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). 

...even if I don't submit shit anymore :(

You go, Drew!!! 

Thats nice Generic, but what I really want is for you to submit to me.

Coco, there is an optional theme - quantity over quality.

Doomer, good to know, hope you have fun with
It! 

It's one of the rules for speedmapping events, but if i think about it, that is also probably the rule we break the most in speedmapping, so i can see why you put it out and say that it is optional, apart from the fact that the theme on speedmaps by tradition was always optional, we just got accustomed to follow it.

Looking at it from a different perspective it can lead to an hordish combat map or a big with almost no detail map, and make that the theme. Hmmm ... maybe i'll do another one, now that i have a theme the ideas pop in my head way faster.

And lastly, ..., i am sorry for you, but i am not the Coco, i ain't going to eat you no matter how much you call me like that :) 

Look at the original quantity over quality SM pack. Xen did a really nice one for that. 

 

 

Hope you find some time to whip something big and shitty up!

Crappy non-permanent link that OTP and others will hate, because I am lazy and also, like, whatever. It's 4 am.

I'll try to find time to make another one for the 28th, but we'll see! 

You said

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

so i thought you did to avoid granularity in the release and show all together to the community.
