Quantum Dranger Posted November 12, 2017 I'd love to take a crack at a final map. Is a custom boss allowed like Nova 2? 0 Share this post Link to post

I believe the answer is yes and that @Obsidian is the person to speak to about that. By the way, it's cool to see that people are still interested in making stuff for this. I just worry because some maps are now 18 months old and there is honestly little driving force from the top of this project. 0 Share this post Link to post

AD_79 Posted November 13, 2017 Yeah... as much as I'd like to lead this project and see it to completion, it would be best for someone like Scotty to take over. I just do not have the motivation these days to manage this, or to do much of anything, really. I've tried and I just can't seem to make it work. Sorry. 1 Share this post Link to post
Benjogami Posted November 13, 2017 Sorry to hear that. I didn't mean to pick on you. It's just that a lack of motivation in project management becomes obvious eventually, so if someone else is capable and up for it, why not give em a go. :D 0 Share this post Link to post

NeedHealth Posted November 13, 2017 Moon maps - to me - are overdone I think. Lush, fluffy Jungle maps to frolic around in, however... 0 Share this post Link to post
dybbuk81 Posted November 13, 2017 MAP02 and MAP01 should be swapped IMO 0 Share this post Link to post
Big Ol Billy Posted November 13, 2017 Very close to having a map ready to submit, I just have to finish transitioning it to PrBoom+ cl9 compatibility (started it as a boom-compatible map but tested only in GzDoom... not the wisest move on my part). I'm gonna pitch it as MAP31. It's jungle-themed with some quirky features, maybe-controversial design decisions, and an elaborate secret that would be a natural exit to the super-secret level. Hope this project makes it over the finish line, looks like there are some impressive maps here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Scotty Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Ok, spoke with AD briefly and it looks like i'll be taking charge, then. I need to clear some other Doom commitments before i can concentrate on this so give me a few weeks to get them out the way. Meanwhile, keep posting your maps - i'll keep adding everything to the alpha. Most likely early January, i'll post the new thread and provide feedback on every submitted map. Megiddo III will be in this mapset so consider either map15 or, less likely, one of the secret maps reserved for that. If you want to know what that map is about, check out the first two Megiddo maps in Nova I and II and contact me if participating is of interest... @Spectre01 @bioshockfan90 i saw you guys posted screens of maps in progress, how far away are these? Reckon you could get something finished by the end of 2017? edit - one thing i am looking for is a potential map01, something short and fast paced with low tier monsters... i don't think we currently have a true map01 style map in the set, personally.

Spectre01 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Hey @Scotty ! I've been taking a break from my map to work on SlaughterMAX/DMP2017 stuff, but I believe I can get a beta version done by 2017 since I have more free time now. It's a huge map with a rather high monster count, which I currently have in the 28 slot. It's probably best in the 29 slot, unless there's a more epic Moon map by someone. Also, can the red field texture in the resource pack be fixed to animate? It's currently static and I want it moving! 1 Share this post Link to post
Scotty Posted November 15, 2017 Ok, i fixed that animation so that'll be in when everything gets 'officially' updated. A big map29 is cool with me, although i think Megiddo should have the highest monster count as it did in previous Nova sets (around 1k iirc), so you don't need to go too massive with it. 1 Share this post Link to post

I'm not familiar with "Megiddo", but I'm currently sitting at 2.6k enemies with 2 more large fights I'd like to do. I'm trying to make sure the fights aren't too intense or grindy though, so no hardcore slaughter. Also, what's the casual time limit to aim for if it's a large map29? 2 Share this post Link to post

E3 WIP map from Spectre01, possibly also Relinquished (if he's still around), Snikle, Quantum Dranger working on Map30? Map31 - Big 'ol Billy WIP Map32 - Open??? So, we might actually not be far off with this... Edited November 15, 2017 by Scotty 4 Share this post Link to post

NeedHealth Posted November 15, 2017 Probably going to have to make some changes to Dante Allegory as I was expecting it to be placed around map01 -> map03 when I made it. It's nothing big, however @Scotty I also relinquished my claim on map32, because I am going to do an jungle map eventually. 0 Share this post Link to post
bioshockfan90 Posted November 15, 2017 If E1 is full and I haven't finished my map, i'd be willing to submit the current standalone map i'm working on that coulldddd fit for E2, but i think you'd need to import some textures into the WAD 0 Share this post Link to post
Scotty Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Ok, updated this. NeedHealth, E2 is essentially full as it stands, fyi. Unless you work very very quickly and get a map in before i finish this one :P (Megiddo has a reserved slot). E1 isn't full yet there's at least 2 spaces. Note the map order is basically just submission order, please don't go overhauling maps based on this!! It'll make things unnecessarily complicated. If you've submitted a map just sit back and chill until a later date where an official alpha build will be given alongside feedback on every single map. 0 Share this post Link to post
NeedHealth Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Yes, I figured as much because it my usual luck( not confirmation bias). Maybe I'll go do an moon map then. e- moon map. Traditionally map order is reversed in nova 3. e2 - can't spell. Edited November 15, 2017 by NeedHealth 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted November 15, 2017 @Scotty hmm did my map that you picked up die then? If so then I'll probably just resurrect it in some form for another project at some point in the distant future. 0 Share this post Link to post

I did work on it a bit, slowly but surely, and had a plan for it, but getting it finished for this definitely a bridge to far now that i have to oversee things too, sorry man. :( Unless i hand it back to you possibly? Either way, the vision i had was to expand on that column idea into a massive cave underneath the surface of the moon. Here's where it was at, feel free to do what you please with the stuff i added, it's your map really anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post
