Going to try something different this time (because I hate seeing a ton of threads for the same thing over and over lol) — I'm gonna put all Freezer Bowl news in this thread and post any schedules to the blog. Should work out the way I hope!

This month features quite a few LMS modes this time around. Given it's a popular game mode, that should come as no surprise. We also have a very important event for Memorial Day Weekend to commemorate one of 8-Bit Deathmatch's finest fights. Hope to see you there!

Freezer Bowl Fridays

Hey, you!
Yeah, you!
Interested in all the modes 8-Bit Deathmatch has to offer?
Tired of seeing the same empty servers week in and week out?
Looking for a fun way to spend your Friday nights?
Then come and compete in The Freezer Bowl!


Welcome to Freezer Bowl Fridays!

This project is a collaboration between Trillster and myself to generate a community run gaming night in 8-Bit Deathmatch! Each week on Friday nights, we'll select a game mode or mod to host and run a server with it. If you've been wanting to scratch your itch for vanilla, have seen a cool mod you want to play with others, or even if you're brand-new to the game, this is the perfect opportunity to sit down, relax, and join the fun!

Each month, I'll put up a thread with a schedule showcasing what will be hosted each Friday. Trillster will make event threads in 8BDM's Discord server corresponding to each week.

Inspired BURST! -V6b Weapon Competition -Ends 9/28

Welcome to
Inspired BURST!



Utilizing the tech introduced in v6b that eases weapon creation and carrying on the spirit of the INSPIRE competition from years ago, Inspired BURST! is a new weapon creation competition focused on adapting things from other games into MM8BDM weapons!

"But Korby, I am not good at creating weapons!" you say to yourself, as I cannot hear you through your monitor. "How could I possibly win?!"

Good news, strawman I have invented! On the Official MM8BDM Wiki, we have two, count them TWO very detailed weapon tutorials! That's right, we've got a beginner's guide to using the V6B tools to make a weapon, and even an advanced one showing some of the more complicated tools!

If that's still not enough for you, I'm sure someone would be happy to help you in the MM8BDM Discord! Probably.

This competition will work in two stages; A submission stage and a judging stage.
Submissions will run until September 28th!
Afterward, the judging stage begins!
The three of us judges, Russel, Trillster, and myself (Korby) will attempt to have judging done by October 12th.
The goal of this phase is to have public servers running the weapons in a variety of modes to see how they play in real matches!

The first place winner of this competition will receive the Blacksmith medal!
Second and Third place winners of this competition will instead receive the Blacksmith (Runner-Up) medal!

Without further adieu, here are the official rules!
