Hello everyone! It has been a while, but the Map Making Contest returns once again for the Summer!

The theme of this contest is The Great Outdoors!

Feel free to submit any style of map related to the outdoors, outdoor activities or sports, and open worlding. Default rooms are probably not on the cards...

This contest is being hosted over on the Discord server

NOTE

To maintain a fun, fair, and competitive environment, previous winners from the intermediate/ novice categories will be required to compete in one tier higher than before (e.g. Novice winners will now compete in intermediate). Should this person not win the following MMC, they can rejoin all categories during the next event.

We see this as an opportunity to ensure a fair and competitive space for all participants of our MMCs, allowing players to compete with those within their skill level.

Advanced Tier winners will keep participating in the Advanced category, but if they don’t win this time, they will be free to submit in lower categories in the next MMC.

Contest Details

3 Tiers Format

There will again be 3 winners, with tiers broken down into Advanced, Intermediate and Novice.
The tier in which you participate is entirely up to you; every category is open, but note that you can post only 1 map in total, so think carefully before deciding.

Submission Rules

Any cheating (stealing prefabs, trying to post multiple levels, etc.) will disqualify your level.
Be sure to follow the Steam Workshop Guidelines
Your map must be posted in one of the submission channels before 2AM CET, August 30th 2026.
Contest moderators are not allowed to participate.

Prizes

Each tier will have one winning map. The winners of the contest will receive the following prizes:

Advanced winner: $40, Intermediate winner: $25, Novice winner: $10.
Each winning level will have a medal added to the map's workshop page, and a special Discord role for the author(s)
An additional prize for the winner of the advanced tier: a code for the great (but silly) game We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie!

The prize will be distributed through Steam Gift Cards, please let us know if this does not work for you and we will attempt to find a solution.

We hope you enjoy the mapmaking & eventual playing. If there are any questions or concerns please contact the admins on the Discord server!

Community13 Oct 202510 YearsIt's hard to believe, but 10 years ago today we released the first version of Paint the Town Red in Early Access on Steam. A lot was changed and added throughout Early Access through to the 1.0 release and we’re so grateful and fortunate the game has continued to be played and enjoyed on PC, Consoles and VR. While we have been working for years now on our next games, ideas for PTTR keep coming.…Game update26 Sep 2024Paint the Town Red VR version 1.1.0 UpdateThis update is mainly focused on adding support for bHaptics devices (TactSuit, Tactosy and TactVisor) for increased immersion while playing in VR. Additionally we've added an additional mode to the Arena called 'Swarm' which lets you use a range of unbreakable weapons fight forever against never-ending human and zombie enemies. It's a great way to practise, exercise or just relieve the stress…Community10 Apr 2024Paint The Town Red VR Giveaway Winners!Hey everyone!
