Attention, Black Mesa personnel! Yesterday marked the official end of our mapmaking competition “LambdaBuilds: Escape From Black Mesa”. Before we get on to what's next, we want to take a moment to say thank you to both LambdaGeneration and ModDB for hosting this exciting event! We believe that these kinds of community-focused competitions are a great way to celebrate our shared love of Source Engine games, and are thankful to have had the opportunity to collaborate on “Escape From Black Mesa” with them. [h2]Next Steps:[/h2] [h3]Announcement of the winners:[/h3] Now that submissions are officially closed, our panel of judges are hard at work reviewing all the excellent maps that you submitted over the past few weeks. Given the volume of entries, we can’t give an exact date for when the winners will be announced, but you can expect to get an announcement regarding the winning entries no later than October 31st. [h3]Official Map Collection Release: [/h3] We also plan to release an official collection of “Escape From Black Mesa” maps on the workshop. While all maps are currently available for download, this collection will provide a quick and convenient way for you to see the hard work of your fellow scientists for yourself. The collection will be released by October 31st alongside the results. [h3]Post-event live stream: [/h3] We want to be sure that the hard work of our community gets its chance to shine in the desert sun. Therefore, there will be a LambdaBuilds live stream showcasing some of the top maps that were submitted by our community members! The live stream will be hosted by the LambdaGeneration team on their [url=https://www.youtube.com/user/lambdagen]YouTube channel[/url], with the date and time to be announced later. [h2]Have you joined the official Black Mesa fan page?[/h2] In case you missed it the first time, our friends at LambdaGeneration launched the official Black Mesa fan page last month. Here, you can keep up with news about the game, see awesome fan and community content, discuss and share your modding work, and more! Be sure to join your fellow scientists today on the [url=https://community.lambdageneration.com/black-mesa]LambdaGeneration website[/url]. That’s everything that we have to debrief you on today. Again, we appreciate LambdaGeneration and ModDB for hosting the competition, and are extremely thankful for all our wonderful community members who participated. For now, this is where we get off. - The Crowbar Collective Team
