THAT'S A WRAP!

 

Right, now I've gotta figure out what to do with 60 maps.

 

Fuck.

[ShadesMaster]

One last map, wanted to submit this in time for the deadline so the ending is rushed. I can resubmit if I get another hour with a more fleshed-out end, tho!

Holy shit, this is the 2nd comunity project I have seen with the most ammount of map submissions, the other one I can think is Push.

Sorry if I'm 13 minutes late. It still needs a bit of testing and tweaking I think. I hope it's okay.

I think the largest number I've seen is DUMP3 with a whopping 73 (+6 maps that weren't quality enough and were relegated to "secret" instead, so really 79). This is approaching that for sure.

Fuck.

 

What I'd do is arrange them by theme, amount of monsters, see which maps have more cyberdemons, etc. Could have the main 32 map megawad (MAP01-MAP32) followed by a 28 map episode (MAP33 to MAP60). Or two separate 30 map megawads with no secret levels.

[leodoom85]

I had some fun doing a map for this one project...so...
I managed to do it before the deadline happened. It has all difficulties. Music is "Slime Dweller" by none other than Jimmy.

And some shots incoming...

 

[ShadesMaster]

Fixed up the final area of the map, and other things. Final version!!!! Proper post updated as well.

I'd just do 2 x 30 map episodes / no secret levels. But that's entirely Jimmy's decision on this crazy number of maps.

 

I think there's more than 60 maps now lol

Split them into at least 2 wads, just like the case of Final DOOM with Plutonia and TNT. (Yeah, I know this needs 4 more maps to fit into 64 maps, but I'm not so sure if this is meant to be a megawad either.)

[Zylinderkatze]

Congrats everyone on participating and cranking out so many different and diverse maps on this unifying (if socially distancing) subject!

 

Thank you @Jimmy for starting the project. It was a lot of fun to take part in it and I hope that you'll have fun putting all the levels together. Can't wait to play them all!

 

[Jimmy]

Alrighty, I've let enough submissions come through to bring us up to 64 maps. Expect two new megawads to come out of this thread some time soon.

 

I'm probably going to do a little bit of administrative override on the names of a few submissions.

 

@MaishyN's and @Sankhatayan's maps both have the words "subterranean" and "facility" in their title so I will be renaming them like so:

MaishyN's map will be called Facility Lockdown.

Sankhatayan's map will be called Subterranean Processing.

 

And to name @DynamiteKaitorn's submission myself, I will be calling it Into the Infection.

 

Hope this is fine by everyone!

To quote me from earlier:

 

EDIT:

I decided on a name.

 

"Get down with the sickness!"

 

Sorry if you missed the edit. XD

Unironically stoked.

[MaishyN]

@Jimmy That's great for me. It was quite a surprise to see another name with two same words submitted a bit later:). If I saw another map with similar name posted earlier, I'd think about something else.

[an_mutt]

Apologies for the lateness, I've been feeling unwell (it's not Corona I swear!)

Build time: 12 hours

Music is the Forest Temple theme from Zelda: Ocarina of Time

It's a biggie, inspired by Darkwave0000's earlier maps from Speed of Doom. Good luck!

[leodoom85]

I'm quite hyped to play BOTH megawads and record them, of course...for the greater good.

[Philnemba]

Looking forward to playing both megawads :)

[Big Ol Billy]

Looks like we've got a megamegawad on our hands, folks.

 

Happy compiling, Jimmy, thanks for putting this together and hope the number of submissions isn't too overwhelming!

[TheOrganGrinder]

Kudos to @Jimmy for organising all of this and I look forward to seeing the resulting WADs.

[Phobus]

64+ maps, eh? I believe the term I coined for this many moons ago was "hyperWAD". Congratulations @Jimmy, you've spearheaded one. UMAPINFO and one glorious package would be the true winning combination, but I appreciate that kind of limits your ports :P

[plums]

You can put the late-comers in MAP33-35, and cap it at 70 maps.

How about a caco sprite edit?

 

(Standard palette on the left, isopal on the right)

 

The recolor is super-easy to do and can be tweaked a bit further if desired, adding the nubs on the horns to turn them into peplomers is more effort but can still be done relatively quickly.

 

 

 

[MaishyN]

@Gez The caco sprites looks pretty cool. I really like the idea. However, my opinion is that editing caco sprites in the whole wad may have unexpectedly high impact on the overall feel of the mapset (can't say if good or bad - it may be good if done perfectly but improving shape of such a masterpiece as caco is not an easy task).

It would also be preferable if mappers would know about reskinned monster before doing their mapping as it may affect look of some areas (i.e. a red themed area would look different with a ton of green caco meat on the ground than the orginal).

It may look like I'm doing some nitpicking but as a mapper I strongly believe that color composition of what the player is seeing is pretty important.

ISOPAL desaturates everything except the greens and blues. A red-themed area is going to be a gray-themed area.

Doesn't change the fact that it changes the look from what the author may have originally intended.
