Title: Community Map Development
Post by: Paradox on March 31, 2008, 05:30:36 am: Well, dont know how well this will fare, but i have great hopes for it.

What it is is a large map, developed by many seperate developers. Sort of an experiment in community development.

If you wish to help/contribute (good) ideas, join us at
http://os42tremmap.sourceforge.net

The map will be called Orbital Station 42

Not really. I've seen Paradox "use stuff" wrong before.

Can I do the reactor? That's always one of my favorite things to build (Look at Gamma Core 2's screenshots :P )

Post by: Paradox on April 03, 2008, 09:33:34 pm: Sure. Anyone can contribute anything. If we like what we see, it will get pushed into the center part.

Post by: Supertanker on April 06, 2008, 12:13:22 am: Errrr....I'm not a mod. I just won Judge's Choice in the Service Facility contest for my 'innovative' iris doors in Station15-beta1
Thanks, though :)

Post by: techhead on April 07, 2008, 12:14:02 am: I think that this project will get one of two results:
1. Fizz out and have nothing produced. (Worst-case)
2. Make a very... interesting... map, that I would love to try out. (Best-case)

I can't imagine this experiment ending in a boring map. Crap, maybe, but definitely not boring.
