Func_Msgboard: DM4 Jam - The Bad Place

Posted by dumptruck_ds on 2018/02/24 08:22:43

Quake DM4 is a beautiful map. Vertical... deadly... and dare I say... sexy. But... only in deathmatch!?!

It's time for you to bring this beautiful theme to the single player dimension.

***Your mission is to create a single player level using the DM4 visual/spacial theme.***

Verticalilty meets lava meets gorgeous runic textures. Epic or modest, speed map or Arcane Dimensions level of detail - all submissions and styles are welcome.

Here's the offical wad for the jam. You can add other wads and textures but please use at least one instance of each of the included textures somewhere in your submission.

DEADLINE...

UPDATE: New and final deadline is: Sunday March 18th at 18:00 func time.

There will be absolutely NO (more than the two we had) EXTENSIONS. Don't even ask. The jam admin (me) will NOT be submitting a map. Make sure and have someone playtest your map before submitting it. Use the email address in my profile to send me your maps. Or find me on the #terrafusion or #trenchbroom Discords to submit it there.

Name your map like this: dm4jam_<my nick>

Make sure and include a readme.txt and your .map file so others can learn from your hard work.

GO MAP!!!!

Count Me In!

I'm definitely gonna take a stab at this. I've never participated in any kind of community mapping project before so sorry ahead of time if I chicken out due to the time constraints :P.

This map jam theme totally caught my eye though and I couldn't pass it up!

Count Me In! +1

DM4 Start Map Slipgates Could Be Map Entrances?

#29 posted by MissBubbles on 2018/02/28 22:56:30

Just wanted to pop in and say that I agree with the other people here advocating for using DM4 as the start map. You could make each slipgate a map entrance! Of course, that would mean you'd have to edit the map up a bit to not only include more slipgates for more maps, but also make sure that the player can still access the separate floors of the map, meaning you will have to differentiate map gates from actual slip gates.

Just thinking out loud!

Hello chaps and chapesses. Thought I'd stop lurking and finally have a tinker. Deadline's a bit tight but I should be able to rustle up something "old school", as the kids say!

I don't know if I'll finish mine in time but I'll give it a shot, I'm in. If I do this'll be my second mapjam

Who Would've Thought That DM4 Will Bring So Many People Together.

Ah, sweet! I didn't know that someone had already planned on doing it. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Triple Post - So What Of It?

#39 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2018/03/01 07:36:39

If you are intimidated by participating in a jam please... don't be. My first jam was Retrojam 6 Egypt. My map was passable and in some cases people liked it. But they demos and comments I got were invaluable to me growing as a mapper. My next map was not perfect but it was better. This is how Jam can help you improve. Be brave. Criticism is good. Somehow our culture has forgotten that. Go map!

I'm being crushed by university right now. I might have a chance to attempt something if I start on Saturday, but we'll see. Either way, good luck everyone - really enjoying your screenshots and looking forward to at least playing some cool maps, even if I didn't make any...
