I didn't mind the darkness, it was mostly fine except for those first two grunts on a ledge who were quite hard to see. Maybe add a torch there? 

No worries, I just wanted ask about which mod these people are going to use, since I need to know if I'm going to sent some group mails for some people that might be interested trying out Quake mapping* 

Khreathor was obviously joking about you not being "allowed" to enter this project. HexenMapper's introductory post clearly states that it's not exclusively restricted to total n00bs, plus you're still quite new to the mapping scene yourself. It's fine if you join in. You know the saying, the more the merrier...

As for mods, none. It's vanilla, as stated in the Google doc. 

I know he is joking, just wanted to make it clear anyway. And I guess it is better for me to continue my current projects, so I can finish them faster* 

 

 

have one great acronym 

Gives me a change to finish that mapjam7 entry that never went anywhere :) 

Haha, ikblue map coming through, haha 

 

We seem to be having some nice diversity here: an underwater map by our project lead, medieval flying castles and submerged towers, a base map, a tomb, an IKblue map (yay!), a Hexen remake, not to mention a runic/metal map chockful of lava by Yours Truly. This is shaping up nicely! 

The Generic� by Pritchard! 

And do you often talk about yourself in the third person?

Seriously though, I didn't forget, just didn't feel like repeating "medieval something". 

Hopefully at least someone gets interested about Quake mapping*

this is shaping up nicely

in 2016, a 20 years old game, with doom being far more popular in the modding scene of old games

maybe tomorrow i'll post some screens of the work in progress. a very rough boxy sketch of the general layout of the map. if not, after xmas 

Talking about yourself in the third person can be fun, in moderation.

I figured that you didn't actually forget, and really I was just poking fun at myself; I honestly made a point to be uncreative when I built that map. I was just learning the ropes, after all, and I've made much nicer looking things for other games in the past. 

I intend to make screenshots regularly and put them up on http://imgur.com/a/rpWeb 

Sweet stuff, keep it up! Love me some Hexen textures.

That's flupping amazing! 

@Pritch Oh yeah, generic as in uncreative, I get it (I don't agree though). In French, g�n�rique can also mean "end credits", hence my remark about endings.

@Jheronimus Nice screenshot. Do you plan on making a faithful remake or more like a remix? 

@Mugwump Thanks. I want the general layout to be quite faithful and, if time permits, add additional details and secrets. Stay tuned ;) 

Generic = high quality speed maps and the trademark is mine! :^) 

How "new" do you have to be? I released my first map a few months back, but it would be cool to submit a small old school runic/metal map if I still count as a newbie. ;) I'm about to go on vacation, so I have plenty of time to put something together. 

Its at your own discretion really, if you feel "new" you're welcome to put something together.

We still need someone to build a hub map, and usually those are best left to more experienced mappers (as this is the one people will have to keep coming back to, and needs to be nicely laid out)
The hub map should have entrances to all the maps, and as you walk down the entrance you get a message "X map, by Y mapper" or suchlike, so you know the map name and mapper 

I would like to do hub map, if there really is that much time. 

Great! The google doc should give you how many map entrances you'll need (11 so far), but be prepared to add more, bound to be some latecomers.

A message with the mappers name and the name of the map near the entrance to their map is a must, so people can browse maps from the hub then choose one. You could even customize the entrances to match the map themes if you like - I guess this will come later once people's themes are finalized.
