EDITED, the idea of the contest now is to make a new type of map which MUST include these:

towers
attacking units
lives
winning and losing system

or a new map which has never been done before!

So either make a new type of map but it has to be a tower defense, or make a completely new type of map that has never been done before in 3-5 years of custom mapmaking, and you only have about 40 days to do it?

It can be any map (even a custom map) it just ha to include the stuff shown on the first post.

Its not November the 20th now, its December 20th.

You can make kodo tag, but it must be from scratch, add in as many new ideas as you can.

@mase: i already told you... no, it doesnt matter.

Good luck and hope to see some good ideas ( i will remove the list of contestants and judges).

I was planning on it, and I have already got some neat ideas I have never seen in a Kodo Tag before, atleast since the last time I played one, like over a year ago

I'm going to make one too, sorta a team defense, where you have to build defenses and units to hold off enemies. There will be trade, the main source of gold, and rescource gathering, (wood and maybe a couple mines, but they give low gold compared to trade, and are few and far between) and food gathering (the food in the top left will show food used this month/average food gathered in a month). This should make for a good new style of map, where you have to keep trade routes secure and defend rescources from the enemies. The building system will be similar to the empires in heros and empires. (all done from scratch, I won't (and can't since it's protected) copy triggers from HaE)

You can make ANY map, it just has to include the things in the first post.

So that means you are allowed to create a new kind of map which has never been done before.

@TheHelper: ah ok, silverhawk is a judge, i meant if an admin or someone hosted it. Probably still wouldnt be official :eek:.

Umm...you didn't get what he said. He said that your requirements basically force it to be a TD, or a very very TDesque map.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
