Looks great as always Newhouse!
I'll look into setting up a discord. My map is sealing and coming along, I realized it can't be too big (as you teleport back to the other side of the map!?) so I've cut it down a bit. Also sealing up and compiling as I go just to make sure everything is working. Trying to stick to sane brushwork this time - no crazy overlapping rotated brushes all over the place. Make things easier and quicker too. Rough progress shot: http://imgur.com/h09iYsW I haven't been keeping up with this thread but current progress shots look cool :)
yeah
i started from zero, this is harder than i thought. and i'm not an art or creative type of guy it's also time consuming. i like it, but don't expect quality for now. it will be a boxy box map of boxes. or perhaps not so boxy, but very small. in any case, i will submit something. in the worst case it will be a very small map. I've been busy, and working on my map on and off, however I should have a playable beta by April 1. If the deadline could be extended to account for testing and tweaks that would be lovely.
We're going to extend the deadline (slightly)
Try to have your mapping done by April 1st, And then you'll have until April 17th to test, fault-find, balance, polish, etc. Good Luck! Join us at the discord if you haven't already to discuss your map, get help, get playtesting, etc: https://discord.gg/eWx4XHu Hello everybody,
I'm most likely every day 24/7 available in https://discord.gg/eWx4XHu We can together discuss via PM, or in your own page locally. I can provide demos and prefabs for more difficult stuff for something you might want to have included in your map. We will together ensure map's quality the best we can. I will teach colored lighting, how functional entities work etc. if you're struggling with something, it is always faster to ask directly and get the simple answers immediately. And that time you can personally spend on creating something great* So don't be afraid to join in, there is still plenty of time and you're not alone with this. Main goal is to motivate new mappers, and ensure their first release be something to be proud of. Deadlines are not written in stone. So even if you spot this message a bit later, just freely ask and I think answer is positive yes. I will be continuing start map, starting from April 2th, making extra teleports there is no big deal. In early March, my HDD crashed and I lost some of the work. And about 3 weeks not practiced mapping. Yesterday I setup JACK for Quake, and restart my map from early saved copy.
Hello DOOMer, feel free to visit qump discord page, we will create your own page after that. There should be a quite enough time, deadline is not written in stone and people have rough deadline 17th April, but if some maps are close to finishing at that point, extra time will be most likely given. And even if you're quick, feel free to beta test others maps and share feedback, I think they will appreciate it*
Hey doomer, join us in the discord:
https://discord.gg/eWx4XHu We can provide playtests / demos and feedback :) Link added to the Google Doc
screenshots: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/13/1490807485-qump-daya1.png http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/13/1490807489-qump-daya2.png Kind of e2m2 meets jam6_daya meets quothescape.
Just a minor observation about the name of the map (and jam6_daya, for that matter): The word "leftovers" in English refers primarily to uneaten food that is "left over" after a meal. Maybe there's a reference I'm missing, but to me, "Manchester's Leftovers" sounds like the chicken and rice Manchester has not finished and is heating up in the microwave the next day. Perhaps "The Ruins of Manchester" would be a better name? Or better yet -- isn't French your first language, Daya? Why not give your maps French titles? It'd be so much more interesting, in my opinion, than yet another English or German name (e.g. "Shlossherr"). I get your question, and indeed, French is my first language.
The thing is about jam6 and my qump submission's name, is that it's kind of a play of words. The idea behind using "Leftovers" is that the place they're referring implies their construction, which then dumped away the unessecary bits to be forgotten, like in a junkyard dimension, hence the term "leftovers", but on a metaphorical level. Thanks guys, I joined discord now. Tomorrow I'm going to figure out how to use it, and see what you've published
Today I finished the basic layout of the map, and proceeded to the creation of detail and lighting. I hope that screenshots will be after the weekend. Hey guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to duck out. I was hoping to finish up my map when I finally got some free time in the last week of April, but unfortunately I got extremely sick and was unable to do anything. I do plan to finish and release the map but to be honest going into crunch mode at this point would be to the detriment of the map. Things are looking busy again so I may not be able to anyway. Sorry!
All good man, we still have until the 17th to finish maps off, and even then that may get extended if people need more time. Its all about getting people to make something they can be proud of, so up to you if you want to still try for a finished map or just chill :)
Congratulations on your project HexenMapper, it looks like Qump will soon see its release?
Nice trailer, cool music. We're getting closer, still quite a bit to do, and some maps are still being built. In the end its about supporting those mappers until they have something they can be proud of, so there's no set date for release yet :)
Soon though...
