"Half Moon" Official Release! 64 Community Speed Maps! (Now on idgames!)

"Half-Moon"

 

What lies behind the Moon,

The view we never see,

Is a mystery for all eternity,

There are answers to questions,

No man should ever know,

And most curious of all,

What lies behind Luna's glow?

 

What's that? You want maps? Well look no further! How about 64 of them?

"Half-Moon" is another incredible Doomworld Speedmap project and the official sequel to "Tenth Gear". Where "Tenth Gear" was a 10 minute challenge, this one decided to take the idea to the extreme with a 30 minute time limit. With the time stacked against us once more, we carried on and created an absolute monster. The maps in this project filled up so quickly within the first few days of it's beginnings that it was decided to make it what some have coined a "Gigawad" two 32 sets of 64 maps total! Let's hope you have nothing going on for a while huh? "Half Moon" is an incredible showcase of talent and passion for WAD editing. This compilation contains pieces ranging from some of the most veteran and legendary mappers to the newest of the newcomers!

 

There were many challenges and obstacles to overcome in making the final release happen and I can't thank the community enough for pulling together and helping put this beast together properly. You guys are the greatest online community ever and I couldn't have done this without all of you!

 

Special thanks to @Engired, @El Inferno @1Destro3456, @Swalzi @Fiendish and @MAN_WITH_GUN for fixing ALOT of the issues this project had in beta release. You guys are awesome!

[Engired]

It'll be interesting to see what you think of these maps! Especially map 30 part 2

[Chainie]

Seems like you keep ignoring fixed version of my hellish map for the project. This is the third time, i posting it:
Half-moon part1 map21 fix:

[El Inferno]

Here's a fixed version. Thought someone said that they had fixed that: Half moon.zip

[Lippeth]

Congrats on the release, I just now downloaded, looking forward to the experience!

[El Inferno]

Just played through part 2, my favourites were map 6 by @Aurelius (one of the harder maps of the set!), map 7 by @MidnightMage, map 22 by @Crock Wilson, map 25 by @Repugnus and map 26 by @Fiendish. Good stuff! Map order is not exactly perfect but thats not a big deal.

I think if we waited any longer to finish part 2 people would start to get pretty bored. Not that map order makes too much of a difference, especially in a part 2.

[Somniac]

Glad to see it finally got done! Gonna enjoy playing through all that. 64 maps, epic.

[El Inferno]

Recorded a demo for the final map (spoilers!):

Video quality is a bit shit, sorry about that.

 

[ignatiOS]

Good job on the release!

Cant wait to download it :D

[Repugnus]

Hell yeah, I was looking forward to the final release to play through. Good to see everything worked out in the end.

[KubaloBlackMT]

Very good, I can conclude so-far from my first playthrough of part 2 that my map is still the worst one lol. Anyways thanks for putting me in it, I mean I expected that but still thanks cause I like to see my name on contributors lists.

[1Destro3456]

Awesome! Will try to make videos for this but I’m not promising anything soon or anything at all 

[Walter confetti]

Congrats for the release!

[Crock Wilson]

Sweet! I'm gonna play at least part one tonight. 

[Somniac]

So @Dubbag, what's next? One hour speedmaps? One day perhaps? Lol

 

This could make a cool little monthly group project theme maybe

[Engired]

5 minute maps?

actually I was thinking of Hosting a 1 hour project and calling it "Full moon". But it would only be 1 WAD and with vanilla textures only.

Edited May 2, 2021 by Dubbag

[Dubbag]

if i keep the rules to having vanilla textures only, then I could compile it myself no problem. As it stands right now, I'm going to take a break from projects to focus on the show. But in a few weeks I will be starting it up.

[Somniac]

Vanilla textures only would be a cool limitation actually. I'll be looking out for that!
