Map Jam 4 - Low-Gravity Runic - EXTENDED Deadline: 25th January 2015

Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over a period of weeks using a certain theme and texture set. Check the readme file below for further details of what the Jam is about.

Any questions or comments, please post to this thread only.

NEW Deadline - 25th January 2015
Theme - Low-gravity Runic maps / Ziggurat Vertigo inspired maps

Note: Your entries must work with a gravity value of 100 (the one used in e1m8). You can use the console command sv_gravity for that. The final pack will have a custom progs.dat that will take care of that.

looking like it's going to be kind of a void map. No idea if I can pull it off to be honest.

I might have to make the lava-fall non-damaging.

I Dunno I'd Keep It.

It's not like people are supposed to do that in the first place.

Maybe

#64 posted by Shambler on 2015/01/08 11:52:25

Just make it as damaging as normal lava?

#65 posted by skacky on 2015/01/18 17:15:23

Just want to remind everyone that the deadline is approaching rapidly, and that I sadly lost all my work and won't be remaking it. That means no start map.

WTF Skacky !

#66 posted by Barnak on 2015/01/18 17:53:23

Dude, don't you do backups, when you're working on your computer ?

I always do !

Dropbox Is Your Friend...

Seriously, there's no reason to go through the soul crushing despair of losing your map files.

#68 posted by quaketree on 2015/01/18 18:03:47

I think that the bigger issue would be that a void map like that probably isn't the best idea for a low gravity map. Maybe a lot of clip brushes to funnel the player back onto solid ground might be the way to go (or creative uses of trigger_push and clip brushes. I dunno'). As far as the lava goes Ziggurat Vertigo had it and most people didn't have a problem with it. I wouldn't go crazy with it though. You don't want to make something that's too frustrating for people to play.

#69 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/01/18 18:39:27

The map isn't too bad really, probably would work better with normal gravity but it's too late now!

I think the lava-fall will stay non-damaging to be honest.

Danget Too Busy To Finish My Map...

#71 posted by Skiffy on 2015/01/21 12:54:16

Well at least I did get into making maps though but I need to work on scope... its become too big for its own good and time is in short supply. So yea I sadly wont make it with my map :(

It will become its own map without using gravity in the end I think now.

#72 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/01/21 12:56:53

Looks sweet, skiffy, definitely finish it when you can!

Sexy
