" The ikwhite theme is a disguised way of showing off brushwork with lighting. The texture set finds a thematically appropriate way to step backwards in contrast and importance, making even subtle changes in color and brightness into showcases. Some people will grasp this (although maybe fewer, since even the original ikspqs don't provide as clear an example as honey and saint), and others will take it to mean only 'use that white brick everywhere.'"
It's a nicer way of saying ikwhite's blandness promotes shitty visuals unless you're good at lighting and angles instead to bring some contrast out, because the textures won't do it. But at least ikblue is in there, I like ikblue. Dislike ikwhite. Can't help feeling that skacky's screens would have looked even more awesome with some different tones/colours in the textures instead of all dirty grey. ie unreal, q3, heretic, dkt textures.
Has anyone tried layers, one level ikblue, then above it ikwhite? ikwhite with ikblue trims/details clearly didn't look right.

It's a poor country. We get that. Traveling there is still an experience I want to have before I die. It's a country with incredible history and depth.

I agree with you, India is one billion times worth it. I actually LOVE India. Been there two times, and want to go back there during the following years.
Everything is beautifull there, **even** the pollution and the poverty.
You could took some nice pictures of the shit on the floor (no jokes!). Here's an example :

Traveling through India is like an awesome road adventure movie.
Everything you see is extraordinary. For example, I came across these guys on the road. Only in India you could see things like this :

I could post literally thousands of pictures of incredible India here.
Just to stay on topic :

The red windows (rectangle and circle ones) are from knave, yes, with slight modification so they work in ikblue.

I might not put out a map for this map jam. I said that I was going to try to make a map for this, but it turns out that I don't need to make one anymore.

Ordered a new motherboard from ebay. My SATA controller is the culprit I think. Damn P67 B2 motherboard! I should be able to boot to my old Windows partition though, and retrieve my MAP SOURCES!!! (Including my Jam2 entry, which I was working on last night until the dreaded BSOD) (AAAAAAARRGHHHH!!!!!!)
