AshtralFiend Posted October 27, 2023 41 minutes ago, Biodegradable said: Nice going! Thanks for the video! Your Playthroughs are always fun to watch :D A couple of thoughts: Spoiler - The last monsters were in that secret section that gets blocked after you get the yellow skull key. It's so far off to the left side of the map and you just had to scroll a little more (it's next to the exit). Maybe keep the secret open? I like it as a one time chance, but it may be unfair to UV Maxers; - The last arena is a little hard without the secret Rad Suit, there was a green switch to drain the nukage on a wall close to it. I like it as it is, but in all the videos/demos I saw, very few people found it... Perahps I'll have to change it? 0 Share this post Link to post

Considering that particular rad suit is a secret and the fight is doable without it, I think making the button easier to find would negate its purpose as a secret. It's fine how it is, fam. 2 Share this post Link to post
Biodegradable Posted October 28, 2023 Man, MAP04 has me stumped. Spoiler I've been running around the map for ages, but I can't find any further progression. How the fuck do you obtain the blue skullkey? 1 Share this post Link to post

AshtralFiend Posted November 1, 2023 Working on version 0.3 based on all the info gathered through comments and videos! If you have played the wad and want to criticize or give feedback, feel free to share your thoughts so I can incorporate them into this version! Thanks again to all the members who tested Head Trauma thus far! 1 Share this post Link to post
Async Unicorn Posted November 1, 2023 I only played first map and I already can say that you're a genius and your design is brilliant! 1 Share this post Link to post
Async Unicorn Posted November 1, 2023 And now it's the second map, and it's even greater! Jeez, where did you learn those skills?) I can unironically say that it's one of the best wads I ever played in my life, and especially this year, I wonder what would be the next... 1 Share this post Link to post
Async Unicorn Posted November 1, 2023 Now I'm finally played third map and I won't say anything other than that you deserve a cacoward, to be honest, it's an incredible wad, your progression, your design, your attention to details - it's worth a lot. I'll play second half tomorrow, but it's already a magnum opus. 1 Share this post Link to post

Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying the maps! The last two are the best of the five, in my opinion. Hope you have fun finishing them! 0 Share this post Link to post
Serathis Posted November 3, 2023 This thing is kicking my ass. Worthy successor to Going Down. Every map a new challenge and new ways to mindfuck me. 1 Share this post Link to post
AshtralFiend Posted November 10, 2023 A new version has been uploaded! Thanks again to all the members who tested the wad! I'll wait a couple of days for more feedback. If everything is in order, this will probably be the last version before the final upload. 1 Share this post Link to post

dmh094 Posted November 27, 2023 I gotta play more of this. I’m about midway through map 2 :) as soon as I’m done with community mapping I’ll get back into the play through! 😁 0 Share this post Link to post

JadingTsunami Posted November 29, 2023 Really enjoyed this set. Difficulty was just right and I enjoyed hunting down all the secrets. Nice use of staggered sequencing for the various switch events too. 1 Share this post Link to post
ProfBloom Posted November 30, 2023 Played through the whole set tonight, had a blast. Creative levels, great use of vanilla textures, hot gameplay, good challenge. Awesome set! 2 Share this post Link to post

TasAcri Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) The switch on the wall between the blue pillars in map 01 can't be activated in woof. Nvm, i had to change the comp settings, sorry for the crappy bump. 1 Share this post Link to post

CortexReaver Posted April 3 (edited) Tough but fun shit: Sorry for me being a complete r-word and not be able to kill a Cybi with a two BFG shots... I am not as cool as TimeOfDeath :( By the way, is there a way to complete map06? Edited April 8 by CortexReaver 1 Share this post Link to post
AshtralFiend Posted April 3 1 hour ago, CortexReaver said: First two maps, tough but fun shit: Hey, thanks for playing! It's always nice to see new videos of this wad! Just a fair warning, the last two maps are somewhat hard. I think they will probably become a little frustrating with fast monsters enabled. Good luck and hope you have fun! 1 Share this post Link to post
