Anyone wanna make a megawad with me?

[Tactical Burger (Old acc)]

So im working on this megawad called GRAVED i currently have made 3 levels and i am hoping to make 30 but it will take ages to do it alone. i want to make 10 tech base maps 10 city/mixed maps and 10 hell maps. if you want to do this just add me on discord and we can begin. I might need some help but im pretty good at map making. 

 

What i need: someone who has made wads before and min 1 person to help me with making the wads.

You’re not very good at math, are you?

If you want people to map with you, you need to show them screenshots of your maps so they can see your skills. Preferably of the three maps you mentioned in the OP.

It's good to have an outline for whatever concept / story you want to do in your wad, as well as screenshots. That way people have an idea of what you want to create. 

 

Also the best way to get someone to join is to build relationships with people here. Then, when you're friends, you can say "hey I got this was idea" and get them to help you.

I'm willing to help you map!

 

Yet I don't know if doing an entire megawad is the best thing for you to do now. How about make a short episode, of 5-8 maps? If you want help mapping, let me know :)

Like Dust said, you need an actual project pitch.
 

What makes your project unique to currently running ones.
What are the rules, Its best if you get a set of rules for a project.
Take a look at this thread for tips.

Look at other Community Projects and see how they do it for inspiration.

I sure will! Tough for the tech bases thing, I'd rather use some assets from Realm667. I recommend for tech bases this: https://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/texture-stock-mainmenu-152-97360/doom-style-mainmenu-153-87237#preview-29

And these textures seem good enough for city maps: 

https://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/texture-stock-mainmenu-152-97360/doom-style-mainmenu-153-87237#preview-11

And if you want me to help you on discord, my name is RetroGames (I won't say the tag due to privacy) but, I might be there in the friend requests, waiting for you to respond :) 

I'll make a few maps, but I might take a bit since I'm busy doing other shit. I'll (hopefully) start tomorrow.

 

PS: im sick, and because of such I need to do school work and homework too, meaning ill maybe be probably the last(est) in making the maps

You just didn't read correctly he said 10 tech bases maps, 10 city maps, and 10 hell maps so that's 10+10+10 and it equals 30

[RetroAkaMe]

Also, what is the map format?

He edited the post, mate. Notice how in my quote it says fifteen each time? That’s cuz that’s what his original post said.

I could try helping you. I can make some custom textures if you'd like. Tho i don't have a discord so i hope you're okay with messaging on doomworld.

Do not try to sprint before you can crawl. Ambition is good but it needs to be tempered with a bit of reality. You are clearly just getting started, and you need to hone your skills. No one is good right away. It takes time, practice and effort just like your music. Focus on making a few good single maps, release those, get feedback, refine your skills, then maybe look at taking on a MegaWAD.

When someone says their "first wad" it might not be. I, myself made a few things without uploading them until I actually uploaded my "first wad". On Doomworld, at least.

Yes, but it is pretty clear from the screenshots he is just getting started. I am not trying to discourage the guy here, I am just trying to direct his energies in a more logical manner. Building a megawad is a big undertaking even for experienced mappers.

im not gonna use custom textures and i really recommend getting discord its free. i made a group there for updates and development.

I would love to help but am working on 3 projects already. Plus I think a megawad is a bit too big. I suggest you do an episode 8-9 maps and I can be your playtester and help out here and there if I find a problem or get an idea that would fit into a map.

You can share me the discord and we can talk further there.

Do you have any particular idea of how you want the wad structured? I haven't made many wads before however I am currently working on one that could make for a good opener and knowing what comes after could help speed up the mapping process (happy to provide you with pics of it on discord if you're interested)

I won’t be able to assist but I wanted to say that I really like your city landscapes in these screenshots. Very vanilla-esque. I also like your hell areas, but they look fairly unchallenging. The first shot looks like it could use a whole lot more imps and demons, while the second could use some more former humans along those ledges.

He's kinda changed stuff since then. Right now the focus is tech bases 🙂👍
