Probably going to put it on the shelf for a while, to get another map out, but it should be ready for the deadline.
https://imgur.com/a/Oue9Y Yep, working on it slowly. At first the size started to cause layout issues but now I am embracing the small space and the ideas to be contained within.
Ive made my least symmetrical map ever so, thats a success in and of itself.

First entry is wrapping up over the next day. Hope to crank out at least 1 if not 2 more. I've created a discord channel for this map jam should people want to use it to share files/wips etc and get mapping help specific to this.
Look for the "Current map jam" category :) https://discord.gg/NJ8sKQf This is a really fabulous idea for a jam, I'm excited to see what people are going to pull off for this. I remember seeing a "Christmas Quake" map/mod on Arrrcee's youtube channel. It had all the monsters with Santa hats on and was really "cute".
I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to enter this one, so I can't make any promises. I may be able to whip up something small, now that my AD map is released, but we'll have to see. Anyways, this is a great concept, and make sure to look at all the AD map sources for help. Redfield https://imgur.com/a/tOHTJ
Have some WIP shots to bump the thread. I streamed some mapping. I trimmed out the first 30 minutes because the audio was cut by Twitch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwtT9Jw-mhM You can obviously watch the full thing on twitch - https://go.twitch.tv/videos/183224660 Not sure if there is still room for one more map in the jam but I've been working on this:
https://i.imgur.com/jwl7mPa.jpg Yeah, Disney will send the copyright suits after me, but I've taken creative liberties... The playable area will only be 1024^3, Elsa's castle is not accessible. I'm not very happy with how the ice looks, but I was hoping to have some kind of Christmas map to release. According to a documentary on the film Frozen, the ice modeled by the computers accounted for reflection and refraction and took several days to render. Well, Quake cannot do either, and transparency can only be applied to an extent. I made different coloured ice to mimic refraction, and redid all the lighting to give this map a coloured sunset look.
Gallery here: https://imgur.com/a/qpLKZ I've still got some work to do on it, but its almost done. The concept image that inspired the map is this one: http://www.rotoscopers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1239196_10151914675692184_571540977_o.jpg Best I could do without realistic ice physics. Also, got some faux func_illusionary sprites working thanks to ericw and Qmaster for explaining it. Looking forward to playing all these maps! That's pretty damn awesome Redfield, nice job and I laughed at the princess inclusion. I haven't watched this movie yet but looks pretty whimsical.
I realize I suck at running a map jam; should have pimped the thing more and kept the thread active... sorry about that.
Even though several people are working on maps for this event, which is great, the goal of 24 maps seems unrealistic at this point, not least considering my own lack of solid progress so far. Therefore, let's just make this a regular jam with all maps in a single zip to be released at Christmas! The deadline is hereby extended to the 22nd of December. Bit of a roll call: who's in exactly? So far I know of: Bal Breezeep DOOMer FifthElephant Giftmacher ionous ItEndsWithTens ? mukor Naitelveni Pritchard Qmaster ? Redfield Scampie Shambler ??? Zwiffle ? I started one, too. But not gonna lie, it's going to be tricky, fingers crossed. Shambler made me take another screenshot, so here :
http://born-robotic.net/stuff/qstuff/balxmasjama02.png My map is almost done, just polishing stuff up, and tweaking gameplay a bit. December 22!?! And here I was cramming like a college student to have it done by the end of the week.
I guess this could give me time to add more Snowgies to the map: https://i.imgur.com/TjAt3U1.jpg The Frozen thing is really getting out of hand. The screenshots look awesome everyone, even the editor shots. Look forward to playing! I was all excited that despite a month of distractions, I was on schedule to get this thing done by the deadline. An extra few weeks is nonetheless more than welcome. Thank you!
I'm usually one to avoid tainting the fun of seeing the map for the first time, but I managed to find a location and angle that don't give anything away: Tens It's just a touch of atmosphere, nothing groundbreaking, but with all these other shots I couldn't help myself. More time to refine all my ideas and hopefully get some other eyes on this before release is a godsend! Looking forward to the final result, and honestly kind of glad I won't have to spend December trying to crank out one Youtube video per day as the calendar was published. :D I am still in. Put it off working on it far too long, and was actually worried about how much I was going to need to crunch on it this week while juggling Thanksgiving stuff, so thanks for deadline expansion.
TBH, think a single pack is a better idea than releasing stuff everyday... that felt like a doomed to failure concept anyway even if there had been 24 maps done for original deadline. Recently streamed myself making progress on my map. If I keep at it like this, I'll have it done in no time, hopefully.
... I think we can get to 24 now. I am very far behind but getting there. With the extension no problem.
