Blame My Bitcoin-mining Friend 
'Xander'. He retired a pair of R9 280Xs on Friday. Just because their value for mining has dropped off. Sold me one for �120 which is awesome because they still retail for �200. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY NO?!?? So I got that yesterday morning and naturally have been gaming rather than mapping 
Sorry... 
I've not worked on my map at all but that's because I've recently met someone and spent a lot of time with them. I'm off today but a bit hungover. I feel bad for not releasing and working lates next week means I can't do much there either.

To do -

item placement
final arena fight and texturing/lighting
Some moving brushes like lifts connecting areas.
Starting area needs a couple more rooms.

Sorry guys, feel like a let down. 
You Fucks 
Just seal them and put an exit. That's exactly what I did in jam1. 
Yeah.... 
We can tell ;) 
P.S. 
Fifth, congrats, is he hot?? 
 
I have a shitty thing in a shitty room and it's shitty. I'll be practicing what I preached (praught?) and adding an exit but right now the best thing about it is the name. 
No Shit Shambler.

Hey Now 
no making fun of having relationships or being hungover. Sure, our patron saint HPL hardly if ever did either, but we can't all have that level of misanthropic puritanical virtue can we. 
Lol Shambler 
exit triggers is what counts, nothing more. 
Important Question 
is anyone else using a rune in their map? I have the episode 2 rune in mine, and it occurs to me that I don't think it spawns if you already have it... It's kind of important it does. 
Shambler... 
if only a bear like me could attract a beautiful smooth skinned young lad to call my own... but no, I'm a hairy metal head guy with a penchant for tubby girls.

Ericw has offered to help me finish the map. So hopefully he'll be able to make something close to my vision of the map. Or hell, make it better. His Jam 1 map was short and sweet and my jam 2 map is similar. 
Aww.. 
 
Rune Doesn't Matter 
There's no start map. 
Isn't There? 
I was expecting one. 
I Thought Sock 
was going to do a start map this time? I mean, why else does he want numbers?

I tidied up a couple of things for my jam map before passing it over to ericw. It's in his hands now and if he wants to mutate it away from my original vision that's cool.
There's actually something very exciting about handing over an unfinished map to someone and seeing what they do with it. The collab between ionous and mfx ended up being awesome for example. 
I Liked That 
working on someone elses base was more exciting then i had expected.

Felt more free to just build and extent the already existing pacing. It was cool.

And the fact that the .map i got from Ionous was very tidy and neat build. It compiled with no warnings or sth. Totally different to my maps:) 
That Should Be The T Heme Of The Next Jam? 
 
Yeah Pretty Excited 
thanks fifth for trusting me with your map, will try to produce a cool finished product :)

@sock, just to be clear, I won't be submitting a separate entry myself 
List UPDATE 
so far:

Skacky
Scampie
Mfx
Tronyn
Fifth/Eric
OTP (unconfirmed)
Lunaran

Anyone else?

There is no start map. Once I get all the maps I will test them, zip them, setup a screenshot and talk to spirit/negke for a QA release.

@Digs, that is a great shame, I was really looking forward to a wacky digs blue/white map 
Next Theme? 
How about one do the gameplay/blocking and the other the rest? Or something like a chainmap ...

* Sock, you forgot to put me in the list ;) 
Im Tempted To Do A Start Map 
just thinking aloud 
List UPDATE 
so far:

Skacky
Scampie
Mfx
Tronyn
Fifth/Eric
OTP (unconfirmed)
Lunaran
Cocerello

Anyone else?

@Mfx, no start map required, I suggest you spend time on your map entry instead, it looked awesome last screenshot I saw. 
I Liked The Idea Of A Start Map 
as was shown in that other community thing nobody wants to talk about anymore, such connecting start map is very immersive and..

8 entries? I�m freaking out.. 
Derp Its 9 
forgot socks. 
 
@sock: I do not like a jam2 style. And now I'm working on another map
