Actually, this is my 2nd most anticipated wad, right after TNT2.

This.

I sooooo loved the first 15 maps. I don't care what anyone says, this is what Doom2 could have been. The atmosphere, the progression, the sense of immersion are all top notch. This wad genuinely had me scared in places.

Fantastic to see continued progress.

I agree, can't wait for this to come out. Great to see progress.

Let me know if anyone would be interested in WIP maps or more frequent updates, or if I should just complete the thing first and then release a beta.

I'm tempted to say release more WIP maps, but that would ruin the surprise. I say finish it and release a beta.

Warning: image heavy post

Screens taken in PRBoom + software

Damn, I'm beginning to feel super nostalgic at software rendering.

Cool looking stuff. I particularly like the red crystal-like formation in the E2 style base.

I am always pleased to see progress on this thread. Man, Hellbound is my most anticipated forthcoming Doom release, with the possible exception of TNT2.

Great stuff Z86.

Thanks for the replies!

I wish I could tell when I'll be done with this, but I just have no idea. Some time ago I pretty much facelifted all the older maps, and tested them to death with software renderer as well (and adjusted brightness and visiblity in some places because software is just much darker). Hopefully I won't need to do that again.

There are only 6 maps which are still placeholders (those empty freedoom maps), the others are all started to some degree at least (4 that need a lot more geometry still)

I just noticed a misaligned texture on screen1... OMG I need to fix that NAO.

If you want a gameplay/beta tester, I'd be up for this.

The beta will be open as soon as all maps will be playable from start to end. Any beta testers are welcome.

Since the Demo 2 in the link was quite outdated and I fixed numerous bugs since then I uploaded a Demo 3 (this has MAP01-MAP15 in it). For anyone concerned I will probably not change any more on those maps, unless it's a bugfix or a popular request.

Music is still not final, and Demo3 uses 2 tracks composed by Jimmy91 (others are original Doom/Doom2/Final Doom/Duke Nukem).

I don't like white lamps in the blue parts of that HUD. Dunno why, maybe because they're brighter than the letters. (so I notice them first and only then how much HP/ammo I have, or something)

To be honest I wasn't sure about those too, maybe i'll try different colors

Sorry, but I need to ask. Why did you use IDDQD on these first two screenshots? :)

One suggestion, the use of STONE2 on MAP14 and MAP15 is pretty ugly, the bricks are not offset correctly.

I think the idea of the lights is good and original. Maybe changing the color of the big numbers (but not the words under them) can make them stand out. Maybe to yellow, where they'd combine with the small weapon and ammo numbers.

All is proceeding according to the plan...

Though there's no plan.

My predicted completion time would be towards the end of the year (christmas or something).

I'm working on MAP31 and 24. 25 is almost done (fully playable, I might just add a few details). All ideas are now set, only a few names remain.

As you can see I have not used the A-button in DB yet (for a peevy reason). Otherwise Architecture and style is probably going to be this.

You can also see the new HUD font color.

I might put up a new version of the Demo as I found some aestetically unpleasing bugs in some pre15 maps...

aaaaah yes, map 14. aka one of the best city maps ever!

The contrast on that video was so high that all the demons looked as if they had doomguy's 'invulnerability eyes'. I kept expecting them not to die. But of course they did.

Great level.

Great level.

I let youtube correct the brightness on it since it looked quite dark. + I had brightmaps on, probably that's the cause.
(http://forum.zdoom.org/viewforum.php?f=19)

I think I'll be using a bit brighter light setup in the future when recording, though.

Thanks for the compliments!
