Thanks for finding it. By the way, what source port (and version) do you using? I want to take a better look on the sky, but dsda 0.24.3 cannot help me in that mission, correcting these defects.

That's the port (same version, too) I was using lol.

Map Name: Kickstarter

Music: Wanderer by FAI

Info & notes: This is the first map of the project, if you are not sure how the map should go, this should serve as an example.

further update will be done.

The screenshot reminds me of good old Unreal mapping. There be more like this here?

Well let's see, I'm sure someone will make something better than this

And there is already, check out other ppl's map

hi Fai here

I put in some times and here's the first build, pre-alpha. next build will be released after another sizable amount of map being submitted or revised

DOWNLOAD

Content: 

• Added all the available maps (01,06,08,11,14,21,23,25,32)
• Added some custom sprites
• Added menu elements (TITLEPIC, INTERPIC, custom difficulty name)
• Added music for Title, intermission, text screen

Things not yet being done

• Rest of the maps
• Fill out the txt file

Played through first maps in pre-alpha and want to say that this wad going to be very promising. Found few defects:

map08 - texture misalign
 

map14

playing map21 now and i think I've solved starting combat puzzle (now i feel that it's great)

Played a few of the maps, and I must say all of them are really fun! In order to bring my map to the level of quality of the others, I have made some adjustments to it.

Unless someone finds other game-breaking glitches, this should be the final version.

Can be downloaded here.

Changes:

Also, I didn't like the STBAR that came with the WAD, so I made one myself. If it fits the project, I don't mind it being used.

perfect, I'll use it for the CP

I'll put in the old STBAR to separate wad as a optional addon, some people like minimalistic HUD, like me

Added lighting for the vent section.

Removed some Arch-Viles that were ruining the overall feel of the map. I find the map much more pleasing now than the way it was before.

Fixed bridge from the exit.

Some cosmetic changes to the exit.

Revamped the last fight.

Difficulty tweaks for Hurt Me Plenty.

Also, I didn't like the STBAR that came with the WAD, so I made one myself. If it fits the project, I don't mind it being used.

Playing the newer version right now and found a bug:

And a misaligned texture:

This fence is probably broken. I can't go through the lower part of it:

Also I'm disappointed you removed an arch-vile from the red key fight. It became too easy because of that imo :/

Just beat the final fight. It's better, but still a bit of a pushover. Plus you can cheese it a bit by staying in the penultimate fight area and luring all of the flying enemies inside. Also some of the arachnotrons are a bit hard to kill because projectiles collide with the geometry. I'm waving at those arachnotrons in the screenshots: https://imgbox.com/g/Q8KeAuuF8s

Also I'd suggest to crush that cyberdemon at the end. Fighting him after you've dealt with everything else is a bit sloggish.

Here is what I hope will be the final version of the map! Nightjar-v3.zip

Just beat it. Nice map, the beginning was a bit hard but once you realize you're supposed to rush for the SSG, you'll be fine. I only found one issue: there's these light columns at the beginning and they act like stairs. Consider making the lowest step of these columns impassable. Everything else was fine. I was going to say this map could use a bit more health but actually it's not that bad, especially if you save the soulsphere for emergencies.

Screenshots (literally two screenshots because I didn't find any misalignments or missing textures lol): https://imgbox.com/g/dwlgZzj9uF

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for being very silent throughout this whole project, but I have some disappointing news to share. I know that I will not be able to finish my map for the project deadline. School as well as my personal life have really gotten in the way as well as some technical issues for me and a complete dry spell in ideas for my map. I've chosen to pull out of this project for my own sake. I'm truly sorry, I really should've said something earlier but I kept insisting to myself that I wanted to finish this project, but I now realize that forcing myself to do this is just not good for me. I hope that you all are able to find someone to replace me in the project. Again, I am very sorry about this, I hope everyone will understand.

understandable, it happen to me multiple times, thanks for joining this CP, nontheless

^{I hope I don't get a "pull out" wave, since there's still a lot of people haven't finish their map yet}

I have also been silent though I'm here to say that I've been making progress. I've been busy with university this week and that will continue on for at least one more week. I can't assure the decoration will be 100% finished by the deadline, but the gameplay is mostly done at this point. I'm thinking of uploading a version of the map as soon as the gameplay is done, for people to playtest it, and add more detail as I get some feedback from others. 

I don't know if it's really that important but for the MIDI I'm using On Lockdown by Jimmy Paddock. I'm putting it out there just so it doesn't collide with someone else's music choice.

Anyway, here some screenshots: (DISCLAIMER: I no-clipped to capture the first one, so it doesn't represent what you'd actually have at that moment and place)

Good luck to all the mappers and I wish you all the best for the time that's left.

Finished my first map.

Green Waste.zip

Map name: Green Waste

Music: Infection by AD_79

Map slot: MAP07

Skill balanced: Yes

Tested on: Doom Retro, GZDoom and DSDA-Doom

Was pretty fun to do this one. I decided to take on an endurance session and finished the entire levl in a day.

We've been on thanksgiving break this week and I've had quite a bit of time to work on MAP10. There's one more area I want to finish and from there it'll just be detailing work and difficulty balancing. I'm very happy with how this has been coming along. Hopefully this will be finished by next week.

I have a backup Otex map that fits the project if you need an extra map or 2 to fill it out.

You can just ping people who didn't contribute yet to gently remind them of the project and also check the status.

I, for one, am actively working on my map now and should finish it sometime next week.

I'm still going to complete my map, health issues and other projects have been getting in the way. I'm only planning to do a large-ish cave area and then a final encounter in a smaller base across from the one you'll start in, so for what I've decided to make there's plenty of time.

Here's some -nomo screenshots:

@NinthBurn Thrilling stuff, mate. Some tough, but exhilarating fights and beautiful visuals!

@Endless You're developing quite the meanstreak, my boy. Well done, lad. Nice, tightly designed map bursting with energy and plenty to keep the player on their toes from beginning to end. ;^)

My map (slot 31) is done.

Map name: Kekboomium.

I figured since the wad is called Doomium but it is in Boom format and not in vanilla Doom format, I should capitalize on that, so I went heavy on boom-specific features and tricks.

Download here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u3kQtZqwfKSwDBTEGxmjMAObgHDThlJM/view?usp=sharing

Playtime: around 10-12 minutes to max.

Midi: "3rd eye" from Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism (transcribed by icebhm23230)

Difficulty settings are implemented and tested, don't hesitate to play on HMP or HNTR. UV is challenging, but not extremely tight, I tried to be generous with health and ammo in the harder fights.

Tested in dsda-doom 0.24.3 and in gzdoom. Gzdoom does not correctly emulate a few boom things that I use to play little tricks on the player, but those are minor, so if you absolutely prefer playing in gz, it's ok. However I recommend dsda-doom/woof/prboom+ for fully intended experience.

I'm planning to do a visual update before the 10th on December to cleanup texture alignments and maybe add some detailing, will address playtesters comments along with it (if there are any).

Have fun.

Oh, and also, I allowed myself a very slight creative freedom in terms of the secret exit look to differentiate it visually from normal exit, if that's not ok, I can change that.

Hi Fai here

Sorry For The Pin @Walter confetti @EagerBeaver @Engired @knifeworld @Spineapple tea @russin @Kuro_mahoh @Large Cat @AdNauseam @gamevoin @SharkyChip @RED77 @Codename_Delta @LPad @Astro X @TheLippyServer @RedBoule @epicyolomaster420

Just a friendly reminder, the deadline is exactly 2 weeks from now (11/26/2022 right now), So if you somehow haven't start making your map please start it now, and if you haven't got any idea yet please consult some of the map that were submitted. 

Also currently Map17 was empty due a pull off, so if you only sign up for one map please consider fulfil that slot.

Good Luck

Hello Guys, Sorry for the silence. It was some busy weeks. 
Anyways, Here's the first version of my map. I still need to change Difficult settings and choose some music, but I think the general work it's almost done. 
I'll wait for your feedback to make the best for the concept. Hope you like it!

MAP22_Out_of_hand_by_RED77_V1.wad

Um I forgot about this :P

time to whip up an otex map in like 3 days

OTEX is jarring to me personally, not at all doomy, but I will work with it

@fai1025 I'll pick up Map17 if it's still going!

Thanks for the reminder, @fai1025. I have a lot of work on my plate RN, but I'm making my levels bit by bit, so don't worry, they're gonna be ready for the 10th of December.

I'll be working on it since the other stuff i did are completed, no worries!

so I was scrolling through realm 667 and I found this 

whoever wrote this, thanks

Before I got too far into finalizing my on map, figured I would play through some of the existing submissions. To keep it easy on myself, I just played through the current alpha build, which I understand has some outdated map versions, so bear with me if my demo isn't as helpful on the older version.

lc_doomium.zip

@fai1025 @CblBOPOTKA @Womp the Cat @NinthBurn @Bloodbath Giraffe @CittyKat112 @Higo Doragon @MundyC I played maps 01, 06, 08, 11, 14, 21, 23, 25, and 32, all on UV (against my better judgement). Find your demo in the zip, then play it with the alpha build as of Nov 27 or so. I'll also provide some very brief comments on each map, though the demo probably has the most valuable info.

MAP08

• Spooky atmosphere for an action-themed wad? You did it well.
• The difficulty felt like it peaked in the very beginning, then the map just got softer as it progressed.

 

 

Thanks for the test! If I have time once I finish 17, I will make some changes to keep it tough for a while longer I didn't want to be too overbearing considering the slot but it could stand to have the intensity of the action last longer. I have some ideas already. gonna take a look at the demo now! 

The textures look fun to work with

I'm up for it if that's alright :)
