We could use a 5th judge as odd numbers are always better. If you're interested in judging please let me know!

EDIT: quazz is confirmed as our 5th judge. Thanks to everyone for your interest in judging!

We felt 2 weeks was enough time to build a proper CAP. When picking a deadline I tried to look at the past contests and it looks like contest #3 only ran for one week. Started on 11/11/16 and the deadline was 11/18/16. So this one gives a full extra week!

You might surprise yourself! The editor is easy to use once you get used to it- just a matter of using your creativity to build something cool. I've built CAPs for many many years and don't always come up with a great idea the first time, but after refinement I'm able to get something halfway decent more times than not.
Hope to see you submit something!

Sweet! I actually didn't choose the theme, it was chosen by Fl1p: the winner of CAP Contest #3. That's one of the perks of winning: you get to choose the next theme.

It's been a while since I've made any parks or even touched Create a Park, but I just might give this a shot as well.

Sorry man, couldn't do it in this short time. I started something but I got hopeless and gave up. Would've tried again in like a few days if I feel some creativity but I can't.

How long do you feel is adequate to build a CAP? I felt like 2 weeks was ample time...just trying to get a sense of how long people feel something like this should take. Custom Levels that require texturing objects, etc, etc definitely need longer to create, but it seems like CAPs are really well defined in what one can do with the in-game editor and don't require as much time.

I can't just ''force'' creativity. I get really frustrated when something doesn't work out and I most likely need at least a few days to try again. Oh well, I started doing a Temple, much like nutz, his one would've been better than mine anyways.

To answer your question, Dode, it depends. I understand why you think 2 weeks is long enough. Adding extra time would probably not have mattered in amount of submission, there's just that little interest for CaPs/contests/the forum/the game...

I guess 3 weeks would be my preferred time.
