[p]The Hollow Sanctum Mapping Event is officially over! This time, we got 8 wonderfully crafted adventures that offer hours of fun, action and exploration. Shrines, puzzles, hateforges, pigs, yetis, quests, time travel, you name it. You don't want to miss these! All of the creators did a tremendous job.[/p][p][/p][p]Take a moment to watch a quick preview of all the entries:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]In the first two mapping events, we didn't pick the "best of" of the map entries because originally, we didn't want this to be a competitive thing. With this map jam, I decided to change this and how sorry I am because there so many great entries that it's hard to pick just one.[/p][p][/p][p]The best entry was picked based on how good it matches the theme, how many mapping challenge checkboxes were ticked and on overall look and gameplay feel of the map.[/p][p][/p][p]While some exceeded in visual and technical form, others matched the jam theme much better. It was a very hard decision... [/p][p][/p][h2]Best of the "Hollow Sanctum" map jam[/h2][p][/p][p]Sanctum to Grave by Phade[/p][p][/p][p]Congratulations Phade![/p][p][/p][p]With that being said, I could easily point at other entries that deserve to share the "best of" spot but we can only have one per map jam. Make sure you play all the entries because each one of them is special and clearly a labor of passion![/p][p][/p][h3]All entries[/h3]

• [p]Sanctum to Grave by Phade[/p]
• [p]A Song of Hate And Chill by Killmonster[/p]
• [p]StormHaven by TookYoCookies[/p]
• [p]Shattered Shrine by Smellbow[/p]
• [p]Blood Ritual by Vortale[/p]
• [p]To Hell and Back by Blood'n'Brain[/p]
• [p]Infernal Sanctum by HouseQuake[/p]
• [p]Echos of Yestermorrow by Blodyavenger[/p]

[p][/p][p]Thank you all for participating and hopefully see you in the next map jam! ːcupupː[/p]
