Been Thinking About Jam 3.

#24759 posted by oh, that person on 2014/09/20 14:35:13

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.

Really?

No one?

#24761 posted by Spirit on 2014/09/21 17:50:51

Just what FifthElephant and I are thinking.

#24762 posted by necros on 2014/09/21 17:51:45

i don't plan on participating in any jams, but i felt the previous two were good because the theme was something very distinctive.

saying a honey map, or ikwhite map evokes a look and feel which, while it can vary between mappers, is still quite specific.

you might have better luck picking something that is very familiar to everyone but hasn't been explored to death (eg: id runic for example which has 1M + 1 maps)

i think it's why the coagula contests did so well.

So shutting down a qexpo this year wasn't enough for you, now you've gotta shit over a map jam.

Never Did Anything Like That

I am only gracing your post with a reply because I am not even sure if it is supposed to be superleltrollderpingrofl or if you are actually deluded enough to believe in it.

Why can't we all just be fluffy friends and love eachother?

Get A Room

#24766 posted by ijed on 2014/09/21 21:36:03

And yes, you need a much tighter theme for a jam.

I have a suggestion: Kingpin textures

Kingpin Textures Is Just As Vague As Zerst�rer Textures.

#24768 posted by oh, that person on 2014/09/21 21:39:32

No It's Not

#24769 posted by ijed on 2014/09/21 22:07:24

Zerstorer had multiple texture styles. And then you changed it to brutality.

#24770 posted by oh, that person on 2014/09/21 22:55:02

A theme should be more than a texture set, like I already told you above.
