series, the letter 'Z'.
Its been a great series to make and I have enjoyed everyone's demos.
As promised, there is a surprise that comes with the final map. This whole series is dedicated to the fans :)

Here is a list of the fans that have been included in this dedication.

and peace_bear0

This one is fun and fairly tricky to complete.
This series would not be possible without the fans.

I am making a new series, so I give this last little challenge. Whoever gets the fastest demo after a few days will get to decide what the next series will be.
Include your decision in your post that has your demo and I will announce the winner and the tags for the first map of the next series.
When choosing, include the map type. It can be anything except N-Art or DDA. Please include a theme if you can.

Completion demo included as usual.

i really like

alphabet maps.

Yeah...

I will submit when the website gets relaunched
Sorry again for not checking the last few letter maps out earlier. Glad to hear you're still playing:)

Phew.

That was scary ^^
Mostly playing columns, if I get any ideas for maps I will make them though.

^^

So I think you will stop playing N?
I almost forgot about N to be honest lol

N0valyfe...

Will you make those series? You are very silent.

=(

it's over... I'd suggest more action maps, I don't really like any of them except yours...

@prpperty,

why would I completely forget n0valyfe's letter maps? They're immense!
Again, well done to you n0valyfe, for a series of great maps. Pretty good ratings for pretty much all of them. All I can say now is 'you've done a great job'!

Wow,

the last letter map :(
Quite slow at the beginning, but I was fairly pleased with the end. 4.5
Loved the series, maybe you should make a number series too!

yup

posssibly a little too crazy but yeah :D

A good example

http://numa.notdot.net/map/120595

Thats a really enjoyable map
heaps of fun, quite a bit of flow, a nice amount of gold, and a couple of enemies to play around with.

I guess I can try

But I really don't understand playparks still... meh. Il make 3 and see what happens

okay

try and make the series, if everyone really does not enjoy it, you can stop any time after 3 maps, what about that.
If series will suck, everyone will know it's fingers idea. xD
they play maps for fun, and you've made 40 maps, okay, so there's a challenge for you
its ratings from the fans. I want to please the fans to keep them coming. And I wasn't having a go at you. And just so you know, I only have 40 odd maps, unlike you, so of course it will be easier for oyu.

i'm sorry, kinda

that was a little harsh, but 10 maps, it's easy, and

'it takes a lot of creativity and luck to make 3 in a row and >>>>get good ratings<<<,, let alone 10.'

really, that pissed me off, just, yeah do what you want.
seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you -_-

you ask for a series, i give you a series, anyone with any creativity could pull off 10 play park maps, they don'te ven have to be complex.

do whatever the hell you want
but I really can't see how they can be made into a series of any kind. A playpark is just for messing about, but when I said I wanted someone to choose a type for a series that would work really nicely, by this I was referring to the basic genres (Action, Puzzle, Race etc). Of course you can always put your own spin on those categories and I would much prefer something like that than a playpark, because personally I only see a playpark as a 1 time thing, not something that you can effectively create multiple times in a row. If you are willing to change from playparks to something better deserving of the name 'series', then by all means please choose one. I can still use the list of songs you gave and I will write a piece of sotry for each episode if that is what you wish.

Sorry about not being able to do playparks, but it takes a lot of creativity and luck to make 3 in a row and get good ratings, let alone 10.

fun

and the first map of septs recent level pack.

but if i remember the maps from the competition are kinda similar, though i haven't played em in a while, and i want you to be as diverse as possible

just, make them fun, pretty flowy, and fun.

hmmm

seems tricky.

can you post a link to a good example of a play park?

10 playpark maps

the titles of every one must be a title of a los camesinos! song: http://www.songmeanings.net/artist.php?aid=137438977030

songs titles above ^

oh yeah, the maps must have quite a bit of gold as well

and try and make the styles of each playpark map as diverse as possible

playpark maps are just maps that are really fun to play around in, exit is optional, the gameplay must take up most of the map, and a few enemies are nice, mines are generally not good as they make the maps flow worse

launchpads and bounceblocks are good but don't over use em

rockets are generally the best to use as they are fun to play around with, but remember, diverse styles.

Action

Right? :D

Yup time is up

What is your choice fingersonthefrets?

lol

its 7:23am my time.

10 more hours until its decided

Ha

I think you will make action maps :D

:/

Thats strange. Outright usually plays your alphabet maps, but he didn't check this, the last map... I hope he has a good explanation for that xD

:P

24 more hours until finish.

So at 5pm tomorrow (my time) the contest is over.

lol

Im a little bit worried at the thought of fingers winning :)

My guess is that I will be making abstract race maps ;)

Hehe

Gotcha :P Yeah, only for fun ^^
Demo Data
as people might have gotten a fastest demo of 646 and saving it for later, so they have more chance of winning, now that i've posted that demo, they know what they have to beat
and if no one else posts, you win. Post your decision with your demo :P

still 2 days left on comp, but everyone needs to post their idea

okay, i lied

732 wasn't the fastest, but, whatever, i probably won't win this as i'm posting this too early but i do not want to forget...
