It's Going

It's cramped, but it is progressing. No Quoth ents are planned.

Area and encounter planning is about 90% completed, blocking out the areas and testing maneuverability has ~2 large rooms to go. Lighting/ent placement is not started and texture theme is not yet finalized.
Overall entity placement should be very quick due to the planning, and I tend to light faster than I make brushwork.

Finding time is not easy, but I shall do my best!

I can't seem to work around the technical limitations, as it has killed every idea i've tried to flesh out in the editor. I'm out. Good luck to everyone else.

We can figure that out soon. I guess I'll probably be the one collecting them. If you have webspace, I'd ask you to upload it there and mail the URL to me. If not, I'll have to figure out another way becuase I'd rather not get a bunch of maps in my mailbox.

#159 posted by Trinca on 2007/06/19 20:59:24

It doesn't look like that is going to be much of a problem after all :)

I won't have a map ready for the competition either for the same reasons mentioned before -- and for a few that I hold near and dear to my heart and refuse to share ;)

Deadline Extension?

#162 posted by metlslime on 2007/06/21 20:55:14

So, if extending the deadline a small amount (a week or two) would mean more maps, maybe we should do it. But I think it's up to the people who are mapping to decide whether that's okay.

What do you guys think?

#163 posted by Spirit on 2007/06/21 21:34:14

would be ok for me as i haven't done much the past days.

I'm Up For It

#164 posted by negke on 2007/06/21 21:34:44

Extending the deadline by two weeks would be nice. Though I still couldn't tell for sure if I'm able to finish the map by then.

#165 posted by Trinca on 2007/06/21 22:25:19

my map is ready :p lazy bitches ;) but i can wait of course you guys decide ;)

Also Okay

#166 posted by lurker on 2007/06/22 08:49:10

Extending the deadline by a week or two is fine by me.

#167 posted by rudl on 2007/06/22 09:14:07

I can live with another one or two weeks too
