AtticTelephone Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) This is the thread relating to the THFS Community Megawad, about a space marine (not Doomguy, Sodaguy), who has to avenge his fellow marines after the demons invaded Earth again and took all of his and his friends' soda. It is currently unfinished, and is in development, and nobody knows if it will be compatible with different source-ports (I suggest Boom/MBF and not GZDoom). The wad is inspired by the beginner levels by @The BMFG, but had become a community megawad after a couple of inspired maps. Rules: There must be a large amount of health bonuses/armor bonuses in the level. The final compilation will feature the Soda Can Bonus sprite pack, armor bonuses have not been given sprites yet. Maps must at least look and play as good as a Doom II level or better. It has not been discussed whether the levels that BMFG made should stay or be replaced, but a more balanced MAP01 has been made. Doomguy and Sodaguy are completely different people. Map names should have a pun that mentions soda or related drinks (energy drinks and such). Maps: 1: Fizz Fury, recreation of the first THFS level by BMFG, 90% done, only needs polishing and bugfixing. By me. 2-12: Empty. 13: Untested, but assumed to be done. By @AvadaKedavraWithQuadDamage. 14: Untested and has not been playtested enough. By BMFG. 15-31: Empty. 32: Dew of the Divine, green/Mountain Dew themed level, and features no health bonuses, only armor bonuses. 15% done, starting area incomplete. By me, again. If you are interested, get a drink of your choice (preferably pop) and get your mapping tools, they're gonna pay for taking your carbonated consumables. 1 Share this post Link to post

Yandere_Doomer Posted December 18, 2020 ive never been a part of a community project before, so ill contribute. question, is one person going to add the soda sprites to the health bonuses? or is everybody going to add it themselves? 0 Share this post Link to post

We don't have to yet, we're working on the levels and not the soda sprites yet. I have thought about custom monsters, but I think only the Kick Attack series has soda-themed ones. In fact, imagine the reason they stole the soda was to power their machines and create demons with it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Yandere_Doomer Posted December 18, 2020 another question, how high is your expectations when it comes to level design? im an amateur mapper [although not as amateur as bmfg] i can make a decent level. 0 Share this post Link to post

The BMFG Posted December 18, 2020 i would like a recreation of map 03 of THFS Classic i did think the idea of busting soda dealers in their apartments was cool and funny? i would like to see like a drug dealer imp enemy since most of the "dealers" in the map were just imps 0 Share this post Link to post

Clippy Posted December 18, 2020 Does anyone else find it quite rude how attictelephone ran with The BMFG's idea and then rejected all his maps and going on about how bad they are? Wtf show some respect to the original brain child of this stuff or get your own stuff Honestly wtf 15 Share this post Link to post

Not unless they have doors that are chunkier than mancubi, rooms that can only fit 4 mancubi, and have stealth monsters. They would have to be redone, like what I did with MAP01 of THFS Classic and turned it into Fizz Fury. 0 Share this post Link to post

I think that if this was Boom/MBF compatible, more people with different ports would want to try it, since GZDoom levels only work with GZDoom and ZDoom levels with ZDoom, while Boom levels run with a bunch of source ports. However, I think MAYBE if it was ZDoom compatible (not GZDoom, that would be too much), it would be fine. Also, the reason those levels might not make it into THFS Community Edition is because I would rather have similar versions of the levels BMFG made, but improved both aesthetically and gameplay-wise. As I said before, they could be used like blueprints, since they would feel a bit out of place with the other levels that people would submit. Also, for some reason I just had the idea of a level that's just MAP01 of THFS Classic, but then it does a Warrens, and becomes way way different, but I'm not sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
