Func_Msgboard: Map Jam 5 : The Qonquer Map Jam

Posted by DaZ on 2015/03/21 13:42:55

Map Jamming is about creating maps of any size or detail level over several 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.

UPDATE: Deadline extended to WEDNESDAY 8TH APRIL

Theme - Prisons of the underworld
Texture Wad - No texture wad this time. Interpret the theme however you wish! Browse the Quaddicted texture repository for wads : https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/

Note: Your entries have to be made for the Qonquer mod. This mod turns Quake into a survival arena with escalating waves of enemies. Download Qonquer from the link below. The Qonquer mod includes some new entities that enhance the arena design, please see the link below for details on these new entities. Due to the nature of arena designs, this map jam may be of particular interest to people with busy schedules or otherwise limited time due to the smaller scope.

Your arena must contain an interesting or unique twist. Use your own discretion as to what this could be.

I literally made a level that was giant floating pyramids... when did Quake have to make sense? ;)

It's a prison of the underworld. It does what it wants.

Best bit out of a generally cool shot :)

You forgot to call it a "cube" despite very obviously not being a cube.

#30 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/03/24 15:54:55

Also scampie : go map.

#31 posted by - on 2015/03/24 21:01:40

You're all fucking cubes.

Is it just me out here or what? :)

I have an idea for a map... But I currently have too many projects right now. I'll have to see.

Wow

#34 posted by DaZ on 2015/03/26 03:11:42

loving the look of this level Warren.

Others working on levels, feel free to post wip shots etc :))))

#35 posted by - on 2015/03/26 03:18:06

I have something in the works, but want to get more done before I show anything.

That looks cool though!

Ouch 6 And A Bit Degrees

I'm in. I need to clear my head.

Wow Willem

#37 posted by Tronyn on 2015/03/26 05:09:46

what a cool idea; why would a free-floating void structure need to hold itself together using conventional architecture; if all its parts are floating, it could just be held together by chains!

What I'm Getting Out Of It

#38 posted by oh, that person on 2015/03/26 05:22:17

Is that the brick and mortar bits did not necessarily originate in the void, but that's where they were chained together.

OMG jam5 = an allegory to mapping itself???

Looks great, kind of reminds me of Papo&Yo. Shame it's little more than an elaborate 3D skybox for a simple Qonquer arena.

#41 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/03/26 10:44:19

You're a simple Qonquer arena.

Looks great @WarrenM! Makes me think of Kowloon a bit:

Ended up with a lot of grey as well for the theme, seems appropriate:

I'm Working

It's just not looking very nice and has no unique gimmick.

#45 posted by hypnos on 2015/03/30 02:53:12

@ijed You nailed it, having the exact same problem ;)

#46 posted by ijed on 2015/03/30 03:33:20

I think I've found the look now - green and blue dungeon.

I stopped working on an earlier version because I didn't like the gimmick.

I'll post a shot once I compile it.

themes are the only real prison!

#48 posted by - on 2015/03/30 04:55:19

and if you want proof of how lazily I've worked on all the rocks this past week...

That's day 1 where I made the layout and didn't share the pics with anyone except negke and Lunaran. Since then I've only poked here and there each night because I fucking hate making rocks.

Looking Good So Far, Scampie

The gameplay can be seen on those screenshots.

I see that you used the idea i had for lighting in sm176 too.

Also be careful to not make the central spot a too safe place against ogres and demons. It would make the map blander.

By the way, which textures are you using for rocks and vines?

Nice.

#50 posted by Shambler on 2015/03/30 10:38:37

Now go map rocks.

Hypnos urs is looking good too.
