Chief Smokey Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Unfamiliar is a mapping project based around re-imagining the original Doom's maps. Some maps are quickly discernible and others have been reworked extensively to the point of only having a handful of recognizable areas. Maps are designed for standalone gameplay, both continuous or pistol starting. Play with GZDoom and the Doom II iwad. Use the hardware renderer, dynamic lights, bloom and the sector light mode set to "Dark" or "Doom" for the best experience. There are two versions available - Ultimate Edition and Classic Edition. Related links:ZDoom Forums Thread Author's Discord Server Ultimate Edition makes heavy use of GZDoom's special effects to enhance the visual quality of the environments. There are four episodes - Martian Fury, Frontier of Death, Circles of Hell and The Eternal Everglade. ULTIMATE EDITION Download: Mediafire Google Drive Classic Edition is more in the vein of traditional Doom mapping and uses entirely vanilla assets (bar the title screen graphics). It is based on a beta build of the mod from 2018 and contains three Episodes - The Martian Massacre, The Corrupted Colony and The Demonic Domain.CLASSIC EDITION Download Mediafire Google Drive Edited December 24, 2022 by Chief Smokey 51 Share this post Link to post
Misty Posted December 31, 2018 I don't recommend use XWE, it can easily corrupt your wad beyond repair and it wasn't updated for almost 10 years. Use Slade, it received updates not so long time ago. I'll give run at some point. 7 Share this post Link to post
Juza Posted December 31, 2018 Looks extremely creative. Love it. Will give it a try later. You should specify its format and what sourceports it is compatible with. 1 Share this post Link to post

Bryan T Posted February 20, 2019 I can't get through the first level. I got the blue key, followed the doors which led me outside with the 6 big doors. I killed the guys out there but nothing happens after that. I ran all around the level 3 times and nothing. 0 Share this post Link to post

The exit is roughly where the original E1M1 exit is. Go through the nukage room, through the explosive barrel room and then you're at the tram station (with an exit sign): The blue card leads to optional areas that reward you with goodies to help out later in the episode and also open up shortcuts to different areas of the map.

Bryan T Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Alright thanks. Somehow I missed the door to the nukage room. The level is so damn detailed and with all the doors that don't open it's easy to get lost. I certainly appreciate the time spent detailing the levels but the cramped and switch hunt gameplay kills it for me. I managed to trek through the first episode but was pretty bored with what seemed like playing the same level over and over. I hoped ep2 would be a change of pace but it's more of the same. Cramped and a labyrinth with dozens of dead ends. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oreoOoyMleA Edited February 22, 2019 by Bryan T 0 Share this post Link to post
Chief Smokey Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) So after a University-induced hiatus and a new PC I've restarted work. Custom textures and GZDoom lighting ahoy! Next release (V1.4) will happen once all of Episode 1 has been overhauled with new textures. Edited June 29, 2019 by fart_sound_effect.wav : cleanup 5 Share this post Link to post

Can't really download it That'll be fixed when 1.4 drops. It's not really worth playing a soon-to-be-outdated version at this stage. However there is a rough 1.3.5 version on the Discord if you really want to see how things are shaping up. 0 Share this post Link to post
CrocketRocket Posted June 11, 2019 Thank for the clarification I'll gladly wait for the 1.4 version 0 Share this post Link to post

Chief Smokey Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Good news, 1.4 is going to be released soon! Members of the Discord server will be able to playtest 1.3.75 before the final release here. Thanks for all of the support! Edited June 29, 2019 by fart_sound_effect.wav : cleanup 2 Share this post Link to post
Chief Smokey Posted June 22, 2019 Well it seems 1.4 is going to be delayed slightly since I've decided to move the .wad from Doom2 format to UDMF format. That way I'll have more tools to work with. Reworking the maps to suit the new format shouldn't take too long since all of the textures and entities have copied over without a problem. Stay tuned! 0 Share this post Link to post
