I have been pissing about with making heretic 2 maps in the last 2 days (using quark, I feel like a dirty slut).
I could have done it probably! Maybe in the next couple o' days? @fifth, next time I will allow time for it, my mistake, lesson learned.
Next map jam will be going up in a week or so. @Func Admin, please could we keep all chat/news on the map jam 1 in this thread? I asked Vondur to update the top of this thread with the latest links, then at least everyone can post demos in one place. through the maps and I gotta say there's some gems here.
I really love what Ionous did with his entry. The quality of the maps is super high! You could have done that.
Change of topic: have to download all those gems. I think ionous/mfx's was the most visually impressive. Absolutely killer architecture everywhere.
About the start map, why don't you take the one you made previously ?
Just adapt it tp this release. OK I played all of the maps but mine:
http://rickyt23.com/files/ricky_jam1_demos.zip I died quite quick in ericw's map, the others I got almost to the end or I finished... 1 - Skacky
2 - Scampie 3 - Sock 4 - Digs 5 - Fifth They were all cool. I liked the map with the black fog ;) You guys are gods !
This release is absolutly awesome ! The global quality of the maps is really high, I didn't expected this for a Jam party. My favorite maps are (in random order) : - ionous, - scampie - skacky - sock (great scrags surprise party in there !) The replayability of these maps is really great. Can't be bored with them ! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO HAVE MADE ALL THESE MAPS ! otp, the black fog is fun, but dude, what's wrong with your penis ? Is that a texture problem ? Your penis stamped on many walls... skill2 demos
Great maps everyone! I highly enjoyed them, and the jam as a whole went amazing. Been a long time since there was a fun community event like this and lots of people talking and excited for it. Thank you sock for putting it together, and for everyone for making it a fun time to map. Ionous/mfx's map is seriously one of the best Quake environments I've seen, and it's a fun map to boot. Along with Skacky's and Sock's, if these maps were just regular releases, they'd be a 5/5 in my book. The only real shame with jam1_ionous is that the exit trigger is a bit sudden. Skacky's a great long map, with some fun uses of monster jumps and some really clever secrets. Sock's is one of his amazingly connected layouts with a bunch of fun combat and great detailing. Fifth's map was fun and decent looking, but maybe a bit straight forward. I like the Oblivion gate at the Gold Key! Digs... this isn't in the demo because my first play was testing the pack for sock and I ran out of ammo before realizing where the zombie was! But after that the map was fun... except I died right before leaving... the silver key door is the greatest silver key door in the history of Quake though! :D After that, I have to say that ericw's map has a great environment and I wish it had been longer, because I was really digging it... though the ammo balance could've been better! On the other hand, Ricky's felt a bit too long, the 'kill 10 shamblers' quest was neat, but I felt dragged on a bit due to the size and length of the area. Doomer had some nice look here and there, but overall the rooms seemed huge and empty, and the buttons didn't communicate well what they did. Mechtech's map I think the grenade launcher was misplaced? Sad that you get it after you get the gold key and right before the map ends. Really short map anyway. Arrrcee's map is a bit ugly construction wise, but the idea for the theme is neat. I like all the waterfalls! As for my map... well, I wrote some stuff about speedmapping and of the construction of my map on my site if you want to read about it. I wrote the post few days ago and was waiting for the jam to post it. Again, great maps every body! Excited for next jam, but I think I might only do a 1 or 2 day map next time. Great map. I played on hard but died with 2 Shambie's to go. It split the demo up, sorry :(
http://www.inchoate.com/qdemo/jam1_rickyt23_demo.7z the hidden theme of this pack was also: dogs
for unknown reason, so many of us used dogs in our maps! (I know why I did, I intentionally wanted to use every enemy except fish) Turning the project discussion thread into a news/release thread is counterproductive. What a mess.
Hurray for the pack, though! i thought it was even weirder having a news thread on the front page closed with a link to another thread.
Scampie found all the secrets and got all the kills. I'm going to demo all the maps later on during the day.
