 Dunwich/The Experiment

both are deserving of release based on shots alone, particularly the former - such a great look!
Lun's suggestion to put the necro castle at the end of Dunwich seems possibly fitting if the progression from the church is downwards, beneath the floorboards and into the earth; it would look great situated in a dark cavern rather than a dusky pink sky

First up, I was inspired by Sock's monstrosity to make a shitty Coagula map, though it is really much more indebted to (and aiming for the quality level/ scope of) ELEK's Coagula 2. Black fog in lieu of lighting, because who has the time, am I right ladies? No monsters either, nor any real idea of how gameplay will go. I'd say this is like 30-50% done.

A slimy speedmap that I started for Quoth that seems worthy of expanding a bit, even though the gameplay overly difficult in that classic Quoth-implemented-badly way discussed elsewhere. Silver lining: no Bobs!
Probably like 60-80% done, depending whether aforementioned expansion actually happens. Also some fucked up parts I have been avoiding dealing with that will take a minute to fix.

 Stop Using Dropbox For Posting Images You Lazy Shits

What's the issue with Dropbox? It works for me. At least I don't have to enable a bunch of useless JavaScript to see the pictures, unlike most of the other image hosting sites.

Some work places ban it which is retarded. It's an incredibly useful tool.
 Dropbox
Blocks public access after a number of views, doesn't allow to open the image separately, is blocked in some work places, etc.
There's no reason to use it over imgur.

 That Works.
But Drew's and Fifth's don't.
 Huh, Didnt Realize That

Seemed like a nice way to skip the hassle of uploading to quaketastic. So yes I'm a lazy shit. (go map).
 I Dunno
Why mine won't work. Hmmmmmm

If it's in your public folder, just right click it in Windows Explorer and choose "Public Link". Paste that link anywhere you want to show it ...

Well I don't have any problems viewing anybody's screenshots from Dropbox. There is a Dropbox background where it whines about requiring JavaScript, but I could always just right click and select "view image" if I really didn't want to see that. Doesn't actually bother me though.
Blockage in the workplace is another story. If that's the case for you, then you probably have the same issue with lots of other sites besides dropbox. For some reason, many employers don't like to pay people for surfing the internet.

Especially fun when clients send you blocked URLs!

Dropbox also implies "this file will be deleted whenever I feel like it" while Quaketastic is meant for longtime accessibility.
#11198 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/06/16 22:33:07
Rick - Sure, but for any white collar, creative type job the internet is pretty important for a whole array of reasons. Blocking it in the hopes of raising productivity likely does the opposite.
Spirit - Fair point!
 I Use Dropbox
simply because it's the fastest and easiest way to host files. I always click the link I share to make sure they work (they always do for me on my home pc).
I dont know why it wont work for you. It's unlikely that files on my drop box will be deleted soon after I upload them, I am just not that organised. Also I think it would be unfair for me to throw WIP shots on quaketastic, seems like a waste of bandwidth.
 Imgur?
Well I have posted some of my wip pics on tumblr, I could always hotlink them.

Absolutely not!
Tumblr links are very volatile from what I know. Imgur likes to recompress pictures and deletes them after a while http://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/201476457-How-long-do-you-keep-the-images-
I just organised the archival of 140,000 mp3s off a dying website, I care about longevity.

If you use a pic hosting site, use Minus, it doesn't recompress pics.

Some Map waffle and reflection on making things in a hurry.
(Features screenshots too!)
 Nice

Longecity is one thing, authorship rights is another. Some people like to keep control over their images, the freedom to delete them whenever they please.

then posting on a public (as can be) board might not be what they want but rather something more private with a restricted audience?
 Just Use Quaketastic You Gits

It's what it's there for. Don't worry about bandwidth, it's practically unlimited.
