Abyssal Seasonal Shindig - WE BEGIN

[Obsidian]

 

 

It's been a hot minute, hasn't it folks?

 

Yes, ASS is back in a very special way! We're organizing a weekend-long event on the Abyssal Speedmapping Session server where folks can map to their heart's content and shoot the shit with other mappers on call, all in service of making an entire megawad's worth of maps to celebrate Doom's 30th!

 

• The event will go from Friday the 8th to Sunday the 10th EST, with the mapping deadline being at midnight on Sunday.
• The bulk of the activity will be in the ASS Discord server (lovingly referred to as the ASScord), which can be accessed here. Bear in mind that the invites are temporary ones that auto-kick you when you log out.
• Calls will be scheduled in the voice channel for 4pm EST on Day 1 and Day 3, but folks are allowed to conduct additional calls as they please. If you wanna talk with folks while you map, you don't have to wait for this sleepy Kiwi to start things for you. :P
• A texture set will be provided once things kick off, along with a quick briefing on the themes we're using.

That was totally unexpected.

Can't access the Discord because the invite no longer works but just wanted to ask how this WAD was coming along and if my map was suitable enough for the WAD? Perfectly fine if not ^-^

Unfortunately the event in general was kind of a wash: turnout was low and what maps were submitted somewhat misinterpreted the criteria, which I suppose is on me for not being absolutely clear in that regard. I may revisit the concept later in the future, albeit with a tighter focus.

That's a shame, I do hope it goes better if and when you revisit it! Would it be okay if I repurposed the map I submitted for my own WAD? :)

Sure, go for it. 👍
