Friends, hello everyone! On the Mr.BoS channel and on the STMods.ru website, as well as with the participation of everyone who cares about this game, a joint contest for the BEST MAP of 2018 is being held! Any map maker can participate in the contest. The main condition is that the map must be at least 32x32 in size and must be new (not a conversion from an old version of the game) and not publicly available. It is welcomed if you specify which mods are recommended for playing the map. Everything else is up to the discretion and imagination of the map makers.

The prize fund is 7000 rubles. Participation in the contest is free. You must submit an application to participate on the STMods.ru website by leaving a comment under this post. The last day to submit a map for the contest is May 3, 2018. Send the map for review and the contest via private message on VK or Discord or any other convenient way either to Mr.BoS (Alexander Zadorin on VK) or Alexey Sinev.

All maps that enter the contest will be tested and played through on the Mr.BoS channel. After playing them, voting will be held on the STMods.ru website and in the Mr.BoS VK group. All votes will be counted and taken into account.

After the voting, all maps will be made publicly available and uploaded by the map authors to the STMods.ru website. The maps will be played under code names (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). The map authors will also be revealed only after the voting to minimize biased voting. We do this to make the voting as objective and fair as possible. Authors who try to campaign during the voting will be disqualified.
The voting period is 1 week after all maps have been played through!

Total prize fund 7000 rubles
1st place - 4000
2nd place - 2000
3rd place - 1000
Additional prize from Mr.BoS - the game ETS2 as a gift at his discretion.

Update 02.04.18:
Voting procedure: depending on the number of participants, we randomly divide them into groups of 4-5 maps. Within a week, we play through (or simply review) all the maps in the group. At the beginning of the next week after reviewing all the maps in the group, a (one-week) vote starts to choose the best map from that group. At the same time, maps from the next group are shown, with voting for them starting at the beginning of the following week, and so on until all maps have been reviewed.
After all maps have been reviewed and group votes held, a final vote is created, with participants being the maps that won their weekly votes. The results of this vote will determine the best map!

We remind you that during the stream of a contest map, no viewer (not even the author) is allowed to reveal either the name or, especially, the author of the map. Otherwise, the map will be excluded from the contest.

Good luck!

Update 03.05.18: submission of works is closed. The first weekly vote starts on Monday.

Update 12.05.18: at the request of voters - maps that made it to the final vote will be made publicly available during the voting period without author attribution, so voters can try out each map before voting.

Ahead of the release of the "Valley" expansion, we brought back the vehicle presentation to tell you about the new transport added to the game in the free expansion!

The C-6317 is one of the few vehicles capable of towing the new medium log trailer and carrying 7 cargo points at once.

The time has come for the developers to share news about MudRunner.

As we already know, public beta testing of Steam Workshop map support has been launched for PC players. This version also includes an updated editor.

Depending on how successful this testing goes, the developers plan to release an update for the stable PC version of the game. Please make sure you try the test version; your feedback is very valuable!

You can find out how to access the public beta here.

There is more news concerning the long-term development of the game.

The developers are very pleased with how players received the "Valley" DLC! It was the first expansion for Spintires: MudRunner, and it added not only a new map but also three new vehicles.

The developers are very happy that this content resonated with the community, and they are currently working on a similar expansion, which they plan to show us next month or a little later. The update will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. More details will be shared soon.

As we already know, work is underway on MudRunner USA (working title), and the developers are still aiming to release this project this year.

Obviously, MudRunner USA is being developed for the USA and will be set in America, where a huge part of the Spintires community is located, so the developers want to showcase the most popular local vehicles in this version of the game.

The developers continue to explore options for adding mods to the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner and thank modders for their contribution in helping make Spintires: MudRunner a better game, but, as always—there are no concrete plans for implementing mods right now. Most likely, mods for the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner will be implemented as DLC.

Finally, work on the Spintires: MudRunner version for Nintendo Switch is still ongoing. No details yet, but they promise to share more in the future.
