CHECK DAY #2 (FEB 12-2023)

The second check day is here.
 

At this point, we have already 4 maps finished.

 

For the last two weeks, I've received updates form
@Bri0che , @knifeworld , @scientifikgenius , @HUNdebLeonidasX , 
@Stabbey , @DFF , @Worm318, @Rabbid, and @Niloquì about their maps.  
With some really cool ideas that help expand the concept for this project.

 

Also, we had the confirmation of @Angry Saint, @noob_killer012345678 , @Pegleg , and @King Know-Nothing
that they are still on the project.

 

From the original set of claims, I've still not received yet an update from @Thelokk .
Please let me know if you are still with us.

 

About new mappers, @Fadri decide to join us. So Welcome to the team!

 

And, finally, I want to share some textures I've been working on for a Credits map.
Each mapper will have a wall to be immortalized on the most secret corner of hell for all eternity.
Here are the finished ones: 
(so, if you want to have an avatar other that the one you have in this forum, let me know).

 

Once again, thank you so much for all the work, and let me know if I can help in any way.

 

Right now I have done two of the six secrets (if that's a way to measure the progress xD). I'm just slowly working on it at the moment.

Also I've got a title for the map: I Am In Your Walls.

 And a couple of screenshots:

amazing. Noted!

Would new mappers be allowed to participate? I read the Concept and I really enjoy the idea.
I've never created a full map, but I've been dabbling with UDB for a while now.

I don't really know much about adding custom songs or working with MAPINFO lumps, but I'm sure I can figure it out.

 

 

Here is a video from a map I was creating, still in early stages, mostly to learn about different types of lines and things like that.
Unfortunately my HDD died soon after starting it, and now it's all but a memory of what could have been.

This project is meant for all mappers.
Of course, Your map will be held to some standards of quality, so, if you are open to feedback, then welcome aboard. just let me know if you want a specific spot. or I just assign you the next free map.

Hi @RED77! Yesterday I published my first map, and I'm eager to participate on a community project. Making secrets is one of the aspects I enjoyed most about map building, so obviously your project really appeals to me. So, I'm in! Assign me whatever map number.

Hey, @pooplord01. Welcome to the project. I'll give you MAP19.
As I've said before, Remember all maps will be held to some standards of quality. 
I'll be glad to help with any doubts. Just let me know if you have any questions.

[Rabbid]

ok so If this is puzzle based... theres probably puzzles...so I decided... what about a maze...and the rest are basically puzzles... to find something... but the solution is actually infront of you...you just don't know...

I would like to claim slot MAP23. Going to make quite a big map with some puzzles and more common secrets.

Hey, @CblBOPOTKA Perfect. MAP23 is yours

Bear in mind that maps can not surpass 20min on a blind run (for easy skill)

Hey @Rabbid, You can add mazes, but make it interesting or short (in the example map is a short one). No one likes infinite lookalike corridors.

I'm lucky I made a 10x10 in 64 for the maze lol...plus I made a very hard to see path to the end anyway XD

[Astro X]

No computer maps??? But that's an obligatory part of my maps lol

 

Also, I could swear @Clippy would map for this one.

The "No computer-area map" rule is to avoid spoiling the secrets. Tell me more about the gimmick you have in mind and, maybe, we can agree on an exception.

About Clippy. I love his maps, but I don't want anyone to feel pressure to jump on a project if they don't want to.

No time bud 

[DiR]

Thinking of joining this one soon after I wrap things up in other CPs. I don't want to commit just yet, but the other projects wrap up in March so by around then I'll have a look if there's still slots.

CHECK DAY #3 (FEB 26-2023)

 

Time flies and we reached our third checkpoint.

 

About the progress of the project, I've received the first versions of the maps of
@HUNdebLeonidasX, @Stabbey, and @Niloquì.
and, tho they are not the final versions, I'm glad to say that every one of them brings really good and interesting twists to the project's gimmick.
Thank you so much for your hard work.

 

Also, I've received confirmation from @Bri0che, @Angry Saint, @knifeworld, @Rabbid, @Thelokk, @scientifikgenius, @DFF,and @Fadri that they are still with us.

 

I did not receive news these last weeks from
@Pegleg, @King Know-Nothing, and @Worm318. 
Remember that a simple "Ok" or a like on this post will count as a check.

 

We have a couple of newcomers, too:
@Soulinus, @Azafran, @pooplord01, @CblBOPOTKA and @senyaiv
Welcome to the project!

 

On my end I've been testing what you've sent me, and also I'm working on the secret maps.
Plus, I've been working on the closer map. No name decided yet but here's a screen as a teaser.
 

Spoiler

Once again, thank you so much for all the work, and let me know if I can help in any way.

[Fadri]

I'm still on it!

I didn't make too much progress this time because I was busy on other things but at least I've been thinking of some ideas for the rest of the secrets.

I'll make some actual progress as soon as I can.

[Stabbey]

My check-in is that I have made no progress since last check-in. I was working on my submission for PUSS XXV: Lunacy instead.

[Bri0che]

I'm still into the project :)

 

And I think I have now some improvements to do to my map, since I've experienced myself with Boom recently... So those next days will be about polishing hehe.

[Soulinus]

Checking in. Still working on it.
Thus far, I have 2 out of the 6 secrets done, and the full layout while not implemented, it's mostly thought out.
Most "done" areas still need some detailing, but things are progressing smoothly.
