The map competition is over. Thanks to everyone who participated.
Some really nice maps have emerged from this competition and there is a new quick play bundle available in the main menu, where you can play 7 maps that I think are worth playing.
Just a discplaimer: If your map isn't mentioned in this post or the quick play bundle, that doesn't mean it is not worth playing.
The winners will be notified via steam dms or discord, so keep an eye out for that!

On this map the player explores what really happened on the moon. After completing some challenging puzzles to figure out keycodes in the first part, the player has to fight for survival in the second part...

This well designed and detailed map sends the player into a space station or ship from where we have to escape. While shooting all the enemies can be challenging due to custom damage effects, the map is well balanced and features some nice shooter gameplay!

This map features a battle where the player tries to advance through the enemy lines with the help of allied AI units. There are some nice scripting features like recruting units and zones to capture to gain more strength.

4th place
This is one of the less complex maps, showing that you dont have to reinvent the wheel to create a good map. The map uses only vanilla items and still looks and plays really good! The player is introduced to the task via unit messages and dialogues. Gear can be bought at a trader and the gameplay is really simple but fun!
