entryway Posted October 25, 2010 It's time to annonce upcoming work by Eternal. Epic2 is vanilla compatible 32 levels megawad on egyptian / space themes and should be finished in middle november (20-25 november I think). I'll post a few videos from random levels during next weeks if you want. Temporary link: http://prboom-plus.sf.net/epic2.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted October 25, 2010 WOW, it looks fantastic! I'll try it, it is sure! Especially because I love 1st Epic, altough it was a bit frustraitng due to the difficult level playthrough 0 Share this post Link to post
Per-Scan Posted October 25, 2010 This looks great. Like katamori I really enjoyed the first Epic. I wouldn't mind seeing another couple of demo vids. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

That's kind of a change from the first one, which was so huge you had to write a whole new R_PointToAngle to get it to draw properly :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Keeper of Jericho Posted October 25, 2010 Just out of curiosity, did you use graphics from the FPS "Powerslave/Exhumed" for this? Some graphics kind of look familiar, especially that switch... Could just be me, though. Looks great, anyway! Always like 32 megawads for vanilla, those keep the classic Doom gameplay and spirit alive. 0 Share this post Link to post

The wad contains ~1000 'new' textures. Philnemba said:Awesomsause! More Egyptian theme maps :D There is 'space' episode (~10 levels). With aliens :) 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted October 26, 2010 This looks very, very cool!! Looking forward to it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted October 26, 2010 I don't know, how to connect you the Egyptian style with the space base, but it'll be cool :) 0 Share this post Link to post
magicsofa Posted October 26, 2010 looks great although the increased FOV is strange 0 Share this post Link to post

Archi Posted October 26, 2010 Please more videos and screenshots. I liked Epic, so really want to see this one. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted October 29, 2010 Pardon my freedom but this looks fucking beautiful. I'm super excited that this is vanilla compatible too. These promotional videos are prefect too. Short (>2 minutes) videos that show enough of the map without giving away too much or too little before he dies perfectly teases me enough to want to play this really badly. With how marvelous his previous releases were, I can't wait. 0 Share this post Link to post
Archi Posted October 29, 2010 Vanilla compatibility, but looks beautiful and detailed. Amazing work. 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted October 29, 2010 This looks fucking fantastic. Hope you do finish this in 3 weeks. I can't wait. 0 Share this post Link to post
WH-Wilou84 Posted October 29, 2010 Looking great. My only complain is those custom sounds, but whatever. I'm sure this will be awesome to play :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Phobus Posted October 29, 2010 Seems to be lacking all the little graphical alterations that the first Epic had, in favour of new clip and health item graphics and new sounds. Not too sure which I prefer myself, but the overall project sounds very promising. 0 Share this post Link to post
entryway Posted November 1, 2010 Katamori said:And how many level are finished now? 24+2 are done. Only six levels left. One level per three days (~30-35 hours of mapping) is the planned rhythm. Should be finished at November 20, plus two or three days for final testing. Hope you will like it. Spaceship automap: Third episode begins: 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted November 1, 2010 Wow, you use sky models? It's compatibile only with the OpenGL-based source ports, or no? Although looks awesome! 0 Share this post Link to post
Graf Zahl Posted November 1, 2010 Sky definitions are just ignored by software rendering ports so it's a nice addition but not required to make it work. The original post says vanilla compatible. 0 Share this post Link to post
