We're 4 months into Viperbird's HL2DM Mapping Contest with only 2 months remaining before the judges start the review process and decide the winners. Viperbird has put together the video below to give you a couple of glimpses at what our contest participants have cooked up so far.

Some amazing work not just from the creators of these stunning maps but also some top-notch editing skills by our good friend and contest host Viperbird!

For your convenience I've put together an alphabetized list of all the map entries with the map author's name and description of their work below.

A four-sided, symmetrical arena conceptually derived from the classic aim_arena. Gameplay and the flow are enhanced by the four-way underpass, the upper walkway that crosses the map, and the 8 teleporters. Warm lighting and texturing, thanks also to the beautiful RealWorldTextures by TopHattWaffle.

12033_7.jpeg
This map's inception predates the contest by a long way; it's currently over a year old and was never designed to support match play. Various improvements have been made with the valuable advice of participants on the mapping contest discord.

12033_31.jpeg
This is a resuscitation of an old project. Everything is running with an open sheet. The size is increased almost 3 times. New textures and rethinking..

Map set in the former Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo following an earthquake.

Very early alpha stage, mostly placeholders. This is based on the same original layout as dm_katsura but will have much less visual clutter and more room to move.

12033_10.jpeg
Very loosely inspired by the standalone classic HL1 episode "uplink", released 1999. Features a health overheal to 150 with a logic flip to collect healthpacks to 150 if you run the healthcharger to 0. Armor charger works in reverse - collect batteries beforehand and they will be credited on top of the 100 the armor charger can supply.
