Room of the Month is all about showing off your level design for any upcoming hack you may be working on, or perhaps you just wanted to create some fancy room just for the competition, who knows? This is one of the ways to show off anything WIP to the community and get constructive feedback, and maybe just maybe create the Room of the Year...

At the end of every month, One of the Contest board moderators shall lock the voting topic and archive it into the relevant archive.

And finally, at the end of every year there will be a Room of the Year; the winners for every month are pitted against each other to see who is the champion room designer!

And now for the rules of Room of the Month:

  • Only one submission per person - Only one room may be submitted every month per contestant.  If it is a collaboration room you must state this, as it will count as a joint entry, meaning you can not submit your own room as well.
  • Format - You must submit the editor screenshot of the room, for small rooms use 32x32 tilesize, larger rooms should be restricted to 16x16 but I will be allowing you to use your best judgement on this one, BTS and scrolling screens should be hidden. You may submit a PNG or BMP of the room, I will be rejecting other lossy files like JPG, be warned.
  • Media - You may provide up to 3 forms of media for your room, 1 of which may be a screenshot of the room in the editor, meeting the other rule's conditions. Included videos may not be longer than a minute long.
  • Descriptions - You are allowed to submit a description along with your submission, this will be displayed along with your post.
  • Effects - While editing the room itself is not allowed, any effects that are displayed in the screenshot as a result of the editor (not including BTS, scrolls, etc.) are allowed.
  • Updates - You may update your rotm entry as much as you want before the end of the month, do so by editing your post and not by posting a new message with the edited room.
  • Previous Works - Screenshots may not be submitted from any hacks that have been released, this also includes any rooms from previous RotM's (and RotW's). Only 'Work in Progress' hacks shall be accepted.

Games allowed - While this competition revolves around Super Metroid, NEStroid, and GBAtroids mostly, submissions from other Metroid titles and Metroid fan games are encouraged. Try to keep your format as similar as possible, screenshots should be in the native size for the title of choice.
