Aqfaq Posted April 9, 2015 Hi! Here is a quick demopack for Doom 2. I tried to die as fast as possible in each level. I can't recall seeing demos like this, but it is an obvious category, so maybe it has been done before? In hindsight, it might have been more interesting to do this on Skill 1, because then dying would be harder. I used Skill 4. It was quite fun playing like this and it also feels funny watching many of these short demos in a row. It would be interesting to see more stuff like this for other notable wads. I played with Prboom-plus-2.5.1.3. -complevel 2.doom2-fastest-death-demos.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
Revved Posted April 9, 2015 To be fair, I've seen other people try something like this out. There was a bunch of Duke Nukem 3D ILs where the goal was to die as fast as possible. There was also a project 4 years ago called the Speed Deaths Archive, which is what you can imagine it would be. In terms of being Doom-related, there is the Good At Doom deh patch where gibbing yourself with a rocket launcher, a Cyber's rocket, or being telefragged automatically ends the level. 0 Share this post Link to post

Never_Again Posted April 10, 2015 This idea would have some entertainment value with the following improvements implemented: 1) using a DEH patch that would end the level upon the player's death, à la Good At Doom™ 2) multilevel runs only Clicking thirty-two times just to see the player die within seconds is a pointless chore. 0 Share this post Link to post

I remember that, where is that thing now? I don't known if this demo pack have the same mechanism, i'll check them out later... 0 Share this post Link to post

Aqfaq Posted April 10, 2015 I agree with Never_Again. It is also hard to tell the exact time of death without automatic tool for that. That is one reason I did not optimize some of the levels as well as I could. A DEH patch would be nice to have, indeed. A relaxing aspect of this category is that you are guaranteed to succeed. 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted April 14, 2015 Nice anc, good use of pistol. I love how many maps in this category end with the player hugging a bunch of imps, our best friends. For some reason lots of people misspell "Memento" as "Momento", I don't know why, but it's a common mistake so you don't need to feel embarassed I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
