Music: "Demons on the Prey" by Bobby Prince (stock E1M7)

 

Episode [1,2,3]: 1

 

Difficulty Settings: Are basically implemented (I didn't really think that hard while doing it)

 

Comments: You know, there are times were I wonder if I even know how to make a short and simple map. This is one of those times lol. The basic concept for this map was to have a computer-heavy techbase, with a bright upper floor and a dark lower one, inspired by a dream I once had ages ago. It wasn't meant to be complex, but like other maps I've made, it eventually ballooned into a 20-minute three-key gantlet, and I know that's not everybody's jam. Consider this a promise that the next map I make will be a shorter one.

 

The map I made for PUSS 31 had an extended opening sequence of several rooms, designed to build suspense until the first (close) encounter. Yet without backtracking, there wasn't much reason for the player to go back to those rooms. I'm often in awe of other mappers who can reuse old areas with (seemingly) little effort, so with this map, I wanted to try and practice that skill. I built the opening room with the intention that the player would need to revisit it at least twice. I realize now this may be partially to blame for the map's scope, since now I had to invent a reason why the player would be looping back around to the beginning not once but twice, but hey--no one said you had to nail it on the first attempt.

 

Okay, now I'll address the elephant in the room. Yes, this map has 30 secrets in it. Knightguy eat your heart out. Here's the explanation: About two-thirds of the way through I realized that I'd actually put a high number of secrets in the map already: 11 by that point, which is pretty uncommon for me. For some reason, this possessed me with the thought: "Hey, what if I kept going and put 30 secrets into the map? You know, since it's the 30th anniversary?" Truthfully, I cheated somewhat, as 10 of those are part of the same secret area, but the other 20 are all legit. I don't figure they're too glaringly obvious, either, so happy hunting.

 

Last point: I've never made a map using only the Doom 1 roster, so combat in the map... well, it exists. Having a monster cap didn't help matters either, and some areas feel a bit lightly populated (my fault for making those areas too big). The weirdest thing is that the combat does feel vaguely reminiscent of Knee-Deep in the Dead, so uh... mission accomplished?

Is it too late to claim a slot? If not I'll be making an E2 style lab/dungeon.

There is no such thing as claiming slots for this project. Just make a map, send it in, and it will be included if it follows the rules. About 3 days of mapping to go, have fun!

[MAN_WITH_GUN]

Name: Techbound

Music: Unknown

Episode: 1 (E1M1 replacement)

Difficulty Settings: All implemented, co-op starts as well.

Comments: I kept in mind it should be either in E1M1 or somewhere near to start of the episode, so besides UV - it's mostly a brezze map.

 

Download: It's sure is a map.

Episode [1,2,3]: [ 3 ] 

 

Difficulty Settings: [ Easy, Normal, Hard, Co-op]

 

Comments: Very vanilla techno hell map. Kinda like E3M3. I feel like it's slightly rough around the edges in some areas, but it adds to the DTWID feel. Plenty of coves and side areas with goodies and back to basics combat.

Episode: 1

Difficulty Settings: Fully implemented

Comments: I don't ever really make Doom I maps, I told myself I'd never make Doom I maps, but I figured I'd make an exception for PUSS XXXII. I generally tried my hardest to follow Knee Deep's mapping conventions, and ironically actually had fun making something I never would normally make, even if that thing is just the exact style of Knee Deep, hope you enjoy!

 

V2: Edited some textures including a missing texture on a lift.

We're actually already working on our 2nd 27. There are currently 35 submissions to this project, with more on the way. Just over 3 days! Let's keep the fire alive!

[cannonball]

It probably doesn't help the count on here if I haven't made any updates since the first version of the first map I made;

So here are the v.3 updates to both my submissions that have already been posted on discord.

 

Go Phish

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4s0i4vwewpwvlou8cu4iq/Go-phish.3.wad?rlkey=79z0s856syicm3sp3z2yd1l5j&dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/53kqne2ey5ncgoz11zxsa/Armoury.3.wad?rlkey=u9xdxmg4t00q0h9sidu2lz6hy&dl=0

 

Both should be pretty close to being considered final versions. As stated in the Discord thread a third map looks unlikely from myself.

[Fun-E Personn]

Neo Kasyrgan.

Fixed some texturing issues and added a bit of detailing to some areas that requiered it.

I think that this will be the final version of my map.

[CyberosLeopard]

Map Name: Deimosian Memories. (I'm quite sure there's a character limit to map names, but I can't find much information. I'm presuming Crispy removes this limitation, but just to be safe..).

 

Author: Cyberos Leopard

 

Music: "Halls of Wandering Spirits" by Myrgharok (Ultimate Doom MIDI pack)

 

Episode [1,2,3]: 2 (the map occupies E2M1 currently, but any map number is fine.)

 

Difficulty Settings: Yes (ITYTD/HNTR, HMP, UV/N are all implemented, but I don't play on UV so it may be unbalanced. Co-op starts are included with additional co-op monsters. DeathMatch starts are also included, but I haven't tested them.)

 

Comments: Not too much to say, the map is heavily inspired by the maps in Episode 2, taking numerous ideas and pieces from those maps (I didn't copy-paste anything from outside of the map itself) and stitching them together. Special thanks to KrisLikesCandy/KrisFahrenheit for the... trick that can be found in the level (strictly speaking, they didn't so much tell me but mentioned a thing and my brain filled-in the rest ;) ).

 

Edit: I've added monsters for co-op play (HMP & UV/N) and removed the additional keys on DM spawns (they're not needed). I've also fixed a possible issue regarding a removed door (I didn't nullify the line property).

I've fixed a few issues that were highlighted by DemoGorgonZola's video, namely some default and missing textures, along with adding just a little bit more ammo.

@OverflowingMocha and me collaborated to bring you this complete episode 2 replacement. Not only is it a super rad tribute to the Serenity trilogy by having every level contain sector art of the corresponding letter in the title, but it's also Vanilla compatible!

 

And here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lsp1az9ge4pn8qi0ovu0d/Absurdity.wad?rlkey=44qzky54w3r6wvrzwg2gjwoov&dl=0

Episode [1,2,3]: 2

Difficulty Settings: Somewhat. Will expand.

Comments: Firmly encrusted into the surface of Phobos is Martian Security Station Alpha. All communication to and from the Martian surface is waylaid, filtered, tracked, and greenlit through this station. The security station has an advanced array of sensors that can. Judging by the strange runes and odd growths cracking the impenetrable plastatite walls, it seems that a sinister force has been given passage to the red planet through a previously unknown passage outside of realspace...

Comments:

 

This little map was forced to be made by @Peccatum Mihzamiz, as the one who requested restrictions for this map:

 

- No borders allowed;

 

- a map smaller than 1500*1500 pixels;

 

- Mostly incidental combat and supremely easy.

 

This map is probably the easiest from all submissions i did for this project, even on UV it's piece of cake. Could be placed in earlier slots i think.

The bear has awoken from his slumber, so submissions are closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! This may be the biggest event we’ve done that wasn’t 1-hour speedmaps! What a better way to celebrate Doom’s 30th like we do here at the Pineapple Under the Sea than to put out like that! (Maps, of course.) See you soon!

Fixed the softlock point:

32 events in! PUSS has filled a megawad! Glad to see that our penultimate event of the year got so many maps, a wonderful tribute to Doom indeed!

 

A bit of a PUSS update: we have (I have, really,) a lot of backlog work to do for a bunch of our old events that haven't reached RC1 yet. In 2024 the series will be going on a bit of an event hiatus while I take the time to work on old stuff instead of starting new stuff. When PUSS relaunches we'll have a newer approach to running events; essentially we'll only start something new if we finish a current event (lest the following event is ran by a different person). I'll also be reevaluating goals with time limits and map counts etc. etc. (may do a 'event is open until 32 maps thing. We'll see.)

 

Regardless, 2024 isn't for another month. We still have some interesting things planed that will be going down in December. Some folks would argue that this next event isn't necessarily a Christmas event. Some arguments aught to die hard...

 

Spoiler

 

See you in December! Yippie-kay-yay!

[Scionox]

Fixed some sequence breaks, added better difficulty settings to count's labyrinth, added multiplayer monsters to maps that i forgotten to add them to and few changes to dis-carded storage's balancing.
