Plutonia Revisited: Community Project 2 (Boom-compatible)- Final Version Released! **IDGAMES LINK UP**

[A.o.D.]

All I care about is this:  Is map 11 an Archvile map?

[General Rainbow Bacon]

I actually think it would be funny if it's an earlier map and the compiler doesn't tell us.  

 

E: Actually even better would be that the maps are shuffled at the end and we don't know which ones end up in which slot.  That'd mess with us.

[riderr3]

@Joshy I've done with my map.

Please, create night plutonia style levels) 

[Joshy]

@General Rainbow Bacon Played Sting Operation, I liked it, classic layout and punchy. Texturing just needs a little bit of tidying up. I do wonder if it needs just a littttle bit more health? I only found the Soulsphere secret and that felt like a huge relief. But it may make the secrets feel less special, so I'm not sure. Also, the chaingunner ledges should have monster block or impassible lines so they don't get shot off.

 

@Cheesewheel Played Ironclad, I liked it. This is a pretty solid map all round but it is also very brutal and will need further health/armor tweaking. The amount of chaingunners and the wide exposed layout makes the gameplay potentially frustrating, even if they get some early secrets, so I'd up the amount of health and armor for sure so there's room for some mistakes. Ammo balance felt fine. Love the layout, it has a nice flow, nice job!

 

@cannonball Played Oceania, this is a sweet map, nicely done! Can't think of anything that needs changing, and indeed would do nicely as an early E1 map.

 

@riderr3 Played Decayed Redoubt, sweet map! Liked the layout and nicely mixed gameplay. Theme feels original, has a nice classic feel that's like Plutonia but reskinned, nice job!

Very short for a Map08, still WIP.

Finally was able to login yesterday but forgot to post this. Was intending for this to be a collab and @Archi has agreed to finish it for me so expect a bigger update soon. No name, midi, or mapslot decided yet, but layout is done. Originally was inspired by the Joshy map in PRCP.

Okay some feedback

 

"Decayed redoubt" by riderr3

This was quite lengthy, considering the low monster count. Some threats here and there but no deaths for me. This felt solid enough with emphasis more on atmosphere rather than full on upfront combat. I liked this one.

 

The Nightmare after Christmas by AvadaKedavraWithQuadDamage

This one looks nice, but ultimately it is a straightforward fight to the finish with light incidental combat and a more cramped ending with a completely different theme. The initial area needs more fleshing out, take the skeletal structure and try and make more from it by branching areas off, making some objectives like a key to unlock the exit fight. 

 

Ironclad by Cheesewheel

I must admit that this felt a little too unforgiving for me. I think this needs something to give the player a better chance of getting a foothold. I will however play this again at some point to see if I can have a better effort at beating this. It looks and feels great and layout is strong.

 

[Cheesewheel]

Updated Ironclad.

 

- More Health+Armour

- Secret Exit

- Removed some chaingunners in final arena.

- Implemented difficulty settings.

Fiend, a small map that starts as a simple jungle base and becomes, well, I don't want to spoil it. It uses a midi of Black Sabbath's The Wizard.

[General Rainbow Bacon]

Here's a new version of "Sting Operation"

So the cyber on the second screen just hides the switch. I've seen monsters being used like that in some wads but they commonly were hellknights or barons(worse case) 

Here you ascend the rocky pillars and quickly kill the shotguys what takes not many time to do, but when it comes to down the much times beefier cyber, the player would've become bored to kill it, especially if without BFG

So my advice is to replace shotguys with knights and the cyber with baron so that they won't infight and the change of beefyness between knight and baron is significantly less than the one between the shotguy and cyber. Imho cyber holding the place with one switch is somewhat boring, but the baron is ok

I don't really want to get rid of the Cyberdemon, but since there's enough shotgun ammo in the fortress, maybe I could change the shotgunners to be hellknights, since I really don't want to get rid of the Cyberdemon.

Slayers, always remember to save your wad.

Fuck.

[Captain Toenail]

Here's my map. It's a non-linear, early Earth Base theme. It's a bit longer than 10 minutes, I hope you don't mind.

Difficulty settings are not implemented yet, it's on the to-do list.

 

Included in the zip is a modified version of the texture wad containing a handful of new textures (because I had to edit the ANIMATED lump). Please run the wad with this instead.

You could also replace the shotgunners with Barons. They are strong enough to withstand a few Cyberdemon rockets and they will weaken the Cyberdemon so it can be taken down easier by the player.

[The_SloVinator]

Changelog:

- Blue key was placed where super shotgun was before, so that way, players will notice the switch's purpose much easier now.
-- Super shotgun is accessible faster now.

- 'Block monster' flag was added to enemies that previously fell into inaccessible areas for boom format.

- Some minor changes, like added a bit more ammo, texture offsets & other very miscellaneous stuff.

 

=============

 

Posting this here to get more feedback on my map.

 

Some info:
- Map name: The Church of Pollution
- Boom actions included
- Diffculty & coop: YES
- Slot: MAP 04

Hopefully, you guys enjoy it. Feedback is welcome, obviously!

I noticed the texture error at the big arena with the skybox, also, detailing is yet to be finished

Layout and gameplay for every difficulty implemented

MP settings yet not implemented

Music: Alice In Chains - Dam That River

Some issues around gameplay are getting fixed right now but feel free to spot everything uncommon you see.  

[AconyX]

Possibly going to whole wrong direction.

This is better but there should be a soulsphere at the beginning at least to make it less frustrating (I can only manage the start by grabbing the secret megaarmor which isn't ideal). Health goes in a matter of seconds so having a soulsphere would help add a few more seconds playroom for those playing blind without the megaarmor

[NuMetalManiak]

Here is the finished collab now.

 

Spoiler

Title: Never Safe, Always Sorry (working title)
Author: NuMetalManiak & Archi

Music: Sewer Slide by Stewboy

No slot decided yet but it does have a secret exit in case it gets put into MAP15/MAP31. If not it can be a BFG9000 secret. Difficulty settings fully implemented. I made main hub layout + most of the spokes while Archi did some extra design + optional areas.

[Omniarch]

This may sound a bit... daft, but I'm not really sure what makes a map 'Plutonic'. Over the last couple of weeks, I have been binging my way through not just the original Plutonia, but also Plutonia 2 and the original PRCP, along with a few Urania levels (though that wad is a little out of my league at the moment, on UV anyway). Before then, I never really understood the appeal of the 'Plutonic style', since I had a hard time getting past even the first three levels of the original IWAD due to frustration. Now, after conquering many of the sub-genre's worst and probably exhausting half my brain's supply of dopamine in the process, I get it, but I am not entirely sure what it is that I 'get'.

 

Sure, there are a number of visual genres that are distinctive to Plutonia and its progeny (I've counted ten so far), and sure I know most maps in that lineage prioritize combat over exploration or atmosphere, but that doesn't really answer my question.

 

So, in essence, what is it that makes a map 'Plutonic'? @Joshy and @riderr3, as the resident masters of the Plutonic arts, what do you think?

[sincity2100]

My WIP of my Map that I called : Hate Machine , Now I'm thinking what to do next with the map..

 

 

[NeedHealth]

 

Probably going to finish this.

[Kyukon]

WiP of this level.  I'm honestly not sure if it's Plutonia enough, but maybe some feedback will help that when I get the first draft done. 

 

[Cheesewheel]

Ironclad v1.2.zip

-Soulsphere at start of map.

-Moved chaingun and Green Armour closer to player at start.

-Stimpacks in starting room.

[NeedHealth]

Not certain either if my map is plutonia enough. It has some similarities with the later larger plutonia maps, on a smaller scale.

[Nefelibeta]

1)Fixed the MIDGRATE problem

2)Made the beginning area less BS

3)Removed unnecessary enemies and decreased the difficulty

 

Probably the final version ;D
