A new magazine has been released called "GameMaker"
http://www.maxpc.co.uk/news/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=18460&subsectionid=720
Bored to tears of all your existing games? Finally – a magazine that shows you how to extend their lifespan by modifying them yourself. The world’s favourite PC game, Counter-Strike, began life as a home-brewed mod for Half Life – and Gamemaker will show you how to get started on this path yourself.
In this 116-page first issue, we show you how to design your own levels, characters, vehicles and weapons for the PC’s biggest and best games. Create brand new maps for leading online shooters, such as Quake III, Unreal Tournament 2003 and Counter-Strike, or 3D model personalised characters to play as. Take to the skies in custom-built planes for Microsoft Flight Simulator, or to the roads in modified cars and cities in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Script and create your own fantasy adventures in Neverwinter Nights and Warcraft III, or design brand new furnishings and characters in The Sims.
Design a UT2003 Map and win a PC. From the new UK magazine "Gamemaker"
Rules for the Contest & Entry Form:
http://www.maxpc.co.uk/staticinc/gamemakercompo2.html
Using the materials we’ve provided on the cover disc (you can supplement them by visiting the gallery yourself, if you’re oop North), create a playable map in UnrealEd based on the interior of Cartwright Hall using the tutorials in this magazine. It can be as accurate or as imaginative as you like, in vanilla deathmatch or any variety of team play. You can even add new mutators or skins if you like. Send us your effort as a (UMOD or Zip file) by 30 December, and we’ll get together with a group of experts and the FPS-playing staff at Cartwright Hall (yes, they do exist, and yes, they tell us they’re rubbish) and playtest every entry. Not only will the winner get a top-of-the-range new PC on which to create their next masterpiece, but they’ll see their map distributed on a future coverdisc, hosted on the web, and played by thousands of our readers. Simply email your entry to gamemaker@futurenet.co.uk , or, if it's too large to send, send us a URL we can download it from
