Answer 1

Extra details such as "do we just make any map whatsoever or what" would be helpful, yes.

Answer 2

...yes, that's the whole point of this?

Answer 3

Usually these kinds of contests are best with some sort of theme, either aesthetic or gameplay, like "winter" or "climbing" or something.   That way there's something common to judge them on.

Answer 4

I was initially thinking of something like that, but I decided against it, because IMO it limits creativity.

If the 'competition' is popular enough for there to be a second one, then 'themes' and whatnot would be included without a doubt.

Answer 5

The theme should be "map that could get into the new version of Dustforce"

Answer 6

Actually I think limitations foster more creativity!

Answer 7

In some cases they can, but I think what I'm trying to achieve here is finding out whether or not an event like this could work.
If it does, then yeah, limitations will certainly be put in place! I mean otherwise, people would just walk away and not bother.
