Spoons? I can not imagine what I can do 

How about surrealism? 

or does that deserve to be a turtle map?

examples of the style:

Nice idea. I like It 

Interesting. I like ait theme.

I am start theme "Escheresque". Dead line next weekend 

https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/sm117_pack.html 

There's only one map corresponds to the chosen theme. I think we will do it in good quality 

maps based off of the Quaddicted twitter feed?

There have been a few nice screenshots posted there recently. 

Escher it is. Interesting!

Good idea on changing the title of the thread for people noticing. At first didn't catched it and thought it was discussion for a new jam pack.

I am having problems thinking of gameplay for that theme, but it is progressing. Probably bacause of not being able to map for the past two years. It is going to be good for mapping rehabilitation. 

My map.

http://digspt.ru/quake/sm177_digs.zip

There is a problem with Darkplaces. For:
"angles" "90 0 0"
there is a reversal of the object in the wrong direction. In other engines displayed normally.

Who else makes the map for this event? 

Cool map ! This map is very imaginative and innovative ! I felt very disturbed by the architectural orientations.

This theme is pretty "Quaky", in some way. There should be more often of these "twisted" and fucked up dimensions, in Quake.

My criticisms : Maybe the light is too strong all across the map. Use some fog, maybe ?

Try a version with a VERY STRONG fog. 

digs, does 89.9 or 90.1 fix it? you might be able to trick darkplaces while not affecting other engines. 

I forgot to check if the idea i have is possible in Quake first, so now i have to change lots of things on it.
I expect to have it in around 24 hours, so it will be released later. I don't know if as a speedmap or not, time invested on it will decide. 

the deadline is this weekend digs!
I'm just half way there! 

Take your time.

I suggest to push the deadline for a few days (a week ?).

Digs, your trees suck. (trees in Quake1 always suck anyway). I suggest that you change them for trees without any leaf. Or some weird evil twisted sculptures instead.

Please, add more details ! 

...since I've been stuck with a single map of Schlossher for months, but with the deadline being today, blech... 

I guess a mapping deadline is a lot like planned game release dates. 

Mapping deadlines tend to shift on amateur projects a lot worse than commercial IMO. 

I think we can take a few more days. MadFox how much time you need to complete?
Cocerello, we will wait for you.

Trees is difficult. I'm not sure what I can come up with something.

Necros: I'll try your idea

Barnak: I have tried to make the fog, but I did not like 

No, it does not work. I tried different combinations, "90.1 0 0", "270 0 180" and so on. But all in vain 

About trees, try some strange useless machine-like sculptures. Two boxes and a few pipes... 

but I'm still a day or two off a playable release. 

Trees are indeed difficult, and are one of the things I'm still not sure on the most efficient way to render.

But there are many types of trees, some easier than others.
