Work had begun on the first 7 maps in the series (the demo began with Map08, went through Map13, then jumped to Map27). In keeping with a semblance of a story-line, the first 7 maps were set in space (e.g., a space station), after which the player is sent to explore the mysterious events that ensue starting in Map08. Espi had actually started work on Map28, which was to be a continuation of Map 27, at the end of which the player jumps into a seemingly bottomless pit.
Some snow-themed maps had been planned. A couple of mappers had joined the team, but personal commitments and health problems prevented them from making progress. One of the key mappers, Chris Couleur, has a schedule that only permits DooM-related activities a few months in the year. Ty Halderman, the head honcho, has moved away from DooM. As a result, only marginal progress was made after the demo. The plans for more maps are not entirely dead, and may surface if a few of the core members come together. Who knows? 2013 may breathe some life into this seemingly dead project.
