Greetings, scientists!
At long last, we are finally ready to unveil the winners of our recent “LambdaBuilds: Escape From Black Mesa” mapmaking competition! We were blown away by all the entries that we have received and, despite how hard it was to pick out 3 winners, have finally determined the top-3 for this excellent event. Below are our top-3 from third place, to the grand prize winner:
- Third Place: Taking 3rd place is Little Red Star by Midlou! Congratulations on a job well done!
- Second Place: In 2nd, we have The Xenian by SNW! We were impressed by your work and appreciate your submission!
- First Place: The grand prize winner of “LambdaBuilds: Escape From Black Mesa '' is Biotech by BeefBacon! While it was difficult to pick a winner from all our great submissions, this one was the one that captured our imagination most. Excellent work, and enjoy your hard-earned prizes!
Honorable Mentions
It was really difficult picking these three maps out of all the ones that we received. Because of this, we also want to give an honorable mention to two of the maps that came oh so close to winning, but ultimately just lost out by a slim margin. These two maps are:
4th Place - Imposter, by Dolmo
5th Place - Shadows, by OnTheMatter
Both of your maps were a ton of fun to play, and we appreciate you taking the time to create them!
Full details and results can be found here.
Again, we want to thank everyone who participated in the competition, and want to offer a hearty congratulations to our winners!
Where to play the maps:
If you’re interested in playing the maps from the competition, we have just released an official collection of them on the Steam workshop. Additionally, you can go and download the maps from the ModDB web portal if you prefer. Go and give these excellent maps a try!
That’s all for now, scientists!
