That's Cool, Guys 
Bloughsburgh: looks cool, Koohoo style

Newhouse: cool idea with skill settings.

My map will be more slow paced, than my explore jam 1 entry. I will have 3 goals (one main and 3 optional): find the way to exit, find all shootable buttons and find 4 runes. 
 
It is good to experiment new stuff, and it looks really good so far.

I try to separate two types of puzzles, time based and memory based puzzles. 
Explore 
This is a very challenging jam because Quake really excels at having monsters to fight!

I'm going with a bit of gimmicks with mine...sorta thinking Mario 64 style where the world holds small sections that oppose a variety of challenges to reach a "cookie"

It seems to fun but who knows!

I went into this with a completely different mindset. Usually i start my maps with exploring visual ideas, then i sketch some layouts and think about progression etc. then i start to work on the map on trenchbroom. But now I started with trenchbroom just creating brushes after brushes, it's a total mess and i dont know if i can release my map. we shall see.

Looks cool, I hope I'll make it 
 
*you'll 
 
my map will be more simple than i tought.
damn, mapping is hard. i need two or three months and play maps with "mapper's eyes" (?) to start grasping things.

Whoa that looks crazy, please scale back the scope if it means you can finish it!

Are those clouds? :OO 
Its Snow! 
 
Even Better! 
Nice idea, looking forward to it...

Finish it! >:( 
AD Mod For Future Explorerjam/obstaclejam 
Something to think about for future explorerjams with AD mod, on top of what sock said about complete control of entities you also have the ability to strip the player of all weapons (but the axe)!

This could be awesome for some exploration/obstacle dungeons featuring monsters as traps/challenges, with the breakable system you could spice it up even further, the player must chop his way through some wooden beams before the slowly-rising elevator (containing a monster) comes into play. :)

You just have to make it clear to the player that killing monsters is not the goal for this map, the goal is to make it out alive! Maybe survivaljam? :D 
How Much Time Left In Hours? 
So I can make a schedule when sleep and when map* 
24 Hours For Sure

I Had To Cancel My Entry 
RL got hectic. Looking forward to these guys. I had some ideas but no time. Maybe DLC or the next one. 
 
Im going to try and put more work in but im not sure itll be enough. 
Ok 
Deadline extended to Jan 8th 19 pm GMT 
Get To Work! 
 
Is It Possible To Toggle Lights On And Off (delay How Long "on") 
 
Random Shot 
 
I knew it, water element ;) 
#74 
trigger_relay maybe?
example:
light with targetname "l1"
trigger_button or trigger_multiple, turns two relays with the same targetname "tr1". one relay with delay 0 (or 1, or 2, etc). the other relay with delay 20. then trigger_button/trigger_multiple will need a wait of 20 at least.

that might work
