Func_Msgboard: MapJam 8

Posted by Shamblernaut on 2016/09/13 21:57:01

Cool jazz slides it's way into your eardrums, your companion draws in her cigarette, letting the smoke curl out slowly from her mouth. You take a sip of your vermouth and realise that it's time to get your black and white on.

This jam oozes sexiness and grittiness.

The rules are, greyscale only (fullbright color highlights are allowed). Being that making textures may be required, the deadline is Saturday October 8th.

The maps should be designed for or compatible with ARCANE DIMENSIONS https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/ad_v1_42final.html so get with that shizzle yo.

For your consumption:

A small album with some theme images:

Have fun mapping!

I love it. Good work Ionous.

Also I love that Kreathor. Should put hats on the ogres too ;). (hell, they're basically fat guys with chainsaws, just a reskin would suffice).

I expect to see lots of grunts and dogs. Would be funny to see some of the other enemies redone but that's a lot of work.

Looking good, maybe hats are just enough for some enemies? Unless you're filling to re-skin most of basic enemies like enforcers, ogres etc. ?

That looks really good khreathor.

#86 posted by negke on 2016/09/19 09:17:22

Yeah, quite hilarious.

Though keep in mind that, as far as I understand, Film Noir is meant mostly as a catchy title for the actual theme that is B&W, not necessarily having to be based on 1940s crime fiction.

Lose The Suit

was much better with just the hat.

I Like The Suit

#88 posted by Kinn on 2016/09/19 11:36:42

But really all you need to do is just put a fedora on every single monster and it will be absolute gold

#89 posted by Mugwump on 2016/09/19 11:56:09

It all depends on whether he shoots for Casablanca or Grim Fandango. But yeah, it would be interesting to see some comedy in Quake. Oh, great! Now I can't unpicture a vore sporting a fedora...

Thanks!

#90 posted by khreathor on 2016/09/19 12:49:38

#86 - yeah I keep that in mind. Afaik Ionous is making "Night of the Living Dead" themed map, but I don't think original grunts would fit this theme anyway.

#87 & #88 - I can prepare fedora for every monster :)

I have prepared this model mostly for fun and to learn proper mdl export pipeline. It's not obligatory, I'm fine if you don't want to use it.
I would like to modify other models too, maybe make some mod in the future?

I have few ideas for other enemies. For example Enforcer could be a guy in vested suit with retro-blaster from 40s. Something like guys in "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified".

Keep The Suit

Hilarious stuff!

Hahaha Khreathor, this is amazing!

#94 posted by Mugwump on 2016/09/19 16:09:41

"Ionous is making "Night of the Living Dead" themed map"
I suppose it means we're gonna blow up hordes of zombies real soon... Cool!

"Enforcer could be a guy in vested suit with retro-blaster from 40s"
Yeah, 1940s MIB! Sold.

yeah, the knight re-skinned to hold a baseball bat or 2x4 :)

I doubted this jam but it seems to be shaping up nicely

Never underestimate the power of imagination. The oddest premises can boost creativity. If I was experienced enough, I know I would have loved the challenge.

oh, thank you very much! BTW is semi-cyberpunk film noir theme fine too? I would like to combine technology a bit with that timeline.

#100 posted by Newhouse on 2016/09/20 23:49:38

After all I need to do something like that, so it makes sense why there is monsters/laser enforcers and so on, they're from different planet I guess..

I really hope Quake didn't have any specific information about Earth and so on. It is a bit hard to figure out how to do things.. because I really want to include every jam map to bigger pack (episode) in the future. This maps theme is so different that it must be some kind of secret level.. like one in Episode 4 "The Nameless City".
