Doom: World Carnage League Concept Level.....
This has been a long time in the making. I think I first started working on
this concept a couple of years ago (maybe longer). But other projects got in
the way and so progress on this was slow. This 'concept' level has actually
been completed for about 6 months. I wasn't originaly going to release any
sort of demo. However, I have not released ANYTHING this year (which is a
very poor state of affairs), so I dusted this level off and knocked together
a simple staging area and this is the result.
So what is the concept?
The world carnage league is a fantasy future sport. Contestants compete on
a circuit of purpose built tracks and arenas around the world (and off-world,
the moon, mars, null space, etc) with the aim of becoming this seasons World
Carnage Champion.
The league has a number of levels the contestant must compete at. Firstly,
you must qualify for the amateur league by completing a basic qualifying
track. This is the track included in this wad.
Once in the amatuer league, a medal must be earned in each of it's tracks
before the contestant can advance to the next league. Medals available are
Gold, Silver and Bronze, for first, second and third place respectively.
If the player should obtain a gold medal for every track in that league, a
secret track will be unlocked. (I will admit to drawing inspiration from SSX
for the medal thing).
This cycle continues for all leagues and the player must get a gold medal
in every track of the final league to earn the title 'World Carnage League
Champion'.
Proposed leagues are:
Amatuer League
Intermediate League
Expert League
Professional League
Champion League
but that's a LOT of tracks to build, so this is open to change :)
There will be a number of differing styles of track/level. Varying from
straight forward runs (like the level included in this wad) to arenas and
obstacle courses. The more advanced tracks will have multiple routes and
a few surprises. There will also be a few novelty or themed tracks (I have
already started building an arena based on the design of a pinball table).
In each of the tracks the players objective is to score as many points as
possible and get to the end before the timer runs out. Points are scored
by killing monsters.
There will be new pickups, weapons and monsters. The only new pickup
featured in this concept wad is the 'time bonus' (which adds 5 second to
the timer).
Every time the player kills a monster the aggression bar will increase
(displayed on the right hand side of the screen). When this bar reaches
the top the player will enter a 'Kill Frenzy', in which the currently held
weapon's characteristics will change. In this wad the only weapon
available is the shotgun and in this case it's rate of fire increases
during a kill frenzy.
Please note that this wad has a few placeholders that will be replaced
before the final product is released. These include the 'time bonus'
pickup graphics and all the announcer sound files.
Well, that's a bit garbled, but I hope it all makes sense. Let me know
what you think of this level and the idea of the project. All feedback
is welcome (my email address at the bottom of this document).
Many thanks to James DREADS who composed the music for this track. James
will be composing original music for all the tracks in this project. His
website is at http://www.nohyperecords.co.uk
Now all I need is to get a programmer on board to make some alterations
to the ZDoom source code. I could probably do it myself but my coding
skills (or lack of them) are rusty, I'm not familiar with the ZDoom source
and I'd rather spend my time building the tracks :)
Currently I have two other tracks near completion and three more almost
half done.

By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
By entropy122 · PostedWhat the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
By Walter confetti · PostedNot that bad, even kind of interesting find the secrets in the map! But yeah, that switches jungle is a awful choice really.
