Today, the FactionFiles team is very happy to announce something that's been in the hopper for a while - we're partnering with our friends at Reload Magazine for a Red Faction mapping Jam in the month of October!

The goal for this Jam is to inject some new life into the RF modding scene, and also help expose the broader FPS gaming community to Red Faction as a robust platform for mods and custom levels.

All of the details on the Jam are listed below. Be sure to head to the #workshop channel on the FF Discord if you have any questions

As well, be sure to check out our partner - Reload Magazine on Discord

Event: Reload Magazine x FactionFiles Red Faction SP Jam
Dates: October 1st - October 21st 2022.
Task: Create a single-player level or short campaign for the game "Red Faction".

Rules:
- Your submission must be a new single-player level or campaign, not a project you'd already started in the past.
- There is no required theme for your submission, and you are on the honor system to only make your project within the allotted time frame.
- You may create a conversion mod to accompany your single-player level or campaign, but you do not have to do so.
- Don't use ripped assets. Make your own assets or use stuff you are licensed to use from legit sources. It is perfectly fine to start working on creating assets before the jam period starts, just don't starting making the levels themselves until the jam starts.
- Your entry can also use any amount of assets available in the base Red Faction game, but we strongly encourage you to use custom assets where it makes sense. We want to inject new life into the RF Modding scene with this jam. You get bonus internet points if you allow your art to be open-licensed for future Red Faction modders.
- No hateful (racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.) or sexually explicit content is allowed.
- Your level or campaign MUST be designed for single-player. Wow us with what you can do!
- The jam is ranked. This is our hand-picked panel of judges that will be ranking submissions:

- Zach Murphy
- Major Arlene
- Chris "Goober" Parsons
- Duane Jones
- MR_ICARUS
