addedCobalt Workshop Challenge #1 WinnersOver 60 levels were added to the workshop and it was really tricky to select the ultimate winners. It was even so tricky that we decided to hand out two extra prizes as "memorable mentions"! Each one of these winners have been awarded a token for a Cobalt cape in Minecraft. They can give this away if they prefer to only play Cobalt forever and ever, of course =) Honorable Mention - FatalThornz for great enthusiasm First up is a special prize for FatalThornz. With 16 maps submitted to the workshop - each crazier-looking than the next - we could see great commitment and enthusiasm in creating Cobalt levels. We want to recognize these efforts, but this is definitely a one-time exception so don't try any workshop-spamming shenanigans for future CWCs! http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198088328703/myworkshopfiles/?appid=357340 Honorable Mention - CEO of the Corporation for "Cavern Shipwreck" Second, we wanted to highlight this awesome map by CEO of the Corporation. It looks great and tells a story of its own. It may not have been selected as a winner for any of the categories, but it scored high in many aspects! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626490414 Most Memorable Map Winner - Xeronsis for "Pravus" There were many memorable maps in CWC1, but ultimately the winner for "most memorable" is "Pravus" by Xeronsis! This map utilized timed triggers to create a cool dynamic in the map. Every two minutes the water raises and you start spawning at a higher floor. Each floor brings new weapons and new encounters. Congratz! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=633600797 Most Beautiful Map Winner - Grendel for "Compound" In the end, Grendel took this one for his stylish use of tiles and setting a good theme for the map "Compound". You should check it out! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=622827337 BEST MAP Winner - Crona, who is that? for "Clay" After playtesting a bunch of maps with both bots and players, we determined that "Clay" by Crona, who is that? is the ultimate best level winner! The map offered fluent gameplay with many strategic options without getting too complicated. Great level, thanks! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=632682595
addedCWC #2 - "Wonders of Speed" - ends March 20So let's get on with the second Cobalt Workshop Challenge!!!1111oneone :D This time we will make it a little bit trickier, but not by a whole lot. The theme is called "Wonders of Speed" and the objective is to create a speed challenge that in some way relates to or is inspired by the old or new "Wonders of the World". If you are unsure what these are, here's the list:
