pcorf Posted February 28, 2007 A week ago I updated my Doom Page with some news of a new 32 level megawad for Doom2 named Whispers of Satan that me and Kristian Aro (the same 2 guys who made 2002ADO, Death Tormention 2, 3, etc.) have been working on since last October. A few small screenshots are avaliable. At the time of this writing 9 maps are already complete. We were initially planning to release this wad in October 2008 in honour of Doom's 15th anniversery but I believe the wad will be released whenever it's complete. * Story is set on Earth * Requires Boom-Compatible Source Port * Built in MAPINFO, DEHACKED, etc. * 32 levels, 16 maps per author * All new original music (in mus format) * Hundreds of New Textures (well, not really new. Taken from Doom1, Plutonia, etc) Please go to - geocities.com/paul33_au - to see a few small screenshots. 0 Share this post Link to post
scwiba Posted February 28, 2007 Definitely something to look forward to; I've always liked your maps. Of course, now we have to wait probably almost two years. Just a little thing, but why is there an apostrophe in the name? 0 Share this post Link to post
pcorf Posted February 28, 2007 Work on MAP07 has begun. Kristian will be making that map while I will start work on MAP06 within the next few weeks. We do not plan to release a Demo at all but hopefully in 12-15 months it shall be all done. 0 Share this post Link to post
Glassyman Posted February 28, 2007 I am sure: this will be an epic megawad! 0 Share this post Link to post
Chris Hansen Posted February 28, 2007 You two guys are one of the main reasons while we're still playing Doom! I am 100% sure that you will deliver the goods with this big project and that it will be a super cool gaming experience all the way through. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dutch Doomer Posted February 28, 2007 9 maps done allready fast progress its an two man team right, the screens look sweet another project that I look forward to :) 0 Share this post Link to post
LordK Posted March 1, 2007 printz said:Perhaps an analogy to McDonald's? McDonald's is not a plural, it's a possessive form. "Whisper's of Satan" doesn't make any sense, it ought to be "Whispers of Satan". 0 Share this post Link to post
Vile Posted March 1, 2007 I didn't get it either until I saw who started the thread. Who could forget "2002 A Doom Odyssey: You're Ticket Back to Hell." ;) Good luck, looking forward to this one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Nebula Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah it's "Whispers of Satan", not Whisper's of Satan. We are aiming for Doom's 15th birthday indeed. I almost lost all data 2 weeks ago because my laptop suffered of a complete hd crash. Luckily I had backed up all precious information on my portable hd the previous day and had sparings that allowed me to buy a new laptop quickly and continue my work on doom & music. What a close call, phew. I will dedicate all my 16 maps and my future musical work for my fiancée who has been in a hospital for 3 months because of brain damage due to a serious accident she suffered back in november. It seems that she will never recover to a normal state of consciousness. Only time will tell how well she recovers. I'm in no hurry, live one day at a time and keep my thumbs up. 0 Share this post Link to post

scwiba Posted March 1, 2007 Kid Airbag said:The only conclusion I can draw is that kids really aren't being taught grammar these days. No, they aren't. I only recall brief bits of grammar taught in the 6th, 8th, and 9th grades. I know there was more than just that, but not much. We would usually touch on grammar quickly at the beginning of the year and then head right into reading boring books like The Pearl and learning about Greek Mythology. Hardly anyone I went to school with knew much about grammar. The only reason I did was that I had taught myself on the side because I wanted to become a writer. 0 Share this post Link to post

pcorf Posted March 2, 2007 The things that Kristian has been through in his life, hmm. But this dude has such an incredible sense of creativity and intelligence and the amazing abillity to read someone elses mind at times. Meeting him in person was a huge adventure for me and meeting him again in the near future will make the adventure continue much further. He himself has a very strong mind and has taught me many lessons in the last few years. When we were creating Death Tormention 3 back in 2005, I was going through a very tough mental time in my life, but I grew better due to self belief. Apart from Doom, me and Kristian also both write electronic dance music (trance). 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Nebula Posted June 13, 2007 Some progress reporting on this... At the moment we have 13 maps done and are progressing as planned. We have no deadline but aim to release the mapset at doom's 15th birthday in 2008. A website is at planning stages and Paul should open it up in a month or two I think. There will be screenshots posted and other information on the megawad. There won't be new monsters nor new weapons. Just action-packed maps concentrating on good gameplay and good looks. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted June 15, 2007 pcorf said:A week ago I updated my Doom Page with some news of a new 32 level megawad for Doom2 named Whispers of SatanWhat about making a megawad for an advanced source port, featuring 100 levels, 10 being secret and 5 super secret, whose progression is Þ-like (main way-branched-main way again)? And also 20 new monsters, 2 new weapons and 5 new hazards? well pcorf is a productive mapper, so this could after all happen... 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Nebula Posted June 15, 2007 Yeah, why not also put all of the monsters have partial invisibility and 10000 hitpoints and use only plasma guns and rocketlaunchers. Let's also add helper players that try to tyson the level through finding nothing but brickwalls they try to walk through. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
pcorf Posted June 16, 2007 WHISPERS OF SATAN PROGRESS So far 12 Levels are fully complete, with two in progress. The website for the project is to be released eventually but I'm not sure when. Maybe in July or August. All levels are to be for Boom compatible sourceports, and works best with Zdoom because some textures/flats are animated or warped. All of the maps are going to have a fair amount of detail, but not too overdetailed (like MAP01 of Gothic99). We are not looking for any members to join, not like 2002ADO. Its mostly a two man project. Two years ago Kristian actually came up with the idea of a megawad and I agreed. We started work late last year. LEVELS BY PAUL MAP01 - Sintlabs MAP03 - Poison Sewers MAP06 - Covert Operations Facillity MAP09 - The School MAP10 - IN PROGRESS MAP12 - Blood Station MAP13 - The Wasted Dens MAP31 - Space Station Skywalker MAP32 - Schwanzlutscher LEVELS BY KRISTIAN MAP02 - The Sink MAP04 - Lost Beacon MAP05 - Pumping Station 083A MAP07 - Death Alley MAP08 - IN PROGRESS 0 Share this post Link to post

I still don't know a clue for a wad that big. Anyway, good luck with this one, it will be quite welcome to see and try and play. 0 Share this post Link to post
