Func_Msgboard: Your Worst Nightmares Come True. Retro Jam 4: Episode 4!

Your Worst Nightmares Come True. Retro Jam 4: Episode 4!

Posted by oh, that person on 2015/10/27 15:34:37

4 days to create a spooky halloween episode 4 map.

But what constitutes an "episode 4" map?

- Dark and creepy!
- Traps!
- Cool map names!
- The player outside their comfort zone!
- Spawns everywhere!
- Powerups everywhere!

None of the above is required, so if you want to make something completely different, then shame on you, but go ahead! The below, however, is a requirement:

- at least one exit
- original BSP limits
- original detail level

A recommended but not obligatory wad: Duh!

I will be accepting your finished maps at retrojam4()gmail()com until October 31st.

"original detail level"? Bleh. You wish.

Can I get an extension?

Zwiffle wins. Fatality.

Well.

- Powerups everywhere!

I'm psyched :D

I don't even know what "original detail level" means these days.

I do think Warren should convert his UE4 test area to Quake and submit that, with spawns and quads of course.

Yesssss

- original detail level
that sucks.

- Dark and creepy!
- Traps!
- Cool map names!
- The player outside their comfort zone!
- Spawns everywhere!
- Powerups everywhere!
that rocks.

4 days jam in the middle of workweek. hmmm.... I'll try it, but I'm not sure I'll succeed at it.

R_speeds 4 Figures Minimum.

Four days on top of work, family, class, other responsibilities? Prepare yourself for my masterpiece: Loaded Radiant, Looked At It, Did Other Things!

Cool Name Bro.

We have a 2nd place winner after Zwiffle.

"R_speeds 4 Figures Minimum."

It'll be like Speed. Someone make a mod ... if r_speeds drop below 1000, spawn 15 tar babies around the players location.

Detailed open maps are overdone and boring.

4 Whole Days?

#12 posted by Rick on 2015/10/27 18:15:19

I guess I'll have to pass.

Episode 4... make sure you use the least used textures in the game and that you minimise how much room-over-room gameplay as possible... and if it IS room-over-room make sure that the entire floor falls down into a pit of spawns/vores/shamblers/fiends

"Your Worst Knightmares Come True"

Now THERE'S a theme ...

4 Days

It's like "7 days" but instead of getting your face eaten by a ghostly Japanese girl, you get buggered by a gang of Spawns jumping out of a square CSG-carve alcove with poorly aligned texturing.

- Dark and creepy!

I'll just re-texture cartographer's nightmare with E4 textures...

but not really.

Slugmap

I never speedmapped in my life, so I think it's too late for Haloween.

But I need a jam to map for. A goal. Someone fix me guidelines and a timeframe, please.

#18 posted by skacky on 2015/10/27 19:13:26

4 days is very lenient for a retrojam. The others didn't last that long.

#19 posted by Rick on 2015/10/27 19:40:18

Ah, so a retrojam is not the same as a mapjam...

#20 posted by adib on 2015/10/27 19:44:18

No, you toss geometry jam out of your rectum.

#21 posted by - on 2015/10/27 19:45:51

Yeah, this is basically 'speedmap' by another name with a very very lax time rule.

Not sure I'll make anything, poor timing for me. Gotta focus on the map I am already working on so I can feel better about slacking off this weekend...

#22 posted by adib on 2015/10/27 19:47:09

Now seriously, I'm yet to learn how to throw a map in four days. Have to watch some of your casts.
