Func_Msgboard: Retro Jam 6

Posted by FifthElephant on 2016/12/23 00:37:25

Retro Jam 6!!

Retro Jams are vanilla style, id1 only, and can be of any build quality.

The theme is Egyptian, so think pyramids, tombs, catacombs, sandstone walls, arches, columns, pillars, obelisks, temples, deserts, dusty canyons etc
If you want to include a custom skybox that's fine. Suggestions might be sunset/rise, dusty/stormy, starry night-time, moonlit.

Theme - Egypt
Deadline - 30th December

Lots more info in the guideline link below!

Well?

GO MAP.

Composers

Dumptruck, philip glass is awesome and some of his compositions fit this map theme nicely. Also try Jan Garbarek/ravi shankar, steve reich music for 18 musicians.

Some Of The Tracks

from Peter Gabriel's Passion album would also fit right in.

If you're going to extend, just extend to Jan 2nd to catch the extra weekend. It's a retrojam, those are normally a single weekend, this is already a week which is fair due to the timing.

I'm going to be able to start a map until at least the 27th.

I'll be mapping in my mind in the meantime.

I'll Start Mapping

On boxing day I think. Visiting family right now so it would prevent me from streaming.

The allure of the theme is too great!

Looks good man, love the ankh in the water :)

#79 posted by Shamblernaut on 2016/12/25 16:06:21

my scope is pretty large for this one, I'll try and keep my geometry pretty simple to achieve it.

Nice One Guys.

#80 posted by Shambler on 2016/12/25 17:48:21

Such hype, so Egypt, much wow.

iPowell, looks good.

Scampie, dark as fuck but what I can see looks ace.

Bloodshot, nice lighting in the first one, epic scale in the 2nd.

Bloughsburgh, some crazy vibes in that, looks cool, keep the water as a consistent motif.

Great stuff that people are going for it. Hope some people are doing some more outside dusty temple shizzle.....replayed Sadlark8 recently and for all it's crampedness it's still got a cool vibe, very consistent throughout.

I personally try to hold back and not send any screenshots until the very end. But it will be something interesting for sure.

#82 posted by Mugwump on 2016/12/25 19:31:25

@Scampie That pharaoh texture looks badass! Nice atmosphere you got going.

@Bloodshot Exterior looks great, first pic could use a more contrasted lighting. Same goes for @Mukor's screenshot (you might also wanna use a skybox).

@Bloughsburgh Yeah, that's the stuff, pal! Looks amazing.
