Most of us are bathing in the summer heat, and the mind often wanders to grand sea adventures - those of pirates! Let's build the coolest Pirate Cove of your imagination: ghost ships harbored in dark caves, a moist cove in the swamp run by pirate piglets, sky hideouts, desert treasure islands...

ːcc_candleː Event Details

Theme: Pirate Cove When: July 4th - August 1st Challenges:

  • Have at least one pirate ship or a boat (on water, ruined...)

  • Add min. 3 secret areas with treasure

  • Have one mega secret that is opened with a series of switches

  • Include an (optional? secret?) pitch-black area that requires torch item to navigate through

  • Create one scripted sequence (moving walls, breaking walls, earthquake...)

  • (Harder) Create and use custom sprite or custom textures

  • (Harder) Keep the level contained to 1/4 (64x64 blocks) of the available mapping area

Tip: aim for a short level with a par time of 1-2 minutes. Don't worry, it always gets bigger!

Please note that you don't have to stick to the dates; you can start working on the map today and finish your map after the event if you want to take more time with it, but the time limit is there mainly if you want an extra challenge.

If you are starting out, please check this Quick Editing Guide to learn about the basics of the level editor.
