The jam admin (me) will NOT be submitting a map.

Maybe a start map? 

Should(could?) be enhanced/advanced version of the original DM map as a homage. 

Maybe. I've changed my mind about making a map but not sure how many submissions. No one is posting too much about this one. (sigh) 

I only have a few spread out hours this week but I can do something with the same detail level as the original 

I'm tempted to join, but don't know yet how much time I'll have during the week. 

I'll def give this a try. Dunno if I'll have enough time, but I'll try to be realistic and start something I can finish. 

I won't even have time for a quick map, but it's a cool idea. Also, fucking epic if Bal makes one! 

with the deadline. If this keeps people from making a map then it needs to be changed.

I'll make one extension right now.

New and final deadline is: Sunday March 11th at 18:00 func time.

I'd like to test/package this on a Sunday evening because I won't have free time during the week. And hell I'm gonna make a map for this too but I'll respect the deadline.

I won't extend this again to make things fair for everyone who decides to make a map. :) If you can't make the deadline you can do a solo release afterward in this thread. Thanks! 

Today I started my map for this jam. 

Go Map! 

Okay. No more lurking. I'll give this a shot, even if the deadline is a bit tight. 

I didn't think I'd be interested, but then started up Jack just to doodle and was immediately smiling at my results. The challenge of using only a handful of textures has me hooked; I know we can use others if we want to, but I'm going to try to limit myself for the fun of it.

One stupid question just to clarify: this is for stock ID1, correct? The OP doesn't explicitly say, and I took the mention of Arcane Dimensions to be only a reference to its level of architectural detail, not suggesting that we're building maps for it, or any other mod for that matter. 

As for textures, you can use whatever as long as it sticks to the dm4 theme (I.E. Blue metal, lava, etc.) 

@tens Sorry I wasn't more clear. Honestly, it was a drunk post. :) NO ALL NIGHTERS on this one.

Vanilla this time.

@Aristical Very cool. Jump in. Make something small. Doesn't have to a masterpiece. Mine certainly won't be! Jams are really just an exercise in pushing yourself to make decisions quickly IMO. 

I promise if I get so close to the deadline that I'd be tempted to stay up, I'll put my foot down instead and turn my entry into a standalone map. I'd rather be part of the fun, of course, so I'll endeavor to keep my work small in scope. Thanks for clearing that up! Probably wasn't necessary for anyone else, but I wanted to make sure I didn't spend two weeks working off a careless assumption. 

updated thread with the new deadline. 

 

eom 

 

Thanks for the edit hombre. Yeah I'm actually making one. 

I like the idea of this even though I've never done a single player map. Quite interested to see what comes out. I had a quick run around dm4 last night checking out the architecture. It seems the one squiggly texture was only used in one spot on the map (corners in passage heading to YA) so may have been accidental. @Mankrip considering what the jam is I almost want to suggest using the original DM4 slightly edited as a start map for it. 

But I want to give this a shot. The recent video series on Trenchbroom has me interested in trying my hand at this. I'm a huge quake fan but have never made a map before. Walking around the theme map and looking at the texture set has given me a few ideas I want to try and build. You may see more of me around asking questions as the deadline draws near. 

As I mentioned on r/quake go for it!

If I can do it anyone can. If you need help just ping me. And note the TB Discord link. https://discord.gg/n7K8Cps
