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, 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!

FIREY OASIS

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. 
Bloughsburgh 
What texture wad you're using, that water texture looks just like what I was looking for, is it from hexen? 
Liquids.wad 
That's the name of the wad.

I wanted a mystic type water and the normal id waters were a bit dull for what I wanted.

It's aptly named: *sparkle 
Thank You~ 
 
Yes, That Water Texture Looks Cool 
Too bad for the outdoor section! I hope you keep it, perhaps for a possible standalone release or a whole new map altogether. At any rate, better have less and be ready than more and be sorry... 
Is The Dead Line Still Today? 
 
I Think It Was Extended 
But I'm working this weekend anyway so I wont have time to work any more on mine, so I submitted it just now. 
 
Sparkle was too bright, but thankfully that mercurius worked quite well.

I have little problem in one section of my map. I made trigger_once that calls teleports, to teleport scrags later as soon player goes to lower section, but for reasons that trigger gets triggered when player triggers other trigger on higher section. They don't share same names, so any of those triggers doesn't call this lower section trigger. How do I make vanilla Quake do exactly what it should do, why it decides to trigger something its not even targeted to do? 
Nevermind 
I seems to be fixed, after I added targetnames for those triggers, even though I don't call them by those names. 
Pulsar. 
That looks sweet as fuck.

Also doomer, looking good, like the lava theme. 
My Map Is Ready! 
can i just add a mediafire link here? i dont want to use my email. 
 
 
@Naitelveni Fifth extended the deadline to tomorrow, so you still have some time to work on it a bit more if you want.

@NewHouse that trigger gets triggered when player triggers other trigger
That's a whole lot of triggers! ;) 
 
A lot of triggers indeed~ Maybe I show at least something:

Ooh, two shamblers not looking at who's about to murder them. Poor guys...
Can't see much of your architecture but I like the ceiling with varied heights. 
 
Yeah, architecture is not main focus there* 
2 Maps Already Received!! 
 
Carmack's Karnak Submitted 
She's not gonna win any awards, but my play testers like it and I had a blast making it! I'm excited to see everyone's hard work on this jam!

Not Sure If I'll Make It 
I'm not sure if I'll be able to map tomorrow, tho there's not much left to make in the map. We'll see.
