Func_Msgboard: MapJam 8

Posted by Shamblernaut on 2016/09/13 21:57:01

Cool jazz slides it's way into your eardrums, your companion draws in her cigarette, letting the smoke curl out slowly from her mouth. You take a sip of your vermouth and realise that it's time to get your black and white on.

This jam oozes sexiness and grittiness.

The rules are, greyscale only (fullbright color highlights are allowed). Being that making textures may be required, the deadline is Saturday October 8th.

The maps should be designed for or compatible with ARCANE DIMENSIONS https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/ad_v1_42final.html so get with that shizzle yo.

For your consumption:

I think a mod needs to be set, otherwise this is going to be a real nightmare to install.
Also I am absolutely in.

Not sure about rules/techniques, but I'm surely in!

Drained Of Color

My mind is drained from the previous jam so I will not be participating. I look forward to the worlds that are created from this theme!

Grey Gripes

It's just a shame the quake palette's grey ramp is so terribly coarse. If everyone's making new textures anyway, might it be an idea to use external textures without the palette restriction?

MOD

scratch that fellas, the people have spoken on #tf and demand AD, so we're using that.

how about packaging it with a custom palette.lmp so that enemies and guns and HUD are also greyscale?

and you would benefit from more shades of grey that way, and you could use any 8-bit textures you wanted and not worry about converting them to greyscale individually.

How Timely

I've been doing value and color tests with grayscale textures then later adding various color themes.

I think this is an awesome map jam idea, not sure I'll have the time to break away from my own project though :/

Really looking forward to playing these and learning from the cool ideas I'm sure they will contain.
