Going to cheat on the Episode Jam for a brief spell.

I am in, no title yet! 

 

Be designed with water alpha 0.65 in mind

I see that in the readme, however Quoth has info_command/spawn which can send a message such as changing water alpha on load. My current concept would work with r_wateralpha set to 1 (Blood is thick and opaque here.)

This only affects the map with that entity in it.

Would this implementation be okay? 

Yes this is okay, I use that myself. 

I'm still on the fence about joining in...I have a knave episode I never released, though I would have to rename it now since I stole my own name for my mod...

And I think it might be cheating to use a ready made map(s) even if it would be cool to Quothify it and tidy up the strange bits and maybe add some sections.

Is there a rule against multimap entries? 

You can submit multiple entries but they won't be an episode. You can use a map as a base, but map jams are more about making new content. You can expand/change your map and submit it. And you can always make something brand new for this jam. 

 

You cheating whore....

I'll never forgive you.

T_T 

I'd recommend just releasing it now, and making something new for the jam. 

good luck guys, have fun with the jam :) 

Would be a shame to waste an episode in a non-sequential map jam. 

I can't promise anything but, I do have a radiant gamepack all set up to work with the content. If I have some ideas and it looks like I'm going to actually finish I'll have to convert the fgd to ent... not the biggest deal but, I'm not looking forward to it. Right now I'm just blocking things out with a wad full of grids. We'll see what happens. 

Do it. Even if it's a small map we'd love to play it. 

If you dive into it as you do coding, you gonna kill it! 

clean brushwork, guiding the player, rspeeds, clipping, any and every entity even if I've never heard of it or seen an example (cause I can [read/program in] qc)...blah blah blah. My problem is creativity and sometimes over-creativity (serious brush porn). However, I have a game plan and an idea. If I can find the discipline and time to finish this by the deadline it will be called "Wrong God". My map is going to be pretty much nothing like the games listed in the OP. I say this because I looked at the prefabs and they don't look a fucking thing like the style in my head. Maybe those games or some maps in them don't look like the prefabs either...I don't have time to go play all this stuff. I'm going to use the knave wad as stated in the requirements but, past that it's pretty much all my own thing.

That's awesome, I am doing the same. I am using knave textures but then just transforming it to the silly idea I have. I think that's the best part of map jam events. It's really interesting to see how a mapper interprets the theme at hand.

Looking forward to "Wrong God"! 

I have set up a Discord server for Jam 9, so we can better coordinate and post WIP shots, etc. Come say hello: https://discord.gg/QHkcVES

avengers need not apply. 

Bloughsie, I have complete trust in your creative skills as you have shown every single time since you popped up on the scene.

Gypsy, really curious as to what you're gonna make. Ever released a map before? 

Allow me if I may (not uncouthly I might hesitate to add) interject and briefly mention.. I SUCK ALL DICK 

Khreathor? 

Not exactly. Here are some screens of stuff I started though

An SP/MP map based on the idea of constantly transforming a small area. This map actually was turned into a mod by nahuel and I believe zop made a video play-through. Both were done before I even finished.

Not at all. I just happen to sincerely believe that Bloughsburgh is (one of) the most promising mappers of the new generation. What's wrong with a little due cheering? As for Gypsy, I already know him from QuakeOne.com.

@Gypsy Thanks for the screens. Maybe it's because the levels are unfinished but they look quite monochromatic. My favorites are the "shit that never went anywhere".
Demos need the .bsp to work. Hmmm... Jmappy, the name rings a bell. I think I have played it before.
