Love the small maps sizes combined with good build quality and strong medieval (and base themes). A few niggles (Gift's sky, Scarecrows brushes), but a fun little pack for sure. Playthrough and commentary here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/274250777 from 13 mins.
play on zjam2_giftmacher twice. First time was killed.
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/zjam2_demos_digs.zip Where was this jam organised? Was it just through a bunch of private emails or PMs to "the right people"?
Loved the architecture of Muk's map, and also loved the panic from that slow-opening door and ambush in Giftmacher's map. Scar3crow's map had me in a panic-sprint that somehow led me in the right direction to the exit. Good stuff all around!
Here are some skill 1 demos https://www.dropbox.com/s/aebwlnbs7ahb5xw/zjam2_yoder_demos.zip?dl=1 I recorded two playthroughs of Zombie Jam 1:
Sock's map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa1wSgnL3KM Muk's map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGkIR7d3AKc Two little/quick maps (i finished each one in less than 4 minutes), but with an awesome visual =D Gave zombie jam 1 a skill 1 playthrough. No demos, but might record some if I do a skill 2 run. Solid mechanical design and some moody environments :)
skill3 first runs, i ragequit the scarecrow map
http://quaketastic.com/files/demos/spy_zjam2_demos.rar thanks guys Three more playthroughs =D
zjam1_zombie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IIPDhBQ9pQ I really don't like when a map doesn't have an exit :P zjam2_zombie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81rVdkH8jI4 Same author, but way better than the first map. A lot of details which make the map look like a real place. And now we have a proper exit =D zjam2_muk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unUuPAhb-kI Man, i love when we have a different theme in Quake, like this egyptian map. I think i'm a little tired of the same old castle/wizard textures that we find in 99% of the Quake maps. And the attention to the details is amazing here =D The last three levels =D
zjam2_giftmacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASRxuMyy-7Y The part i loved more was the ambush with three shamblers while i was waiting the door to open XD Yes, i turned on the bloom effect because i think it looks good with foggy maps =D Oh, and after i recorded the playthough i noticed that the sky texture with the blue clouds didn't show up :P i think it uses the same name as the sky from the start map and the game didn't update the texture :P zjam2_scar3crow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ouBmwy8zz8 I think if the deathknight and the ogre didn't have hit the fiend at the begining of the map I'd be dead by now XD zjam2_sock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2HNfRam5V0 Sock is awesome as always =D I love the strong contrast between lights and shadows here, it looks amazing with FTE's real time lighting <3 Nice gameplay. I was particularly impressed with this realtime lighting, but after a while I've realized that while its player & monster shadows are perfect, the lighting of the map itself seems weird, and too bright in many places.
I wonder if that's because the engine doesn't recognize the custom entity flags from EricW's light tool. Attenuation styles, etc. I think you're right. Maybe that's why old maps look amazing with real time lighting turned on, while new maps (using EricW's light tool) don't look so good, most of the times they look too dark :/
