Lone2401 Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) It's been a while since the last playable iteration of Anomaly so I'm releasing this new demo. This demo has updated versions of the maps from the last demo, as well as MAP04, a new weapon, a new powerup, and more interactive environments. Happy holidays Doomworld! Download (Google Drive mirror) old post- Spoiler This is a 3 map demo of ANOMALY, my first multi-map WAD. I plan to make 9 levels in the structure of an Ultimate Doom episode, 8 normal maps and 1 secret level. Made for GZdoom, jumping and freelook are required. Custom music composed by a friend will be included in the final version. Screenshots- Spoiler MAP01 MAP02 MAP03 Download (Google Drive mirror) Edited July 30, 2020 by LoneAlpha2401 16 Share this post Link to post

kknot5889 Posted August 31, 2019 Just played through the demo and I very much enjoyed it. Solid levels with neat secrets and good progression. I particularly liked the cctv screens in the last map. They didn't have any business looking as crisp and clear as they did. I'll admit I did get lost once on that level, but that was probably my own fault. Definitely looking forward to playing more! The screenshots you've posted of e1m4 makes it look like a distinct turn from the last few maps. That was a reasonably innocent looking portal to hell in e1m3. 1 Share this post Link to post

The screenshot doesn't do it justice but that's the only presentable part of the map at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post

Lone2401 Posted February 6, 2020 @kknot5889 Looks like you're using an old version of GZdoom. The new demo utilizes features only available in the newest version. 1 Share this post Link to post

Lone2401 Posted March 25, 2020 Development on ANOMALY has been put on hold until further notice. 1 Share this post Link to post
Lone2401 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Sorry about the long delay, I don't have anything new to show. Sadly the music pack will either be canceled or released late. EDIT: I truly apologize for the extreme delay, I only have to make 1 more map. I've just been struggling to stay motivated. EDIT 2: I've been having some bad mapper's block. I promise the WAD will be finished by the end of this month. EDIT 3: ANOMALY has been released! Edited July 30, 2020 by LoneAlpha2401 1 Share this post Link to post
