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!

Well?

GO MAP.

The Final Trial 
Dumptruck, don't sell yourself short...I haven't seen design like yours from any of the screens so far...I love the enigmatic pyramid suspended in darkness! Also, that name.

Skacky, looks freaking awesome!

PulSar, hope you can pull a release!

As for me, I have been granted a golden few more hours to fine tune...my out of town trip is later than I thought so here goes the final mapping session! 
Wow, Skacky! 
These are gorgeous! I love how you got the real egyptian architectural style pinned down, but yet added your own extra twist to it. I bet you used a bunch of reference pics, right? I can't wait to play this... 
 
Mugwump, celling looks a pretty nice =)

Skacky, once again looks freaking awesome! 
 
Umm, I think you got the names mixed up: I'm not making anything for this jam... 
Ups =) 
Yes, I meant shot by Newhouse from the post #195. Probably not the whole dream is gone from me =) 
We Have To Upload Screenshots For The Map Preview Right? 
Should we send those to fifthelement too or just post em here 
Woops

Great Stuff So Far

hope you finish that map at some point. 
I Need Halp! 
I'm almost finished with my map, but I need yo help. I'm afk, writing from mobile. It's hard to find nice skybox this way. Can someone find/recommend one? What I need is clear sky, daylight, maybe desert or some canyon, but definitely clear sky.
I'll be back in few hours, so this will save me some time.

Please halp!

Thank you very much Sir!

Deadline Extended To Sunday? 
Is it possible I could finish working on my map into Sunday? Because not only do I have overnight job, but ALSO work during the day Friday that jussed passed and Sat as well, but Sunday? Free! 
Latest Submission Time

Please Note 
That if you submit that late then I will not be testing your map except to see if it loads! 
 
I've got a few hours for mapping today! 
 
...renaming my level retro6dlc_scampie :)

kinda sorta started making something way too big and didn't really commit to actually finishing it as much as I should've.

I'll do a speedmap today as something to actually include in the pack. 
Screenshots 
Nice, Shades! 
One funny thing I've noticed is that while the egyptian theme would have conjured more sunny images in my mind, it seems a majority of you guys went for a dark atmosphere instead. Not complaining, just an observation. 
Ok 
I managed to finish the layout and decor (though it's shorter than it was planned and more simple closer to the end) and now I have 1 hour to finish the gameplay. 
PuLSaR 
1 hour? What happened to Sunday (see post #217)? 
I'm Not Sure If I'll Be Able To Map On Sunday 
if I will, I'll submit the udated version
