***Unofficial 72 hours mapping mini contest***

[Dr. Spud]

Actually I'm going to back out. My map really isn't shaping up as well as I would have liked, and at this point I'd rather save the extra time. Sorry. :\

But good luck to the people who are following through, it'll be fun to play the maps at the end.

 

[Freyja]

Mine is going to play so bad.

3 days is too short a time I think. A week would have been more appropriate, but whatevs.

I think it's fine. My map's pretty much done and playable. I'll probably spend tomorrow replacing dev textures with actual ones, but I dunno. I've never been a fan of textured but not fully detailed maps.

However, I think a bit more warning would have been nice. Give maybe a week or so of a heads-up, so people can attempt to clear their schedules.

Also, when will the upload thread be up? I have class monday morning and may not be able to submit it before the deadline on that day. Well I guess I could submit it before I leave for class, but just to be sure.

Well at this point I'm woefully behind where I wanted to be, so I have the option of just forging ahead and setting up all the gameplay logic and stuff or fix up the layout and hope I have time for simple lighting and logic later. Or I could go play some games.

I have started to detail now. you can watch me http://www.livestream.com/agentnick. but yeah 72 is long enough. its all about managing your time.

3 days is just fine since I got about half map done in 5 hours (no detailing included)

 

[BearGoesWild]

I'm mostly done myself only some detailing and lighting left

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Im thinking instead of mirroring my map, to rotate it. Oh well.

Scratch that. Mirroring is so much cooler than rotating that I would rather have a mirrored map than lighting! So there!

 

[DjD]

so is there already a submit thread? i guess not since i didnt find one but maybe my old eyes just refused to see it...

 

[Ravidge]

Just wanna say that this competition is exhausting so far... and since everyone is doing it here is my http://www.livestream.com/ravidge stream.
There should be plenty in the on demand library.

I had a good pace in the beginning, but now it's just a mental anguish trying to come up with something original.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

I would livecast myself mapping, but my internet studders just watching livecasts!

EDIT: Ravidge, your steam is offline

I hope no-one minds that I added a non-AI bot so I could spawn in my arena map...

I believe that is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. there's bots, and then there's bots.

Besides, it's the only way to test arena maps without a server plugin.

I won't have the time to finish a map, unfortunately. So here's what I ended the day, and competition, with.

[Geal]

When're we planning to actually have a playtest day to try them all out?

 

[TerabyteST]

Very soon, I hope

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Considering that there are so many maps, how is this going to work? Prelims? A week of playtests? Who are the judges? Is detailing going to count?

 

[DjD]

Prelims would be cool
