Definitely a bummer though...
I'm actually having to write my papers, and I still haven't made another map. I vote to hold off for another week or something, and potentially release a bigger pack. I am putting out an official request for anyone who knows how to make a map for quake in one sitting to do so.
i made one last night. took about 6 hours.. then i spent some of this evening tweaking it and making sure it played well. it didn't follow any of the themes mentioned, but let me know where to send it if you want it. You can send it to me!
The deadline for anyone else who's interested is 10pm eastern time, on monday the 29th. That ought to give everyone else plenty of time to whip something up! extensions will be docked half a mark for each day late. the theme is "CZG's anus".
I'm wondering what happened on #tf to have such hilarious theme :D Random off topic question, it's bugging me since this morning: The name of the map with the awkward green Chton puzzle where you have to run around in circles pushing buttons in different combinations to have all the electric bars line up,it is a base map and it came out not so long ago (I'd say around 2006/7?). It's driving me nuts.
Anyone who can help will be awarded a unique, custom cast http://www.edibleanus.com/eaimages/bigchoc_RESTORE.png You know you want it. I guess I should have read that link before clicking it (I read it after it started loading and since my PC at home is down I'm at work) so it really worried me that it'd be an actual anus.
Phew! I liked the whole Blair Witch/Shambler in the corner. Things deteriorated from there - ouch!
Just to let the many, many, mappers planning to map for this event who haven't quite finished or sent the map over to me yet...
I will be awake and on my computer early into tomorrow morning , so if you need a bit more time to finish up what you've got in the works (or to start something), you have it! None from me this week, btw, but maybe I can do one over the course of this coming week (I'll be out of town next weekend so that's a bust.)
A variation of turtlemapping: A turtle episode.
Everyone tries to create an entire episode within a week, each map only the size of a more sophisticated speedmap. One map a day, seven maps in total (or how many one can manage) per participant. Think rpgsmse. That is a GREAT idea!
But one that will definitely have to wait until a time when I'm less busy, haha! fuck all that though - it's definitely worth a try! It's definitely not easy to do, especially when you have any kind of life.
A while ago the speedmappers had like 4 weeks of speedmap themes lined up with a 5th week's goal being to refine the maps - The 4 Seasons of Quake or something like that. RPG was the only one afaik to string his speedmaps into an episode, but it wasn't a map a day, it was a 5-week project and only produced like 4 maps and a start map I think. A speedmap a day is nothx for me, but a more drawn out event would be okay. er, i have a refined e2 map and unrefined e3/e4 maps, did start an idbase one for e1 but never finished it. would be nice to pull something together sometime but i have other priorities atm
It's been some years and I still build on my maps from back then from time to time!
So maybe i a few years there will be a smal episode from me as well! to maybe do it RPG style for now. make an episode session by session... I suppose that's not thematic though - more just personal.
Has "start map" ever been done as a theme?
