You really surprised me, Mr. Powell. 👍

Little more than a month left for the submission deadline, a good time to remind anyone who hasn't gotten their submission in.

Oh yeah, and Happy Halloween!

I am sorry, but I will drop out. Apologies for doing it so late (and after changing slots many times) but I completely lost the inspiration and motivation to work on this project. Good luck to everyone involved!

With the deadline fast approaching and so many maps yet to be submitted, I imagine at least a few people will either drop out or miss the end of the month. If that comes to pass I want to throw it out there that I'm willing to pick up extra slots so the wad can get finished.

I don't want to drop out, but I can potentially miss the deadline. I've got to do some speedmapping to finish my map; if I don't get it done in time, I can send the stuff I've finished to that point to someone more proficient than me.

In retrospective, I really shouldn't have taken so many community projects on my shoulders (really shows my lack of experience here). Well, lesson learned!

I'll pick up MAP29, however it will inevitably be at least a little past the deadline as my irl life isn't as chill as it was when I joined these forums.

Sure. The deadline will most likely be extended anyway.

Aight, cool.

I guess, I should post progress screenshots:

Hate to budge in after all this time with these news, but it's unlikely I'll actually get anything done towards this project. Started working on another project the other day and it's stealing my focus, and I wouldn't want to bust out a half-assed map. For these reasons, I've decided to drop out.

Hey if people are leaving do you think I could possibly take some of the map slots that people are leaving behind? I've kept tabs on this project just in case for a while now and it would be neat if I could get in on the action!

I normally would drop out at this point, but if A2Rob extends the deadline I can do something for this project this weekend

Might as well confirm there will be an extension to the deadline. I'll go more into detail at the end of the month.

My map is mostly completed but I have a few other things I wanna add when I get the time so an extension would definitely be nice. :)

Since nobody has claimed Mao 21 (to my knowledge) I think I'll cook something up.

(Someone already requested map 21, oops, mb)

ah I see, well good luck to all

i have progress on my map, i've just been working on it slowly so an extension would be cool

He's referring to you @Hebonky, you're good to go with Map21.

Sorry, friend. I would definitely appreciate the extension. I'll keep an eye on your decision.

Status update: going swell, nice and voidy

I'll throw an offer to take up a mapslot aswell if one needs filling. Been a big fan of the scythe series from early on and it would be a fun style to emulate.

I started on my map, but am not very far yet, I could always speedmap it quickly-ish, but an extension wouldn't hurt. :D

Update to my map;

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/cnkyvyqlhmgj94dtoo3dp/Blue-Alert.2.wad?rlkey=o9ltg8d6nqecsdndokeeyy1cr&dl=0

Changes;

- Slight tweaks around the blue key, notably the trigger to make the key disappear is a lot closer to the teleporter inside the computer.

- Removed sky transfers (These were only temporary anyway as the skybox for E2 should be sufficient).

- End fight tweaked (Cramped fight + monsters spilling out of the exit area which should play better than the previous version).

- BFG secret tweaked

I still probably need to do some more detailing and of course add difficulty settings.

Hello, my map's been going along very well and is almost finalized for UV, just requires a few gameplay tweaks and more visual decor but unfortunately I'll be unable to meet the current deadline, my apologies for that. I'd definitely appreciate the extension.

Since quite a few people asked, I'll be extending the deadline for the time being. Ideally, I would like to have all maps submitted by the end of the year, though I'm doubtful that will happen.

If you claimed a map slot and have yet to post any status update in the thread, now would be a good time to let me know whether or not you're still interested in mapping for the project, that way map slots can be transitioned to others who want to participate.

Thank you.

Hey there. If a map slot opens up, I'd love to claim it!

there are several map slots open, do you have any preferences?
Edit: Commented on the wrong thread and now I look like an idiot, whoops.

A slot in episode 3, preferably. I recently submitted a hellish void for the 30 sectors project so I've got lots of ideas for that theme still flowing. If not, episode 2, then 1. I'd really be happy just contributing :)
