[Tristan]

Myself and AD_79 are also involved, we're aiming for a pretty much all new soundtrack for this project.

That's a really good team! Part of me feels left out.

 

This WAD is going to be amazing when it comes out... and if Plutonia 2 is an indication, hard.

or just like, Plutonia in general. Because it's Plutonia.

tbf plutonia 2 was absolutely nothing like the original plutonia

[needwax@comcast.net]

keep up the great work.

[Ludi]

So stoked for this dude!

[Shibainumaster]

I thought this would'nt happen again,ever.

[real slush59134]

Is this that bad?

[Ludi]

I suppose maybe the only reservation I have is that it is boom-compatible. It feels out-of-place considering 1 and 2 are -complevel 4. Maybe it wouldn't be so weird if it didn't aesthetically look identical to its predecessors?

[Joshy]

The project is very close to completion, with 29/32 maps completed. Map 30 and 31 are being worked on, and one map, although playable, needs detailing. I'd estimate that, realistically, the project may be ready in a couple of months.

 

I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask skilled musicians for help. We're planning for a 100% original soundtrack. We have a handful of tracks completed but there's still more to go and will need help to get there. If you'd like to help out, let me know!

 

EDIT: We've got a good number of musicians helping out now, I won't be accepting any more for the moment, thanks!

What kind of music do you need? I'd be down to make some stuff, but I'd need to see the vibe the level needs or whatever

That's it, pack it up everyone. The punch has been beaten to.

 

 

[Deadwing]

If possible and if it fits within the project, I'd like to create one or more tracks for plutonia 3 :D

Hey, neat!
Id like to help out with some tunes :)

[Wadmodder Shalton]

This feels more like the better NOT "Bootleg" sequel to Plutionia 2.

[SiFi270]

Something tells me this will be ready to play on April 1st, since that's becoming an increasingly significant date for the Plutonia series.

[needwax@comcast.net]

Are you going to add more more Plutonia megawads and Plutonia revisited community projects megawads in the future?

[gudermannian function]

What is the progress on this project's development?

[i suck at nicknames]

curious to know the progress too, ngl

[Cammy]

It was an April Fools joke all along, guys. I DM'd Joshy asking if he needed help with the wad's music and he invited me to meet him IRL at an underpass a mile outside of some podunk town in Illinois, which already raised some red flags. Still, I flew out to Chicago and drove the rest of the way to meet him. Sure enough, there he was. But when I approached him to ask where Plutonia 3 was, I didn't assess the environment carefully enough. The instant I stepped under the underpass I crossed a linedef which opened a pair of monster closets on either end of the road, and I got sandwiched and blown up by 29 revenants. Pretty uncool of Joshy to pull a trap on me like that, if you ask me. :/

so I'm guessing this project is not happening?

It actually was until you posted. The lack of faith broke joshy’s spirit and now the project is canceled.

It is happening, don't be quick to judge. All good things take time. Remember for mappers this is a hobby of sorts. The time they spend on it will depend on how much their life outside of hobby is demanding them to.  

[LadyMistDragon]

There's literally 3 maps left, although look how long Map 26 of Devilution is taking to reach a finished state....I do have a guess on why that is though.

Faceman2000, I only stated this because I read Cammy's comment saying this wad was an April Fool's joke all along which got me to believe this. I really would like to see this project happen as I've been looking forward to the project. I also got started making a map32 for this wad but haven't had enough time to make more progress on it since PRCP2 was in development.

Good things come to those who wait……

[Joshy]

We figured we should give you all a taster as a reward for waiting patiently for PL3's release and what better time to do it than on April's Fools! Here's two maps! The first one is by @tatsurd-cacocaco, and the second is a collab by @Joshy and @darkreaver. The maps are in the Map 21 and 22 slot in the teaser wad, but will occupy the Map33 and 34 slot in the main PL3 wad. They are not necessarily the final versions of the map (e.g. changes may be made to the map and/or music for the full PL3 release). There are difficulty settings for Map21 but not Map22. I've included the texture pack from PRCP2- requires Plutonia.wad and a Boom compatible source port like PRBoom+.

 

The music for the maps are:

Map21- "They Are Here" by @Deadwing (The track was composed for PL3 specifically but may be used for another map in the full release; Cammy is planning to make a track specifically for the map which will be included in the full release)

Map22- "Last Supply" by @LPad (LPad composed the track specifically for this map).

Enjoy!
