"Interception" is a vanilla megawad for DOOM II. The story takes place in the distant future, and involves being part of a team of marines, who are sent a distress signal from an archeology site. The rest of your team is killed by some nasty hellspawns. Now it's your job to stop the invasion, or die trying. Along the way, you explore ancient military bases, an underground necropolis, and Hell itself.

Mapping Themes:
Keep in mind that this wad is very story-based, and requires the maps to convey a specific atmosphere. You cannot just slap together a random map and submit it. It has to fit a specific theme somehow. This wad takes place on Earth! Keep that in mind!

MAP01-MAP11: Maps 01-11 take place at an archeology site, which is compromised of "ancient" ruins and techbases. This wad takes place far enough into the future that an average techbase is now ancient and decaying. No specific limits here other than a rundown techbase theme.

MAP12-MAP20: Maps 12-20 take place in an underground necropolis, inhabited solely by demons. The city is in decent shape, but there is a ton of satanic imagery, and the city is very bloody and dirty. Again, no specific limits other than a demon city theme. Be creative!

MAP21-MAP30: Hell itself. Not much to say here. You should already have a good idea of what makes a good Hell in Doom. No limits other than a Hell theme.

MAP31 & MAP32: Another dimension completely! Be as creative as you want! NO LIMITS!

This looks like my cup of tea, and to quote essel, this is "2011, the year of the vanilla megawad"

Those screens look really nice and classic, very impressed man.

Thanks phobos! Essel was right, even though this technically won't be released until 2012, along with possibly a few other wads.

Yay, another vanilla megawad. (:

Lovely! Good luck with it. Let me know if you need any betatesters.

Sweet! This is just my mapping speed. I'll have to join in at some point soon (but I don't want to get too tangled in right now cause I'm already involved in some other things).

Looking at the screens I'd say you could use more height variation for both floor and ceiling.

I can maybe you propose a titlepic, even if I am occupied a lot at the moment, but as you begin your project, I think that it does not owe you raise of problem.

Looks fun, I'll try to make a hell map for you.
Will there be new skies/other textures?

@Khorus: Well, there is more height variation as the level goes on. But, adding more might ruin the flow of the level.

@franckFRAG: I'll send you a PM of what I would like the titlepic to look like.

@Memfis: Yes, there will be new skies. I don't know about new textures yet, as the default textures seem to be working okay for me, and I'm not that great at making textures. If someone would like to make a texture pack for this project, that would be pretty cool.

Cool to see another vanilla megawad in the making. Good luck with it.

Phobosdeimos1, that layout looks great. Maybe you can convert some of your rejected DTWiD submissions to Doom 2 format and use them for this project? :)

I'm probably going to make a map for this soon. I'll probably claim something in one of the earlier map slots when I get back.

I'd be in for making a later Hell map. How about slot 29?

The work is coming along great so far! Thanks to all the cool people who joined the team!

EDIT: I'm also thinking about letting the mappers use any texture pack they want. But, that could lead to a big filesize. What do you guys think?

I do enjoy the enthusiasm for vanilla megawads of late. Perhaps if it's still going after I get past some other commitments (though that's unlikely), I'll throw a map in. Just busy.

Also, what Khorus said. Height variation in the same room increases gameplay by ~1000 times.

There is more height variation later on. Like I said, that was only a little bit of the map. Besides, I think the less height variation at the start actually enhances the map. But, we'll have to see what others think.

I'd like to claim MAP31.

Not sure if how long it'll take though; I'm currently working on other stuff.

I've not been involving myself in community projects due to working on PFCP, but it's in it's later stages so you can put me down for MAP08 if you like and I'll work on it during quieter times on the project.

Any rules on difficulty/monster/weapon progression?

Not really. Just keep the monster progression at about an Evilution level.

EDIT: Also, how's this for a team name, "The Interceptors"?

Don't do this. You'll end up having lots of maps with totally different themes. Either make one texture pack for everyone, or limit your wad to only IWAD textures. I personally would prefer the second.

Thank you for your insight. I was thinking that maybe it would allow for more creative freedom, but then I realized that it would cause too much creative freedom. I would still like a custom texture pack, but this project seems to be going great without one so far.

I think that I'm going to take a slot, I have already begun a map there is some weeks, for vanilla, and I knew not really that I could make it.. I shall like choosing the slot 9, but I think that it will be the only one map that I would propose you. :)

Even though I'm not actually contributing to this as of now, I'd stick with the normal IWAD textures if you want to keep that "classic" feel. That's just my opinion though.
