Starting next month, monthly challenges are returning with the same structure you know: one month to create, two weeks to vote via reactions.

One change moving forward is that the next challenge will be provided, rather than the previous winner deciding.

After 375 days our Big Adventure Mapping Contest has finally come to an end. Check out the astounding quality of maps that were created during this contest. We also want to take this time to thank FACEIT, without them this contest would not have been possible. The winners will be announced on May 4.

Grail is done.
We reworked majority of the materials and added a lot of details across the map. We also reworked a dungeon area as well as introduced some gameplay changes based on feedback from the players.
Congrats to everyone who participated.

Canopy is done.

Having spent over a year on this project and finally being able to call it finished is a really great feeling. I'm a very different person than who I was when I started working on this project.
