TF2Maps Presents: The Summer 2016 72hr TF2Jam!

[UKCS-Alias]

Maybe the medal just being for entering makes it pretty meaningless, i'd say possibly make it for getting in the showcase.

A participation medal is no bad idea at all. We have seen it with the winter workshop event aswel.
It still has a meaning which is that participating even with bad things is still better than not at all. Not everyone can dedicate the 72h for it, so they already are going to be capped at maybe just 16h. For those it would still be nice if no status was attached, as that would make it feel like 'i never had a chance'/'i dont have a chance'. From most 72h contests i often see the same list of contenders getting quite far. Yet you want new people to enter.

I like the new 72h format as its free for anything you want. I cant get the time to make an entire map in 72h (hell, finishing a small map easily takes me over a year), but i do have the time to get a popfile in a state it would be playable and maybe even have its major problems removed.

You can make it as hard as you want, but the idea that you have a chalenge is what the 72h should be. Wether its easy for someone else should be irrelevant. Thats why the removing of the contest part was ideal. Now you can set a chalenge you think is reachable. And even if you failed it, you at least dont have to worry about being a loser. Everyone is a winner!

Applying it retroactively would take a big load of time - I'll see what I can do though.

For the older contest versions is should be just a case of digging up the submission threads and picking out usernames, not sure what you did for the jam version since I wasn't taking part I wasn't paying attention

 

[DaegodoesStuff]

can i do r18? ex. sfm ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[BigBang1112]

Joining! Let's see what I can make in 3 days. xd

 

[Hosomi]

I'm going for a koth map. My first enntry on this site, although not my first map for tf2.
Already got most of the plan in my head ready. I think I'm competent enough to do the brushwork and detailing in 72hr. May need help with the testing though.
Looking forward to it.

Still don't have a name for the map though

I'm not sure what you mean by r18. You can make what you want for the jam, but we do have rules on what can and can't be posted on our forums. If you've made something inappropriate, please don't post or direct-link it, but feel free to give instructions on how to find what you've made hosted elsewhere.

I'm not sure what you mean by r18.

Yes it's "rated 18". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Is it allowed again to make your thing in 3 days not the same time? I don't know if I'll be free at july 22.

Yup, you can do your own 72hr jam that fits within your schedule. Though I believe it may lessen your chance of getting into the showcase, especially if you schedule your's after the official one. I also believe you need to post your dates in this thread, so that the people running the event will know when you are doing your thing.

 

[BenCo]

I want to do it before the jam starts of course. And I may even stream it.

 

[parkingturtle]

I'm gonna try it, I have many map ideas, all I need is to chose which one I gonna make before the the jam begins

 

[Crowbar]

Maybe will try to make a koth, maybe.

 

[Vel0city]

Will make KOTH, with a thing that rotates that kills you when it hits you. And then for good measure I'll put a healthpack underneath that thing because I'm evil.

Or at least I'll try to make the thing that rotates, and then maybe have a map around at a later date.

 

[Kill_the_Bug]

Going to make a new multiple payload map with 15 Payloads, 25 objectives and 450 HUD display on the screen this time!!

And will it be so scale? Of course not!

 

[Hosomi]

I got so excited and started working on the map today, thinking the jam was this weekend.
I started at 18:00 and learned of my mistake at 21:30. I stopped working after that. Is the map still eligible?

 

[Diva Dan]

nah son. It has to be made during the 3 day period unless you message an admin that you are doing it during a different period (which you probably didn't do). You can read the first page of the thread for details.

 

[Hosomi]

Even though I've stopped working and will pick it back up again at 21:30 on the 22nd?
I'll ask an admin.

 

[fubarFX]

you could just start over when the contest starts. If the idea is more fleshed out in your mind now, chances are you're going to redo it better next time so it's a win/win

 

[BeepSterr]

oh boi, lets go

 

[Davekillerish]

I gotta plan out my jam thing...
Im doing my full blown episodes of Map Follies With Dave

I actually got a few people who wanted feedback, and I went WAUUUUUUUUUUUT, so now I have some maps people want me to go over

So instead of giving money watching the meme @Crash maybe stop on by my little stream?
