The Doom Master Wadazine #12 - Feat. Insane_Gazebo, Skillsaw, Heartland & Lullaby articles, Then and Now of Doom 64, Console Doom Chronicles 2 and WAD Recommendations!

[Endless]

 

Welcome to another edition of the Doom Master Wadazine, your favorite (and only) online magazine fully dedicated to the best FPS ever, Doom! Here you will find all kinds of articles, recommendations and different stories, as well as fascinating reviews and fun sections. This time we bring you a few interviews as well as a bunch of recommendations. Unfortunately, this month has been a slow one and this magazine won't have as much content as the previous ones, but we still hope you enjoy it. We have worked hard and have thrown as much effort as passion into this issue. Things get hot but we're still just as cool! We hope you enjoy it and that this guide becomes your #1 companion in your experience through the world of Doom.

Always happy to have you in <3

[Remilia Scarlet]

Woo hoo! Glad to see another issue released!

[KeaganDunn]

Oh, skillsaw...I don't doubt you just made another good pun here. XD

 

Great job covering the two greatest releases this year, along with the interviews. Great stuff in here.

[Arrowhead]

Great job, Endless, and to all others involved. Always glad to see a new issue! :)

[roadworx]

yay :))

 

these are seriously super high-quality, you're all doing a fantastic job with this

[TheNoob_Gamer]

Feel great to return writing for the Wadazine :) I hope everyone enjoy the issue!

[Endless]

Thanks everyone! Hope you guys enjoy this issue. Next one is coming bigger, I hope ;)

[Wavy]

Hey everyone. If you're reading Console Doom Chronicles 2, I just want to add that I was the one who found the unused song "Hiding the Secrets" in GBA Doom and was the one who worked on the recent Doom GBA: Delta ROM hack (the bottom image in the Wadazine article is actually E4M2 from my Delta episode 4 hack).

Check it out!

 

And by the way, good work to everyone who worked on the Wadazine. You all rock!

[Origamyde]

Excellent stuff, guys ! :O

[taufan99]

Great job, everybody! Apologies for no contribution as of now, since college stuff is still on the way.

I have updated the archive.org entry, adding both last month's and this month's issues.

[Doom_Dude]

Most excellent! Just in time for Saturday morning coffee. XD

[1Destro3456]

Finally! The issue is out, time to read, I guess

[Misty]

Congratulations with new wadazine release, those are always treat to see and read! 

[Final Verdict]

Excellent work @Endless and fantastic contributions from everyone involved.

 

I haven't missed an issue yet, well except for the 6 month hiatus (not my choice, lost my left eye). Guess what I did the moment I came back? Catch up on Wadazine issues. I must have spent 3 hours doing that back in march.

 

The Wadazine has come along way since issue 1.

 

 

[Roebloz]

This was a really fun article to make. Next up: I dunno which port.

He lost his left eye.

Thanks a lot for the second place! Funnily enough, I tried to tone down map 5 but I guess that didn't work too well lol

You should do either Jaguar or 3DO. Probably 3DO as that has an entire legacy as one of the worst yet most intriguing port of Doom.

[TheGreenZap]

It’s great to see a new issue! You do an excellent job on the magazine. I’m interested in everything in it including the ads.

Thank you for including a screenshot of my map in the gallery, I was happy to see it!

Doomshack only goes up to Wadazine 10, Chris Hansen's page goes to 11, but only Ryath's contains all twelve issues.

He explained all that here.

Thanks Gez, I appreciate it.

 

I really didn't want to get into it again on account of how long it takes to explain it all. Especially on a Wadazine thread, once was enough.

 

@Roebloz, I chose not to respond because I didn't want to make a big deal of it. But just so I don't come across like an ignorant prick: I appreciate the concern. Thanks.

 

[Steveb1000]

Great read!

 

Really enjoyed the interviews with Insane_Gazebo and Skillsaw, would appreciate seeing more and longer interviews with mappers.

 

I'm also really interested in the d2all runners, such crazy determination and achievements. Would appreciate a future feature on them if it can be done 

[LadyMistDragon]

I come here from finishing Map 22 of Doom 64 to find this! Woo-hoo!

[Fluffyslayer]

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

i didnt know this type of awesome shit existed!!!!

 

:]]]]]]]]]]

[ENEMY!!!]

I really like these, they remind me of both the Newstuff Chronicles and the old articles on Doom that we used to get in PC gaming magazines in the 1990s, with lots of great features all rolled into one.

 

Interesting that The Darkening 2 is discussed: I only recently discovered that and remember discussing about how it contains many early versions of OTEX textures.

[KeaganDunn]

I just NOW noticed the review on my Bloodbath mapset - I greatly appreciate everybody who's been playing through it, whether the gameplay is your cup of tea or not. :) Great job on the review, too, I did not expect the set to be listed as one of the "Omnipotents".

 

Thanks a lot, everyone!

 

Spoiler

Now to upload Detrimental to idgames and see what kind of review that gets. lmao

I'd wanted to cover it because I remembered that one of the maps had been covered in the Doomworld top 100 maps list, and wanted to give the whole WAD a go. Well worth a play, for sure! and also quite interesting to see so many textures that had been brought back into OTEX.

[Yumheart]

I'm proud to have my combat officially declared as not circlestrafing bullshit lol ^ w^

 

... also great job on the new release and thanks to everyone who worked on it ofc!
