Func_Msgboard: Retro Jam 1 Pack Released!

Posted by Shambler on 2014/11/23 23:16:43

That stealthy sock organised a Twitter-exclusive map jam this weekend. Whether it was to restrict the number of participants or clamp down on excessive JAM HYPE, who knows...

What we do know is that the theme implies some sort of old skool Quake homage, and it's been released right here:

Geez ! That pack was highly unexpected !

Small maps, but nice and fun.

Sock, there's a scrag close to the exit that I can hear, but can't see. He was the last bad guy I missed somehow. I think it's stuck inside a wall or something.

Thanks a lot for the nice pack guys !

2014 is pretty close to be the greatest Quake1 year ever.

ericw: Nice and sweet. Gameplay was cool, aesthetics were pretty retro. I liked the sheer verticality of it!

mfx: Cool map but, man, it is impossible on skill 3. It really is, even with the secrets. There's just not enough ammo and health and/or too many unforgiving situations (silver key and slime pit). I like the style and the skybox is great. The sinking crates were a nice touch!

Scampie: The most retro of them all. I love the lighting. Gameplay was on the easy side even though I did manage to get blasted by the Vore.

sock: Fantastic! The layout is very good, the secrets are clever and the situations are all pretty neat. The aesthetics reminded me of a mix between Zendar and Shadow Over Innsmouth. I love that open-ended exploration gameplay and I love how you funnel monsters in.

That jam was really cool overall, both mapping and playing.

My First Plays

I played the maps and enjoyed myself. I regret not finishing mfx's map after two attempts, because I ran out of ammo both times. I'll try again some other day.

I hope Skacky is amused by my multiple attempts, last of which is actually good enough to complete the map. (There's a little bit of silver key - silver door confusion there at the end too.)
