Been Thinking About Jam 3.
So, the downtime between Jam 2 and Jam 3, which was
suggested and essentially agreed on at #tf, ended up being a bit longer than intended.
I think that we're in an ideal time to start a jam, right now - with a slightly
longer timeline than the previous two (jam 2 was already one week longer than the first), we'd have a pack ready right for halloween.
Which brings me to the most important point... what to do with the theme? After receiving enough bothering from be and Shambler, skacky was determined to go for Zerst�rer styled maps, which wouldn't be a bad idea per se. Thinking about it now, though, simply saying "zer" could be a slight step down from the previous two themes, which were unique and at the same time largely underexplored. The general
sentiment over here seems to be that the next theme should serve more as an inspiration, than a strict requirement, and should try to hint towards the map's theme as well as its gameplay.
That said, how would everybody interested in mapping for Jam 3 feel about
Brutality being the theme? You could do a Zer-style meat grinder map, or a fully runic map, or a "castle with a hundred traps" map, and it would fit such a theme just fine.
