Benjogami Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) The Egg of Human Endeavors is a single map made in February 2018 for Vargskelethor's Doom Mapping Contest 2: Hellectric Boogaloo. It's complevel 9 and tested thoroughly by me in PrBoom+ and GZDoom (but mostly in PrBoom+). Hurt Me Plenty is designed to be fun for everyone, and Ultra-Violence is designed to be fun for challenge enthusiasts. Download: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/humanegg Version History Spoiler RC2 has a couple of minor gameplay changes and a couple of aesthetic adjustments from the version submitted to Joel. RC3 has an improved exit lift (thanks for reminding me about that Megablast!) and is now being built with ZDBSP. RC4 has improved lifts and some aesthetic tweaks in the start area. RC4 was the final version and was uploaded to idgames. Edited January 23, 2019 by Benjogami 29 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted December 14, 2018 I read that as The Egg of Human Elevators and if that's not a bullshit map name I don't know what is. 7 Share this post Link to post
tourniquet Posted December 14, 2018 eggRC2_tnQ-saves.zip Inept playthrough on "Everyone's difficulty" which was indeed fun & very forgiving. Not a huge fan of the initial climb up part but the 2 larger follow up fights were really fun. Very delightful 1 Share this post Link to post

I think your only deaths were after falling, but you could have TP'd back up. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted December 19, 2018 Oh hey, a slaughtermap that I thought was fun, that doesn't happen everyday. I was also pretty surprised by how forgiving it is with the resources, too much even IMO (at least on HMP). 2 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted December 28, 2018 Glad you enjoyed, @KVELLER! I updated the OP with a new RC. RC3 has an improved exit lift (thanks for reminding me, Megablast!) and is now being built with ZDBSP. 1 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted January 15, 2019 RC4 is now up in the OP. I tried out some generalized Boom lifts instead of the vanilla WR lift actions, and I think it's better. Also, some visual improvements at the top of the start area. 2 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted January 23, 2019 RC4 was uploaded to idgames: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/humanegg 5 Share this post Link to post

cu2 Posted March 10, 2020 May I ask something? Is there an archive of the RC2 version? The one the downloadable demos above were created for? I would like to have some demos of this map beaten on UV (impossible for me :P), and possibly even put them in the wad itself with slade 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't recommend playing these or viewing the demo, but here they are if you want them. :D 2 Share this post Link to post
cu2 Posted March 12, 2020 Thank you for providing the files! I already have rc1 from Joel's contest links, though, but I appreciate it. I want to see how would anyone beat the part with the cyberdemons, lots of cacodemons and hell knobles, all on that ring that you can't get back up and all it takes for you to fall is a cyberdemon rocket :O 0 Share this post Link to post

I didn't get hit on purpose, but I did make some very bad decisions at times :D Near the end where I jump down and almost get trapped in that pile of barons really stands out to me. I should have expected them to be there! 0 Share this post Link to post
Cacotamer666 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Hi, I have an issue where some textures, especially at the starting platforms, do not load in. the objects themselves do, however so it is a texture error. do you have a solution? i use gzdoom opengl, hardware accelerated with texture filtering off. Thanks in advance 0 Share this post Link to post
