(Coming Soon!!) "Hell On Earth Shareware" Limit-Removing Levelset

[Gifty]

 

Deep, dark, brown and bloody...

 

You cleaned out the haunted moons of Mars. Passed through the door of no return. Braced yourself for cosmic uncertainty, only to find--home? No. At least, not as you left it. This place may look familiar, but the smell of fried feces and nuclear leftovers tells the truth. This brown, burned out wasteland is the UAC Texas base. Those ass-faced bloodsuckers from Hell have followed you back. DOOM begins again, and this time...

                                                                                                   ...Well, obviously, it's personal.

+==============DESCRIPTION================+

 

HOE Shareware is my attempt to imagine what a DOOM II shareware

episode would have looked like, had the sequel followed a more traditional
chapter-based style. I tried not to make a DTWID-style factually accurate

variant of DOOM II, but more a cloudy miasma of the DOOM II I always saw

in my head based on back-of-the-box description and strategy guide flavor text.

Also, on release H.O.E.S.W. (whew) will include a mood-setting thrash metal

soundtrack composed by me, similar to the Sigil SHREDS addon WAD.

 

Coming soon to an imaginary electronics store near you!

Sweet! When will the full version be out? :P

Any estimate on release? This sounds like a fun little map set.

I only have one map left to finish before I do a general polishing/balance pass, then it's off to public beta!

You had me at this.

@Gifty Sounds great! If you're looking for any playtesting just shoot me a message. Thanks for the quick response.

The texture wad I had for this levelset used to be called Hell On Earth Assets, or... HOEASS

[akhlq]

I, for one, highly appreciate the map names. Interesting concept, too. Looking forward!

[General Rainbow Bacon]

HOEASS.  Classic.  But probably don't want to google search it at work.  I hope they make the Back to Saturn X texture wad BTSXASS so I can use HOEASS and BTSXASS together.

Is there any DEHACKED? I hope not, so that it can be played with SMOOTHED (Smooth monsters for Doom Retro and Crispy Doom) and Black Ops smooth weapons DEHACKED mod.

Currently it's planned to have a DEHACKED for a couple minor changes I won't spoil here.

 

ALSO:

Progress on the final map is going smoothly, so it's reasonable to expect that we'll be in beta testing soon! To commemorate, here's a screenshot of the WIP final level showing off the new custom HUD.

 

AND, to get you pumped up, here's a scintillating rough mix of one of the songs in the bundled soundtrack (don't worry, that awful solo is gonna go). Enjoy!

So glad to see this update. This is looking like a great episode. Can't wait for the beta!

Interesting idea. Sounds great.

Looks epic! It's cool seeing some of my textures are being used in a project.
