[p]Apply to be a Judge[/p][p][/p][h2]Super League Results Are Back Online[/h2][p]The community-run zeepki.st/super-league site has returned as ZeepCentraal, covering results from [/p][p]Season 1 through Season 6![/p][p]Now you can view per-level standings for each round — which was never shown on the old site.[/p][p]Note: events since the Zeepkist V17 update (new level format) do not have per-level standings. Work is underway to add full compatibility in ZeepCentraal.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Just wanted to throw an update out there while I keep working on v18: Logic 2.0.[/p][p][/p][p]For this update I've enabled the new connection tool in the editor, and although logic itself is not yet done, you can already use this on checkpoints to connect and link them![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]When checkpoints are linked, they will act as if they are one checkpoint.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The connection tool also has a useful tooltip text that pops up whenever you hover over block's connection nodes, which will come in especially useful with later updates, when multiple types of connection nodes will exist.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]I've also added a few blocks to patch 15 for builders to play with :)[/p][p][/p][p]Patch 15:[/p]

• [p]added connection tool[/p]
• [p]added linking checkpoints with connection tool[/p]
• [p]added trash can block[/p]
• [p]added bug[/p]
• [p]author names with overridename are now displayed in italics[/p]
• [p]added flat bumpy grass (10 size variants)[/p]
• [p]added witch hat block[/p]
• [p]added editable wooden signs with arrows, and wooden signs without support posts[/p]
• [p]awarded a lot of contest items[/p]
• [p]fixed trees 1544 and 1528[/p]
• [p]added hollow cube and hollow sphere primitives[/p]
• [p]added deadly spike[/p]
• [p]added 2 cool new tube pieces[/p]

[p][/p][p]Patch 16:[/p]

• [p]Fixed broken block 1291[/p]

[p][/p][p]Patch 17:[/p]

• [p]Fixed a Ctrl-Z issue where deleted blocks would not reappear[/p]

Season 6: Theme 6

[h3]THEME: Deserts & Dunes[/h3]

Build a level set in a desert or dune environment!

Looking for ideas? How about dune surfing; racing through ancient ruins half-buried in shifting sands; racing around an oasis hidden deep in the desert; or navigating the halls of a temple swallowed by the dunes!

⚠️This is the final theme of Season 6 and the last chance to obtain the Season 5 & 6 soapbox cosmetic reward.

Zeepkist Super League: 80 Blocks is taking place on the 20th of July. It will be announced next weekend once the level contest judges have chosen the 15 levels we'll be playing on.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the discussion thread of this news post! Good luck, and happy building!

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]

• Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 27th July 2025 at 18:00 BST
• Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above
  

[h3]SUBMISSION RULES[/h3]

1. You can only submit one level (you can modify or replace your submission as much as you like until the deadline)
   
2. Level collaborations are permitted (Maximum of 3 players per level. This counts as a level submission for each individual creator. Please name/mention collaborators when submitting)
   
3. Level author name MUST contain the submitters' Steam (or Discord) username
   
4. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")
   
5. Your submission MUST be created within the 3 week building period. Please do not re-upload older maps—even if they fit the theme!
   

[h3]THEME RULES[/h3]

1. Level MUST be set in a desert or dune environment
   
2. Level DOES NOT need to use the sand paint texture for the racing surface (optional)
   

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]

1. Scaling track pieces is permitted
   
2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set above
   
3. Level MUST be under 4000 blocks
4. Level MUST have an author time above 20 seconds
5. Level MUST have an author time under 60 seconds
6. Level MUST have at least 3 checkpoints. Consider adding additional checkpoints for split timing or where it would prevent a cut, as cuts do not make for good tournament tracks!
   
7. Level MUST NOT have risky or hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g blind shortcuts or using no-collision/invisible/logic blocks to hide a secret path that is NOT the intended route)
   

[h3]HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR LEVEL[/h3]

1. Join our Official Discord server
2. Upload the level to the Steam Workshop
   
3. Link the workshop item in the theme's thread in #level-submissions
   
   Don't have Discord? You can submit your entry by linking your workshop item in the comments section of this announcement post!
   

[h3]WINNERS & PRIZES[/h3]

• Up to 15 of the submitted levels will be used for the next Zeepkist Super League event
  
  
  • Players of all skill ranges should be able to finish your level.
    
  • The more playable your level is, the more likely your level will be chosen!
    
• The community will vote on their favourite maps from the theme once submissions close
  
• Top 4 in the community votes for Best Decor and Best Track Layout will each win:
