[B0S] Presents... A.L.T. (not my work)

[Katamori]

First of all, I must say that this wad isn't my work, and I'm not a member of this clan but because of the inactivity of Lainos, I found necessary to make a thread to this WAD.

Lanios and his Russian Doom clan, [B.0.S] have made a WAD previously (http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread.php?postid=968874) and now, they relased a complete megaWAD. I know that because I'm speaking with Lainos via Youtube.

Here's a video:

An here's a download link: http://bosdoom.clan.su/load/0-0-0-19-20

PS.: I think it's quite a great stuff.

[Guest]

Some of those areas look amazing.

Thanks Katamori, good job.

[General Rainbow Bacon]

Yeah, I just took a quick look through. Awesome looking stuff.

Lainos sent me this on Youtube, I'll probably be doing a blind Let's Play of it in the future. :)

That other Russian megawad that came out a while back... Hero's Tales or something like that it was called. Was that by the same bunch of guys, by any chance?

[Memfis]

Partially.

Heroes' Tales credits:

A.L.T. credits:

A.L.T. megaWAD is by [B0S] clan. It has no relation to Heroes' Tales.

We would not release A.L.T. here until V1.1. :( I suggest you don't play and wait for official V1.1 release here.

And we made Da Will previously.)))

[Kira]

Why doesn't they upload them on idgames? They look awesome!

[Memfis]

Because this is not the final version. So please report bugs and post suggestions if you notice something. :)

fdas for first 5 maps

I didn't have a slightest idea what to do in map 5 and just wandered around for 10 minutes... Actually I still don't have idea what was I supposed to do. I grabbed one sphere through wall in map 3 and some traps were dumb, also sounds replacement is not what I'm too fond of. I don't mind if it's just a few sounds like usually eternal's stuff, but this was a little too much. But overall I liked it so far. If majority of maps will be similar to map 3, then cool.

About map05.

And yet I recommend wait not long for V1.1.

[j4rio]

I stared at that panel a while thinking if it's worth shooting at it and wasting more ammo... somewhat settled with "no" because it looked totally ordinary. It could be made a little bit more obvious.

Oh, thanks! First time the search function let me clueless :-)

[Lainos]

A.L.T. V1.1 is finished, link is refreshed. Please redownload WAD.

[Katamori]

Changelog please?

[Lainos]

So many fixes - I don't write them.

[Not Jabba]

I CLEVed around this a little bit just to check it out, and I'm very excited to play it. Two things:

1. This looks like pretty much the best thing ever.
2. The last few levels didn't have custom music; is this intentional, or are you planning to add it?

[Lainos]

No, WAD will not changing now, I think.

[gun_psycho]

Having taken a look at the wad, I gotta say it's quite an interesting levelset. I also like how weird the last few levels are. (The Icon of Sin boss battle being at map11 was odd IMO, but at least I didn't mind; this is coming from someone who saw how anticlimactic those IOS battles usually are at the end of every megawad.)

[Colusio]

Only played the first two levels (made by the same author).
I'm highly impressed, I played the story.

@j4rio For me the sound replacements (in the first two levels) made the enivronment immersive.

[Katamori]

BTW story: what is this about?

I've read the intermissions but it's not clear for me. Where's that plane? Why I see myself at the beginning and at the end? What the name A.L.T. means? It's not clear for me.

However, levels are very atmospheric, I feel that I fight in some real and various places, like in Alien Vendetta or Reverie.

2 Katamori

!!!SPOILER!!!

Spoiler

After many trips to various places (cities, bases, virtual reality and other), at the end protagonist realizes that he died in a plane crash. But the portal has transformed the nature of the protagonist, and now he is doomed to wander for a existent and non-existent places, memories and other "worlds".
A.L.T. is name of the portal - Absolute Life Transformation.☥ You can see this inscription on first level.

[Katamori]

Thanks!

[Lainos]

Changes:
- Added music on maps 27, 28, 29, 30 and text-screen.

[ella guro]

i was going to make this it's own thread, but i feel like this is relevant enough for a bump. here's a thing i wrote about A.L.T. that just got put up on unwinnable.com (SPOILER WARNING):

http://www.unwinnable.com/2013/10/24/lost-worlds-a-l-t/

i love this megawad very much.

[Katamori]

A little bit off, but ella, where on Earth you have been for so long?! :D

I mean, poor Eris Falling had to take over Doom 2 In Name Only to be able to make it finish. We missed you :D
