Func_Msgboard: Retro Jam 6

Posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/23 00:37:25

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!

Jam Guidelines / Texture Wad

Well?

GO MAP.

I won't be able to map this weekend, but that's interesting for sure. I'm in.

Extra Egypt Textures

Are allowed as long as they're on theme.

Reason for no AD or no mission pack is due to the votes on twitter. Nothing stopping people releasing an extended version of their map later on. :)

Can I do retro ancient tech-pyramids?

Something like this:

interestingly sock_eg is mentioned as a jam wad in the "Jam Guidelines" link, but not in the post itself here.

Damn! Busy Week

I only have two free Days during christmas, I can make something small and rough though

'Extra' Egypt Textures

#17 posted by Sayok6 on 2016/12/23 11:22:34

So that means textures from the mission packs, right?

#18 posted by muk on 2016/12/23 11:27:48

Literally ANY textures so long as they are Egyptian themed. Period.

Nice

Maybe we should extend this to Dissolution of Eternity? Maps will benefit from enemies available in this mission pack.

#22 posted by oh, that person on 2016/12/23 12:03:28

Nothing can ever benefit from using Dissolution of Eternity content.

#23 posted by khreathor on 2016/12/23 12:05:28

lol, ok

Absolutely Top Theme And Long Overdue.

#24 posted by Shambler on 2016/12/23 12:13:54

Theme Is Egypt

#25 posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/23 12:36:31

So if you want to extend the theme a bit then cool. As long as it's recognisable as Egyptian at a glance!!!

:)

Also...

The reason I have made a jam is I need something to keep me busy and I guess I am not eligible for QUMP :(

#27 posted by PuLSaR on 2016/12/23 13:20:09

sock's ad egypt test map is a good example too

#28 posted by ＰＲＩＴＣＨＡＲＤ on 2016/12/23 14:07:43

Sadly I'm going to be away from my computer post-christmas so as much as I like the theme there's little chance of me making the deadline. Good luck with this one guys, maybe I'll make something egyptian and release it seperately later.

#29 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/23 14:24:15

I've been wanting to do an egyptian map at some point but the timing is really off for me, as I have more pressing matters to attend to (like finishing that MJ8 repack). Plus, I don't think I'd be able to make a playable map in such a short notice just yet. A project like QUMP is fine for me but a one- or two-week delay is just out of my league, at least for the time being.

I Would Like To
