ANOMALY (WAD)- Out now! -see last post-

[Lone2401]

It's been a while since the last playable iteration of Anomaly so I'm releasing this new demo. This demo has updated versions of the maps from the last demo, as well as MAP04, a new weapon,  a new powerup, and more interactive environments. Happy holidays Doomworld!

This is a 3 map demo of ANOMALY, my first multi-map WAD.

 

I plan to make 9 levels in the structure of an Ultimate Doom episode, 8 normal maps and 1 secret level.

 

Made for GZdoom, jumping and freelook are required.

 

Custom music composed by a friend will be included in the final version.

Just played through the demo and I very much enjoyed it. Solid levels with neat secrets and good progression. I particularly liked the cctv screens in the last map. They didn't have any business looking as crisp and clear as they did. I'll admit I did get lost once on that level, but that was probably my own fault. Definitely looking forward to playing more! The screenshots you've posted of e1m4 makes it look like a distinct turn from the last few maps. That was a reasonably innocent looking portal to hell in e1m3.

MAP04 isn't set in Hell, but rather it's a Shores of Hell style level set on Earth. The screenshot doesn't do it justice but that's the only presentable part of the map at the moment.

Fair enough. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

More screenies!

Testing out destructible environments, this being a breakable glass floor.

More interactive environments- pushable/shootable crates.

That is a very resilient crate :)

Sure is! I considered making them breakable but it would have made some secrets impossible.

[Lone2401]

MAP06, this wad's introduction to Hell, is nearing completion.

[Neanderdave]

Very impressive so far. Keep it up man, looks great.

[Arrowhead]

This looks phenomenal thus far. I'll be keeping an eye on it!

@LoneAlpha2401 Jesus how did you even made this.This looks great btw.

[Lone2401]

@Finnthemapmaker Thanks! That's just the magic of ZDoom.

[Lone2401]

Redesigned Map04 as I didn't like how it looked.

 

[Lone2401]

Well, it's been a while since the last update, so here's some screenshots.

This looks fantastic! Unfortunately, I keep getting this error whenever I try to run the demo:

Very cool :)

@kknot5889 Looks like you're using an old version of GZdoom. The new demo utilizes features only available in the newest version.

Gotcha. I'll grab the new version and check it out.

[Lone2401]

Development on ANOMALY has been put on hold until further notice.

[Lone2401]

Sorry about the long delay, I don't have anything new to show. Sadly the music pack will either be canceled or released late.

 

EDIT: I truly apologize for the extreme delay, I only have to make 1 more map. I've just been struggling to stay motivated.

 

EDIT 2: I've been having some bad mapper's block. I promise the WAD will be finished by the end of this month.

 

EDIT 3: ANOMALY has been released!
