Level Contest - Compact

[h3]THEME: Compact (7x7x7)[/h3]
  • Build a level that has players racing within the confines of a 7x7x7 wide cube.

  • ⚠️ This is the first official contest that requires downloading a template level. Please see section below on how to download it ⚠️

  • Looking for ideas? How about a tiny race track, using all surfaces of the cube with fans or twisty wall rides!

[h3]DEADLINE[/h3]
  • Your track should be complete and submitted by Sunday, 24th September 2023 at 18:00 UTC+1

  • Submissions will be combined into a single workshop item after the deadline above

[h3]DOWNLOAD 7x7x7 TEMPLATE[/h3]
  • Download the template for the level contest! This provides the outline of the 7x7x7 grid boundries.
  1. Do NOT remove the outline blocks
  2. You CAN NOT place decoration or track pieces outside of the 7x7x7 grid boundary
  3. You CAN paint the outline blocks a different colour
  4. You CAN remove the cube's grass baseplate
  5. You CAN change the skybox (P cycles them, or use track options menu)

[h5]How to get the level in the editor[/h5]
  1. Open %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Zeepkist\Levels in File Explorer
  2. Create a new folder named Compact
  3. Download Compact.zeeplevel into that folder
  4. Load the level in Zeepkist level editor!
  5. Save your level with a new name :)

[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 (this counts as a level submission for each individual creator)
  3. The name of the level MUST start with "ZSL - " (e.g "ZSL - My Level")

[h3]LEVEL RULES[/h3]
  1. Scaling track pieces is permitted (within the 7x7x7 grid)
  2. Level MUST follow any theme requirements set
  3. Level MUST be under 4000 blocks
  4. Level MUST have an author time above 30 seconds
  5. Level MUST have an author time under 1 minute 30 seconds (90s)
  6. Level MUST have at least 2 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 hidden finishes/shortcuts (e.g using no-collision or invisible 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
