EDIT: It's out! http://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?p=784065
"Here goes yet another fucking community project." - Me, and probably also you Shut Up and Get On It (or SUGOI, and i swear to god it's not intentional) is a project to try and encourage people to make something to put it into one big ol' map pack. The absolute best way to do something is simply, well, to do it! This aims to be a reason for people who have been meaning to try mapping to actually get over the initial hump of learning Zone Builder, to hopefully encourage even the most talented to try out an idea or two that's been on their mind for a while, and for everyone to help hone their skill. This isn't a contest; let's just get everyone to do something new! Hopefully the very quick deadline will encourage people to work on a short but sweet map (1-2 minutes to beat?), help them get their maps done, and just be a neat challenge to try out in general. If we got about, say 10 people to make a 1 minute long map, then we would have a nice 10 minute long pack for everyone to play! c: The rules are as follows. They are a bit long, I know, but there's only a little bit here that will actually disqualify you, so don't sweat them too much as long as you read them a little bit. Spoiler: Here's our time table; I'm rather lax about most deadlines and will let you submit and update past the deadlines, but if you need to upload your map past August 9th then you'll have to send it to me privately. Threads in Editing cannot have download links after a month; sorry! July 9-11: START YOUR ENGINES Use this time to get inspiration, write down ideas, draw a layout down on paper, look into if your ideas are possible... etc, etc. I would prefer that you don't start early, but I can't stop anyone so you'll just get a disapproving shake of the head directed towards you. Build up and sit on ideas for a couple days, so that you'll be more motivated to do them when you go to make them, as well as have a lot of them!July 12-26: JUST MAKE IT ALREADY Make your map, post WIPs and screenshots while you work on it if you want, and have a beatable version of your wad posted in the thread on or before the 26th. Make a little bit of your map everyday, or blaze through it in half a week. Do whatever! Though, I'd suggest to not try to go and make ERZ2 in a couple of weeks. Start small and polish that up, instead of rushing a half-finished thing out the door.July 27-August 9: POLISH THOSE SHOES You've got your map posted and beatable, now it's time for criticism. Listen to what people have to say and polish it based on that, tweak it to your own accord, or redo stuff that you aren't happy with. Regardless, be sure your absolute final versions ready and posted by August 9th.August 10-???: SWEET SWEET RELEASE Time to sit back and relax. Congratulations, you've made a map; give yourself a pat on the back! Once I get everyone's map complied together into one pack, make the finale/hub, and everything's ready to go, it'll go through Submissions and hopefully into Releases!We have an IRC channel at #sugoi. Idle in there if you are entering; it's a nice way to show off your work to others! Submit your map using this handy form, or I'll give you a mean glare: Code:

I have to admit, this is impressive! I definitely want to try this out, but with the way life is treating me right now, I can't make promises, but I'll start drawing and making ideas asap!

SUGOI desu! That's a neat idea! Too bad it's for SP\Co-op only though, I'd throw in a map or two for Match\CTF if that was accepted =S

I might consider a Multiplayer oriented version some time later. This is more of a crash course to see how well received the idea is, and considering SP/Coop is much easier to test properly and is generally more popular I feel like it is the best choice to start with. More than one gametype would be spreading this a bit too thin as well, so sorry. I would love for you to try joining regardless, since the main point of SUGOI is to get people to want to try something new and hone their skill. c:
EDIT: Lemme expand on some stuff that doesn't exactly belong in the opening post, since I'm pretty sure I'll have a couple (well-founded) skeptics. Basically, I really wanted to start this after participating in the earlier mentioned DUMP and I felt like it might rekindle some mapping interest. I really mean it, I just want people to try mapping and get the community together to contribute to itself. I'll bet a lot of my decisions will end in a massive headache for myself, like juggling Lua/SOC DoomEdNums to everyone (I was very undecided on allowing Lua/SOC at all, since it's gonna be troublesome and might distract people away from focusing on layout, but it felt blasphemous to not allow probably the biggest draw to SRB2 modding ever since it was added), but whatever. If anything, I *want* a headache, because it means I was successful in getting people to map. I can live with my hands full 24/7 if we get a neat mapset for everyone out of it, even if it doesn't blow everyone's minds. Overall, I was really on the fence about starting this, but there is hardly any disadvantage if it bombs so I felt like it was worth at least trying. I'm also overly optimistic by nature so I just couldn't stop myself :v Last edited by TehRealSalt; 07-12-2016 at 12:04 AM. |

I'd been thinking about how cool it would be to host a map jam like this. It's too bad I'm already knee deep in a project right now- if it happens again in the future, it'd be a neat challenge to just spend a month cranking out generic art packs so everyone has a chance to make something fresh.

But anyways, the deadlines: Quote:
August 9 is also a month after the thread's creation, so sorry that means we can't have download links in this thread anymore due to that one forum rule. That makes it a bit difficult to do the "polishing" part, since that effectively cuts off critique. So, I'm begging everyone to try getting in before then!

Hey look, a new community project. I've got a bunch of ideas for maps written down, so I'll take one of them and try to make a level out of it.
hopefully it'll be a... SUGOI map. In fact, if anyone wants to work with me on a one shot project. I've got a bunch of ideas and I'm happy to share them if anyone is willing to sprite or code some badniks while I work on the level geometry.

I think I will join this, doing a community project sounds cool. It will be interesting to see what kind of maps people will make for this. This could also help me improve on making maps.

I'm up for this.
on the music restriction, it's safe to assume that OGG is out, correct? It's not in either approved category.

I'm in. This is a good opportunity for me to flesh out my map-making skills a bit. Sounds fun.

I'll throw my hat into the ring, too. It'll be nice to map something to completion.

But yeah, if everyone had custom textures, scripts, and music, then the file size is going to be big, so I want people to use whats probably the smallest music formats SRB2 supports. (Not that I expect anyone to have all of those in their map, but let's play it safe. Plus tracker music's good c:) btw thanks everyone so far for joining in <3 Last edited by TehRealSalt; 07-10-2016 at 05:30 AM. |

I'll see what I have that can inspire me. I've already downloaded plenty of Modules from a certain Jazz Jackrabbit 2 site.
In fact, I'll link it here for more module selections: http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/ (They do host mp3's too, but they can't be filtered out unlike everything else. Some Jazz 2 levels come with custom music too)

I'll contribute. I'll finally be able to get one map out the door and finally show something of publicly.

Sounds very interesting, so to send here maps, just to send like this in code?
