SleepyVelvet Posted November 11, 2018 I only got 2 done this weekend so far... Starting to feel the burn. I'm not even spending time polishing or anything. I gotta pick up the pace again next weekend. Map08: Map09: 6 Share this post Link to post
TheOrganGrinder Posted November 11, 2018 So I'll need to spend some additional time populating the map and giving the eastern one-third of the map another aesthetic pass, but E1M4 is just a bit away from being done. Eleven days, three(-ish) maps; it's apparent that I'm not going about this in a way that'll let me turn out a full 27-map megaWAD within the month. I think I'm going to set my sights on getting a single episode finished, and anything beyond that can be a bonus. 8 Share this post Link to post
Worm318 Posted November 12, 2018 Decided to do MAP01 today. Small and simple. Spoiler 6 Share this post Link to post
elmle Posted November 12, 2018 A sudden burst of creativity: Planning to fill out the entire thing with caverns and stuff, the idea is that you are going through tunnels in the walls of a volcano. 10 Share this post Link to post
TheOrganGrinder Posted November 12, 2018 @elmle I like it! Puts me in mind somewhat of the Outer Fane section of Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, in layout and concept... 6 Share this post Link to post
elmle Posted November 12, 2018 Oh wow, that looks exactly like what I'm trying to do except I'm going for more natural cave sections. 1 Share this post Link to post

Not as many maps as I'd hoped, but I usually pick up my pace the closer we get to the 30th. 11 Share this post Link to post
Gothic Posted November 12, 2018 I've been feeling really tired lately, so I'm 2 maps behind. I might not have 30 maps ready by the end of the month, but hopefully I can reach 25 at best. After map10 you die, so it's an episodic format similar to Scythe.

Crunchynut44 Posted November 13, 2018 I'm really burning myself out because I keep making the maps too big. Oh well. 16 Share this post Link to post
TheOrganGrinder Posted November 13, 2018 @Crunchynut44, those all look fantastic. :) 2 Share this post Link to post
Terminus Posted November 13, 2018 13 days, 2 maps. I still feel myself getting faster though, so I should hopefully hit 6 or maybe 7? haha. Anyway, here's MAP01 of my map pack. 10 Share this post Link to post

I have a similar issue with my maps, but I trying to make them almost IWAD size. Anyway still working hard on it, 8 maps done (some needs minor tweaks like thing placement), 3 maps made only layouts or pieces of them and... make the other maps in 2 weeks. Well, I can say it's a good goal so far! 0 Share this post Link to post
Crunchynut44 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Would there be anyone will to make a title screen/additional graphics for me? I can't make graphics to save myself. Doesn't have to be anything flash either, anything would be better than what I can do. PM me if you're interested :) Edited November 14, 2018 by Crunchynut44 1 Share this post Link to post
FrancisT218 Posted November 14, 2018 @Crunchynut44You sure you didn't accidentally copy a certain iwad map for that second last shot? :P Anyways, just kidding, those are some of the coolest shots I've seen in this thread so far. :D 1 Share this post Link to post

That's the third episodes secret map! Hell style ;) edit: I thought you meant the last shot 2 Share this post Link to post
FrancisT218 Posted November 14, 2018 @Crunchynut44That was already a hell style map, IIRC... Taking a cue from Deathless? 0 Share this post Link to post

meapineapple Posted November 14, 2018 map #17 is mostly subterranean. it has lots of imps and zombiemen. not much to look at, just a lot of rock textures, but I think the gameplay is pretty good. 4 Share this post Link to post

TheOrganGrinder Posted November 15, 2018 Thought process: "Why don't I do E1M8 next? It'll be a change of pace, to set up a pitched battle or boss encounter rather than all these traps and ambushes and incidental encounters, and a boss arena will probably be quicker to map than a techbase maze." Also my thought process: 6 Share this post Link to post
Worm318 Posted November 15, 2018 Well I need that change of pace. My 7th map. It needs some more crate textures, also a lavafall one. But I guess I'm gonna do one of the action maps next Spoiler 6 Share this post Link to post

Swalzi Posted November 15, 2018 @Ryath I'm sorry to say, but I'm dropping out of NaNoWADmo. Reason is due to not enjoying the mapping and direction my wad is going. Good luck to everyone! 0 Share this post Link to post
