Extra Quoth Monsters (version 1.7+)

Submitting levels:

Remember name your maps like this hwjam_authorname and level exits to "start" map.

Textures and further resources:
Here is direct link to google drive,
Halloween Jam Shared Media recommended texture wads, models and such will be there all in one folder to keep it simple. I will announce when something gets updated there.

Deadline:
Deadline counter, FEAR IT: http://khreathor.xyz/jam/halloween/counter.html

Goal deadline is to get all the maps tested/ready at 29th October so we can launch the pack at 31th without huge pressure, so please keep the scope manageable*

Go Map Everyone!

Announcement About Paths For Misc_models, Sounds And Such

Hey,

We will use ad devkit packaging for this jam and to not upload duplicate files remember put them directly under first folders. Models for progs/, sounds for sound/, gfx stuff to gfx/ etc.

^ *to Not Upload Same Files Multiple Times Under Subfolders*

Wait so even sounds will "hang loose". That never happens in mods.

Well If They Were Originally In Subfolder, Then It Is Fine*

Can send the files to mikkou9(at)gmail(dot)com?

#46 posted by Newhouse on 2018/11/02 12:16:25

Hey guys, I have been a bit busy recently and I will have days off next week tuesday and wednesday so I plan to try pack everything in those days. Sock will be helping with dev kit packaging but I hope I can get all the files if not 5th, 6th would be the last date probably.

Meanwhile I will try finish up own entry and start map closer to the deadline to know exact number of entries.

Keep on mapping until the final day*

You can send me files close to deadline, or mention that you can make it for the tomorrow morning (gmt+2). I will playtest each of entries and see if there is some bugs needed to be fixed etc. It will take couple days to wrap up everything anyway.
