Abyssal Speedmapping Session 14 - "Obsidian is a lazy prat" Edition

[Obsidian]

Previous session.

Why yes, I do still need to compile the last session! How did you guess?

Ahem. The next session is scheduled for Sunday the 18th at the regular time of 2pm NZ time. Suggestions for maps are welcome and if you want to find me on Skype, look for Obsidian from New Zealand. I'm probably going to hold it at my mate's place again, so expect blumpkins and Sean Connery. In that order.

Maybe Agent Smith as well. I have interesting friends.

Also, a note on themes: Tarnsman brought up an interesting point regarding themes on one of his Twitch TV streams. If I recall correctly he talked about the Tango TV sessions where more often than not a particular gameplay mechanic would be used as the map theme as opposed to decorative themes. So for this session, try and suggest a few things out of the box: think of facets of Doom mapping that are usually left neglected and bring them to the forefront. Good luck! :)

No one cares but I have to note: now I can't join yet, but from February, I'm trying to be a permanent mapper for ASS!

[AD_79]

I'll see if I'm able to be there.

[Jimmy]

I have plans on that day but I should still be able to make this. :)

As for ideas: perpetual floors need some love. Make the inclusion of at least 2 mandatory. :P

Use of linedef actions 24, 46, & 47

[scifista42]

ALL keycards and skullkeys and their respective Boom locks to be used in one map.

[Capellan]

Light amp goggles. Probably the least used power up in the game :-)

[scifista42]

Invulnerability spheres are also rare items, but I can only imagine a gimmicky gameplay centered around them. Maybe it would go! :)

Just wondering, Do I really have to go on skype for the speedmapping session?

Nope, I also post the themes here as soon as the session starts. It's always nice to have new people on the call though. :)

I was never there, and my maps (that I made during the session's scheduled time) got accepted anyway.

Yeah, it's like, if only you could TALK to the mappers, now THAT would be interesting!

[AD_79]

Here's the thing: You CAN talk to the mappers :P

[Breezeep]

I wonder of the theme will be space stations...

[Obsidian]

22 hours until the session! I would have posted at the 24 mark but I was waylaid by an awesome game of Borderlands 2. Screw the Bunker with a red-hot iron poker though, seriously. :P

[Breezeep]

wasn't the session scheduled for sunday?

[AD_79]

Sunday New Zealand time. The session is on Saturday at 5 PM for me :P

[Obsidian]

Yeah, I should probably schedule this properly, shouldn't I? Maybe next session.

[Jimmy]

Certainly putting the start times in a few time zones in the first post would help a lot.

[Breezeep]

It's 5:00 here in my area. I'm anxious to get started on this.

[Obsidian]
