There Goes my map...
for slot 24
Name: The corrupted pyramid
format: UMDF
Music: "Chozo guide" from Metroid zero mission (Intruduction) and "Spray" from ROTT (during the fight)
Resources: textures from Epic2, AV, and CC4 texture pack (Credit for their original creators)
Known bugs. the "spikes" sometimes don't hurt the player (it has a small chance, any suggestion would be good to solve that)

DL: HERE

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with other stuff.

 

Quite a fun map! I'd say it's a little easy (on HMP at least) but other than that I think this works quite well. Will be adding to the master WAD now.

new years bump. was wondering if there's any updates with this. if i have time, i could try a map or two (but that won't be for a few months - and i'd have to learn how to map first).

Well the project's still going for those interested. Think that's all the update needed.

 

And thanks for considering making a map! Looking forward to seeing it when it's done.

Yeah, me too...

Since i have finally some time for this, i'd like to claim MAP04 if possible...

Sure thing.

Right. Putting you on the list.

Please clear my slot. I am unable to deliver a map due to computer problems.

That's fine.

Here are some potential ideas for the secret levels for anyone looking for inspiration:

 

Secret Level 31: Catacombs Icon of Sin

Secret Level 32: Wolfenstein 3D Icon of Sin or Commander Keen Icon of Sin

That's what I was actually making, lol.

I feel this is kind of a mixture between a suggestion and a question:

The question is, does the IoS necessarily have to be killed by rockets?

If not, then would it be encouraged to kill the IoS through other, more creative means? Some ideas:
-flipping a switch (or sequence of switches) to activate a crusher for the boss brain (Equinox MAP04 came to mind when destroying an entire warehouse of "demon embryos")
-telefragging the boss brain or teleporting on top of an explosive barrel to create a sort of "chain reaction" (Epic 2 MAP20 comes to mind)

-forcing a mid- or high-tier monster to damage the boss brain, as they will be the only one that can be able to damage the IoS
-any other ideas that may come to mind

[Darch]

My map is exactly your third idea. I think this project will be way more interesting if we kill IOS in creative ways, like Cyberdreams

Killing with a rocket is not a requirement. In fact, creative ways to create the IoS to enhance gameplay, including its death, are actively encouraged for this project.

if anyone wants to use a resource I coded (GZDoom)

 

 

 

It's a mod that turns the Icon into a telefragging machine. Place tons of spawners, and tons of targets because no monsters spawn. The purpose is to telefrag you! And,, it works with spawners too!

I think there should be a discord for this project but I don't know I could set that up

Map 30 Icon of Terrywad

nah I'm thinking of calling it "icons core" or "father of all icons"

[Terrcraft]

hello I have an issue what I want to do at the start of map30 was you walking into a giant IOC I don't know how to do that so it wondering if doing what I want to do with base DOOM2 textures is possible or not.

 

this screenshot is of what I plan to have for the exposed brain area

GZDoom-supporting editors let you scale textures and flats.

For the Ultimate Final Icon of Sin map looks very average.
