Giant watermelon map? Sure. Space gardens? Why not? Everything is possible.

Minimum entries for this contest to start: 5
General Guidelines:
-Only one entry per user
-You must use the Golden Souls 2 Demo pk3: http://www.mediafire.com/download/mwktc ... _hfix1.pk3
-Your map must be in Gzdoom: Doom 2 UDMF format
-You map must be submitted as a separate pk3 with its own custom resources inside (Do not modify the demo pk3!)
-You can add custom textures,music and props, but not custom monsters
-Please use 16 bit music for your map, you can find tons of custom SPC music here: http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&s=smwmusic
-Choose a random mapslot, it doesn't matter since it'll probably be changed, just make sure it doesn't overlap a map that's already ingame
-Maps meant to be Ghost Houses and Castles aren't allowed, however normal maps with similiar themes are allowed.
-Only one person can submit a map, collabs are not allowed
-Avoid using too many textures that are already in the game, download, edit and add your own stuff, make your level different!
-Have fun!
Mapping Guidelines:
-The map must have 3 Big Coins (Be creative! These kinds of coins are usually harder to get!)
-The map must have an exit door with an exit switch inside
-Think of your map as part of the game, there currently are 5 worlds: Grass-Desert-Water-Forest-Mountain/Ice
-Think of a unique map theme that makes it stand out (choosing a color palette for your map helps)
-Do not put weapon pickups in your map, place them at the spawn for testing purposes
-Do not overdetail your map architecture-wise, simple and nice is good!
-The map should take atleast 7-9 minutes to complete in a run of yours
-Height difference is the key! You can jump really high (up to 128x128 walls), make every jump count!
-No direct references to Super Mario and other Nintendo games, ex: map with floating ? blocks and green pipes. Think of Golden Souls as its own thing, a colorful, platform-y Doom.
-It must be possible to backtrack from the exit to the start of the level
How can i give my map a unique theme?
Spoiler:I really hope you'll give this contest a chance and i can't wait to see what you'll come up with, so, good luck and have fun!
