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.

Will I be finished tomorrow? Who the fuck knows. Maybe not. I'm sure I could con someone into finishing it for me...

How About This?

Looks nice.

My map is going to be completely indoor, dark and blue-white brick mostly. I'll post some screenshots later.

Nice Zwiff

looks like you captured the E4 vibe well. I dont think I have captured it perfectly with mine but it does feel like something you might find in the classic game.

Here's My Effort

I'd say its about 60-70% done. I haven't added any monsters yet. I repurposed a section from my episode that I was making since I'm uncertain as to whether it will ever be released, also it fits nicer in this map than the one it was in originally.
Geometry is mostly done. In true Sandy style I have kept it simple. Lighting probably needs tweaking, I don't think even he made his maps this dark.
I haven't done any item or enemy placement yet. I don't think it will take too long. I played through Episode 4 yesterday to get a feel for his maps. I'd say one thing I haven't really achieved is the really long corridors. I can't bring myself to waste that much space on nothing. However I am hoping it will have a Sandy flavour ;)

Can't Wait

Wanktastic.

"Sandy"?

#50 posted by adib on 2015/10/28 17:31:15

Also, I know that purple in my screenshot is horrible, but are you serious about "no colored lights"? So I should really aim for iD stuff?

Sandy Petersen is the guy who did all the maps for E4 except E4M1 (which I believe was Tim Willits)

Which part of "retro jam" is hard to understand?

#53 posted by adib on 2015/10/28 17:46:55

The "I never knew what retrojam was" part.

Is -dirt Allowed

I Think

subtle colored lighting and fog will only enhance the dark and creepy atmosphere of Sandy's levels.

I'm Planning To Use Colored Lights

Literally every retro jam ever made, except negke's for some bizarre reason, has used colored lights.

subtle colored lighting and fog will only enhance the dark and creepy atmosphere of Sandy's levels. - Yes.

So I should really aim for iD stuff? - That's part of the appeal behind retro jams. Not everybody adheres to it and in some cases (ionous) it's for the better, but if you're offended by the mere idea that some people may actually... you know... like the original game, then reconsider entering.
