Retro Jam 6 - Egyptian
Retro Jam 6!!

Retro Jams are vanilla style, id1 only, and can be of any build quality.

The theme is Egyptian, so think pyramids, tombs, catacombs, sandstone walls, arches, columns, pillars, obelisks, temples, deserts, dusty canyons etc
If you want to include a custom skybox that's fine. Suggestions might be sunset/rise, dusty/stormy, starry night-time, moonlit.


Theme - Egypt
Deadline - 30th December

Lots more info in the guideline link below!

Well?

GO MAP.

Looking Great Everyone 
Sadly I'm stuck without means to map until the 28th, I'm going to have to step up my game. 
Xmas WIP 
Happy whatever everyone!

Here is a WIP of my entry:

Blough 
Looks good man, love the ankh in the water :) 
 
my scope is pretty large for this one, I'll try and keep my geometry pretty simple to achieve it. 
Nice One Guys. 
Such hype, so Egypt, much wow.

iPowell, looks good.

Scampie, dark as fuck but what I can see looks ace.

Bloodshot, nice lighting in the first one, epic scale in the 2nd.

Bloughsburgh, some crazy vibes in that, looks cool, keep the water as a consistent motif.

Great stuff that people are going for it. Hope some people are doing some more outside dusty temple shizzle.....replayed Sadlark8 recently and for all it's crampedness it's still got a cool vibe, very consistent throughout. 
 
I personally try to hold back and not send any screenshots until the very end. But it will be something interesting for sure. 
 
@Scampie That pharaoh texture looks badass! Nice atmosphere you got going.

@Bloodshot Exterior looks great, first pic could use a more contrasted lighting. Same goes for @Mukor's screenshot (you might also wanna use a skybox).

@Bloughsburgh Yeah, that's the stuff, pal! Looks amazing. 
 
Thanks for throwing this jam!

I somehow managed to make a whole map in 2 days time.

Who needs sleep? 
Ello Guys 
Looking great all ya, go map! 
 
Remember folks, that Egyptian architecture originally had more color in it; just like Greece and Rome, the paint would wear away before the stone. Contrast opportunities abound.

@shadesmaster 
Thanks, that gives a lot of new ideas. 
 
Fifth: Thanks man!

Shambler: That's the idea!

Mug: Cheers! 
Hope Everyone Had A Relaxing Cristmas! :) 
 
Damn, lots of cool maps for this jam! 
Looks Great Naitelveni 
 
 
Really hyped for it.

Hope to see something Serious Sam inspired aswell, afterall, its Egypt 
Naaite, Cool Designs Bro. 
Also a SS style quake horde map would be cool. 
This Is My Contribution So Far 
Now That, 
Is exactly the sort of shizzle I'm on about. Lovely. 
Lovely Shots 
everyone. 
This Probably Won't Amount To Much... 
The holidays leave me with little time, but maybe I can get something small pulled together.

Nice As Always 
Hope you are able to get a release out! 
Progression 
im now done with the basic layout of my map, and now im working on lights, then i will make triggers and monsters and then ill check for bugs. 
Great Jam So Far! 
Looking good already! Starting tomorrow I'll have 3 Days to make something small for this, 
Question 
Will there be a start map created for this? This looks like it could be as big as Jam6! What is it about the number 6...

Just curious, doesn't matter either way.

inb4 start map isn't important to a jam
