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.
https://imgur.com/3TK1yzj I only made the basic layout with prototype textures. But with deadline pushed away, it gives me time to test around in AD before implementing things in my map.
...so don't count me in. Looks like a great holiday load-out though. 2017, what a year!
I wasted a bunch of time when I had it, and lately I'm more busy, and the free time for creative work I have I'm putting into writing. Considering I've been in a rut writing-wise for years I don't want that to go to waste. I won't be abandoning mapping, but things may take a while. I look forward to the completed jam/AD update though! Still gotta get around to taking QUMP and other recent releases for a spin....
I thought i should say it too, even though i haven't been counted in that list, for some strange reason.
I have been even more busy that i anticipated, and not even finished and not close to it the map i said earlier this thread that i was planning to release this year before this jam, so there won't be any releases from me at least till January and probably late February.
