MapJam 8 - Film Noir
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:

A small album with some theme images:

Looks great shamblernaut. Not much progress on my side for now, only a little scene. I've been pretty exhausted lately for some reason.

This will be one depressing pack, hah! 
 
Some person said never start with details.. let's see can I actually trust his words*

Excited 
Everyone,

Your progress looks great! Keep it up! 
I Actually Have Time For A Session Today 
1008 Brushes Thus Far 
 
Fedora - test
Whole suit texture should be finished tomorrow. 
Lol 
I love it. Good work Ionous.

Also I love that Kreathor. Should put hats on the ogres too ;). (hell, they're basically fat guys with chainsaws, just a reskin would suffice).

I expect to see lots of grunts and dogs. Would be funny to see some of the other enemies redone but that's a lot of work. 
Khreathor 
Looking good, maybe hats are just enough for some enemies? Unless you're filling to re-skin most of basic enemies like enforcers, ogres etc. ? 
 
Unless you're willing* .. 
Death Knights 
...in tuxes 
Shamblers 
...with a bowtie. 
Mobs - Wip 
 
That looks really good khreathor. 
 
Yeah, quite hilarious.

Though keep in mind that, as far as I understand, Film Noir is meant mostly as a catchy title for the actual theme that is B&W, not necessarily having to be based on 1940s crime fiction. 
Lose The Suit 
was much better with just the hat. 
I Like The Suit 
But really all you need to do is just put a fedora on every single monster and it will be absolute gold 
 
It all depends on whether he shoots for Casablanca or Grim Fandango. But yeah, it would be interesting to see some comedy in Quake. Oh, great! Now I can't unpicture a vore sporting a fedora... 
Thanks! 
#86 - yeah I keep that in mind. Afaik Ionous is making "Night of the Living Dead" themed map, but I don't think original grunts would fit this theme anyway.

#87 & #88 - I can prepare fedora for every monster :)

I have prepared this model mostly for fun and to learn proper mdl export pipeline. It's not obligatory, I'm fine if you don't want to use it.
I would like to modify other models too, maybe make some mod in the future?

I have few ideas for other enemies. For example Enforcer could be a guy in vested suit with retro-blaster from 40s. Something like guys in "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified". 
Keep The Suit 
Hilarious stuff! 
No Moody Backlighting 
no sale. 
 
Hahaha Khreathor, this is amazing! 
 
"Ionous is making "Night of the Living Dead" themed map"
I suppose it means we're gonna blow up hordes of zombies real soon... Cool!

"Enforcer could be a guy in vested suit with retro-blaster from 40s"
Yeah, 1940s MIB! Sold. 
Khreathor 
yeah, the knight re-skinned to hold a baseball bat or 2x4 :) 
 
I doubted this jam but it seems to be shaping up nicely
