[/idgames]A speed slaughtermap project: Capybara

[Nefelibeta]

                                                                                      

 

Capybara is a 22-level Boom-compatible (cl9)"speed slaughtermap" community project, consisting bizzare visual designs, unconventional combat designs and some challenging slaughtery gameplay. In this project everybody needs to finish making the maps within 24 hours and only have 4 days to work on them, note that this is not a strict rule.

Majority of the maps are playtested with DSDA-Doom or Gzdoom, however note that you might suffer from unexpected lags in some grandiose slaughter situations. (a.k.a lots, lots of monsters)

Read this before playing!
---DO NOT run this wad with mods that affect dehacked content, unless you want to see 200 SMMs and Nazis laying around.
---This wad is balanced around pistol-starting, and doesn't support DM/Coop gameplay.
---There are no secret exit in Map15 or any other maps, don't waste your time looking for it.
---Knowing that difficulty settings exist will greatly improve your experience. Note that Map32 has unique difficulty settings to them.
---Special Challenge: There are capybaras hidden in every map, now go look for them!

 

Hey, Not too Rough - The ideal way to play the wad without getting seizures.
Hurt Me Plenty - Served for causal players who want a bit of challenges.
Ultra-Violence - Served for average players who want heavy challenges.
Nefarious - Served for experienced players only.
Impossible - Quite literal.

Custom Content

Green Cyberdemon (a.k.a Cyber Jrs)
These cyberdemons replaced Spider Masterminds and have only 1000 health (same as barons) compared to regular cyberdemons.
They're here to prevent situations where you need to shoot down cyberdemons with super shotgun and waste 30 seconds doing so.
------------------------------------------
Evil Eye Turret
Replace Wolfenstein SS, these immobile indestructible turrets will fire plasma projectiles towards you when you get in their line of sights.
They react extremely fast, and therefore can cause lots of troubles when the space is restricted, or when there are a lot of them.

Interesting concept!

Maybe change the title, because it makes me (and probably other people as well) about a Speedmapping project. Or just put a precise deadline / a fixed time for mapping (example 6 hours) for the project if you want to keep the "speed" in your project.

Also, there's a texture pack for this? From the pics looks like there's one... Did we can use our textures as well?

If I'm ever gonna place a fixed time it would be around 2-3 days. I want to keep the maps short but still elaborate(relatively) Because the first map I made(before the idea of this project came) took me 2 days, and I think that will be enough to pull off a short and still nice map.

Or I guess I'll just remove "speed" lmao

The textures are mostly from Magnolia and Stardate20x7. And sure, you can use your own textures, but I'm not sure if the new color palette will screw them up.

If you're willing to contribute, please join the discord server before it's too late! More mappers is always better.

[Thelokk]

Hey, just joined the Discord server, would love to contribute.

[i suck at nicknames]

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I wanted to know whether this wad's been completed yet? I was looking for more of your maps to play (loved Newt and Mucus Empire) and I saw this thread and its dormancy and....yeah I was just curious.

 

(Unless this is supposed to be a 32-map megawad in which case I totally understand everyone taking their time.)

 

Apologies again for the inconvenience.
