Speedmapping Thread!
From now on, this thread will be the place to discuss speedmapping issues. This will also be where all speedmapping events will be annouced. This is just an effort to keep General Abuse on it's topic of 'anything' rather than being about speedmapping every weekend.

Reasons = October Isaac Release? 
 
 
Another Halloween map pack? 
 
remix end.bsp 
Lun 
OK 
So 
speedmap sessions are officially dead and now is the reign of jams ...

I'm gonna miss them. Well, when i get my health, time and a computer back i'll try to promote them, or at least make some packs myself, as speedmapping is the thing that drove me for mapping the most in these last years. 
E4 Retrojam??? 
 
Everyone Threatens E4 
but no-one ever dares to do it ;) 
 
Would be OK ... make ugly, random maps that make no sense. Done. :P 
 
You forgot the "shit your pants" factor. 
E4 
Don't be so quick to write off E4. There's something about it that still freaks me out. Probably the deep shadows, wandering fiends, and periods of silence broken only by the sound of monsters teleporting around, triggered by god knows what.

You are a luddite. 
 
e4 remakes needs to be a proper jam, not a weekend thing. 
I Don't Want An E4 Jam :( 
 
I Would Argue 
That while they're not random and ugly, a tight deadline would definitely help in recreating the production values of the original E4 maps. 
 
I would say don't try to emulate the E4 production values, but try to capture the oldskool gameplay. The environment is the real enemy in E4 - lots of tricks, traps, and shadows. It really puts me on edge. 
Fuck I Love E4. 
Let's do this. How does Oct 9 to 11 sound? 
You Fuckers 
 
 
Zwiffle: Episode 4 is pretty diverse, you can do basically anything as long as it's kind of dark and there are power ups.

It's a weekend mapping thing, E4 inspired maps sounds simple and open enough of a theme. 
 
so don't call it e4.

call it "dark and deadly."

the dark and deadly jam. 
Dark And Sticky Jam? 
 
By Xmas I Will Have A Computer 
And a bit of time to make speed maps with you Zwiffle 
The Jam Of Elder Magic 
 
Blah 
I like Retro Jam 4: Episode 4


Quake is dark and deadly more often than not. 
E4 Map Title Inspired 
E4 jam where you ignore the real E4 and instead just work from the level titles. "The Nameless City" could own. 
Python2 
exec """\nfrom random import choice, randint\n\ndef funfunfun():\n scampiesuxx = ("Sewage","Elder","Nameless","Pain","Azure","Hell","Maze","World","Tower","God")\n negkerulez = ("System","Shrine","Palace","Hell","Maze","World","Tower","God","Atrium","City","Agony")\n spiritistehleader = ("of Despair","of Hate")\n maybeormaybenot = choice(("The ", ""))\n suxxx = choice(scampiesuxx)\n kkk = choice(negkerulez)\n \n while(suxxx == kkk):\n kkk = choice(negkerulez)\n \n if randint(0,5) == 0:\n jem = " "+choice(spiritistehleader)\n else:\n jem = ""\n \n return (maybeormaybenot+suxxx+" "+kkk+jem)\n \nfor x in range(12):\n print(funfunfun())\n"""
