The Brothers Mapping Jam [MERGE]

[Hallan Parva]

Oh, don't worry about having it right now. Even though I've already gotten a piece from Dr. Freeman (thanks by the way), sign-ups are just for getting a nice head count and reserving tiles; you don't actually need to submit your map piece until July 4th. But you better frickin' REMEMBER!

okay thanks :>

WOW RUDE

I have half a mind to refuse your entry simply due to intents of sabotage

unless you can explain to me what the hell you meant, I'm not putting you down

I have half a mind to refuse your entry simply due to intents of sabotage

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's calm down.

I was making a facetious comment. I don't mean to sabotage, I swear, I just picked Gyroman since it's hard to use and never seen anywhere.

I can see the reason for being cautious, though. I just meant that I knew my partner would likely send ill will for being paired up with Gyro, so I put in a facetious comment about it. I apologize, the sign-up probably wasn't the best place to make a comment like that.



Really, I'm sorry, didn't mean for it to sound so serious.

[Mendez]

Sorry Smash, but I gotta drop out of this competition because I'm gonna be swamped with summer college courses and I thought we'd be put into trios instead of pairing each mapper with 2 other people. I don't think I have enough time to make 2 maps, sadly.

[Doctor Jughu]

[Hilman170499]

I'll just throw myself in here to do something...

Name: Hilman170499
Mapping Style: I have no mapping style but as for preference, I prefer maps that are big enough for matches, and I like the little asthetic touches.
Primary Tileset: Cold Man

Contact through: Skype, Cutstuff PM

I also want to ask, when you said "Hexen Format", which engine do you mean in specific? Thanks in advance.

[Knux]

Skulltag (Doom in Hexen format), since that's the one that was always used in MM8BDM's core before UDMF became relevant.

Finally got around to updating the front page with all our new entrants! I'll be double-checking the Dropbox in a bit to confirm completed map fragments. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say I'm really excited to see what combinations are created, and what each team can do with their map!

(click to show/hide)

Also, to clear up a bit of confusion; during Phase 2, each entrant forms two teams with two separate mappers, and teams can be exclusive of one another. For example, let's say Magnet Dood draws Gumballtoid and Linnie as his partners. Two teams would be formed here: a map between Magnet Dood and Gumballtoid, and a map between Magnet Dood and Linnie. Gumballtoid and Linnie are not necessarily partners with each other; Gumballtoid might end up drawing Ivory as his second partner, and his teams would be Gumballtoid/Magnet Dood and Gumballtoid/Ivory.

Also, for the combination map, you aren't simply mashing your two map fragments together. Think of it like the FTM compo: you have to use the pieces given to you, but you can turn them around, resize them, lay them over one another, and (of course) build new map area around the pieces you have to use. You can also re-texture part of your original map fragments, but keep the original tileset choices intact!

That's it for this update, thanks for playing~
