I suggest the theme: illusions 

Doom 

If that is the theme i have one already, that did 14 years ago, it is a DM one. Is this what you were thinking when you say illusions? 

Haha. Not necessarily imply func_illusionary for theme "illusion". We could show more imagination than just use this entity. 

Infighting 

Speedmaps, not turtlemaps. 

What's speedmap? 100 minutes? It's drearily 

That would be hard and challenging. Apart from some examples (sm175) where there are some turtlemaps, most are in the middle, neither 100 minutes map or a full week map. For example mine took two days (16 hours the first (8 spent on the damn caves and surrounding the valley terrain brushes) and 6-8 for the second). 

I often took longer than two hours myself, but always did the map in a single session. If anything, this should be the compromise. 

These more sophisticated maps would be better off as a small-scale community project rather than a speedmap pack. Although it might as well be a case of motivation and expectation. A different premise - doing a bigger "speedmap" feels like less pressure than a small "normal" map even if both would be pretty much the same. 

A community project is something good, but as far as i see, in this community, the things closer to that are chain speedmaps and huge episodes projects (nehahra). Isn't it?

What you were considering as a comunity project? Something like sm175, made into an small episode or just by adding an start and end map, but better organized and with communication between the members to make the maps similar? 

my last speedmap for sm175 was done in a single session. Granted that session was like 8 hours long at least (with food breaks).

100 minutes is crazy, I'm sure I could do it but it would be a pile of crap ;) 

the next theme for the SM is lava! 

When deadline? 

 

Map Jamming has suddenly, but also completely, destroyed the speedmapping tradition which flourished for so many years in this community.
Any 'speedmaps' that might be made will inevitably be so only in name.

That being said I suggest the next speedmap theme be "Honey jam runoff". 

I doubt speedmapping has been killed off by the mapping jam. If anything speedmapping is probably going to be speedier, like it used to be. 

 

"Finish OTP's shitty jam half-entry" 

If we did that we wouldn't be able to take this piss. 

When are you going to finish? 

As the jam has stopped flowing, I thought I'd suggest a good old fashioned speed map event.

The theme is 'quantity over quality' as in a previous session, but as per usual is totally optional.

Send your maps to my email by Aug. 28th. 

 

I'm will start my sm_176 map tommorow. 

No theme this time?

Well, i have the map i did for sm170 around somewhere, maybe i could submit it for this session.

I won't tell you for sure if i submit it. After submitting the last two without betatesters and unfnished, i won't submit this one if i am not sure it doesn't have any major issues.

By the way, Drew, as you probably know, in this events, at least half of the people that submit something at the end, haven't said a thing in the thread (i don't know about Terrafusion).
