scifista42 Posted February 7, 2014 C30N9 said:"'O of Life!" might be better. Also you forgot one " ' " before the name. Didn't you right now forget the " ' " after the O? OP updated with all new requests, except the pit condo which 1) is too long for a vanilla automap and 2) even though English isn't my native language, it sounds bad to me, uncreative too. EDIT: Crushed Dreams is maybe too long too. It doesn't matter for now, if the maps aren't even finished yet. We will sort it somehow in the end anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Magnusblitz Posted February 7, 2014 I'll just chime in my two cents that I think coming up with "original" names is a better idea than combinations. We're not doing map mashups, here. Same layouts, different themes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fernito Posted February 7, 2014 Well... I have always been awful at naming things, so I'm open to suggestions :P 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 7, 2014 Original, non-original or a mix, I believe the thing which really matters is whether it's creative, inspirative, appropriate and sounding good. In theory, of course, and in my personal opinion which anyone can disregard, because it's totally up to anyone how they name their maps. Besides, it may be a good idea to give the map a name after it's done, to actually reflect its true nature. Specially if you don't have a vision of the map before. Make a map, and decide the name based on its actual execution, I say. ;) I only created the column for map names because the already submitted maps had names, and I already knew the name for my forthcoming map. No need to give your maps names right now, I'll only need them in the end. But it's useful to have them written in one place, I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jayextee Posted February 7, 2014 Can I claim two? Map 30 layout in Map 01 slot seems doable. That is to say, I had an idea how. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted February 7, 2014 Ah lets go for this. Let's put map 09 into the map18 slot. Name - infected well. lets see if I can magic up something half decent 0 Share this post Link to post
NuMetalManiak Posted February 7, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/PpesJYk.png I'm about halfway done with this one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted February 8, 2014 It's nice to see so many contributors so quickly. Also, a big thanks to scifista42 for taking care of the organization aspect and laying out the ground rules. I'll be contributing more in the play-testing and bug-fixing areas, and helping out as needed. I know I've already done two (and they still need work), but I'd like to grab another slot. Map23 is big and blocky, so it might just make a good Wolfenstein map to fill out the map31 slot. I'm not sure of a name yet, but I was thinking Barrelstein, Barrels of Stein, or Wolfunstein (Wolfensplode, perhaps? :v). While I'm here, my mash-up names were just silly working titles, so I think map10 could be named simply "Starport", and map22 could be "Dark Descent". I'm not very good at naming maps, so I'll keep it simple and to the point. 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 8, 2014 I like "Barrels of Stein", fitting laughable name for a secret map. On the other hand, couldn't you come up with something more unique than "Starport"? At least something like "Starport World", so people can immediately connect the map with MAP28's layout. 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted February 8, 2014 Starport What about "Spiritual Base"? 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 8, 2014 The word "Spirit" is already used in MAP28's name. But let's let the decision to Megalyth. 0 Share this post Link to post
zinkai Posted February 8, 2014 I would like to claim map 32 layout with map 26 slot. Thank you 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 8, 2014 OK, zinkai. Now we have an overabundance of unclaimed City map layouts, and unclaimed Base target slots. For all future participants, please pick these slots between each other as a matter of priority, or we might end up with a paradox when only City or only Base mapslots will remain, which we don't want. Thank you. 0 Share this post Link to post
The_MártonJános Posted February 8, 2014 It is quite hard to find a correct name for "Nirvana-->Gantlet". 0 Share this post Link to post
Jayextee Posted February 8, 2014 Portmanteau it? Nirvantlet or Gantvana (or variations thereof)? I'm thinking 'Iconway' for MAP01 and 'Courtyard of Sin' for MAP30 -- shall see after making them how well they fit and if other names are needed. Will crack on with one of them tomorrow. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
The_MártonJános Posted February 8, 2014 I like "Nirvantlet", but it sounds a bit juvenile in the terms of a serious project. 0 Share this post Link to post

cannonball Posted February 8, 2014 Gantlet of Nirvana.... could work in an incredibly lazy way. 0 Share this post Link to post
C30N9 Posted February 8, 2014 Or how about we do not change maps' names? In my opinion I see this is very fitting for the project. We are just changing the layout of the maps, not the themes. Switcheroom 1 had nonsense names. My map's name for example, "Containment of Despair" sounded to me out of place, and it's just a combination to refer to both maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

The_MártonJános Posted February 8, 2014 My bad, that just looks ridiculous. Besides, I've gotten further in "Nirvantlet", designed 3 rooms so far, and I'm trying not to use the MAP03 style exclusively, still making some of the rooms utterly reflecting on it. 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted February 9, 2014 hmm maybe I've gone too far away from the original pit here 0 Share this post Link to post
an_mutt Posted February 9, 2014 I'm so disappointed that I've only just seen this thread and the maps I wanted have already been claimed. :( Map 04 in mapslot 21 would have been my choice simply because of the map name: Spoiler Focus 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted February 9, 2014 --- EDIT: I apologize, I misread the "would have been" in the post above as if you were actually claiming it. --- I'm sorry, but you need to pick an available slot. MAP21 isn't. Also let me repeat what I said about claiming slots a few posts above.Now we have an overabundance of unclaimed City map layouts, and unclaimed Base target slots. For all future participants, please pick these slots between each other as a matter of priority, or we might end up with a paradox when only City or only Base mapslots will remain, which we don't want. Thank you. So I'd better like to see those slots to be claimed first, fortunately it's still not a critical problem, as quite a few slots still remain. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fellowzdoomer Posted February 9, 2014 EDIT: dang u c3on9! Id like to claim map05 using something like map29 as a layout. 0 Share this post Link to post
Brusle Posted February 9, 2014 Hey there guys hope you don't mind me joining in. :) Seeing as there's only one last hell layout left, I'd like to claim MAP24(Layout) and put it in the MAP16(Target) slot, cause I already have the idea how the map will look like. As for the name i dunno maybe Suburban Chasm or Erosion, will think of a better name later. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fellowzdoomer Posted February 10, 2014 Sorry. I didn't read. Can I instead claim map24 as a layout with map05 being a target? 0 Share this post Link to post
