FireWarden1000 Posted May 13, 2023 I'm being torched by the community, now I'm burning. I'm joking around. I am going to have to release a new map patch. The map was supposed to be an experiment, because Dark Arena was described by critics as being a DOOM clone, but I disagree. The game plays different from DOOM, but the auto aim was almost unusable in the game. I had to trick the flying enemies into changing their elevation to shoot them. When enemies would shoot the player, the game would slow down completely, because of the special effects. If Dark Arena used the same graphics engine as DOOM, the game would probably be a good game, but Graphic State Limited was going out of business at the time. Perhaps the graphics engine used in DOOM2, and Duke Nukem Advance for the GBA was more expensive than the Dark Arena graphics engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
FireWarden1000 Posted June 8, 2023 I accidentally deleted my original post which took me a long time to write, but I suppose I will have to write a new post. I completely forgot what I said during the original map release, I knew I had a 2 post system in place for a reason, but that is too late now. With the Version 1.1 release of EVADED, if you guessed an appearance of the triangle shaped rooms, you are correct. If you said "transformative" on YouTube for any reason, you win the prize. I admit I do not have any prizes to give out to anyone, but people will get to see the map sources to EVADED. Let's see how many people will download the new map release of EVADED, because I had at least 60 downloads in 1 month which has to be a new record, great job everyone. The map sources are not provided in any order, but gives you an idea of how I developed EVADED: Base Layers: MS-DOS 6.22 - Microsoft Operating System Secondary Layers: Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2001 - Activision Publishing Inc. The Ultimate DOOM 1995 - Id Software L.L.C. Quake 4 2005 - Raven Software Out of This World 1991 - Delphine Software International Dragon Wars 1989 - Interplay Productions Inc. 0 Share this post Link to post
FireWarden1000 Posted July 1, 2023 Version 1.2 of EVADED is now released, and the gameplay has improved substantially. If I had more time with the map update I would improve the mobility in each area instead of building narrows pathways, but I will save that idea for the next map update. I have made adjustments to how map development time is calculated, and I decided that practice time is no longer necessary. Not including practice time during map development will give people the impression I am building giant sized maps in 20 hours, which is not true. I actually prefer to build detailed maps over larger sized maps, because I will demolish large parts of the map with the next map update. The next personal update, I am moving towards rolling map updates for all DOOM maps based on performance or download rates. I noticed my maps are being downloaded almost daily, which means I will release more DOOM content on the Doomworld Forums. I am not going to stick with 1 WAD, no instead I am going to move from project to project to make the WAD releases on the Doomworld Forums more dynamic, and will catch the audience by surprise. I am not prioritizing which WADS will be updated, but a random WAD will be updated based on the performance of my maps on the Mod DB website. I am anticipating this year will be a busy DOOM content release year for myself, and I thank all those who are involved. The YouTubers strike again, somehow someone said De Facto on YouTube, and I cannot believe this happened. I am not doing this on purpose, but I admit I am trying to hide my secret passwords, because if I don't this, the consequences will only become more significant. People should stop trying to guess my secret passwords which shouldn't even be real, because this is a very dangerous situation. Play my DOOM maps, and see for yourself. Eventually people will be in my living room watching me build DOOM maps, and find out where the other cat stranglers are hiding, which is probably half the people that you know. Unbelievable, here is an updated list of my map developer sources for EVADED: Base Layers: MS-DOS 6.22 - Microsoft Operating System Windows Vista - Microsoft Operating System Secondary Layers: Out of This World 1991 - Delphine Software International Wolfenstein 2009 - Raven Software Call of Duty: Finest Hour 2004 - Activision Publising Inc. Command and Conquer 1995 - Virgin Interactive Entertainment 0 Share this post Link to post
FireWarden1000 Posted January 1 With the release of EVADED1.3, while the gameplay is relatively the same as the previous release of EVADED, the map release will include new areas to explore in the map as well as a revised storyline to be more up to date with the INFERNO RISING storyline. The EVADED map was completely redesigned with 3 Keys required to exit the level. DOOMWADS Moving ahead with DOOMWAD releases, I have decided to slow down the DOOMWAD releases, because I am taking the DOOMWADS into a different direction, which involves converting levels in commercial games into DOOM2 maps. In order for the plan to succeed, I will need to play the games first before I am able to design the map, which will take time, and effort to complete these projects. Playing the games is more difficult than anyone would realize, well not every time, but if I am confident I am able to convert the level into a DOOM2 map, that will be the plan. The new map releases will be released into the INFERNO RISING map set which means the maps will follow the same storyline. There is a chance I will release a completely original DOOM2 map designed from scratch. WADREVIEWS There are times I have to finish a project before I am able to return to the Doomworld Forums to release more WADREVIEWS. This means I will not be as active on the Doomworld Forums, but I will be more active on Facebook, which is the trade off. EXPANSIONWADS The EXPANSIONWADS project will utilize about half the resources I originally planned for DOOMWAD releases, but to compromise with the resource utilization EXPANSIONWADS requires, the EXPANSIONWAD releases will start as a DOOMWAD, which means the Doomworld Forums will still be part of EXPANSIONWADS, and EXPANSIONWADS will no longer be a Facebook exclusive. There will be DOOMWADS that will be included in EXPANSIONWADS instead of being released individually, and the DOOMWAD will still follow the same build quality as the maps that I release with reduce build time, because there are 4 DOOMWADS in each release of EXPANSIONWADS. What I am able to build within 20 hours for each map is what you will expect to see in the EXPANSIONWAD releases. I will need to release patches for the EXPANSIONWADS. 1 Share this post Link to post
EmoLevelDesigner Posted January 1 A level with some positive and negative sides. Positive: Well done stylish architecture of UAC storage facility that holds items, computers and pictures. Nicely modeled teleporter. Well balanced difficulty. Negative: Monotonous battles. Your enemies are mancubus, hell knight and imp in a cramped space almost all 20 minutes the level lasts. Often a monster get stuck due to inability to squeeze through a door. Only break from this monotony is an open area with the elevator. Hard to find the door that requires red key since it's hidden behind a corner. Overall a fun map with good visuals that is worth playing. 1 Share this post Link to post
FireWarden1000 Posted January 1 EmoLevelDesigner, thank you for the YouTube video, and the short WADREVIEW for EVADED1.3, because I rushed EVADED1.3 out the door to meet the 2023 end of the year deadline, but I am overall satisfied with how the level turned out. I scared you in the Office Area, because you were avoiding the end of the hallway at the Red Key Door towards the Underground Storage Area, but if you didn't know, Doomguy is able to climb over obstacles that are a certain height. The premise of EVADED was to build a DOOM2 map that was overrun by Demons due to a science experiment, and this will explain why the level is filled with enemies. If I removed the number of boxes in the level, the enemies would have more room to move around, because if the areas of the map were filled with boxes, I would only be able to fill the area with Imps. Based on my observations with EVADED, the enemies should be able to fit through the doors, and are actually not stuck, because stuck enemies will not be able to attack the player. I am not sure when I will release the next patch for EVADED, but level improvements will be included with each patch. 0 Share this post Link to post
