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!

Jam Guidelines / Texture Wad

Well?

GO MAP.

Whew 
I was literally just saying to myself: "Well it was fun but you aren't gonna make the deadline. Time to stop."

Glad there's an extension! 
Right Pulsar 
 
An Mfx Map For This Jam 
would have been great! You could always start and if you don't make the extended deadline, release it later as a dlc. Go map! 
OKOK 
i try. 
More Shots 
Digging The Dark Lighting, 5th 
 
Egypt Wads Not Displaying In Jack 
Grabbed both the jam WAD and sock's WAD. Dropped them in id1 and added them to the Quake texture list in JACK. Yet, JACK only sees 3 textures in the egyptwad.wad and none in sock_eg.wad. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a particular directory they need to be loaded in? 
I Should Also Mention 
JACK counts 56 textures in egyptwad.wad and 349 textures in sock_eg.wad so I'm doubly confused. They don't show up in the texture browser, and yes, I have the "Only used textures" box unchecked, with no filters. 
More Screenshots 
Wow! 
I went to Egypt when I was a kid and these columns have a real genuine egyptian feel. They brought some memories back, reminded me of Luxor/Karnak. Well done! Bonne nuit. 
Very Moody Skacky 
 
Progress 
This is an undertaking to say the least. I think I need to think smaller when it comes to jams from now on.

Still, I am rather content with what I have so far.

I also use Jack (steam version 1.1.1212) and haven't any problems with displaying textures fron all wads. All used wads i'm plce into "D:games_quakeid1" and set it path as game basedir in JACK.

Fucking Hell Skacky. 
Also the other shots look great.

Also please please do a weekend extension for MFX xxx 
Where Do We Upload The Finished Maps 
I had to cut back some ideas to make the deadline, where do we upload this thing anyway? This is the first map jam I've ever done

@Mugwump been a private mapper since I was a kid. My first map for any game was a room with a lightning gun on a platform hanging from the ceiling in Quake 1, using QuArK. Only map I've ever released was a deathmatch map for Hexen 2 where there were 3 arenas separated by destructable floors, each with a different theme.

I've always toyed with Quake editors though, so I understand how to create a map properly for the most part, I've just never tested my gameplay with outside players beyond friends 
 
Just mail them to FifthElephant, his email is in his profile 
Looking Great, Bloughsman! 
I'm digging the water theme you got going, it's very uncharacteristic of Egypt. You seem to always think outside the box and that's what I love in your work so far. 
Some Progress 
 
Well, I've been working on a simple map for this as well. It's small and not completely done, but if the extended deadline ends than this is what we got!

Email To Me When Completed 
I'm not going to undo the extention. 
Some Progress 
I finished the basic layout and almost all of the main light. Tonight, to place additional light sources and the gaming entity. Also some work with textures is needed.

@PuLSaR
Verticcal gameplay& Interesting look.... 
PuLSaR & DOOMer 
Nice screenshots. You lot are all putting bunches of atmosphere into your maps. I have a good feeling about this... 
Screens 
Pulsar, looks dark and deep!

Doomer, Nice to see lava included...this jam will be a myriad of creative minds!

I myself have decided to omit a very large outdoor part as it just is too much to work on and I have to be complete by today as I am leaving out of town.

It brings a sense of comfort though, as I can polish the parts I do have! This has been a very fun experience! 
Unfinished 
Here is the section that will not make it in!

@Bloughsburgh 
I just can't imagine your map in Egyptian style without lava. I would like to make a map with outdoor space, but my skill is very bad in creating outdoor spaces for Quake. And I started my map too late.
